Butler is the greatest gift the authoritarian far-right could ever get. A gender identitarian talking absolute b******s. Offering up a wide open goal. Faux feminist. Centres males not females & advocates for males with trans IDs in female services & sports. Conflates sex & gender at every turn.

Just been speaking on Times Radio about Gregg Wallace. I find it quite heartening that so many people are joining the dots re men who dismiss the complaints of older women who *can* speak out (and use it to suggest all other women don't mind and that these women are spoilt / prudish anyways)

Hard agree.
It really worries me to see the left increasingly act as if free speech & free expression are right-wing issues/talking points. Put aside your dislike of the people involved & look at the substance rather than come to tribal snap judgments, for the love of god.

In the week that MPs vote on assisted dying, please - please - can we all agree & act on the fact that the time to end the woeful underfunding of NHS palliative care is now?
If we truly cared about dying people, we wouldn’t neglect their final days.

Everyone should be aware of just how censorious Bluesky is- labelling important legal analysis relating to an imminent Supreme Court case as “intolerance”. Absolutely bonkers and reminiscent of Twitter in the good old days.
Utterly absurd, and wrong, that this post is marked by @bsky.app as "intolerance". In reality it consists of links to serious legal analysis, from someone whose opinion you might agree or disagree with.
I've done a quick round-up of pre-reading for anyone interested in following FWS v Scottish Ministers next week: www.legalfeminist.org.uk/2024/11/23/f...
I haven't been able to find any substantial commentary arguing that SG should win. Please link in reply if you know of any, and I'll add it.

I talked to The Media Show about our Channel 4 News investigation into the Smyth Church abuse scandal. It meant so much to hear Smyth survivor Mark Stibbe praise our journalism. That’s what it’s all about.
