this is why the ruling class don’t want the humanities. when you study history, literature, or media (etc) you immediately see how language distorts reality; how the press are racist; how historical context helps see the present clearly.

Wes Streeting is the absolute worst. If he permanently bans puberty blockers (ONLY for trans kids) he will have blood on his hands. Do any gays here know him? Does he have queer friends? Does he understand the extent of his hideous views?

News on Victoria Atkins' emergency puberty blockers ban. Wes Streeting's position is that, subject to the outcome of the court proceedings and consultation, he will renew it and convert it into a permanent ban.

For the past two years, I co-supervised Gboyega’s PhD. Because he was always “decent”, it was some of the most fulfilling work I’ve ever done with a student. He was always so open and enthused. He’d send us work that was so polished and precise…
