I think the best way to sum up Gender Critical is "pointlessly cruel"
TIL that if your dog has managed to purloin 500g of butter and you take it out the next morning you will need surgical gloves and a welding mask to deal with the mess. It was like dealing with a bomb, Sorry neighbours I did my best to clean it up, I really did.

The CEO of South West Water received a salary of £456,000 last year and bonuses, incentives & benefits of over £1ml.
This is what South West Water pumped into the Cornwall coastline on the 1st November last year.

Shocked to hear Labour call for energy bills to be frozen at existing levels.
We are being ripped off. Energy bills must come down.

Wholesale prices of UK gas are collapsing before our eyes.
The price of gas has just fallen to its lowest level for 534 days.
Ofgem must cut bills now. End the rip off.
I feel so threatened

Bigots throughout history have sought to use terrible crimes committed by individuals to discriminate against minorities.
Anti-migrant and anti-trans campaigners are doing the same today.
That's the truth.
And no, you won't get me fired for speaking the truth.

Brianna Ghey was an incredible young woman who spread joy, love and laughter to those around her.
She was killed because she wanted to be herself.
My thoughts are with Brianna's family and the trans community fighting for safety, dignity and liberation.

If you ever needed confirmation that white conservatives use "woke" to say "Black" (or more precisely, "nigger"), see this woman froth in rage that someone's making bandages for, ahem, woke skin. https://twitter.com/randysharpswife/status/1618366220876779520

This piece by @NJ_Timothy represents the sort of arguments that were heard from opponents of the ECHR at the @durhamunion on Friday. Happily, the students saw through the rhetoric and recognised the damage that would be caused by leaving. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/02/12/britain-cannot-protect-borders-within-echr-must-leave/

The wizard game discourse is highlighting how rightful wary marginalised people are about performative allies and how much danger their precarious support places trans people in.
'I'll join people who want you dead if you talk to me the wrong way' is 100% abuser talk.

In fact quite a few of these ‘culture war’ debates are fascists gauging how many people will wilfully ignore marginalised people’s testimony on their own harm.
It is also about getting your assent that they will be forgiven/protected for what comes next.

when you stare into the abyss and the abyss stares back at you because the abyss has to poop
At your point of need there is nobody who needs it more.

This will come as no surprise, but last night's violent far right protests in Knowsley, U.K. were promoted freely on social media.
Facebook has groups like 'Hotels Housing Illegals' and Twitter has accounts like Yorkshire Rose(Get The Migrants Out).
All of these groups were promoting violent disorder and hate speech last night, and are celebrating violent disorder and hate speech this morning, with no consequence.
There are laws against this.
But where is the accountability?
This is an analysis that doesn't love either imperialism. Worth a watch.
