Miriam Margolyes on The Graham Norton Show.

Miriam: "You know this thing about trans? Now all these people will always say 'we mustn't talk about trans', well fuck that. I'm gonna talk about it." (Audience laughter)

"I was very keen on grammar and so when people started talking about pronouns and that they wanted to use 'them' and not 'he/she', I thought 'what the fuck are you talking about?' It is clear, it's grammar. It's the structure of language.

"But I met a wonderful actress in Australia, Zoe Terakes, do you know who I mean? She's a brilliant actress and she's trans and I - she had a discussion with me about it and she said 'what does it matter to you? If you can make somebody happy by calling them 'they' instead of 'he' or 'she', why not do it?

"And I thought 'that's right.' It doesn't matter about grammar." (Applause) "if you can make someone happy and give them a sense of themselves then do it."

Boy George, sitting beside her: "Absolutely."

Miriam: "And so, I'm now somebody who uses they and all the rest of it. Whatever they want me to say, I'll say it."

Terfs shouldn’t be called terfs because it stands for Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists but to be a true feminist you have to include ALL women. Trans women. Poc women. Gay women. All women. And excluding any of these types of women makes you anti feminist and a bigot. If feminists really want to change the world and make it easier for women and femme presenting people then they have to do it for ALL women and femme presenting people. You can’t pick and choose when it comes to basic human rights.

Im glad Matt Hancock didn’t win I’m A Celebrity but it’s shocking he even made it that far at all. He’s a bad fucking person. I can’t remember who but someone said they find it difficult to separate him as a person and him as a politician. There is no difference. He is both a politician and a person and in both aspect he’s bad. He’s a cunt and doesn’t deserve the respect he’ll gain from being on the show. Showing he’s more than just a politician doesn’t take away from all the shit he’s done while being a politician.

We’re in the new year and Palestinians are still being slaughtered by the IOF and “Israel” as if they’re not even human. It’s estimated that around 30,000 Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip have been martyred, and this number is only going to grow exponentially now. Now that it’s been over 80 days since the genocide began, starvation, dehydration and sickness from a lack of resources, lack of hygiene and cramped living conditions have become a real issue alongside the constant bombing and attacking from “Israel”.

It’s time for a ceasefire.

Free Palestine.

If you’ve got even a drop of empathy and love for a fellow human, you need to support Palestine. There is a genocide happening right now against all Palestinians in Israel, adult and child, sick and well, evacuating or not. The Israeli government wants all Palestinians dead and they’re not being subtle about it
