Is there a more important issue for the Left today than child welfare, in all of its multivalent dimensions and complexities? I've always been immensely proud of the way that feminism has placed children at the heart of its advocacy.

Yep.

Of course, self-admitted fascist though she is, *some* prominent transphobes will even post pics of themselves wearing her t-shirts. Because presumably racism and homophobia are venial sins compared to the Universal Threat posed by the Trans Peril™.

Telling women what they can or cannot wear is an odd way to "support women's rights." Been there, done that. It sucked. Stop it, and let women choose for themselves.

Wishing all the homophobes and transphobes a super uncomfortable month! Happy Pride!

Can't be said too often.

Retweeting this in support of the Edinburgh Zoo, who are facing an onslaught from bigots for their support for LGBTQ+ folk. Their reasoned and compassionate response to "Barry" says it all: "We want to ensure we are creating a nature community where everyone is welcome."

A statement by the SL Left Unity group on current events in the Gaza Strip, Israel, and the West Bank.

How many more times will JK Rowling and her followers find themselves fighting on the same side as far-right bully boys before the penny drops?
