This might sound like hyperbole. It is not. They took a decision they were warned would cause trans kids to die. Trans kids died. They covered that up and attacked those trying to expose their cover up. They deserve to go to prison and nobody will ever be held accountable. It is the UK way.

Thank you GLP for exposing Appleby’s report, a report the UK government repeatedly used to accuse trans people, and those that love them, of exaggerating and thereby ⬆️ the risk of suicide in trans people. Removing health care ⬆️ risk. Abuse ⬆️ risk. Conversion practices ⬆️ risk. Gaslighting ⬆️ risk.

@maitlis.bsky.social is proud of her role in the deaths of these children. an open conspiracy between reporters, editors and politicians to destroy trans lives and then hide the evidence for as long as possible, ensuring even greater numbers of deaths. bsky.app/profile/tran...

The misogyny exists in the abuser, not the 'biology' of the victim, and the know this, they just really don't want a law that works to end misogyny because they bloody love it.

There is a wholescale concerted effort to rebrand trans children as gender questioning children. If the whole group are re-labelled, then they cannot claim rights as a minority group. If they are all re-labelled, then conversion efforts can just about helping them 'explore their gender'.

Gonna be honest, it did feel a bit like I had been going crazy, especially since even before any of these revelations, a lot of career transphobes were quite openly pedophilic, Germaine Greer self-described as a pederast "like all women of taste", and yet nobody seemed to see the red flags.

I was feeling sad last night so I finally watched Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Now I'm sad and lonely. Great film.

This happens with*everything* now. No matter how grave the crime or one-dimensional the injustice, after four days the hivemind of American punditry decides that the Real Story is how the people upset about it are the real villains.

“I do not think that 50 year old men should be having sex with 16 year old girls. But “

Key to this is the 28 day "move on" period for people leaving Home Office accommodation when granted refugee status. Previous government increased the period, but Labour in its desire to demonstrate its cruelty reduced it again, despite knowing the outcome. #r4today www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If Keir Starmer had became a judge: Starmer: How do you plead? The most murderous murderer to ever murder: Not guilty Starmer: You're free to go

My go-to on this in the UK is this 2018 study where 1/3rd of employers admitted they would break the law and refuse to hire someone on the grounds they are transgender, and that was before things reached a real fever pitch in the last few years. www.crosslandsolicitors.com/site/hr-hub/...

He's doing "foreigners who come here should learn to speak bloody english and uphold british values" stuff but with nice bland language that doesn't sound like Poundland Enoch Powell unless you listen carefully. Fuck off, Keir.

Starmer finding that place in a Venn Diagram where he manages to annoy allies without defeating enemies

Starmer: "No one is above accountability and no one, however well connected, however experienced, however senior, should hold public office if they cannot meet the basic test of honesty" Pretty roundabout way of resigning.

I mean, it’s not even that “landmark”, it’s in-line with all previous research. Same as before: Sports’ governing bodies should set policies based on good science and a spirit of inclusion, not the opinions of lunatics who only care about sport as a wedge issue to bully trans people out of society

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

No new pictures. Where are you mentally?

I really need to stop taking depression naps in the afternoon. Just makes sleeping at night an impossibility.

guys, you're arsenal fans. you spent years eating shit when your team of nice boys playing football the right way couldn't win anything. rival fans now think of this team the way you thought of mourinho's chelsea. you should be loving every minute of it.

Esther Ghey genuinely seems to be forgetting that Brianna was murdered. Her death was not because she was on social media. The 'real world' was so hostile that she was isolated in school, was unable to make friends and turned to social media. When she befriended someone 'irl', she was murdered.

CW: self harm, ED I listened to the Today programme with Justine Roberts and Esther Ghey and honestly, it was just frustrating. Silkie Carlo had a balanced view on a ban and what other options are available, where some of the others were pretty scattergun. Some of Esther Ghey's contributions:

okay so a woman was murdered and you don't mention the name of the murderer or his victim but you do mention the name of the woman he was married to 50 years ago? like what?

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist. Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

Fuck off John everyone knows Harry Potter isn't some important work of fiction, it sells, you want a check, you couldn't care less about the rest.

Hi, Epstein did not create the GCs. Researchers for the last ten years have been telling you over and over about the collection of forces that resulted in the GCs. There is no conspiracy. Just a bunch of political actors collaborating in their mutual interest.

This is our culture. Epstein isn't a freak exception, his elite friends aren't exceptions. He, and they, are a mirror. That's all.

This is our culture. It is rape culture, but also more broadly it is abuse and exploitation culture. It is pervasive and it is the reason my career was wrecked and it is the reason Trump is president and it is the reason armed state abusers feel justified executing a mouthy woman in the street.

There are SO MANY of us who have been effectively jettisoned because we expected these institutions to at least attempt to live their values. They abused that trust, used us until we were inconvenient, and then burned us. I know so many women with similar stories.

Elon Musk is claiming he’s risked everything to protect kids from sexual abuse mere weeks out from laughing while his AI chatbot was generating nearly 8,000 sexual abuse images per hour that overwhelmingly targeted girls and young women

Are you Non-Binary and sick of being forced into explicitly gendered spaces? Trans, and want a way to avoid issues at work, or have a safety net in case you are in a hostile situation? We have an imperfect solution that could make your life easier: www.essehouse.co.uk/pee-in-peace-program

Well I didn't have Solanke channelling Giroud on my Bingo card.

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

The BBC also highlighted issues faced by trans folk, and no 'clarity' was needed for the reader. "Hearing people talk about being too scared to leave their homes in fear of being attacked does not sound like modern day Britain, but this is the sad reality for a lot of transgender men and women."

Sorry but I'm sick of being told to support a party who hates me because the other guys hate me more Do you not see how depressing that is?

Time for an apology from Hilary Cass for calling us ‘shroud wavers’, Louis Appleby for rushing out a report minimising the risk and our Health Minister for also minimising the risk and calling those who spoke of MH harms ‘online actors’ when announcing the puberty blocker ban was safe.

It’s a fucking disgrace that trans people and their families are being ignored or worse, blamed for raising awareness of suicide risk in this vulnerable group. We have the evidence. The government must act. Stop the blocker ban. Amend schools RSE guidance. No to a blanket social media ban.

When Antifa switches from unmasking neo-Nazis to exposing ICE

‘Increasingly influential online communities […] can radicalise even suburban pensioners.’ EVEN suburban pensioners. EVEN. As if that group is not the most likely to be radicalised

"Shroud waving" (per Cass). No. Young lives ended, needlessly.

"these figures are much higher than the ones in Appleby's report: 46 trans children dying by suicide over a six-year time period, compared with the six trans children Appleby identified over six years."

The fascism is a distraction from the fascism is a distraction from the

As more reporting emerges about the Dilley uprising led by children, I think reporters must clarify what family detention is. These are jails where children and their parents are detained together, and there is a long history of protests at these facilities because of horrendous conditions inside.

The death of an immigrant detainee at an El Paso facility has been ruled a homicide, according to the final autopsy report obtained by NBC News.

This bill moved so quickly there was no time to even mobilize against it. They marked it up and pushed its passage today. It's monstrous what they're doing to our community. Fuck all these people responsible.
