Yes, "pregnant people" is inclusive language that describes pregnant cis women AS WELL AS trans men and nonbinary people, a lot of whom can get pregnant. But it also describes, like, 12-year-old girls who get pregnant. Do centrist pig-dogs think THEY are "women" too? Coz...bit of a red flag, that.

▪️ If it's an immigrant...
"See!"

▪️ If it's not an immigrant, but they're not white (or don't have a white British name)...
"See! Next generation of immigrants!"

▪️ If it's a white guy with a British name...
"See! See what these immigrants made good peaceful people do?!"

Last week’s #SaferToBeMe conference in Newcastle was an amazing gathering of LGBTQ+ campaigners, researchers, advocates, allies, and accomplices, brought together by ReportOUT , Pride Action North , and Out North East .

Thanks to Drew Dalton and all of the volunteers who made it happen.

My month of travelling continues…

Now heading up to Newcastle for ReportOUT’s Safer To Be Me conference (tickets are still available for in person or virtual attendance).

Am looking forward to meeting people in person for the first time, despite having worked with them for 2 1/2 years!

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

I made it to Edinburgh yesterday for BearScots despite the M6 being closed around Carlisle (adding two hours to my journey) and the beginning of Storm Amy!

I’m looking forward to a weekend of catching up with friends and their news/gossip!

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

Brexit isn’t working, and the British people know it. They're fed up with the damage caused by the deal forced on us by Conservative party.

Keir Starmer must show some courage and set Britain on a clear path to a new customs union with the EU by 2030.

New post:

"The Radicalisation Spiral"

Why are so many people becoming radicalised? Is there any way to stop it?

With an antivaxxer running the US health dept + extreme discourse dominating politics it's an increasingly pressing question.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.
It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”

🚨‪ Wes Streeting - did you see our memorial bench outside Labour HQ?

A year ago, it stood outside Tory HQ. Despite a new govt, the #NHScrisis continues.

Hundreds of people a week suffer severe harm or death due to urgent care delays. Will you invest in the NHS to stop this?
