ICYMI: A recent @kenklippenstein.bsky.social article, referencing the FBl's intent to relabel Trans people as Nihilist Violent Extremists (NVE) attached this information collected by "Symbol Intelligence Group LLC" on "Tranarchists aka Trantifa" (Aug 2023)

'centrists', liberals, whatever you want to call them who think that facts will beat out fascism and that science will win the day should be reminded of things like this they all keep saying transphobia is 'reasonable concerns' or 'common sense' while completely ignoring what scientists have to say

From Milton Mayer's "They Thought They Were Free" I first read it in November and I'm rereading it now. It crushing feeling the exact same things as this academic did. It's the same process.

He doesn’t like this picture being posted.

You've just warmly welcomed Serwotka - the husband of the woman who set up a TRANSPHOBIC HATE GROUP ("A Woman's Place") into #YourParty. Meanwhile Corbyn is sharing top billing with a transphobe and anti abortion rights MP. Your Party is dead. What the hell are you both thinking?

Dear God! Linehan was NOT arrested for “gender critical” tweets, or tweets about “trans issues”! He was arrested for tweets calling on people to violently attack trans people in public bathrooms, or (cos he’s a feminist 🙄) if the police won’t help to find the nearest “big strapping bloke” to do it

The only question worth asking Bellamy is "when is pride coming back?" and the only acceptable answer is "right now". Anything else from this clown is a waste of breath.

My last hope for Your Party goes up in smoke as Zarah Sultana ‘welcomes’ Mark Serwotka. His wife founded a Woman’s Place UK, a TERF group constantly trying to rollback trans people’s freedoms and he even wrote this lovely piece calling for ‘respectful discussion’ about our rights: archive.ph/iPb0L

Keir Starmer’s new director of communications isn’t just the founder of Portland Communications – which represented Qatar, Russia and Kazakhstan – he’s also come straight from the board of the anti-trans charity Sex Matters. The government is heading in a dark direction.

Breaking: The UK government run by Keir Starmer has announced in a recent shake up at Number 10, that the new government director of communications is going to be former Sex Matters trustee Tim Allan www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This thread lays out, in the clearest possible terms, just how fucked things in the UK are for trans people.

Please give this more amplification.

Trans Legal Clinic need your support in funding this case. We all have a duty to do something, even sharing this will help, share it other platforms and to allies. If you can please donate to help fund this case, this is the most important part of the restoration of the our rights:

People have embraced authoritarianism in large part because they've been sold individualistic explanations for social problems. If you think people are poor or unhoused because they've made "bad choices," then you'll see appeal in authoritarian leaders who promise to punish those who are "bad."

Totally perverse. The UK ranked as the 4th richest country in the world for private wealth & the 6th for GDP in 2025. There shouldn't be foodbanks in such a wealthy nation. Yet Luke votes for policies that create the need for them & then tries to amp his personal profile on the back their workers

This is genuine top-shelf, professional work. As good as it gets.

41,000 signaturesfor now. There are over 500,000 trans people in the country. Trans people who may have supportive mothers and sisters willing to sign. We have colleagues, friends and neighbours who we should ask to sign. Can we get this to 100k? 200k? Are you doing your part to make it happen?

THREAD: This also means that each UK parliamentary constituency includes, on average more than 1,000 trans voters. This means that, on the 2024 vote, there are 27 constituencies where the majority is less than the likely number of trans voters, including Wes Streeting’s. But… 1/5

A short thread of my essays on Medium - mostly debunking anti-trans disinformation and other bigotry 1) "Sex-based rights" are contradictory nonsense The term is a dog-whistle slogan, coined just to exclude trans people, with multiple meanings — none of which make sense medium.com/@davidallsop...

Every single mainstream media outlet LIED and LIED and LIED about almost every aspect of the Marks & Spencer non-story. Organised transphobia is basically a lie machine, it cannot engage in its campaign against trans people’s lives without systematic dishonesty.

ASBOs are history. Get to know this case law: Norfolk v DPP [2010] - the court held you cannot lawfully criminalise a person’s lawful conduct to appease others’ intolerance. Being trans is in no way a crime or anti-social. The police won’t fuck with this, trust us.

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time. it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.

Honestly, the main thing that has convinced me to start going for citizenship is that I'm getting ever more concerned that I might have to flee this country and it would be nice to be able to come back if it gets better. All the more reason shit like this is just downright insulting.

Is anyone keeping track of writer's withdrawing from the Polari Prize (because they're platforming transphobia)? So far I've seen statements from Jason Okundaye, Sacha Coward, Amy Twigg, Mae Diansangu and Ciara Maguire, all from the First Book Prize longlist.

Thinking about the Holocaust scholar who was sued and silenced by Rowling because she said Rowling was spreading Holocaust denialism (because she objectively was).

You make it easy for me to vote for both of you, @kathrynbristow.uk and @ekuabo88.bsky.social Your answers showed your conviction and experience and gave me confidence you will be great as Equality and Diversity coordinators, helping us all come together for a better, stronger party!

Today's LGBTQIA greens hustings made it crystal clear why my vote goes to @zackpolanski.bsky.social Adrian and Ellie have platitudes but no convictions to address the hate we are facing. We don't need another decade of "Real Politik" where we are afraid to make changes this world needs.

Dr. Swaab a 🌎 renowned neuroscientist (written over 540 papers)makes it clear how sexual orientation & gender identity is already installed in our brains before birth & thus why it is short-sighted to discriminate or judge these aspects of human diversity youtu.be/mOK8fw4tsO8

www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/sent... Looks like the EHRC is going to us an unknown (and therefore un-trusted) system to analyze our responses. I wonder therefore how it can endure trust in the process

THREAD: 1. In May I published my peer-reviewed research into the effects of the Starmer-Streeting puberty-blocker ban. TLDR; lots of children have already been harmed. TW; this is a hard read. There is a term for adult men who deliberately harm children…

rotating this and your post around in my head forever

Two petitions one supporting the total elimination of trans people, the other signed by cis women opposing transphobia No 1. took SIX YEARS to get 39,500 signatures. No 2. took just 10 weeks to get 40,000 signatures Now tell me transphobia is more popular than trans people’s human rights.
