I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,
If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like

"A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act."

fuck yeah

Very well written summary of the history of the situation in the UK.
Trans people you don't need to read it, but it might come in very handy if you need to explain things to family or friends out there in cis world.
I've sent it to my MP and MSP as part of an ongoing project to try & enlighten them
This has got to me a bit today so here we go.

No Rebecca we can't have a calm discussion for the way forward when one side's intention is to eliminate us, secondly the heat is coming from one side, it's the side accusing trans people of being paedophiles, rapists, cheats and predators.

SO MUCH transphobia is sexual harassment.

Absolutely fucking constant public speculation and comment about our genital anatomy, ability to achieve orgasm, sexual proclivities, reproductive potential… it’s all sexual harassment.
I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans.

What Glinner is doing is sexual harassment.
Just for a second, take a step back, and remember that these are the actions of a 56 year old man towards a 17 year old girl.

We’re hearing that EHRC’s updated Code is now with the Minister for Equalities.

Now, more than ever, it’s critical to write to your MP to get them to pressure her for a debate & vote in Parliament, not for this Code to become statutory automatically.

Please do write; template letter linked below 🙏
Success! We delivered our joint letter demanding full scrutiny, meaningful debate & a free vote for MPs on the new Code of Practice.
www.thepinknews.com/2025/09/02/e...

Many MPs we’ve spoken to are now ready to help.

❗️BUT they’ve advised that they need you—as constituents—to keep writing in❗️

you can really see the misogyny operating as a key lever of transphobia when you realize that both trans women and trans men are considered by transphobes to be women (lying) and women (deluded), respectively

The last time I was at a studio with a layoff, a meeting was derailed because the director asked, with increasing irritation, which engineer was supposed to design a feature that underpinned the whole game. That engineer had been laid off 2 days prior, and no one else knew how to do it.
Layoffs wreck studios. Institutional knowledge is SO valuable in the games industry. When you eventually replace that laid off employee, I don’t care if they’ve got 30 years of experience and dozens of games under their belt. They still have to learn the pipeline, the software, the systems.

Gonna need cis folk to be extremely vocal and actually take action on this. Things are escalating month by month and it's only going to get harder and harder to rebuild these rights.

This is performative cruelty at its most stupid.
1 - Lots of trans people have their lived gender identity on their passport
2 - Why? What's the point? What about attending a political conference relies on your birth genitals?

Joanne poured 70k into the Supreme Court Case which stripped trans people of basic rights then gloated about it. She is now working on doing even more damage. She has also started attacking ND people and ace folk.

Anyone involved with this project deserves to be shamed for their 'neutrality'.
If you’re contributing to the commercial success of the Harry Potter franchise then you’re funding the removal of Trans+ rights. There is a very transparent funnelling of money toward that.

So you don’t get to say you don’t wish to ‘add to the trans debate’.

If the Tories were treating trans people the way Labour is currently doing (and to be clear, Labour are treating trans people worse than the Tories ever did) the people STILL standing up for Labour would be up in arms.
