LGBT+ folks have been saying for years that the gender critical movement has not only been captured by the far-right, it *is* now inarguably far-right. Once one minority has been effectively dehumanised, it’s inevitable others will be too. I don’t know why you seem surprised.
The movement I spend 8 years of my life helping to buid got captured by the far right. And I'm not bitter, I'm pissed off. And calling pissed off women 'bitter' is misogyny.

I have never seen a politician more nakedly abandoning his principles to do corporate propaganda. And I write about propaganda for a living. What is wrong with you?

Please listen to this.
I suggest that people who are obviously uneducated about LGBT+ history watch this and perhaps they might learn something. People like @jk_rowling, @glinner, and the overwhelmingly straight @AllianceLGB.

You can see the exact moment this guy realises he’s got absolutely no answer to what Owen is saying. The exact second.
Who is driving antisemitism most? It's Israeli leaders and cheerleaders. This is the obvious truth.

Yesterday, I was barred from entering the West Bank by Israeli officials, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation. What's happening here in Palestine is unjust. We've just witnessed what Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and many others have called a genocide unfold in Gaza. We came here to show the world, and to show solidarity with the Palestinian people. The Israeli government didn't allow that.

I feel like Jared Kushner being at the center of the plot that ultimately led to an American journalist being dismembered via bone saw while he was still alive should be a much bigger deal than our billionaire owned news media is making of it.

It’s deeply disrespectful to us Brazilians, who spent 20 days mobilizing across the country, standing up to Big Tech and imperialist forces, to credit our victory as a nation to an American billionaire who said absolutely nothing about our elections. Delete this shit, @Variety.

This is why your party is full of racists @Nigel_Farage You don’t have the guts to call out racist language You faff around with semantics instead of answering the question You knew very well what the phrase infers No wonder you’re tanking in the polls The grift is over.

“If you cut taxes for the rich, they’ll create jobs.”🤡
Microsoft just made $133.7 BILLION in net income last year. Today they announced they are getting rid of 60,000 workers. Fuck these companies man.

Today marks 100 days since Andy Burnham became Prime Minister. He could have stopped arms sales to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel on day one. He chose not to. For 100 days, he has willingly continued selling UK arms that enable the genocide of the Palestinian people. 100 days of personal complicity. Stop ALL arms sales to Israel NOW.

The public seem to be totally behind this. The right wing Media hate it, not because they actually hate it, but they because they have to always attack the left. In other words, they never put the actual good of the country first.

This Tufton Street front is campaigning to preserve gay conversion therapy. Recognising that they are wrong ‘uns who have done nothing for gay people and only exist to campaign against trans people really isn’t rocket science.

its actually quite refreshing to have a PM whose embarrassing history involves raising money for charity, rather than burning £50 notes in front of homeless people and shagging pigs...
Andy Burnham's 'Strictly' dance video, found by #BBCBreakfast The PM said on TV show 'Gogglebox' for Stand Up To Cancer he has a "clang of anxiety" when discussing dancing - after taking part in a charity event for the Rob Burrow centre for MND bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm3w…

Right-wingers are such bad losers. They honestly believe they have some sort of divine right to spread bigotry and hatred and coin in as much money as they possibly can.

J.K. Rowling, a billionaire funding lawsuits against trans inclusion, says transgender activism is elitist. Apparently, using a public bathroom is a privilege, but bankrolling legal battles against marginalized people is grassroots activism.
