THIS Reveals the Dark Heart of Transphobia

Tom Nicholas takes on JK Rowling—and he’s not amused. A court in England ruled that “birth sex” is decisive in various matters, and Rowling couldn’t resist posting a disgusting tweet.

Tom gives us some insight into the topic.

One commentary under the video reads: “I keep thinking about that time Lindsay Ellis said ‘All my heroes are dead and my enemies are in power’. At this point, I’m rooting for the black mould.”

Treason Fest 2023 Part 1 – On the Occasion of the Coronation of Charles III.

With the coronation of Charles III Tom Nicholas celebrates in the only way he knows how: by creating a mini-series of videos telling the stories of various rebels, radicals and republicans throughout the centuries who have tried (with varying degrees of success) to consign the British crown to history. He calls it “Treason Fest 2023”.

In this first episode we’re looking at the one time that Britain has successfully ridded itself of its royal family. Buckle-up for the story of Charles I, Oliver Cromwell and the English Revolution.
