There were pogroms in the UK less than a year ago. Now those responsible will feel that they have the backing of the Prime Minister. Wretched island.

Are you are boring ignorant white guy? Do you know a woman who is better than you? Are you prepared to latch onto her to look like a half way decent person? If you answered yes, have you ever thought about being co leader of the Greens?

To be trans is to gamble everything about oneself on a hope of the possibility of freedom. It is that capacity for hope that makes so many of us creative. It is also what make people envy and hate us and makes established systems want to destroy us. To hope is to want something better.

This is strategically wrong. Labour's current approach will suppress turnout. Reform will fund it easier to turnout voters. Additionally elections are won by teams. Labour are decimating their ability to get volunteers.

Despite anti-trans attacks becoming a central fixture of reactionary regimes, cis people remain thoroughly unequipped to comprehend the nature of the attacks against us, and too often humor the framing of reactionaries who dehumanize us and brand us hysterical, ridiculous, or delusional.

The time for “trans rights are human rights" was 2008. It's time for "we piss where we like", "gender cops are bastards", "Every Labour Office Is a Gender Neutral Toilet".

Having spent 10 years working against Labour locally nothing Labour does surprises me. Manchester Labour are the most amoral group of ghouls.

Most Labour MPs live in the world of the Labour party. It's a very insular world of fellow Labour people who they frequently hate but feel they have to be loyal to. The only thing that keeps them together is the idea of being Labour. I have met these people too often trust me.

When I see people argue this point I'm always struck by how power is flattened. Labour are in government they can make policy. I am not in government and can't reliably use toilets. Yet I am responsible for doing fascism while Labour hold no responsibility despite them clearing having power?!?

When I talk about transphobia operating on the logics of abuse scaled up to the communal or societal level, this is what I mean. "Look how much it sucks to be trans, because I made it that way. You should just desist, because if you insist on it, I'm going to have to hurt you so much more."

The UK EHRC have always been like this BTW. As was it's predecessor organisations. It's always been a minimal attempt to meet international standards. While actually upholding privilege. Like it early 2010s they were bailing on muslims In 2019 they were investigating anti-white racism.

My girlfriend signed off on me doing the same. As long as I take a weapon

One thing that I think we all need to realise is that a not insignificant number of cis people see discrimination as a righteous punishment they get to dole out for the crime of being a tranny.

That is also not true, by the way? Para 236 pretty explicitly lays out how bouncing trans men from a women's space wouldn't count as sex discrimination, owing to their "masculine attributes". The opinion is hypocritical and happy to enforce a double standard for the sake of upholding cissexism.

I mean The UK legal opinion just straight up is the best demonstration of my third-sexing thesis. You are human, broodmare, or gender-freak-to-discard. The particularities of our transition matter less than the fact that we have "chosen" to be degendered by patriarchy.

We really need people to stop saying it's "unworkable". The costs of its unworkability will be paid by increasing trans women's precarity and vulnerability to sudden legal and economic sanction. The system does not need to be coherent if it externalises the risks and costs of policing on to us.

they spend maybe like five sentences out of 88 pages max even acknowledging that discrimination on the basis of transness exists. it's absurd the backflips they do to almost exclusively deploy cis-passing trans people in their thought experiments

It's less that we're being exiled for being men but that the vast majority of trans women's oppression is calling us men and applying a presumption of male status on us (which the court deliberately ignores) when it is convenient to deny us access to sex discrimination protections we face as trans.

Just got off from my GRS check up call. Apparently I have an excellent vag. Much better healed than usual. Then I hear that the Supreme Court decision. Being trans really is elation followed by a kick in the teeth.

Just remembered that basically every teacher report I ever had called me conscientious or a pleasure to have in class. Extremely obvious queer coding.

I will never not be annoyed that the beauty place in town called Doll Parts isn't a trans frm coop. How is the allowed?

It is sunny and my freckles have returned 😊

It shouldn't be hard for a cabinet minister to condemn child abuse and take action on it. And yet @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social seems oddly reluctant.

“boys feel isolated and lonely as they grow up” the media and political classes discuss this serious problem very seriously “trans kids feel isolated and lonely as they grow up” the media and political classes unite in fury because trans kids shouldn’t be allowed to grow up at all

The reporting re. Brianna Ghey in the last year has demonstrated that trans people cannot be the objects of sympathy - even when we are viciously murdered children. The object of sympathy in all of this reporting has been Brianna's cis mother, and her personal crusade against mobile phones.

Another example of those with power trying to create a new reality.

I say it often but there seems to be a commonly accepted wisdom among anti-trans activists that nothing done in pursuit of attacking trans people can ever be wrong.

You already know everything you need about Vivian Wilson's deadname: It's irrelevant, a bullshit name picked out by the most divorced man alive, and vastly inferior to the one she chose for herself. The actual deadname itself is irrelevant.

One day you will ache like I ache

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social has time to leave extremely stimulated Instagram comments snarling at members of the public but not to respond to the serious safeguarding concerns that have been raised with him about who he's letting influence trans health policy.

Just wrote a report about how We Streeting needs to be sent on rocket to Venus for his own good. Guess that has to be government policy now.

All I’m asking is have J K Rowling and Dorothy Marsden ever been seen in the same room at the same time?

Wasteman

These are wresting promos, and I love them. I swear the second speaker could be Deathmatch King Nick F'n Gage MDK all day 🤼‍♂️🤼‍♀️

I love risographs

labour haven’t carried out an impact assessment. that’s bcos they know these cuts will cause mass deaths. this is not ‘grown up’ politics and they can’t claim to be implementing dvidence based policies if they don’t even bother to gather evidence. they are ideological extremists.

One trans narrative that no cis person in the history of all existence ever has been able to come up with is the type of trans girl who has to drag herself kicking and screaming into transition because she's built up so much belligerence towards her own identity

I wrote for @huffpost.com on why the government's plans to slash welfare spending are a cruel, unnecessary choice. Time to start taxing wealth fairly instead of stripping away support from those who can least afford to lose it. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/green-...

Liz Kendall and Rachel Reeves are specifically planning to cause extreme poverty to and kill disabled people. When are we marching as this CANNOT stand.

Alas trannies are for spectacle not for caring about

Eggs are cheap. Dolls... Dolls are expensive

As a member who can vote in this election I have just asked Kai about this. I encourage other GPEW members do to likewise.

"Stranger danger" is so nefarious as a propaganda tool, because 1) most sexual violence is committed by people known to the victim and 2) the people imagined to be "the stranger" (trans people, immigrants, Black people) are themselves most at risk for facing violence from people they don't know

It is really illustrative that Trump is allowing the Tates into the country while arguing stripping trans people of their rights is protecting women. Patriarchies have always used 'defending women' as way to control both women and a constructed 'other'.

"Why won't the transes debate us?" Bergdorf did fucking debate you people. Youse whipped the audience up into such a hateful frenzy beforehand that they started screaming "penis" at her while she was trying to talk. www.standard.co.uk/culture/tvfi...

It's so obvious when I come across a fellow Buffy poisoned person. There's just a vibe.

Tbh I have a real problem with the idea that there's any non-abusive way to strip search somebody under threat of the full force of state violence. Regardless of the genders, anatomical configuration or legal status of anybody involved.
