JK Rowling has denied the nazi persecution of LGBTQ+ people in the Holocaust, uses the money she earns to legislate trans people out of existence and asked her followers to photograph women going to the washroom. Keira Knightley: we all gotta figure out how to live together

A new study shows what we know: Journalism is failing on trans rights coverage. 70% of stories about Trump’s executive orders affecting trans people didn’t quote trans people. They’re talking ABOUT trans people not with them. Story / study here: www.transjournalists.org/tja-bmsg-exe...

Emily Maitlis, Hannah Barnes and other prominent 'oh so neutral' journalists were part of the same newsroom culture that treated trans lives as a controversy. They legitimised “gender critical” ideology that overlaps directly with US Christian-right talking points.

Seeing a politician in the uk actually willing to defend trans rights and not just in the halfway labour position of "legitimate concerns" that turn into full on section 28, its genuinely uplifting to the point of being almost upsetting at how rare this has become and how nice this feels

... just watched Crispin Flintoff interview George Galloway... yeah... Galloway is a pretty horrible bigot isn't he, and I'm thinking a lot less of Crispin. How do you go "they are trying to smear you by associating you with tate", just after he openly said he's homophobic.

Good morning all 😊

Reminder that Cass was set up to find this "mass" of detransitioners, they found fewer than 10 and no evidence of any child being "transed" by their parents, but a little bit of truth has never bothered Helen

📢Oscar Davies @nonbinarybarrister.bsky.social co-authors significant commentary for Discrimination Law Association on Convention rights incompatibility of Supreme Court For Women Scotland Judgment 🔽Read on here: tinyurl.com/3zwzuwu3

ANNOUNCEMENT This evening, 14/10/25 the Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective and the Trans Exile Network have taken the next step in the struggle to restore the human rights, dignity & safety of UK trans people.

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

Hey Kier Starmer and Bridget Philipson - if the current EHRC guidance continues into policy, the UK will be on a collision course with the ECtHR This will be weaponised by the far right as a reason to leave the ECtHR - when 82% of Labour voters want Britain to stay! 👉 yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Read my two letters to the #UK: 1. Protests: I call for a review of the legal framework and the reconsideration of provisions in the Crime & Policing Bill that could restrict freedom of assembly. 2. Trans people: I warn against exclusion&zero-sum approaches 👇#HumanRights www.coe.int/en/web/commi...

He’s flagging that 🇬🇧 is in breach of it’s obligations with the result being: 1. They change the approach 2. They lose when this gets to the ECHR 3. The 🇬🇧 leaves the international human rights body we imposed on Europe to stop the rise of fascism happening again.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly. I wonder how they got to this editorial decision? Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again. join.greenparty.org.uk

Quite a bodying, here, for the UK, from the Commissioner for Human Rights, Council of Europe. 🏮 He points out the Supreme Court ignored human rights (which breaches its legal obligations) 🏮 He says, in effect agreeing with Lucy Powell, Parliament should be involved... rm.coe.int/letter-to-pa...

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

BBC News reporting on Israel deliberating destroying Gaza infrastructure Including a waste water treatment plant just before the ceasefire was announced, which legal experts say may be a war crime

Front page of Scottish newspaper The National today.

This weekend we reached 100,000 Green Party members - and we're not stopping there. In fact... we've already passed 105,000 members. Be part of the Green surge. Join the Green Party today ⤵️

Kinda waiting for the US to declare Indiana Jones as antifa terrorist propaganda at this point.

April’s UK Supreme Court ruling on trans rights, lead the ILGA to determine legal gender recognition in this country was no longer functional. Idk if I’d call that an “unwavering commitment” to trans rights

I yelled at the radio today upon hearing about the release of Israeli “hostages” and Palestinian “detainees”.

... about time this was reported! Congratulations! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Fascinated how the guy who made superstars of Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson, and Michael Knowles thought that unfettered racism and every phobia in existence wouldn't eventually include anti-semitism

Watching Piers Morgan drag out the “what is a woman” question with Zack Polanski and using it to try and diminish Polanski and then reminded that Morgan’s allyship to women stretches all the way to calling Mohammed Al Fayed “a bit of a rascal” www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia. Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Solidarity with all trans and intersex people having their existence debated every time a tv host hasn't done their prep and can't think of any more questions

“Here Farage is, in Gill’s office, with Voloshyn’s wife Nadia, on the day Gill makes an intervention on behalf of Medvedchuk’s channels, with an employee of one of those channels, whose husband started bribing Gill to make these statements 6 days earlier” bylinetimes.com/2025/10/11/s...

We're starting to see people outside of Israel starting to be included into ICC genocide investigations. It's going slowly, but kinda reassuring there is some progress. I wonder if the media in addition to government will be included in the investigations? www.reuters.com/business/aer...

The Green surge continues ... We’ve just passed 90,000 members! 💚 People everywhere are joining the movement for real change. Want hope to be normal again? Join the Green Party today ↩️

Our movement is living rent free in the heads of Telegraph journalists at the moment. Join me in being ‘a threat to the right that they never saw coming’. join.greenparty.org.uk

With the tory conference going on at the moment, they are talking a lot about leaving the ECHR. I'm trying to work out who is won over by the argument that "we need to leave the convention for *reasons*, but rest assured it won't effect *your* human rights or effect any international agreements".

💥 WIN 💥 Remember Ofcom’s investigation into GB News’ homophobic comments? Well, they’ve finally got back to us 👀

so... these christiofascists... how far do we have to let this go before we think about addressing it?

Notice the abject silence from our trans & lgbt orgs on todays expise about GIC waiting times?

I’m supposed to believe both that trained and paid journalists couldn’t see through Project 2025 spin but also they’re the people best positioned to tell me what’s happening and how I should feel. Why? They failed at their jobs by their own admission.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish). Zack is spot on.

Great to live in a time where countries seem to think it's in their best interest to bring back plagues, witch burnings and fascism. If only history had some lessons for us to learn from how that ends. Spoilers it's not much fun to live through and the people who enact it don't retire peacefully.

In all honesty, it’s not rhetoric any more. It’s not narrative. I’ve experienced more racism in the last 4 months than I can ever remember. The wheels are off in the UK and it’s being led by 3 political parties.

Absolutely 👇👇

There’s a developing trend of people standing for positions in left wing parties being “not openly transphobic” in the light of previous “just a little transphobia, as a treat” positions. I’m not supporting any of them. Open support for trans rights is a bare minimum.

The people who put Farage in the papers and on the TV all the time agree with Farage. Therefore, what Starmer says about Farage they see as an attack on them and that's why they're having a a tantrum this morning in the papers @mrjamesob.bsky.social

#UK #TransRights An FOI has just confirmed what all of us have feared: for the Youth gender services, since July 2024, not a single patient has been referred to commence HRT. And 22 have been moved from youth to adult services , also without treatment. This is scandalous.

I think it should be made clear that if you do or advocate for racist things, you're a racist. You'd have thought that was blindingly obvious, but apparently not in this timeline.

I note here that the police raided Nicola Sturgeon’s house live on national television because they thought her husband had spent party donations on a camper van

This only happens to you once

How is this not front page news? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This would be (yet another) breach of the government’s human rights obligations under the ECHR. Under Labour. In case anyone thought they weren’t already bad enough.
