It’s astonishing that people want civil debate with me when they engage in all of the following behaviors. I don’t negotiate with hate or bigotry.
Transphobia can manifest itself in multiple ways. It’s not just a fear of trans people. It’s also aversion, disgust, & hatred.
I face a lot of transphobia & hatred on this platform. However, I will not be driven off by hatred or intolerance. I will keep telling my story, advocating for trans rights, and combating negative & hateful stereotypes of trans people ✊🏳️⚧️
With Pride Month coming up, I’d like to talk about this. It’s great to support “love is love” & celebrate that. No doubt. However, queer and trans people ARE in danger. Depending on where you are, that danger can mean a lot of things.
Here in the U.S., there are 515 anti-trans bills circulating in state houses nationwide. Everything from stripping trans people of legal recognition to ridiculous bathroom bills. The GOP has outdone itself during this election year.
We are facing threats, constant demonization, and a growing violence nationwide. Those that are closing their eyes to it need to open them. Injustice is happening as we speak.
Let’s focus less on corporate pride & more on what the true origins of the Pride movement are: resistance & acts of rebellion against the status quo.
"Parasites aren’t just in our water supply – the industry is full of them."
There isn't a single person in the country would disagree with any of that. Unless of course you happen to be the CEO of @stwater who made almost £13 million in the last 4 years.

"Two London rowing clubs have been forced to cancel training sessions in the leadup to Henley, after videos emerged showing massive pools of human excrement floating on the Thames".
A day of reckoning is coming, I promise you, much sooner that you think.

And indeed the Isle of Wight, Portsea Island, Hayling Island, Thorney Island, Bognor, Paghan, Rustington, hell you know what, just avoid the south coast.
In fact don't go swimming, at all, anywhere, not today.
Making mental health talking and other therapies easily and speedily accessible to all who need it, so many can recover and restart their lives is great, and once done you can look at those who aren't working who could be.
Taking away vital support from people when they have mental health issues, when there are nearly 2m waiting for mental health therapies - many being left to catastrophise - surely risks terrible consequences.
Push economics is good when it pushes people to do something positive. Yet can be cruel when it pushes people to do something they can't do.
Well I'm sure fantastic research was carried out on this bizarre design, that fully supports its use. The kind of research I experienced this morning. Biased, confused & designed to find approval of something obviously not fit for purpose.
@Drew_Hyndman Partly goes towards medical equipment, my wheelchair, my car, taxis & silly things like gloves & replacing worn out clothing.
I say partly as my chair alone cost £6.5k.
The truth is this "benefit" was originally created as compensation for an inaccessible society. Fix that 1st.
