As usual, I'm recommending using Terry Pratchett's Witches books to fill the witch-shaped hole in your heart. Sir Terry Pratchett was an ally to the end and even wrote at least two nonbinary characters before "nonbinary" was in the common dictionary.

The real problems on Riley Gaines’ college swim team, according to teammates and university documents: abusive coaching, sexual harassment, and eating disorders. But Gaines climbed the MAGA ladder by vilifying trans women in sports.
Now, teammates speak out:

So much of our infrastructure, planning, environmental, and road safety measures seem to be based around politicians' fear of slightly inconveniencing easily-angered motorists. Pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport users are barely considered in their calculations.

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

Leading anti-trans writer Kathleen Stock (whom Rowling is “proud” to call her friend), now comes out with this gem on abortion. Who could have foreseen that TERFs would attack bodily autonomy? All of us did. All of us.
Transphobia rots your brain.
Transphobia rots your brain.
Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

I realize that I won’t get the visibility of JD Vance, but he’s lying when he says the left is responsible for the death of Charlie Kirk. The shooter was a right-wing MAGA Christian who thought Kirk’s politics weren’t extreme enough.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.
