Britain is being turned into a hostile environment for trans people. We are in the same bracket as Russia and Hungary for trans rights. All this will achieve is imposing misery on a tiny minority. And history will record this as a dark era.

@Alibaby237 @speakoutsister You do know most school sports are now co-ed, right? Ditto the Duke Of Edinburgh Awards and all school clubs. Banning a very small number of trans girls from.having fun with their mates isn't a win, it's persecution. Solves nothing, just kicks down.

France has conducted a review of healthcare for young trans people and it has come out entirely the opposite to Cass. But then again the personnel involved had not been specifically selected to arrive at a politically-required outcome. https://t.co/xo6X5yaDbK

Are we going to be a country that lets a person meme and shitpost his way out of accountability for alleged war crimes, or do some things still matter?

If you want Pete Hegseth to be able to kill anybody he wants anytime he wants while serving up “trust me bro” as justification with zero oversight from Congress, who gives the Trump admin a blank check to do whatever it wants, then vote for the cowardly Republican enablers.

People who post stuff like this… they DO KNOW that the UK already spends billions topping up the wages of people on minimum wage, because that’s the only way to prevent them losing their homes and/or starving, right?

It is the effective policy goal of successive governments that this man standing in a shop doing absolutely nothing must be paid nearly the same as a middle income graduate worker with far greater responsibilities. Our minimum wage policy is a joke. Pay differentials matter.

Israeli soldiers know they can execute Palestinians in cold blood, and in full view of the world, with no consequences. Here are the consequences of the impunity granted to Israel by Western governments and the Western media.
