This would be the same Helen Joyce who had her arse handed to her on a plate by the Federal Court of Australia?
Photo of a gormless-looking Helen Joyce alongside a quote from the Federal Court of Australia which reads, "Helen Joyce does not have any formal education or qualifications even in biology, let alone in gender, sex or law...she has no recognised expertise in any of the areas in which she expresses an opinion.'

Another lovely post, Mike.

I picked up this watercolour with the closing lines of that poem from a now long-gone event called Art On The Street that used to take place in my home town.
A bronze frame with a twisted rope design going around it, containing a small watercolour painting of a yellow horse chestnut leaf with the closing lines of 'The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost written on it in cursive script: "Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."

Transphobes are deeply, deeply disturbed individuals.
Screenshot from a transphobe on Twitter that reads, "I would have thought since you think you are a woman you would know that women scan the crotch area of everyone we meet to sex them. That’s why we are so good at it. We also scan other features but that would give away our secret."

I saw this earlier, which sums Fagash Führer, Dickie, Leenoch et al pretty well.
Two part meme with 2 separate images from the US version The Office, one on top of the other. In the upper picture, John Krasinski as Jim Halpert, is standing next to and pointing at a whiteboard with writing on it. It reads, "The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) was created to protect Europe from the threat of fascism ever rising again after WWII." There is a drawing of Hitler in the bottom right hand corner with the word 'fascist' next to it. In the bottom picture, the same character is still next to the whiteboard, but this time is looking into the camera and smiling. The writing on the board now reads, "Reform UK and Nigel Farage want the UK to leave the ECHR... because it works!" There is a drawing of a 'dead' Hitler (his eyes are each an 'x') in the bottom right hand corner with the word 'fascisn't' next to it.

Kavanagh is on record as saying he "preferred AIDS" to supporting trans rights, which tells you everything you need to know about that repulsive individual.
Screenshot of highly offensive tweet by the repulsive transphobe, Dennis Noel Kavanagh. It reads: "I preferred AIDS. It didn't castrate innocent gay boys, and I knew how to fight it. A deadly virus is preferable to the gender ghouls at Stonewall and Mermaids."

Behold!
Photo of 3 transphobes protesting at Brighton Pride. One woman is wearing a pale blue t-shirt with the slogan, 'The female penis doesn't stand up'; someone sitting on motability scooter is holding a sign that reads, 'Homophobia then Pray/now Trans the gay away. Don't fall for it!', and a man is holding a sign in the air that reads, 'Sex not gender.' Another sign propped up on its own reads, 'LGB Allies with the ♀️ & ♂️ signs.

Donation number 58 in the bag!

Big 👍 and 👏 to Shiv - a new Donor Carer who was so good at inserting the needle, I barely felt he'd done it. 😃 I mentioned it to one of the Senior Donor Carers, but it's always nice to share stuff like this, isn't it? Well done, Shiv!

How cute are these button badges from squirkly.etsy.com? #YouAreSafeWithMe
Two button badges with the slogan 'you are safe with me' printed on them. The one on the left has 5 diagonal stripes going from top right to bottom left in the colours of the Trans Pride flag, and the one on the right has 6 diagonal stripes going from top right to bottom left in the colours of the 'classic' Pride flag.

Ever since Rowling shared that hideously smug, celebratory tweet - and its accompanying photo - about the SC ruling, it's been bugging me about what/who she reminded me of...
Image of Cyril Sneer - the greedy, ruthless pink aardvark from the Canadian cartoon 'The Racoons - standing in front of a wall of gold ingots. He has a cigar in his mouth and an evil look on his face.
