💥WIN: Victory in landmark case on gender recognition Am so proud to have worked on this case, and to work for an org which fights for - and successfully defends - trans rights. "A huge victory for trans people’s human rights in this country, at a moment where things have felt particularly dark."

This is the most perfect example I've ever seen of the extremely common tendency for British people to fantasize that whatever they're doing to minorities is reliably much more decent than whatever America is doing to those same minorities.

"What we have been through is only a small, small part of what Palestinians have experienced. On the walls of our prison cells, we saw bullet holes with bloodstains and messages carved into the walls by Palestinian prisoners who had been there before us."

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.

Any politician can and should do this! It's easy, actually, to stand up for the folks who need it the most. Lovely write-up by Katelyn here.

I have actually never seen a politician say anything even remotely like this. Whatever the follow-through, or not, even the fact he said this is really, really something

- informed consent in primary care - bulldoze every gender clinic - hold inquiries into the abuses that went on there - apologies + damages to patients denied care - bosh ✊ If someone wants to transition, at any age and for any reason, that’s their business.

Glasgow Gender Clinic now has a waiting time of 224 years. The average across the UK is now 25 years. This segregated system isn’t working and is wasting millions. The NHS has been told time and again - informed consent now.

They also say transphobia is awful while treating trans people like criminals. Almost like Starmer is a lying piece of shit.

Last night, Israel intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla, illegally seizing ships and those onboard. I've written to the Foreign Secretary, urging the government to condemn this attack and speak up for the safety and immediate release of the 13 British citizens detained.

On the Gaza flotilla live stream, one by one, boats are intercepted by IDF & blasted with water cannons until comms are jammed & the feed for each boat goes down. Israel is illegally kidnapping civilians on international waters, & they're preventing the world from witnessing.

🚨 UPDATE 🚨 The news is in, and it’s good 🚫 GWD, the anti-trans lobby group led by four disgraced expelled members, has been denied a platform at Autumn Conference They tried to strong-arm the party with legal threats in order to spread their transphobic agenda But the party stood firm 1.

Every example Starmer gave of Britain not being broken is people having to step up where the Government has failed. It should be considered shameful that people have been driven to this point.

This is some Trump level bullshit.

as a matter of urgency, this labour government must be removed from office

I'm sure there was something about "the air of England [being] too pure" or the like, but apparently we've moved beyond the peroquial abolitionist morality of the 1700s. This is supposed to be the centre left government, how damn mask off can they get?

What centrists are offering across the Western world is the opportunity for the right to consolidate their gains as hegemonic. They’re offering managerial competence in service to reactionary aims.

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

It seems to me that what Morgan has very obviously done here is considerably worse than the stuff that had coppers storming through Nicola Sturgeon’s front door and digging up her back garden live on national television, and everyone is saying it’s old news and there’s nothing much to see.

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents. I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights. sianberry.org.uk/publications/l…

Has now passed a million signatures.

Again, you *have to* have a Tesco card or your shopping costs even more than the already crazy prices! Do you see how all the arguments against objections amount to tiny gilded class saying “we already treat you like cattle, so it’s stupid for you object to us fucking you in new and exciting ways”.

Amazing slip of the tongue to call 14 years of Tory government "the left"

Every argument that universal ID won't make the state stronger is wrong and that's why we should oppose universal ID.

The irony of this policy being announced on the same day as Reform getting 33% in a poll is overwhelming. Just imagine what a Farage-led Doge will do to our personal data? And that’s before the really sinister shit kicks in.

I can only assume Satan had a prior engagement

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.

This is authoritarian, full of issues and pitfalls, expensive, unlikely to solve the problem it's targeting and most likely a way that will be used to further segregate trans people from society. It must not happen. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

the labour party deploys britishness like american parties deploy americanness, seemingly without the understanding that britishness is not considered a desirable thing in many parts of the UK they long for that thing american pols can do where they say the name of the country and get a cheer

step one in making sure you need an ID to piss

I think my fave example of the BBC as a whole being kinda fucked is that one summer when like four different BBC staff compared trans healthcare to nazi torture which may have also been the same year a certain comedy writer went on Newsnight and did the same. No apologies were issued. None.

🚨 BREAKING | Wes Streeting confirms Labour is actively working to BAN trans women AND trans men from female spaces, describing their presence as "unpleasant". Streeting confirmed to MumsNet that Labour aims to exclude ALL trans people from single-sex spaces. (Via MumsNet)

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support. I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.

Kair Starmer simply cannot continue as Prime Minister. He is entirely unprepared for this political moment, and is handing the country to Reform on a platter. No matter your politics, you would have to be a fool to support this inept man as PM.

It’s already at almost 80k. Won’t take much to get it over 100k. We can get more specific about our objections later (for example, the issue of gender markers), but might as well have an out and out “NO” as a starting point!

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Interesting that both Phillipson and Streeting are campaigning by saying they'll be nice to trans people despite being two of the party's biggest anti-trans MPs.

there's no contradiction between "hating trans people" and "wanting to fuck trans people". have you guys heard what men think of women

I think my gut was right yesteday, he's trying to position himself for Starmer's downfall. Good luck with that lol

The call for sympathy for Charlie Kirk is a demonstration of how care tends to flow “up” into a hierarchy. Power systems aren’t just about organizing dominance but controlling who gets cared for, and those who already horde care tend to demand more. This is care hierarchy.

cw misogynoir end the labour party

I’m sorry lads: you were presented with pretty much the most straightforward choice possible, and the whole lot of you enthusiastically chose the project we now know was orchestrated by Jeffrey Epstein’s great pal: crackdowns, flag-fucking, gender-terror and genocide. There’s no turning back now.

not saying anything that hasn't already been said but I feel insane. people are terrified to leave their homes! violent thugs are marching everywhere! and just ... nothing! no leadership, no words of reassurance, zilch. I guess I'm not surprised exactly but I am shocked

hard to imagine a government less well suited to the current moment. David Cameron would be handling it better ffs

He's trying to appeal to s constituency of voters at a rally that called for his overthrow and assassination. Political calculus aside surely there's a moment where that becomes untenable as a basic element of self-respect.

It’s not just the disgusting misinformation the UK mainstream media spew about trans people, it’s also about what they DON’T talk about! 100K people attend London Trans Pride and it’s *crickets* 100K people attend a Tommy Robinson hate rally and it’s all over the front pages! 😖 It’s blatant bias!

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves. The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

Trans people who have already come out are the reason the rest of us can even imagine doing the same. Their courage is the foundation under our feet.
