“I really do care about this”
So much so that I’ll ignore all available evidence that supports puberty blockers for young trans people, will exclusively listen to anti-trans lobbyists, and actively ignoring the voices of trans people, their families and healthcare experts.
i just think anyone involved in this project should be completely and utterly ashamed of themselves, including people who may or may not be fixtures of important podcast empires
It can't be one rule for one and one rule for another. The farmers who drove tractors at the police need to be arrested and charged. The just oil protesters got prison sentences for less. Or this will literally be two-tier policing.
Psa: when people say "we have to get rid of pronouns" they just mean driving trans people out of public life. You aren't going to own them by pointing out that 'We' is a pronoun
dreadful news to wake up to, but don’t pretend like the rise of right wing ignorance is a problem only america is facing. calling america stupid like there weren’t racists rioting in the uk two months ago. it’s a problem for all of us.
I think what I'm least looking forward to from a UK perspective is liberal talking heads congratulating themselves that "at least we're not heading that way over here" when any clear-eyed analysis of the last election result will demonstrate that's *exactly* the path we are on.
I’m not aware if Streeting’s met with any parent of a trans child who’s died by suicide. So, today I’m going to write to ask if he’ll meet with me. Even though both a yes and a no answer will likely make me ill. NHS neglect harmed Alice. A coroner ruled Alice’s death preventable.
Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost.
Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not?
Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not?
Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can?
None of this is coherent.
