How interesting - is Helen Lewis going to write another chin stroking op-ed about how the gender critical movement ‘explores legitimate concerns about women’s sexed based rights’? Maybe she could profile these ‘concerned citizens’??

These changes to Article 8 in particular feel dangerous given how the UK courts are currently interpreting trans rights IANAL etc so do wait for more qualified opinions, but I'm worried

Bathroom bans are unworkable in practice. When pushed, supporters admit they expect trans people to break their laws. Creating laws trans people have no choice but to break isn't an accident. The intent is punishment of the ones they hate. The intent is driving trans people out of public life

an abusive, stalking, predatory man assaulted a teenage girl, smashed her phone, and then spent days bragging his crimes on his social media. high court judge: you sir, are acquitted. -- never seen a clearer example that trans women are women tbh.

We're never going to be respectable or legitimate in the eyes of a cis society hell-bent on enshrining the reproductive imperative above all. High time we stop trying to prove "we've always been here" and focused on emphasizing that we're not going anywhere.

I'm Jewish. I condemn genocide. I condemn the Labour Governments role in the Genocide. The Prime Minister repeatedly conflating criticism of the Israeli Governments genocide and actual antisemitism is disgusting - and makes so many of us as Jewish people feel less safe.

Every year, whilst at the Hay Festival, I meet people who think they are at the Hay Festival but are actually at this event, which coincidentally is in the same town at the same time. I often fondly remember Matt Hancock trying to blag his way into a Hay evening event, only to discover this.

It's easy to lose the substantive win here in the Government's transphobic framing. Last summer, we expected the Code to be forced through without scrutiny. Instead, they have had to amend it and recognise they got their legal analysis wrong. It was our community's hard work that achieved this.

Warehouses on fire, Molotov thrown at Sam Altman’s house, a data center supporting politician’s home shot at — attacks on the ruling class have begun. Every attacker will now be deemed a terrorist, that’s inevitable. But what the ruling class doesn’t want you to know is they made this inevitable.

People have reached a breaking point. American consumer sentiment is terrible, registering at the lowest level ever recorded this week. Gas prices just jumped more in March than they have in any month...

I think I might start noting down every time a cis politics nerd complains about Eleanora from Stats4Lefties and uses her pronouns rather than saying "this person". I have not heard a solitary "she" from any of them in all the pixels that have been spilled enumerating her flaws

Honestly, that "guarantee" in the 2014 legal-opinion has always been over-reported and under-enforced, but a lot of Western media does not care to investigate the realities or nuances of what life is like for queer people in the Third World. C'est la vie.

Even when they'd succeeded in having no trans women at the Olympics, they invented trans women to persecute. Remember that.

We were trapped, alright. Look at us. Aren't we idiots. Aren't we just such fucking idiots. Doesn't it make you laugh. Doesn't it make you laugh until your teeth vibrate and your jaw aches and your chest hurts so much you don't think you'll be able to draw another breath.

The trap was always for us. Letting us name ourselves, it was just to make us think we could show our faces, just to make us think we could be accepted, before we realised too late that they did it to traumatise us for their entertainment and all we did was irrevocably mark ourselves as targets.

4 July 2024: Labour win a majority with only 1/3 of the vote. How? Because first past the post (FPTP) is used. Labour came first in hundreds of races across the country, which cumulatively added up to a huge majority, even though most people did not vote Labour. But what if this wasn't the case?
