November 29, 20231 yr I see that having incited the hatred, and arguably created the conditions that led to her death, the Fail are now apparently running a podcast to follow the murder trial. It's also called 'Brianna Ghey: The Trial' when she's not on trial at all. Grim. Likewise I've tried to avoid this, I did tho manage to persuade someone at work who is usually quite progressive but was anti the GRA reforms that the Scottish Government tried to bring in last year, to bring them around by explaining that had they existed already they would have prevented the final injustice to Brianna, which is of course being misgendered on her death certificate.
November 29, 20231 yr Author I'm wondering whether all this publicity over Brianna's murder may actually create more sympathy and understanding of trans people ith the general public than the other way round. Out of something so horrible maybe there can be some good.
December 22, 20231 yr Brianna Ghey's killers have been found guilty, the judge has lifted reporting restrictions and they'll be named publically when sentenced on 11th February.
December 22, 20231 yr I'm wondering whether all this publicity over Brianna's murder may actually create more sympathy and understanding of trans people ith the general public than the other way round. Out of something so horrible maybe there can be some good. It hasn't, it's actually invited more transphobia which is absolutely baffling - so so many hateful nasty comments under every post of Brianna's. It is so horrid to see, I can only imagine how her family and friends are feeling :(.
December 22, 20231 yr Author Twitter is an absolute cesspit - I would say that it would be great if people just moved to Threads but Meta has it's own problems (like shadowbanning pro Palestinian content). Just hope offline people are a bit more sympathetic.
January 5, 20241 yr The Telegraph and other media outlets are currently throwing a shit fit about Munroe Bergdorf, a trans woman celebrity, being given a role to work/represent the organisation as a UK Woman's Ambassador. The article and some online commentators have somehow managed to twist the definition of represent (i.e.: appear on behalf of) to suggest that the UN is putting her up as the ONLY POSSIBLE representation (i.e: visual appearance/physical existence) of women and thus erasing cis women or otherwise threatening them. The fact the entire argument is based on what's being kind,a basic misunderstanding, seems to be completely irrelevant. So much for facts being more important than feelings as they love to claim... I mean it totally falls apart when you bring up any other facts about people who represent any kind of law or authority in the country. The King represents the UK on the world stage... but he's not a woman, gasp, so how can he represent women?!
February 18, 20241 yr Author The Telegraph used to be thought of by many as "sensible, reasonable conservatism". There's no doubt it's pure fecking evil nowadays. Don't agree with a single thing it writes. Despite Brianna Ghey's murder, there's utterly hysteria about trans people at the moment. I hadn't heard about the Bergdorf/UN thing but there's loads about an internal John Lewis staff magazine posting trans- inclusive content with wishes of "Go woke Go broke" and they're trying to stop Park Run as they count trans women in the female results section, despite it overwhelmingly being a bit of fun. Grim.

Grim. The Telegraph, of course, also used the name Brianna was given at birth in early reports of her murder. The right-wing press as a whole has been a major contributor to the hatred that was one of the motives for this appalling crime.
February 19, 20241 yr The Telegraph is a joke at the moment. It has taken the hard right talkin poitns = no to workin from home, no to prioritising heslth and mental well-bein over work, no to trans equality, yes to tax cuts, yes to Liz Truss' "growth" shit, no to Richi Rich, and keeps campaigning for all its political points in the form of shitty articles. Horrendous "jorusnlism". It is just trying to lesd the Tories from behind.
February 19, 20241 yr @1759145204936818945 "Disappointed but not surprised" springs to mind. Gross. She could do so much with her wealth, and used to! She supported a research lab at a hospital in Edinburgh for example. To fund things like this is a conscious decision on her part to do bad things and spread hate. She’s been at it since she donated a million to better together back in the indyref (that’s when I cut off any and all engagement with her IP) and she’s continually funded worse and worse things and nastier and nastier people. Buying licensed HP merch, buying her books, streaming the movies, watching the movies when they’re on TV etc etc etc all contribute to her wealth pile, all result in your hard earned cash being used to support shitty people and their shitty causes. Disengage. Buy used copies of movies/games from charity shops. Don’t feed the monster

Grim. I loved Park Runs reaction to this of simply just deleting records in general and doubling down on „this is just for fun, get a grip“ and then undeterred and still outraged the media went to try and find supporters for their cause and everyone they spoke to went „this is just for fun, get a grip“ The public’s reaction is a reminder that It’s always good sometimes to take a step back and remember that the TERFs are just a viciously vocal internet minority with an insignificantly tiny percentage of the population behind them. The absolute majority of people couldn’t give a f*** what someone else does with their own life/body

The only thing is, so many people go to Warnerland etc that buying some pens, etc, would be a drop in the ocean.
February 19, 20241 yr The thing I don't get with JK is why the whole thing is such an obsession for her. It seems like the only thing she ever talks about.
February 19, 20241 yr Author These things can be like a cult - bash a target to make one feel better for their miserable lives. Genuinely happy people don't have to fond a target like that - and not saying that people who aren't happy are prejudiced. And Internet is like lighter fluid to.this way of thinking to make it spread like wildfire. I remember when there was a shooting by a woman in a church In USA (where else)recently, people were spreading rumours that it was a trans assailant with no evidence whatsoever.
February 21, 20241 yr Author Depressing news - transphobic and homophobic intimidation and bullying work in 2024. John Lewis cancel their LGBT+ exhibition after relentless media/social media harassment. And when the monster gets fed it doesn't lay off instead it goes hungry for more. https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/02/21/john...ancelled-trans/
February 23, 20241 yr No one mentioning Liz Truss over in the US, blaming trans activist civil servants for "sabotaging" her far right libertarian late stagw capitalism "growth" "leadership"? Ahw's also acreaming she would vkte for nappy-wearing Trump...
February 23, 20241 yr No one mentioning Liz Truss Because everyone's seeing a mad cow with no relevance, credibility or intellect.
