Every time I take my head out of the sand and try and face the news I see something so monumentally fucking stupid I want to bash my own head in

Voila Richard Madeley telling someone who's studied EU law that what people THINK is more important than facts x.com/femi_sorry/sta…

The fact that a publication that is respected around the world now thinks it's acceptable — in any context — to ask if members of a minority should be sterilised reveals how low public discourse has sunk in the UK and the unprecedented atmosphere of hostility towards trans people

JK Rowling's new book's about a 'transvestite serial killer'

Meanwhile over in the real world the number of trans people killed in Brazil has risen by 70% this past year, young trans women are left to burn in cars and men who kill us (for being trans) are pardoned and sent home

Trying my best to be calm here but I'm not carrying an ID card that tells people what type of genitals I have. Nor will I be submitting to physical checks. So if me using the ladies is suddenly going to become an issue I'll just move to a country that hasn't lost its fucking mind

Why are they even looking for a 'gay gene'? Why don't they go and investigate people are who really unpleasant to LGBT people and find out what their fucking problem is

Lots of prominent gender critical types are right now desperately trying to claim there was no transphobic motive in Brianna’s awful murder. The GCs are too craven & cowardly to acknowledge that they’ve created an atmosphere of hate which has contributed to this ghastly crime.

Right, we've got to clear up all this nonsense about 'women' versus 'trans people'. A loud and obsessive minority of people are claiming to speak for all women so please retweet if you're a woman who supports trans rights 100% and see no conflict between trans rights and feminism

If you're a woman who isn't trans but who supports my work to make sex work safer, end violence against women and raise awareness about mental health and inequality please do let me know so that I can pass it on to the sad people on here telling me I don't deserve to be in Vogue.

is trending and it feels like a good time to point out that numerous studies around the world reveal that 30-50% of trans kids have attempted suicide

I can tell you from my experience that the way we choose to discuss trans people in public has a real impact

I was going to speak to LBC about the JK Rowling story but I've just called them back to cancel

I really can't be bothered to have a discussion about whether or not it's OK for people to be rude about people like me. I'm just so tired of it.

Having a glass of champagne instead

Is it just me or is anyone else spending huge portions of their day just in utter disbelief that so many people could be acting like such arseholes?

Yes, Emma Thompson flies. So do I sometimes. I take taxis too.

We also want to combat climate change

If you think the only people who are 'pure' enough to say they want to combat climate change are people who've never flown or travelled by car, the problem will never be solved

You have no idea how hard it was to keep my mouth shut about this...

I'm working with a creative dream team to develop What It Feels Like for a Girl as an 8-part series for the BBC and I cannot wait for you to see what we're cooking up!

Paris Lees 2 Trans students went to the same school, Brianna Ghey was murdered by 2 students out of my daughters class. The other was bullied by staff at the school and tried to commit suicide in school. Here is their actual account. Prosecuting Counsel said Brianna was bullied at school.

Thank you to all the people who've taken time out of their happy and meaningful lives to tell me I'm not a real woman and don't deserve to be in Vogue, the thing is I look amazing and it's already gone to press so there's nothing you can do about it, but do have a lovely weekend!

Look how far we've come. It's insane that I could be in Vogue. A trans kid from a council estate. People at school told me I'd never be a girl, would never be pretty enough, would never be accepted WELL HERE I AM BEING CELEBRATED AS A WOMAN – IN VOGUE FFS!
