We have heard this consultation may have had a strong transphobic response. It looks like they've tried to slip it through without trans input. It needs to be in by 02 APR, so almost time up. We haven't been able to put a guide for this one due to the short notice. www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ind...

If you pay for anything Harry Potter-related, if you take part in anything Harry Potter-related, you are sending money to the person who does this and uses the money to pay legal costs for bigots just like her. She is a vile, sick, dangerous misery. A hollow mess who will leave a putrid legacy.

she dropped her pedophile agency and hates israel and shes a lesbian

Even if they did, it wouldn’t ban the conversion therapy they are carrying out themselves.

One of the clinicians I saw and who abused me was Dr Natasha Prescott, who since did training to teach conversion practices to colleagues within the NHS (transsafety.network/posts/gender...).

Don't let religion control our government.

This is where the extreme right-wing parties; Labour, Tories and Reform, have got a really warped, and probably very sexist, view of people’s occupations…

“My gender identity is my own, and I have the right to define it. No one else, especially cisgender people, has the right to decide my identity. That is why we firmly oppose the bill.” Solidarity with trans communities in India who are fighting against a law that restricts their bodily freedom. 🇮🇳🏳️‍⚧️

Associated Press finally called Israel's invasion of Lebanon just that - now let's try for "illegal invasion by a supremacist ethnostate"

The Olympics has 5 equestrian competitions as well as sailing and shooting. I’m assuming trans women are banned from these as well. Anyone explain what possible advantage trans women might have in these sports…?

What Rowling and others are doing with this framing is policing femininity and gender roles by declaring that women cannot beat men in physical sport, when in reality, any given woman in Olympic Boxing would wipe the floor both figuratively and literally with 99.9% of men out there.

In addition to everything in this thread about womanhood and policing its boundaries, I must point out that boxing is a contact sport. BOXING IS A CONTACT! SPORT! Cheering people punching other people is the POINT! And Khelif's opponent would floor 99% of men on the planet in the ring.

The people who will mostly be affected by the International Olympic Committee’s transphobic ban will overwhelmingly be cis women, who will suddenly find out they have, in some minor way, a small variation in 1 small element that is deemed to determine gender. And be forced to pay for the privilege.

So, will Nazi Nigel now apologise for his insinuations about the Gorton and Denton result…? Face it Fashy Farage, your Great White Hope, funded with big billionaire bunce, was beaten by a GIRL, and a woke, lefty, feminist, trans-supportive, cool, honest, working class anti-genocide girl at that.

Can we get an apology from professional loser Matt Goodwin and every single member of the UK commentariat that followed his briefing that pushed the unevidenced message that the Gorton and Denton by-election results were illegitimate?

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Mar Guardian UN & 100+ human rights, sports and scientific groups decry recent decision by IOC to ban trans women from 2028 Olympics saying guidelines are “a blunt and discriminatory response that is not supported by science & violates international human rights law”.

Forthright article by @zoesqwilliams.bsky.social about how Girlguides took the cowardly way out of being sued by a nasty author. Redeeming the Guardian somewhat, and having a real go at the Girlguides leadership.

I agree, but with the caveat that they'll find a way to allow the hypothetical blonde white woman to participate, but not others. I expect this rule to end up being used to exclude those they want to exclude, but not those they want to have.

look i'm not a big "judge people by the media they consume" person but if you watch the new wizard bigot show that gives money to Rowling, I will think less of you and trust you less.

Great to see Woodcraft Folk proudly sticking two fingers up to every “gender-critical” transphobe.

Absolutely this! Let’s have a ban on politicians banning stuff by punching down on ordinary people like the Starmer “government” does & insist politicians stand up to the social media companies that are the problem. You wouldn’t think it looking at Labour but that’s what they’re there for.

Interesting: even some Labour people are now starting to see through the continuously contradictory Party messaging. This has been the bread and butter of Labour messaging since the Green surge.

Quite the headline variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Since the 2003 when the Olympic committee allowed trans people to compete, 88,000 cis athletes have taken part and just one (yes ONE) trans woman. She went out in the first heat effectively coming 42nd out of 42. Explain to me again how trans women are dominating women’s sports.

A few months ago politicians (especially in the “Labour” Party) were trying to ridicule @zackpolanski.bsky.social for saying this. Now, I suspect they are trying to pretend they weren’t.

📣 @greenparty.org.uk representatives: I say this with respect - but for what feels like the billionth time: Yes, Trans men, and non-binary people exist and deserve just as much solidarity as Trans women But please remember that Trans women are women, and are not separate from other women 1.

An informed consent model for Gender Affirming Healthcare is the solution. My body, my choice. - No astronomical wait times for HRT - No stigma, no labels, just good healthcare at the point of need. - Informed Consent Now!

Everyone is rightly pointing out that being a bigot means confirmation bias which means hilariously implausible credulity. But importantly she ‘knows of’ but doesn’t ‘know’. This isn’t even a kid she’s met that’s taking the piss out of her. She’s operating only one step removed from ‘I reckon’.

Anti-trans obsession isn't complicated, guys. They think trans people are icky and "unnatural". Everything else is a post facto justification adapted to provide the desired conclusion, to convince themselves as much as anyone else that it's not just the base revulsion they subconsciously know it is.

Hang on, she says she teaches children who identify as cats, and now holograms? Has anyone checked that she hasn't just been watching Red Dwarf and thought it was real?

Reminder that Sean Ingle believes that cave men could throw spears further than cave women and that's why trans women should be banned from rugby. Actual words he said out of his own mouth.

The mainstream is catching up with Zack. But they will pretend not to notice that they're now saying what they were vilifying him for saying a couple of weeks ago.

This is a very important watch. Suddenly @zackpolanski.bsky.social has started looking Prime Ministerial, and very much more so than any PM I have ever known.

The word "sport" comes from the verb to "desport" which means to "take off or remove" one's daily worries & problems & engage in a leisure activity free from the problems and pressures of everyday life. By politicising the Olympics in this way the transphobes have ended this break that... 1/2

All the scientific evidence shows that trans women who have been on E for any length of time have no physical advantage over cis women. This means the Olympic trans ban is purely ideological and political The ideology of division and bigotry and the politics of hate.

The first woman excluded by chromosome testing later turned out to have mosaicism (1/2 of cells had XY 1/2 XX) and had to be apologised to decades on. The last had androgen insensitivity and couldn't develop male sex characteristics even if you injected her with enough T to kill an elephant.

The Guardian platforming Sean Ingle to talk about the Olympic trans ban demonstrates that it is still the same old transphobic hate-rag that freely platformed transphobic bigots and no-platformed trans people.

I'm telling you, the first time some blonde white woman whose also a major sports star gets disqualified for being intersex, all hell is going to break loose.

Sarwar would sell his own mother if it brought him a few votes

Evidence that Wes Streeting is a liar. Wes Streeting is the politician removing lifesaving healthcare from trans children while covering up a significant increase in suicides when the NHS restricted puberty-blockers in 2020. He is not a suitable person to be trusted with decisions that… 1/2

This is why no one trusts Wes Streeting. He tells his friend Peter Mandelson in private Israel have committed war crimes, while in public making divisive dog whistling comments about people who have the courage to stand against those war crimes. www.middleeasteye.net/news/wes-str...

I’ve watched this video of Mike Lindell being served legal papers during his TV interview at CPAC a dozen times already! 🤣🤣

“Requiring women and girls to undergo mandatory genetic screening just to participate in sport would revive a practice that… violates women’s and girls’ privacy, exposes them to extreme public scrutiny, humiliation, and opens a pathway to medically unnecessary interventions.” Sex testing is trash.

Not the first time Melania has had to drop her price.

Conversion therapy is a form of torture most commonly deployed against trans children. Is the new Harry Potter series effectively advocating torturing children...? Either way this is a huge trigger warning for survivors on CT. 😫
