Article in the Daily Mail.

Apparently there's a transman boxer. Let's see what happens when he gets a pasting.

If the boxer is Thomas Page McBee, being the first transgender man to box at Madison Square Garden was written about in Amateur, published in 2018. I've a feeling that saying this won't necessarily be popular, but I've read both McBee's books (Man Alive and Amateur) and thought they were really insightful about abuse, violence, masculinity and boxing.

I’m sure it’s been discussed already and I’m sure you’re all sick of me repeating things but stonewall was NOT STARTED BY TRANS PEOPLE.

It is homophobic bullshit made up by the trans lot. Marsha P Johnson, the trans woman who apparently threw the first brick at stonewall, was a MAN. A man who liked to dress in feminine clothes. Marsha used she/her pronouns in the way drag queens do - this was the 1960 ffs. It was when he was in character, when dolled up as his alter ego. Pronouns weren’t even used in the way they are today so it’s applying modern language and politics on a time where it was gays, lesbians and bi’s doing the heavy lifting, joined by cross dressers, drag queens and maybe one or two people who genuinely believed they were trans, but it was “60s trans” so to speak, so they weren’t forcing it on anyone else - they were just doing their thing in silence minding their own business.

Marsha’s friend have said THEMSELVES in a documentary about him that he was a man who liked to experiment with feminine clothing and make up. But still, even when the friends of Marsha - who I’m sure still miss and love him this day - say HE was a MAN, the tras take the truth and twist it to fit their “movement”. It’s genuinely disgusting. It’s homophobic, it’s erasing the truth, it’s screwing LGB history (the little that we do have out there) and it does everything they claim to hate.

When you tell them this truth they cry transphobia - obviously, what else would they do. But poor fucking Masha rolling in his fucking grave. And also MASHA DIDNT THROW THE FIRST BRICK, he arrived after that part of the riot! His friends have said this too!

They also use the fact Marsha was black for points, as if they aren’t erasing him being a gay black man (who’s been an icon to the LGB community). They are using his colour for clout and as a scapegoat. They aren’t honouring him! It isn’t about Marsha at all, it’s all about THEM but they are using him to say “see,we aren’t self obsessed “folx” with an ulterior motive!
Thanks. I couldn't remember the details, but as soon as I saw it I knew it wasn't factual, from information here.

Is the bbc garden rescue gardener Lee Burkhill (also garden ninja on YouTube) a woman on testosterone?

Saw what I think was a trans man out tonight. Wasn’t really sure because she looked very female but had short multicoloured hair and the hairiest legs I’ve ever seen on a woman. Unfortunately she was very petite and probably under 5 feet tall. Just… why?
It's completely normal for women to have hairy legs though.

Your daughter is an asshole. Surely you can cancel your proxy vote??
Changing from a proxy vote to a postal vote
Proxy voters who have a proxy vote for a definite or indefinite period may change their voting option from proxy to postal at any time and up until 5pm, 11 working days before a poll to be effective at that poll.4 Applications to change the method of voting from proxy to postal must be made by submitting an application to vote by post. If the postal vote application is determined and approved, you must amend the record accordingly.
Probably too late if you live abroad though. The paperwork would have to get from the UK and back again!

Is he playing a trans character or is it another case of a male taking a female part?
I'm not sure but the article I read was quoting the female director as saying it was going to be the gayest Star Wars yet. I don't think anyone has a problem with anyone being gay but I think discussion was suggesting that it was only done for the sake of it rather than it actually pertaining to the story. Also that the female director was previously only known for being Harvey Weinstein's assistant...not sure how true that is though but it sounds bizarre.

I have just read this article about a man punching a woman to the ground in Brooklyn, NY. Except it doesn't appear to be a woman that was punched because it looks like a wig falls off when they hit the ground and there's obviously been some prior interaction leading up to the punch. I'm not advocating violence but this just seems very odd, and these days the way things are reported you can never be too sure. It'll be interesting to see when the full story comes out.
The poster "sami" loves a bit of drama, so not sure how reliable the information is, but apparently it happened at Brooklyn Pride.


Edited to add:
I'm not condoning violence, but I have questions.
Why was this being filmed? What happened before this clip?
Why does JK have a large stain on his jacket? Has something been thrown at him?
Why is there another person on the ground before the incident?

Does anyone here have Instagram? I keep seeing recommended 'threads' posts (as in, Facebook/Instagram's version of Twitter), and almost always every recommended 'random' post is about trans and TRAs crying transphobia, you know those type of posters who write as though they are intellectuals? I don't search for trans stuff on Facebook or Instagram so technically the algorithm shouldn't be disproportionately pushing those suggestions at me... Just wondered if Meta/Facebook/Instagram/threads is deliberately pushing trans posts with often scathing attacks on women and 'cis' (🤢 hate that term) people, or, if it's just that the type of people who post on Threads are of the TRA brigade echo chamber. It seems like 90% of the recommended threads posts i see in my Facebook or Instagram feed are trans related. I don't post on threads so it's not like i am engaging with those buzzwords.

Just feels suspicious.
I have noticed this!
