If people in the gender critical/TERF movement took a moment to consider that and focus their seemingly abundant energy on addressing the issues that men are causing at this very moment, as everyone argues on Twitter, instead of trans people trying to exist, change might happen.
Men do not need to "pretend to be trans women" to hurt people. They are literally ruining the lives of women all day, every day, very openly and very much as themselves. They have never needed and do not need to "disguise" themselves - they get away with it.
Imagine if JK Rowling used her massive platform to raise awareness of climate change, government corruption, racism and animal cruelty - instead of attacking the rights of trans people to simply exist
This is so upsetting. After being targeted by JK Rowling, support services have been closed for Mermaids.
Trans children are at astronomical rates of risk of suicide, depression and self-harm. Why would any decent person want to damage the a support system?
Sturgeon is correct: “Abusive men are a threat to women. Trans women are not a threat to women. This is about further stigmatising & excluding an already stigmatised group. Real feminists should be concerned with real threats to women, not with stigmatising trans women.” #r4today
After announcing he’ll remove restrictions on banker’s pay, the Chancellor says that 120,000 more people on Universal Credit must "take active steps to seek more and better-paid work, or face having their benefits reduced". Brutal, structural violence against women +children.
Reminder that Queen Elizabeth is not a remnant of colonial times. She was an active participant in colonialism. She actively tried to stop independence movements & she tried to keep newly independent colonies from leaving the commonwealth. The evil she did was enough
This is one of those fascinating times when you see the difference between people who think of monarchs and colonialism are part of some fantasy world, like Disney stories, and those who know the evil of it and whose parents can talk vividly about the cruelty and lasting impact.
People for Palestine Nottingham will be releasing a statement on the events that happened at the protest in Nottingham yesterday. The brutaloty and racism of the police cannot be allowed to continue @NottsUAR#FreePalestine
I will be a Notts Police & Crime Commissioner that tells it how it is.
One that doesn’t support our officers taking the knee. And one that backs our Police all the way in the face of woke hysteria.
Labour are too busy denouncing our Police to care about crime in our towns.
