Since I just had someone else call me the f-slur, I had another quick look at the friendly and welcoming space. xitter.cf/search?q=faggot&src=ty…

DHS raiding a member of congress's home to search for immigration paperwork filled out decades ago by her now-deceased father really checks all the fascist police state boxes.
@Jonathan_Hinder I just saw one of your anti-trans posts, claiming that women are saying no and that’s why we should be anti-trans. In fact, all the evidence and polling shows that women are the most supportive of trans rights and straight white, right wing men are least
You don’t understand this subject and you’re on the wrong side of it. Eventually this will become clear to you, because when a group like this is put under this much pressure they have no alternative but to organize. That’s what gay people did in the eighties.
@British_Airways Hey - there are some people who you deplaned in Reykjavik who are having a really awful time. Apparently you guys sent them a bunch of ways to book a hotel overnight in London, but of course they're in Iceland. Can you look into it?

Hope she gets taken to the fucking cleaners. For someone who said she doesn't think trans people deserves human rights protections is very clear what her comments were implying.

If you want to know why visitors to San Francisco think the city is awful when the vast, vast, vast majority of people who live here just don't (and where the metrics would indicate it isn't) then this might help: dashful.com

There are people here that I have respected for decades now trotting out rhetoric on some issues that wouldn’t be out of place at a MAGA rally.

Glinner abuses trans people and women online. Toby Young attends eugenics conferences attended by Nazis and white supremacists. I think we can see who Badenoch is can’t we?

That some of you haven’t even noticed that great swathes of your queer and non-white peers have disappeared doesn’t exactly fill me with hope for the next IRL far right crackdown on minority communities.
I pop in here every so often and … I mean, you guys here can feel the Overton window you’re operating in getting more and more right wing, right? You’re aware that’s happening?
And some of you, completely seriously, did you really not notice that some of your peers were experiencing such a horrific time here that they were forced to leave? Are you just here because it didn’t affect you personally? And you’re okay with that?

Young adults really, REALLY dislike Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
$WBD is obviously counting on older bigots to watch the unwanted new show.

Most lesbian & gay people are trans allies because we recognise the ways in which trans people are persecuted from our own experiences. We know the people holding transphobic views are also homophobic. We know if we let them get away with this we’ll be next.
We see who they are.

I see that the nationwide backlash of the @EHRC anti trans anti rights guidance is being well received by the anti trans mob.
The usual suspects foaming at the mouth, screaming that orgs are breaking the law for stating they won’t implement changes and running to far right media
