Why does the BBC still take its lead from hostile right-wing papers? Excellent column by @steverichards14 on the corporation's masochistic tendencies. newstatesman.com/comment/2023/0…

Adolf Hitler declared Magnus Hirschfield "the most dangerous Jew in Germany" because he was a gay man who did extensive medical and social research based around trans people and provided them resources to transition. In case there was any doubt who these people are emulating.

A while back I had a conversation about how for cis queer people, acts of transphobia can feel uniquely paralysing. They feel very close to home. Sometimes they trip the ‘oh god, my family is in danger’ response, which means we often centre our own anger, or freeze up. 1/6

This is a great example of the white heteropatriarchy recognizing the disruptive force of bisexuality and transness. If only these were actually the values guiding our society rather than, well, white heteropatriarchy.

Reminder that the best way to identify biphobes is ask them whether they think biphobia is real. If they don't, congratulations, you have found a biphobe!

Nice to see Twitter is moving from "Wanting to have sex with women is misogynistic" to "Thinking you look nice is internalized male gaze". 13/10 would burn Twitter to the ground and never look back 👍🏽

💙 In the 80s, the London Lesbian & Gay Centre banned bisexual people from their space. Why? Because they aren't lesbian and gay. More than this, they saw bisexual men as predatory straight men

Our streets need to be urgently redesigned to prioritise active travel and mitigate against more frequent extreme weather events. Here’s an example from Cardiff using sustainable drainage systems, new street trees and an improved environment for pedestrians crossing.
