X PASSPORTS: SIGNIFICANT UPDATE ECtHR has communicated my application to the UK Government - Case is now moving forward!

In gremlins 2 when a panicked Pheobe Cates pulls the fire alarm, the fire alarm pontificates “Fire! The untamed element, oldest of man’s mysteries, giver of warmth [etc]” anyway that’s what it’s like when you google something now.

Leaving aside the fact this is a flat-out lie, if you take her at face value she is saying there is no problem. So why do they need to take action if it's so 'rare and exceptional'?

Half Life 3 is looking good!

Hi Bylines, can you explain why you have commissioned this person to write an article about Pride for you? Here they are repeatedly misgendering a murdered trans child.

A typical afternoon trying to get Claude to follow instructions.

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

With thanks to the most recent signatories @rozsavage.bsky.social, @steveracemp.bsky.social and Tristan Osborne MP (not on Bluesky) - EDM 240 against the EHRC’s bathroom ban has reached 158 signatures. What happens now? edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

if your 'defence' of women involves invasive and scientifically unfounded testing to determine who qualifies, you're not defending women, you're defending the patriarchy

I think Lord Collins should start his global mission championing LGBT+ rights by talking to the regressive government of this little known nation called the UK.

“This game glamorizes life in Florida to such an outrageous extent that it’s easy to see how young minds could be fooled into thinking that relocating to the Sunshine State wouldn’t be the worst decision they ever made,” said activist Marcie Escobedo

As I’ve said before, any serious attempt to ban conversion practices in Britain has to confront the fact that the NHS never stopped doing it. This draft bill not only fails, it explicitly gives “healthcare providers” permission to continue.

Update on my legal case: The European Court of Human Rights has accepted the filing of my claim against the UK. The next step will be a judicial review to confirm admissibility, but I have no idea how long of a queue there is for that. Assuming it's admissible, a hearing will then be allocated.

First bloody line; "A Bill to create new offences in relation to the carrying out of abusive conversion practices on individuals" As apposed to non-abusive conversion practices then? 😒 www.gov.uk/government/p...

Can confirm that no trouble is expected this evening in Belfast after Jeffrey Donaldson was found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting two children.

McSweeney’s on the economics of the AI bubble. This description of AI driven layoffs is excellent satire.

"The UK court system is a fucking joke. "No facts, no standing, no harm. They get a court to strip the rights of a minority group without them being involved in the case or any factual record. "As bad as things are in the US... there are still constitutional restraints that prevent stuff like this."

The guidance could be better, but the only way we’ll truly square this circle is to fix the law. More than a thousand people have already signed up to join us on 25th June inside Parliament, have you? www.transsolidarityalliance.com/mass-lobby-2...

Is there a reason why children, young people & families impacted by WellBN ban (& earlier puberty blocker ban) can't join a class action organised by legal firms as is happening in Australia right now? Impacted families as a group have had no legal advice & no legal support at all.

Social Media needs regulation, not an unworkable ban for under 16s. All a ban will do is make kids find ways to access sites with greater levels of risk. The ban effectively elevates the risky parts of social media for kids and limits the beneficial parts. An authoritarian policy.

I wish I could search for non-celebration gifs and not have to wade through 80% men.

NION women call time on discrimination! A few of our intrepid collective headed to Parliament last week, to meet with MPs keen to hear more about our work and find out how many of our 100,000+ signatories they have in their constituencies.

I've been asked to publish this statement from some of the families affected by NHS England's decision in Brighton.

A report into the WellBN GP service has concluded that the service "was inappropriately prescribing medications" despite acknowledging it helped the young people In tomorrow's newsletter, we go beyond the headlines and speak to the families affected 🏳️‍⚧️ Join 10K readers 📩 wearequeeraf.com/subscribe

Following the shameful decision of NHS England to forcibly detransition trans kids under the care of Brighton WellBN Good Law Project is funding gender affirming private healthcare for at least 10 young trans people whose treatment has been withdrawn and whose financial need is greatest.

As I’ve said before, any serious attempt to ban conversion therapy needs to confront the fact that the NHS has been doing it for decades.

Families asked why puberty blockers are now being removed from individuals who had received them before the puberty blocker ban, when the 2024 puberty blocker ban legislation i) explicitly said there would be no such withdrawal of existing care ii) explicitly stated care could continue under a GP.

A summary of the investigation report in three skeets "the Practice’s approach to prescribing puberty blockers & hormones does appear to have alleviated the distress of many of the 78 children in the short-term.

Wes Streeting's puberty blockers decision came days after the general election. We had brought a High Court challenge to the decision which was in Court like, a week, after the GE. So we knew his attitude to it was going to be the first big political call he made. /1

🏳️‍⚧️ Thank you to every one of the 98 members of Parliament who have put their name on record against the EHRC’s unjust and unworkable guidance. Motions to annul or disapprove don’t often get this big, especially when led by backbenchers. This sends a clear message ❤️ edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

Can MPs overturn the EHRC Code of Practice? Nearly 100 MPs sign a motion calling for it to be disapproved 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/can-mps-over...

Amid widespread anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, protecting young queer people from bullying and abuse is “more urgent than ever before," says Just Like Us charity boss Laura Mackay

Remember when you could just play a game that caught your eye and see for yourself how you feel about it, without the howling wind of a thousand losers screaming about seeing a woman? Don’t you miss those times? It’s almost like *they’re* the ones ruining gaming 🤷

Where are the 'UK sparks global concern' headlines?

The more I experiment with LLM agent coding the more I realise that this is a technical debt machine. The number of people who will get really excited about how many apps they can launch in a week and have none of them land or be worth carrying on working on in week two let alone week 8 is huge.

Impractical, intrusive and inhumane - @rachelmillward.bsky.social responds to the ECHR guidance on behalf of Green Party leadership.
