wes streeting: all these dirty trans youth must secretly be autistic we must protect them from existing while trans! also wes streeting: all these dirty autistics are overdiagnosed and we must protect them from existing while autistic!

it would be laughable if it wasn’t so humiliating and cruel to have to constantly prove you have an invisible condition in general life anyway without the fucking health secretary telling you you’re faking it too

sat here raging about all the times I’ve been fobbed off by mental health services, called back four weeks after the crisis event, told that I couldn’t see a psychiatrist because I hadn’t tried to end myself, years of meds, late diagnosis of AuDHD and Streeting thinks there’s an overdiagnosis?

"overdiagnosis" is when you get referred to the local nhs adult neurodevelopmental service in 2021 and the only time they've ever contacted you in the intervening 5 years is when i emailed during a crisis to ask if i had been abandoned and they responded to say i'm still on the list

For a second I thought this was Onion headline

Shall we examine the barriers to work? Shall we talk about the impact of covid, austerity and late stage capitalism on mental health? Shall we talk about the impact of societal hostility on minorities? What about the pitiful state of mental health research and services?? Nah, social media mate.

wes streeting is already quite literally a mass murderer, but he will never be pleased until every minority is ground into paste to feed his lobbyist mates bank balances

remind me at the weekend to go through my bsky/yt/twitch follows to propagate out all the freshly blocked vtubers who've defending bigotry on twitter

good think i checked my work emails before leaving cause oof ouch its all derailed for the day

If Zentreya is not a nazi, then she's someone that thinks there's nothing wrong about dressing up as a nazi and will run after you spewing right-wing buzzwords if you tell her otherwise Infer from that what you will

Extremely unsurprised to find Zentreya defenders also defending Silvervale.

With the whole nazi zentreya thing i went digging and found this . One ALA member from 2018 wearing the eagle on the hat with the circle censored out. Zentreya wearing a skull with a perfect circle around the skull with the red arm band. They knew what they were doing.

Zentreya has ALWAYS just done whatever will get her viewers. With the rise of the right she has returned to her old Nazi inspired iconography she used YEARS ago. And when called out she flips her shit and unironically uses the terms "woke ideology" and called people snowflakes.

So I was checking the bad place to see if I had DMs or whatever, and I happened upon this thread. I think it's the most comprehensive analysis of the issue here. TL;DR don't ignore historical context.

So apparently Zentreya is going to scrap or heavily rework her model, which I am happy with. However I can’t say I’m happy with how she’s acting like she’s a victim of unfair bullying, this ‘I’m being kicked while I’m down’ bullshit only serves to, in my eyes, show me how painfully deaf Zen is-

Look, I get she was angry but Zentreya ranting about "woke snowflakes" and "bluesky trying to cancel her", then saying she's "non-political" and "everyone is welcome"... and then her apology for "her language" without specifying or clarifying exactly what that language was? SO MANY RED FLAGS

The way Zentreya is STILL arguing with people on Twitter who have way less of a following than her and accusing them of labeling her a Nazi. Bro, no one thinks you’re actually a Nazi, we’re just saying your vtuber’s uniform LOOKS like a nazi uniform. That’s NOT the same as calling you one.

Do I think Zen is a Nazi? Unlikely. I do think she's ignorant, incapable of reading the room, trying to make Nazi aesthetics cool, and claims inability to understand political issues. This means that should actual Nazis encroach in her community, she'll be unable to recognize it, and become unsafe.

Now Zentreya is doing the whole “why can’t we all just get along?” shit. No, I will not get along with your Nazi fans. Your community is a Nazi bar.

Zentreya called people who were upset with the outfits "snowflakes" and shit. I'm sorry, but is that not a red flag? Why are you people misrepresenting the situation? I don't care how much you like someone, this parasocial shit is getting irritating.

fuck every single fucking cunt streamer defending zentreya despite the "woke ideology" bullshit and the army of literal nazis in vtubing that statement woke up. unredeemable fascist fucking industry who see a dog whistle and all start barking and going feral at every minority they can find

koefficient jumping in to zen's minority-harassment campaign to call people "troglodytes", and meaning the minorities and not the fucking literal fascists emboldened by zen's bullshit

To be clear, this is just as bad as the Amazon AI dub thing. Not as much to meme about, but definitely just as bad. Remember when YouTube switched over to AI closed captions, removed the options for creators to provide their own, and then they all got immediately worse forever? This is like that.

New from 404 Media: ChatGPT told a violent stalker to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women. The man stalked women in multiple states, including touching and following from work www.404media.co/chatgpt-spot...

I have multiple picks but I'm choosing sCRYed so I have the excuse to repost this gem

Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

you can't "gotcha" "assigned sex" because sexing the body is deliberately arbitrary because it is an instrument of control. sex is an instrument of control. sexing the body is a (misogynistic, transphobic) instrument of control. kill the sexologist in your head bsky.app/profile/bloo...

you can't "look at the trans men" your way out of transmisogyny (opening up trans men to anti-transmasculine violence & humiliation). bigots do not operate on gotcha logic especially when they can just use michfest logic in response to keep trans women out anyway 😭

not only will this put trans men in danger, whether some trans men are accepted (misgendering) and others rejected based on transphobic criteria, trans women still are blanket banned from these places for being insufficiently woman. so like what do people expect to accomplish here. useless tactic

Should be noted the judge also says that a "bio sex" (i.e. sex assigned originally at birth) interpretation of toilet access is unworkable

Still reading through, not impressed at judge accepting "bio sex" as a concept without pushback seemingly. Notable that the claimant appears to have lied at multiple points in testimony, including whether she actually stopped using the women's loos.

The Edinburgh ET found that the 1992 regs on toilets and facilities refer to “biological sex”. However, it also held that workplace toilet access should be organised according to putative sex (per Croft), a position close to but not identical to the Good Law Project’s argument before the High Court.

The Tribunal held that propriety is a social construct and standards of decency change over time. It also implicitly highlighted that the claimant was mistaken in believing the Supreme Court’s judgment granted her & her employer carte blanche to engage in discrimination. 🤭

Maria Kelly (an engineering and HR lead at aerospace firm Leonardo UK, represented by Sex Matter’s Naomi Cunningham) challenged her employer over transgender colleagues using female toilets. She lost.

BREAKING: Employee who demand a trans-exclusive toilet policy loses employment tribunal. All claims, direct and indirect discrimination, harassment, and 1992 Regs, dismissed. Judgment: www.gov.uk/employment-t...

the current wave of fascist romance having its roots in the wizard kidlit franchise as a sort of palatable skin to drape over the act of thirsting after Nazis and Confederates is... morbidly apt

remember that time it was a national scandal that the prime minister said, he believed in private, that a bigoted woman was a bigot.

Good

UK Supreme Court: You're allowed to discriminate against trans people, but you don't have to cis people: "well, our hands are tied"

There is absolutely nothing left to the UK but bigotry and spite. A hateful place, you can almost taste it in the air, makes it hard to breathe.

[actively shoving trans women into the mulching machine] "I'm so sorry about this. I hope you understand the difficult position I'm in..."

don't forget to buy your rambit plushie there's only 17 days left and if it doesnt hit 200 orders it gets cancelled, and i want my sad pathetic round son. www.makeship.com/products/ram...

Excluding a minoritised group of children from social activities on the basis of threats, hate, and unjust laws is not acceptable. You don't have to accept it.

oh my God STOP EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW. Today marks the 10 Year Anniversary since I became The Drift King back in college. A lot has happened since, but one thing remains the same. They used to call me The Drift King back in college. Thank you.

Women's Institute have also folded. They're a private organisation who can decide exactly who their members are and aren't. The SC only affects provisions of the Equality Act, none of which apply to this. They've chosen to protect themselves from legal challenges at the expense of trans people.

back to back organisational capitulations to fascism

Joanne will never run out of money because people keep buying her stuff, and so this will keep happening. SLAPP after SLAPP until trans people are completely drummed out of public existence and nobody will do a thing about it

its like my employer, in the face of the judgement, and questions from trans staff, were just completely silent. then a few weeks ago they put out an internal blogpost that was basically just "legally you are biological men but we support you"
