JR - do you accept that calling DU a man, that not a woman is likely to cause immense distress
SP - when I'm in the situation, feeling intimidated and embarrassed, I needed to explain that he was a man
JR - did not answer my question, is it offensive
SP - it's the truth
The kind and tolerant left. Liverpool Labour party conference 2023.
You didn't notice the abuse that women face for attempting to define themselves separate from men?
Your blinded by your own ego it's time to open your eyes.

Why did Ivor Caplin think it was acceptable to solicit sex on his 'professional' X account. Why didn't his Labour colleagues distance themselves from him after seeing the porn content he was retweeting?
Have we been slowly groomed by gay male culture to accept the rape and sexualisation of boys by men?
Besides from lowering the age of consent what did the male age of consent from 18 to 16 what did the charity actually achieve for gay rights?

🚨 NEW: AI will be fed through cameras nationwide to spot potholes that need fixing under Keir Starmer’s plan today to ‘unleash’ it across the UK

Remember the heroic Suffragettes!
They were demonised like refugees, trans people & climate activists are demonised today
All will be vindicated by history
No were not. Carrying a knife carries a potential 5 year sentence. If I maced a potential rapist I would face charges. We are supposed to trust the law. Get attacked then allow the law to take its course. One in which men who kill can face as little as 18 months in prison.
Whatever you think of @Cobratate, he appeals to a lot of people, and he’s a vessel for a lot of ideas that cannot be repressed and need to be discussed.

My Henry vacuum cleaner has passed away 😭
I've had that little red guy for so many years, he's delt with all sorts and he's been an absolute champ about it. I shall miss you little fella. Travel well.

A contestant on Ru Paul’s Drag Race mocks disabled people, sexualising those dependent on braces.
A sackable offence in most circumstances.
But clapped and cheered here, ‘cause Drag. 🤷🏻♀️
BREAKING: Paedophile Jac Davies, who was linked to the indecent images investigation into disgraced BBC presenter Huw Edwards, has been spared jail at Leeds Magistrates’ Court after his defence team argued magistrates should consider “parity” with the broadcaster’s suspended sentence.
it’ll be ugly, but female. :)
yours, however, is a poor imitation of drag queen’s idea of what a woman looks like. which is, essentially, what you are. and all you’ll ever be. doesn’t matter what a piece of paper from the government says, or what the closeted gay man paying for your services tonight tells you.
your mother knows. your father knows (if he’s around). your community knows. everyone you ever meet will know. and deep down, you know too.
A message to the old school ultras, the ultras who were there at the start.
Which wasn't even the start, which you would acknowledge if you had any credibility. I was a newbie surrounded by many old hands who had been at this for years.

Thank you to the many people who have been in touch with me about the Assisted Dying Bill.
After long and careful consideration, I have decided to vote in favour of it tomorrow.
I set my reasons out in the letter below.
My letter to constituents on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. I will be voting in favour and wanted to share my reasons why.
If you are unable to access a photographed letter please email me at sarah.sackman.mp@parliament.uk to be sent a copy.
Despite supporting the principle of assisted dying long before I became an MP, I can’t support today’s bill.
It’s rightly a free vote and a matter of conscience for MPs, but the system cannot yet manage the complexity proposed and the bill is being rushed.

I have released a statement, ahead of the important vote on assisted dying this Friday, to explain why I will be voting against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.
Full statement here: marshadecordova.laboursites.…
After a period of considerable reflection during which I heard from constituents, campaigners and organisations, I will be voting against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill tomorrow.

After carefully scrutinising the Bill and listening to a range of perspectives from both sides of the debate, I have decided to vote against it on Friday.

Male police officer who pretends to be a woman and s*xually assaulted cops is now the women’s representative on the police force.
What a time to be alive
Nearly 1 million women in the UK are currently prevented from escaping dangerous partners because of economic abuse, according to @RespectUK
What would happen if one of these women received a diagnosis of a terminal illness?
It seems obscene that MP's are considering an assisted suicide bill with minimal safeguards or appreciation of the dynamics of coercive control. #AssistedDyingBill
I have decided to vote against the assisted dying/suicide Bill on Friday.
Evidence from other countries shows that giving this personal choice to a small group of people places a much larger group of vulnerable people in harm’s way.
I cannot support that.

John Oliver explains how Democrats can respond to the trans issue.
All they need to do is tell people there's no evidence that trans girls are at an unfair advantage or pose a threat to safety in athletic competition.
As a proud Terf myself, this take is dumb. Women are gonna die from pregnancies joanne. That's more important than my beef with cross dressers. I'm very sad it's not more important for you and your ilk.

There is nothing green about plastering the arable farm land with solar panels which will make the soil too toxic to grown food.

"In Islam that is HARAM. Clear cut haram .. He should stop being called the 'Muslim Mayor'."
Rob & Roshan express outrage after London mayor Sadiq Khan was filmed honouring a Hindu idol at a recent Diwali festival.
Islam strictly forbids offerings to "Hindu gods" as this conflicts with the key principle of Tawhid.

This video I just found on my hard drive looking for memes. It's some classic 2020 hate speech, though sadly not a meme I thought you would appreciate this.
Star forts. A forgotten wonder of the world. They're all over the world. Some are entire cities. The lowlands of Europe are filled with them. Did you know the statue of Liberty sits atop one? The most beautiful thing humans have ever built - but totally forgotten about in the collective consciousness theatlantic.com/photo/2023/1…
