Going on LBC News at 18:20 to discuss the non-news about IOC trans bans which is actually news about possible bans on women more widely.

"As someone working in law, it’s heresy to say this, and it might even kill my chances of a career... But as a trans person, and someone fighting for the rights of my community, I refuse to remain silent. To me it just seems obvious: a heavily prejudiced society produces prejudiced institutions."

Trans women are already banned from all of the sports at an international federation level already. This framing is a lie aimed at hiding the fact they're now going after other women that they don't like.

Absolutely genuinely hilarious that *this* is what's finally got rid of Tim Davie 😂

They've changed it back again now, but changing a quote is a huge red flag. The BBC are repeatedly demonstrating that there are ideologues directly interfering with the meaning of stories they report relating to trans people, and this should be a far bigger deal than it is

Saw a news report yesterday about children as young as 9 being given weight loss jabs on the NHS, and I think it shows just how utterly bullshit the “lack of research into long term impacts” excuse for banning puberty blockers for trans kids really was. It’s purely ideological.

Why do people keep badgering Bluesky to let them have private accounts? Why does social media like this need private accounts? We already have a million places for private conversation. People just use it for harassment, I don't want it.

Ok but Christian Calgie is the Express political editor. He's a journalist. And in his frame, he's "got them" to commit to this. I mean, that's weird, isn't it? Isn't that a strange thing for a journalist to say?

I'd never heard of Elizabeth Eddy, and now I have, so if you're looking for answers as to why people say these things then there's an answer right there.

Lia Smith, a transgender athlete who was on Middlebury's swimming and diving team, was just found dead by suicide this week. www.them.us/story/lia-sm...

As a trans woman in the UK, it's comforting to know that if I'm ever brutally murdered by people motivated by vicious hatred, that my family can avenge my death by embarking on a polite campaign to ban young people from using self checkouts, the real culprit in my demise.

A much underrated reason for the absolute death of bricks and mortar retail is that every time you just want to make a quick purchase of a single £30 item, you're stuck behind someone serving someone with a query over £1.27 that takes 15 hrs to resolve

1/🧵 I am viewing a never-before-seen file on “gender reassignment” or trans inclusion policy at the National Archives, Kew. The Supreme Court should start sweating. A bagful of receipts!

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

Join us live as the Council of Europe marks a historic milestone with the launch of the first international recommendation on equal rights for intersex persons! ⏰ 27 October, 3-5.30 pm (CET) ℹ️ and livestream: www.coe.int/en/web/sogi/... Let’s stand for equal rights for intersex people!

Further, there is a near 100% guarantee that conveyors etc will still charge to verify an identity in these circumstances anyway.

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

This is why “do not comply in advance” is the answer. Making this barbarism expensive to police makes this more of a problem to this Labour government than the in-built attacks on human rights. Which is sickening.

Where did they find 41 trans people who trust Labour? Presumably 41 people who just don't pay attention to any news at all

Begging people to comprehend there is a vast difference between 'purity' and 'being opposed to people espousing beliefs which undermine the movement against fascism'. There is no point aligning with people who want to create the conditions that fascism thrives in.

The Commissioner for Human Rights has written to the UK – warning that trans people's human rights are at risk. www.coe.int/en/web/commi...

Buying this for whenever one of our cats claims they're hungry

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...

And as we learned from that, the first step in all of these things is framing something with an obvious and well studied correct answer as a debate knowing that doing so means that ~20% of people will choose the wrong answer just out of contrarianism, and immediately you've created a split

There's an awful lot wrong with this, but what really stands out to me is Reeves saying this at an event and then just asking people to not say anything about it before Thursday or Friday!?! This is absolutely rank incompetence

Incredible reprise of the 1992 Rumbelows Cup draw here

They, or whoever comes after them, could and would use this on Prides. We're turning into Orban's Hungary

Trains crashed lads

A new FOI release shows how the DHSC gave anti-trans lobby groups like Sex Matters & LGB Alliance direct access to shape policy on trans healthcare. These groups push for restrictions that leave trans people waiting, suffering & at risk of suicide. tacc.org.uk/2025/10/03/i...

Men are scared women will laugh at them, women are scared men will kill them. Except old rich cis women who are so privileged that all they have to be scared about is other women rolling their eyes at them

“What a summer of women’s sport.” “England women will inspire the next gen.” Why are we whitewashing this year? Trans women and girls were literally banned. Sex testing was brought back. And Black players are being subjected to racism. Journalism MUST recognise setbacks as well as progress.

This is also 'people who only have time to read articles whilst they're in meetings' Vs 'people who have time to watch videos with the sound on '

New essay: REJECT TRANS DOOM-POSTING. It's about grief, loss, institutional failures, and the horror of the current moment. It's also a love letter to trans community, and the things we do with and for one another.

In all seriousness, here is a list of things which would need to be true in order for such a scheme to be remotely acceptable to a reasonable and informed person. Almost all of these conflict with why they'd do it: 1) No data to be available to private business, ever, for any reason (Cont)

Unfortunately 'Britcard' rhymes with 'Shitcard' so this is immediately unviable

Fairly confident ID cards would bring down this government

I know that there is a lot of shit going on in the world right now, but it is worth knowing that the train nerd guy with the ridiculous camera angles that everybody loves has K swapped a pink Honda Jazz and it's...not what I expected him to do

Get used to this because we're going to have situations like this up and down the country for various arguments in tennis clubs, pub toilets and the Sherpa Van Rentals Skipton & District 4th Division Reserves Cup

'we said this would happen' article 4846738

A thread of dreadful, dangerous and irritating driving behaviours: UK edition. I'll be adding to this over time. The exponents of these behaviours will be the first into the re-education camps when I rise to power.

6hrs per day equates to 25% of his time, in fact ~two thirds of his waking productive time. He therefore needs to increase his life expectancy by at least a third in order to just break even, which seems very unlikely. Anyone with a financial background should understand this is a bad business case.

Even if you do not consider attempting to change a child's own sense of gender to be abuse (which it is), it seems impossible to justify putting chilli powder and other irritants in a child's make up with the understanding they will use it and be injured by this.

WES STREETING CLAIMS TO BE GIVING AN OLIVE BRANCH TO TRANS COMMUNITY, SAYING HE ONLY WANTS TRANS KIDS TO BE SAFE, WHILST SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTINUING TO WORK WITH BAYSWATER, KNOWN PROMOTERS OF CHILD ABUSE.

Years they've been doing this stuff. YEARS. And still some think it was a 'mistake' or 'irresponsible'. It was deliberate. Every trans person knew before it happened what they would do and they did it. YEARS.

Anyone could have asked trans people where Justin Webb got his politics 10 years ago, but given we're universally ignored then now you're having to find out this way

This happened in full view of Sky News cameras and a bunch of police just standing there. Why is THIS not on the news all day? Why don't we show people what these thugs are turning the country into? I could only find it on the far right TikTok page that proudly boasted about the incident. SHARE!

They know exactly what they are doing with this headline
