The politics of language: notice how prices 'rise' or 'surge' or 'increase' as if they have a will of their own. Seemingly, no one 'puts up' prices. There are no 'decisions' which 'raise' prices. Prices just rise all by themselves. Amazing.
What a time for this article to drop, while transphobes rage in my replies and insist they're on the side of women, but end up sounding an awful lot like like the politicians crushing their rights.

One of the slow burner themes of Dead End / DeadEndia is that our true oppressors keep us divided and fighting the people we should call our allies. Imagine what we could do if we were united?
Well done to Mick Lynch for his handling of this line of questioning. He could see what #KayBurley was trying to do. I could see what Kay Burley was trying to do. And he wasn't having any of it.
Oh, and solidarity to all @RMTunion members on strike today!✊🏽
The government has decided to exclude trans and non-binary people from the ban on conversion abuse.
Email your MP to ask for a trans-inclusive ban on conversion therapy. https://t.co/aVtI40uTeo

I have received homophobic abuse at many different points in my life and I see transphobia as no different. #JKDoesntSpeakForMe
The EHRC's statements actively stand in the way of improving the rights and lives of trans people. We know this isn't what the majority of people in Britain want. Sign our open letter in support of trans rights 💌 https://t.co/m6XPCchnXD
LGBTQ+ folx, before we go hating on the BBC, remember the real problems (with transphobia and homophobia), very much lie with BBC News, and the DG. There are lots of other great departments and people there.
