Skipping Stone and Egale Canada are headed back to court. This time, they’re trying a new tactic to circumnavigate Alberta premier Danielle Smith’s use of the Notwithstanding Clause.

Again, what she's calling "inappropriate" is adolescent kids simply being allowed to choose their own clothes, haircuts and names/versions of their names.

Purely from an informative perspective, this is a terrible section almost designed to confuse. The relatively straightforward SC definition of "biological sex" (i.e. AGAB) is provided, but the BBC then assert a different definition implicitly acknowledged in the last para to conflict w/ the SC one!

Thread. 🧵 (1/x) On the superiority of water as the primary decontaminant for tear gas and peppery spray on skin and eyes. To make it clear to people, this is a thread. Some of you are not clear on the concept. I will reply this with another post and mark it with a number in (x). And so forth. (1)

GOOD NEWS! A UNIVERSAL sarbecovirus vaccine candidate has officially started clinical trials!

Amber Glenn won Olympic gold on Sunday. That same day, she left social media because of death threats. Her offense: she'd told reporters the queer community is going through "a hard time." The headline called it "backlash." www.readtpa.com/p/the-thresh...

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

In 2022, a group of SpaceX employees wrote an open letter asking the co to distance itself from Elon Musk's online behavior. They were fired and the NLRB opened an investigation. Then Musk funded Trump's election win. Now, the Trump NLRB has dismissed the case. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/b...

This is what we're up against. Bangor University, that fine and noble institution where I've spoken twice, nearly 150 years young and still going strong. The sheer hatred they reserve for us shows what could happen after 2029, but also that they're frightened of knowledge and learning.

McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man? LYONS: Yes mam McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

Changes to Scottish Government guidance following two court cases last year has made this much harder. But there is an opportunity to put this right. You have until March 24th to respond to a Scottish Government consultation on schools buildings regulations and to speak up for trans pupils.

And worse, the ban actively forecloses the *actual necessary work* in, like. A billion fucking directions: parental education, child education, law enforcement funding and investigation, AND ALSO ACTUAL PRODUCT SAFETY RESEARCH because the current environment makes that HIGHLY RISKY FOR SITES TO DO

Hello. Former Index On Censorship staffer here. To be very clear, having your request to speak at a society of which you are not a member does not count, in any sense whatsoever, as censorship. nation.cymru/news/uproar-...

I’ve written and edited a lot about free speech since about 2018. And I’ve repeatedly use the example of “someone refusing to invite you to something” as a sort of parody of a free speech grift. Of course it doesn’t count!

Spectacularly poor reporting by BBC. Framing for how they represent Sex Matters and LGB Alliance arguments compared to @transactualuk.bsky.social and @stonewalluk.bsky.social alone is hostile, but it's added to by a embedding offensive narratives about trans individuals. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Former Number 10 comms chief Matthew Doyle – who was recently given a peerage by Keir Starmer – has the whip suspended over his ties to a padeophile. No, not *that* paedophile. A different one. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Peter Mandelson's official role in Gordon Brown's government was actually not that far away from his unauthorised dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. This week's column digs up some inconvenient truths and suggests the problem is much deeper than we're told. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

No, not the paedophile you're thinking of. A different one.

SCOOP: The Department of Health and Human Services has been using the term “sex-rejecting procedures” to describe gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary individuals. The term is not clinical or medical. It comes from a Christian Right group. www.importantcontext.news/p/hhs-is-usi...

New study in Lancet eClinical Medicine (N=20,358) found that mental healthcare utilization initially increases (consistent with assessment requirements under guidelines), then drops substantially, following gender-affirming medical care. #transgender #mentalhealth #medicine

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous. The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.

This is pretty menacing. Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students." When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.

The law on universities and free speech prevents speakers from being *disinvited after they have been invited*. It does not require universities to provide a platform to whoever demands one. Let's not mince words: the threat to cut funding to every university who disagrees with them is fascist.

Every time Elon starts talking about building an army of unstoppable sex robots or a space base in 5 years, it's because he's in a state of blind panic and squirting bullshit the way a squid does ink. The actual story, if journalists didn't suck, would be: what is he panicking about this time.

every single person writing credulously about "elon will put people on the moon" should have to pin this post to their monitor

Huh, Wes Streeting deleted this tweet, wonder why? 🤔 archive.ph/r0nWz

It’s practically a work of art that he thinks we’re all that stupid.
