The ADF isn’t just any Christian anti-abortion group — they helped overturn Roe v Wade in the US and are incredibly well-connected in the White House. Now they’ve set their sights on Britain.

Wes Streeting extended the puberty-blocker ban on 6 November 2024. Leia died by suicide on 11 November 2024.

Just wow! @zackpolanski.bsky.social absolutely kills it in the @greenparty.org.uk party political broadcast. "Let's make hope normal again" www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxt4...

Gordon Guyatt, a distinguished professor of medicine at McMaster University, was a reluctant icon of the movement against trans health care. Until August, when Guyatt and four colleagues made waves with a letter arguing that their work had been “misrepresented and misinterpreted.”

Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."

Best inclusive language in a traditional setting goes to York Racecourse

NHS consultation opens today www.engage.england.nhs.uk/consultation...

Labour are the populists.

Stephenson was shown not to be suitable for the role based on a number of factors that this government has seen fit to ignore the objections does somewhat demonstrate a lack of consideration for actual equality and human rights. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Holy crap, Bridget Phillipson has appointed Dr Mary-Ann Stevenson as the new chair of the EHRC, despite the explicit objections of both @commonswec.parliament.uk and the Joint Committee on Human Rights here: committees.parliament.uk/publications... www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre... 1/

Mine just got into Danish Uni.  No tuition fees.  £7K-ish full grant.  Optional £3.5K loan. I asked a relative if parental income affects the grant, he looked puzzled and said "Why would it?  In Denmark you have to be at least 18 to go to university"

So Labour is considering overruling the Supreme Court to protect car loan companies but not to protect trans people’s human rights. Starmer WANTS to harm trans people, the Supreme Court misjudgment is just a fig-leaf for his transphobia.

BREAKING 🧨 I'm now in possession of evidence confirming a second trans youth suicide, where the patient's data was NOT sent to NHS England, for inclusion in Appleby's flawed DHSC report "Review of suicides and gender dysphoria at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust: independent report"

EXC Labour MPs have privately raised alarm at the number of sponsored corporate receptions for backbenchers arranged by the party MPs received invitations for receptions that include explicit advertisements for property developers or outsourcing firms -sent to MPs directly from the PLP office.

The latest attack on trans healthcare. Suitably negative headline. The BBC decided not to headline with a quote from the defence. (My 3rd attempt at this post) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One of the funniest things I've seen I must say

Not parody, an extract from an anti trans piece in the Times.

The dragging of this "debate" into the hands of people who have opinions but no stakes in making sure those opinions are connected with anyone's actual wellbeing, is one of the major tools by which trans people have been exposed to harm through the liberal democratic apparatus.

I'm quite sure the secretive writing of the Interim Update, excluding all relevant staff, the framing to make it look like formal guidance for immediate action, and the Friday night release were all very deliberate. Reminiscent of Trump Administration / DOGE style tactics.

This reads like more evidence that the interim EHRC guidance was drawn up by Kishwer Falkner and cronies, without input from neutral expert staffers. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Labour trying to suck up to the rightwing vote reminds me of that old letter in Viz: “What’s the point of soft porn? People who don’t like porn don’t like it and people who like porn don’t like it either.”

It's really very simple actually.

Hilariously, the new rules make it wrong for parents to bring their young children into the wrong toilet with them. That's what happens when you let idealogues give power go idealogues like Falkner. www.wearequeeraf.com/understand-t...

The law of … … unintended consequences.

Song of the moment, Glory Days by Pulp. "We were brought up on the Space-Race Now they expect you to clean toilets"

Trans people were living in fear to see if their rights and freedoms would be stripped away by a process they had no say in. The "Gender Criticals" were just excited to see if they could cause extra suffering as they had absolutely nothing at stake and a huge voice in the process

1/ BREAKING: So - it turns out deeply-religious Lord Hodge, the Judge in yesterday’s UK Supreme Court Case that destroyed trans rights, headed a ‘Commission On Same-Sex Relationships’ for the Church of Scotland published in 2011.

@curiosityhull.bsky.social A topic that might be interesting for your podcast... History of pleasure travel on the Humber. I think there used to be steamers doing trips to Spurn Point etc. Also, why is there no leisure travel now? Why no jet boat doing trips to the bridge etc?

A staggering 4 out of 10 British goods that were on European shelves before Brexit, are no longer there. I did not know that!

If anyone's looking for a binge watch, try Badehotellet. Still going, it started in 2013. It's an Upstairs Downstairs saga with beautiful Danish seaside lighting and a Scandi approach to nudity and sex. Find it on the Channel 4 app as Seaside Hotel.

@robinmoirawhite.bsky.social @indiawilloughby.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The lie that NHS puberty blockers are not given outside of a study, they are given to people already on them. No mention of Bell v Tavistock overturned, Paul Conrathe's background.
