Sometime he listens to medical consensus, sometimes he doesn't. Find a trans person and ask for more info if required.

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

TRANS PEOPLE OF COLOR EXIST. Black, Indigenous, Asian, and Brown trans people exist. Transness exists in EVERY race and ethnic group. Get out more.

the notion that trans women have an advantage in sports is entirely made up and has no basis in science. it's based on the notion that trans women are cross-dressing cis men what little peer reviewed science that has been done shows that, if anything, trans women have a disadvantage over cis women

The reason we're in the mess we are now in is because we forgot we need to kill fascists, and started debating them as though they were rational people.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Transphobia harms everyone and leads to exclusion. Standing up for trans people helps everyone and builds inclusive communities. Every single time:

Imagine being a white cis man telling all this to a black woman. The audacity.

If you care about trans people, listen to trans people and not Wes Streeting.

Looking forward to reading "Vote Labour, get Reform", or "a vote for Labour is a wasted vote".

If someone uses the words "sex-based rights" then you know immediately that they mean trans people harm.

100,000 trans people & allies march through London without threatening or making anyone feel like it is a no-go area. Media: crickets. 100,000 fascists & Nazis march through London threatening violence & making anyone not cishet & white feel it is a no-go area. Media: wall-to-wall live coverage.

I imagine Keir Starmer and his pals will also point to today as a reason to adopt ever-more racist policies, but many more trans people and allies protesting is of course *not* a reason to stop the EHRC's transphobic guidance.

it's so condescending, too. someone like jk rowling who has no idea what it's like to be gay or trans speaking at LGBT+ people (never to us), as if we don't have minds of our own, let alone actual experience of being members of these groups she's talking about with faux authority.

This is good; "Minister of Hypocrisy Wes Streeting" "So there we have it. One Irish person is charged with ‘terrorism’ in a UK court for speaking out against violence, while another Irish person is being held up as a victim of unfree speech for speaking out in favour of violence."

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Graham Linehan once took issue with a sketch I did and tweeted about me referring to me not by name but only as to who my boyfriend was and called me an NPC ( non player character.) It was misogynistic and his “standing up for women” schtick is baloney.

I dont care if you're trans. If you start talking about the "essential differences" between people who have and havent started medical transition as an argument to cut those who havent out of the community, you are TALKING TERF SHIT.

In a group that includes Thatcher and Boris sodding Johnson, Keir Starmer has still managed to become the worst Prime Minister in my nearly 50 year lifetime.

You either believe all people deserve the same rights or you don't. There is no in-between, no 'half pregnant' here. If you think trans people need to advocate for their rights or else it's their own fault people donj't stand up for them, you do not believe all people deserve the same rights.

This is terrifying. It's impossible to overstate what an immense threat to our human rights this Labour government poses.

If you are cis, please read this entire thread. It won't take much of your time

I can't emphasise enough that putting this question front and centre as a mandatory requirement, acts largely as a deterrent to accessing healthcare for trans people.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Makes me feel very not good that the BBC openly refers to trans people with slurs. If you weren’t aware, to call a trans person “biologically [their sex assigned at birth]” is a slur - it’s dehumanising and inaccurate!

Your Party have been asked, relentlessly, since their launch to make a statement in support of trans rights. There is no way they aren't aware of this. They have chosen to say nothing and that should tell you everything you need to know. I'm past giving them the benefit of the doubt now.

And let me be clear -- I wish on JK Rowling everything that she wishes upon trans people.

I think less of people who are impressed by generative AI.

I did not expect that throwaway thought from yesterday to take off so here’s a thread about bathroom access and human health. It’s bleak, but it’s really important to illustrate how the framing about “comfort” is intentionally used to obscure a whole range of downstream, intentional lasting harms.

It’s absolutely GROTESQUE how ‘gender critical’ transphobes have HIJACKED equality language - claiming it’s a “legitimate aim” to DISCRIMINATE against trans people, just because trans people make them feel icky! 😡🤬 #FuckTERFs

🏳️‍⚧️ women, quote post this with why you’re not going to dominate the WNBA Apart from the fact that I'm frighteningly close to 50, all the flights from Wales to the US and back world be pretty damn expensive. Also: I'm shit at basketball.

Using SRY to establish biological sex is wrong because all it tells you is whether or not the gene is present. It does not tell you how SRY is functioning, whether a testis has formed, whether testosterone is produced & , if so, whether it can be used by the body. Says the man who discovered it!

3 Aug 25 - New study shows vast "over-representation of trans boys" turns out to be vast _under-representation_ of trans girls bec. they: a) come out ~10 years later; b) start puberty later; & c) delay transitioning longer because of deep social animus towards AMAB femininity. tinyurl.com/yrwvmxws

It has been six years since the Gender Autonomy Act was passed in Iceland. In those six years, none of the usual fears that anti-trans advocates warn against have manifested - and trans people, non-binary people and intersex people have enjoyed increased rights and protections.

"Parenths have legitimate concerns." White parents had legitimate concerns about integration. Why should we give a fuck about the legitimate concerns of bigots

Yay, a new thing to convince me that I'm not "really" trans.

I will not support any UK party in 2025 that does not explicitly state its support for the rights of transgender people. This party does not yet meet this criterion.

Pinball Dreams on the Amiga was the only decent pinball game. Anything else was just a cheap and nasty imitation.

If you’re contributing to the commercial success of the Harry Potter franchise then you’re funding the removal of Trans+ rights. There is a very transparent funnelling of money toward that. So you don’t get to say you don’t wish to ‘add to the trans debate’. www.radiotimes.com/tv/fantasy/k...

The practice of having different legal rights for people depending on their sex is called sex discrimination

rideshare companies need a “no tesla” option

I cannot emphasize this enough that for YEARS: -trans women played various women’s sports. -trans kids got medical assistance as they and their parents needed. -trans folk could get accurate documents. -trans folk used the bathrooms that felt appropriate. AND NOTHING BAD HAPPENED.

Transphobia is never ok. Even against problematic transgender women. This goes for cis and trans people. I promise that pedaling transphobia will not make things better for the trans people in your life you care about.

I suspect this news will just cause Krowley and her phobic fandom to double down on the hate speech.
