Yes to gender abolition! The clue is quite literally in the name "gender critical" Even transactivists describe us as the "anti-gender movement": gate.ngo/knowledge-portal/in…. Who precisely is it that wants to abolish gender and who is it that wants to entrench & perpetuate it? 🤔
Being a transphobe seems so exhausting to me idk like the constant mental gymnastics you have to go through to justify your beliefs… why?? Why is this your biggest problem in life? Gender abolition is the way brother join the dark side i promise you’ll feel sooooo much better

'Tonia Antoniazzi, a Labour MP, said the draconian legislation would have a chilling effect on parents who wanted to give children loving advice. She told The Telegraph: “I would urge the Prime Minister to step in and scrap this bill.'

It is not uncommon for abusers to begin by harming animals, using them as a testing ground before escalating their violence towards people.
Even if Russell Brand wasn't guilty of r*pe, I'd still be happy with his conviction and whatever sentence he gets on the grounds of it being justice for his childhood dog. I mean, he wrote the below extract himself. As if he thought people would think: "Oh that's mean, but what a refreshingly honest chap he is!" If he could do this to a defenceless animal and laugh about it years later, it tells you a lot about his treatment of those around him who he saw as vulnerable. What an evil prick. Fuck him.

It's always fantastic to see MPs speaking out about this abhorrent Bill. Keep going, @RosieDuffield1; we appreciate all your efforts.

Another day, another attempt to rebrand bisexuality as something supposedly more enlightened. I'm bored of this shit now. 🙄

Oxford Street is full of people wearing Hogwarts scarves! 😂The security guy at the new Harry Potter shop on Oxford Street tells me there is currently just a ‘short’ wait – only 20 minutes – and that they have had >8000 visitors a day so far

We spend so much time celebrating literary masterpieces. Let's talk about the absolute disasters. What's the WORST book you've ever read? Name names. This is a safe space for literary trauma. 😳

And your response is to make victims easier to identify and to give rapists a deadline after which they can escape prosecution? It can and often does take decades for a victim of SA and rape to come forward. Are they supposed to just take it on the chin?
The system is fundamentally unfair & needs reform. Russell Brand's trial has increased public distrust in the process. I suggest mostly removing accuser anonymity (as in the US) & introducing a statute of limitations for most cases voluntarily not reported to the police.

His brother, Shooty McBangbang, is still at large. Police are also appealing for information on their cousin, Willy Firesthegun, who was last seen fleeing the scene with a suspicious-looking Trevor Stabsyouintheface.
We are happy to report that missing person, Rayjay Strikeswithagun, has been located safe. Thank you for helping by sharing the message!

This, all day long. 👇
The Cult of Celebrity is quite an interesting phenonom really. It's a strange human "need" to exalt individuals and then treat them as if they are something other than flawed human beings like the rest of us. And then there is the celebrity themselves who live for the adulation and think they are untouchable. Until they find out that actually no, they are not invincible and that some of the bad stuff they've done is coming back to haunt them in quite spectacular fashion.

Right, lads, enough about women and their tedious experiences. Can we please get back to my groundbreaking conspiracy theories? Mum's just warmed up my tomato soup, and I've got some very important dots to connect before she cuts the crusts off my sandwiches.
Russell Brand may or may not be guilty but that is not why he is going to jail. He is going to jail because he exposed the corruption of the Covid lockdown & 'vaccines' con, The Great Reset, the WEF & the war in Ukraine. Before he did that, there were no allegations against him
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
A jury convicted Russell Brand of rape and three counts of sexual assault on November 5 2026. The charges relate to incidents alleged between 1999 and 2009 long before he discussed the Covid vaccine lockdowns Great Reset WEF or Ukraine. Brand denies all allegations. standard.co.uk/news/crime/how… independent.co.uk/news/uk/bbc-ru… news.sky.com/story/what-are…

And as predicted, the backpedalling has begun.
I've met Russell Brand twice (I think): Once when I hosted a Guardian Live event about his book in 2014. Another time I interviewed him for The Big Issue when I was guest editing in 2015. He also gave my publishers an endorsement for my book The Establishment, which I was mortified about at the time mostly because I thought it was so OTT it would obviously invite ridicule (which it did). At the time I saw him as a crude means to reach disillusioned younger people with left-wing politics - the sort of people who wouldn't be reached by conventional left-wing journalists and politicians. As a result I was willing to overlook, or just not look into, his history of problematic behaviour / statements, including sexism. I convinced myself that he was on some sort of journey and that was a good thing. That was an obvious misjudgement. I did think he was a bit of a chancer / had a messianic complex, but overlooked that too as a necessary evil in reaching disengaged people. But that was clearly his main driving force and he clearly ended up concluding that right-wing politics was a better vehicle to satisfy it. It's an important lesson in not stupidly engaging clearly problematic figures, however charismatic or however much mass appeal they have, in the service of a cause. What I would say is that right now we should be centring the survivors of a rapist and sexual predator. I personally don't really think those trying to point score have his survivors' interests at heart. I would also argue that those with the big questions to answer are the right-wing figures who continue to stand by him and spread conspiratorial nonsense in his defence. Finally, let's hope that other possible survivors of Russell Brand feel able to come forward.

You could have the IQ of a goldfish, Sarah, and still grasp that consenting to enter a hotel room isn't consenting to sex. Nor does consenting to one sexual act imply consent to another. It's a remarkably simple concept, yet here you are struggling with it.
Russell Brand is a notorious womaniser. Any woman who got close to him knew this. If Russell Brand invites you to his hotel room, he's going to show you his todger and stick it in you. NONE OF THIS EXCUSES ANY RAPING THAT WENT ON. Let's be honest..... if you consented to him showing you his bits after having also consented to going to his hotel room AND you're happily sipping a glass of wine upon hearing that he's now going to prison, you really are a dumb bitch.
