The exact people now saying "Nigel Farage was young and foolish at school" (to excuse his racism, bullying and harassment of fellow pupils at Dulwich College) are the same people who said "Shamima Begum was old enough to know what she was doing".

I’m sure my own followers know by now, but just in case:
The UK’s anti-trans hysteria is just that: hysteria. The UK is a stand out in how mainstream politicians have adopted this horrible bigotry.

no group in the world was more primed for radicalization than SV techbros: patted on the head for their ‘intelligence,’ the engineering mindset of tech and tech alone can fix this everything, the tie ups with the military, the lack of regulation, politicians and pundits sucking up, and the MONEY
The radicalization of Silicon Valley is the subject of my forthcoming book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and The War on Democracy."

A very wealthy dude from a country that has never had a single female president is yearning for ‘masculine leadership’. And public executions.

A few months ago I read that many datasets used to train these AI models are full of porn to ensure “women aren’t underrepresented in the dataset.” Once you know, you see it everywhere.

There seems to be a very particular form of antipathy directed toward autistic women and girls diagnosed c/ lower support needs
A narrative that we’re ‘attention seeking’ from a need to feel ‘specia’- which feels rooted in misogyny
The desire to silence women’s voices and experiences rumbles on

One thing you notice about anti-feminism is that its public discourses are all about erecting a fantasy of men’s victimization that is clung to all the more desperately and insistently the more it contradicts the actual facts. So the more women are hurt, the more we’re told that men are suffering.
every day there are new horrors for gender-marginalized people and women--trump going after the equal credit opportunity act, loss of body autonomy, exterminationist anti-trans attacks ramping up--and every single day we have to talk about "male loneliness" and "it's a brutal time to be a young man"

Key point- incr nos of people being diagnosed autistic doesn’t necessarily mean incr nos of autistic ppl
Women + people of colour don’t always fit the prevailing image and may not be referred for assessment
