Labour: what unhinged shit can we say today to ensure we never win another election? Ooh, we haven’t pandered to some genocidal monsters in a few hours, let’s go with that!

Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

"It's too costly to stand up for you, but we pinky promise we have solidarity with you" is bullshit. "We have no choice but to discriminate against you" is bullshit. They could use their platform to spotlight Gender-Conservative hatred, or demonstrate actual commitment to their stated principles.

Couldn’t Girl Guides have announced they were no longer a so-called single sex space rather than exclude trans girls? Surely there’s no legal requirement for them to provide a (cis) girls-only space, as with toilets etc?

Police inaction on sexual violence against women & girls laid bare again. A culture of impunity for misogyny. Almost 1 in 3 women experience rape or domestic violence. Over 90% of perpetrators are known to victims & 1 in 2 rapists are partners or ex-partners. #r4today

"iF yOu TaX tHe bIlLiOnAiReS tHeY wIlL LeAvE’ The richest family in the UK has £35.3B. A 2% tax would raise £706M—leaving them with a measly £34.59B. They could earn that £706M back in about *2.5 months* from INTEREST ALONE. Meanwhile, we have security tags on cheese. Cry me a fucking river.

“The Resolution Foundation think tank has estimated she will need to raise taxes by £21-£26 billion.” There are currently 156 billionaires in the UK. Tax that hoarded wealth and you’d have more than enough.

Waiting lists for gender clinics shouldn’t be this long, especially since most of us could easily (and safely) access treatment through our GPs. Gatekeeping via ‘specialist’ gender clinics is a huge part of the problem, it’s harmful and it needs to end.

Here’s a little exploration of one of the major pieces of lore in Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea - names - from a trans perspective, with a bit of the personal thrown in for good measure.

The biggest irony is that a co-founder behind this anti-trans and anti-medicine conspiracy-mongering account is a big fan of homeopathy: a snake oil sugar pill "treatment" that helps no-one and makes a fuckload of money for the fraudsters selling it

During the Franco dictatorship, Spanish women that could afford it traveled to the UK to get safe abortions. Poorer women only had access to back alley clandestine and dangerous abortions. The UK now is creating the same situation but in reverse for trans healthcare

Trans women ends up on the sex offender register because a cis man wants to pretend he didn’t willingly do sexual stuff with her. This woman’s life is ruined because of a cis man’s insecurity. This is not sexual assault, and calling it that is a huge insult to all victims of sexual violence.

Cis people can’t comprehend how cruel not helping a trans child is. Those of us who never had the chance to get help at a young age often spent decades in mental anguish and feeling utterly worthless. I know I became so traumatised I would only speak if spoken to. What monster hurts kids like that?

The entire 'gender critical' movement is built on weaponising violence experienced at the hands of cisgender men to attack trans women, rather than addressing cisgender male violence. Being a victim of abuse does not give you the right to punch down. It's wild that this has to be said.

This is such disgusting queerphobia. Even for the Times, published a piece that uncritically repeats the claim that a queer rights org is grooming children is fucking awful. The UK is regressing at an alarming rate.

This new research on transgender patients in Australia and the Netherlands doesn’t just bring into question one of the key assumptions underlying the ROGD hypothesis, it turns it on its head.

Evidence based medicine? Nah, the UK prefers Cass informed medicine 🫠

This resulted in a paradoxical outcome. Exclusionary beliefs & behaviors increased nationwide, but that increase was much SMALLER in the districts that received MORE refugees. Districts with FEWER refugees drove the national level threat.

Boosting this, please sign! STOP the RSHE guidelines NOW. Ban the GCIM hate network.

What’s enraging about this is that a lot of us have actually been contacting our MPs to raise issues (you know, engaging w/ democracy etc), but when those MPs raise those issues, they are ignored by Keir, or sacked for contradicting him, or derided by the right-wing press Keir is beholden to.

Joanna Cherry showed up to the tribunal to support this woman today

The things Sandie Peggie is saying in this tribunal are like a parody of a transphobic racist. If Naomi Cunningham coached her to say this stuff, Cunningham’s career should be over, not just Peggie’s.

yeah that's how disciplinaries work

Someone who thinks like this should not be in a caring profession. It shows not just racism, but a profound lack of empathy and lack of care for human life. These are not traits compatible with being a nurse. Can’t wait for the tribunal to decide otherwise, though 🫠

“We don’t want foreigners raping and beating our women, only we get to do that!” Is that the “legitimate reason” MPs have referred to?

Who exactly would this be popular with? People who want to shoot up schools, incels who watched ‘Adolescence’ and rooted for Jamie Miller, and gangsters, would be my guess. Harder to guess which demographic Farage is trying to appeal to. He’s a total horror.

Reminder that the Global Project Against Hate And Extremism labels LGB Alliance an "extremist group": globalextremism.org/post/release... ( #auspol )

It’s so amazing and refreshing to see a politician actually call out the racism and xenophobia used to distract us from the ills of capitalism. It shouldn’t be exceptional to call out far-right bullshit, rather than pandering to it. But here we are. Glad someone’s finally doing it.

Im skint, disabled, jobless, but people being genocided are forced to beg to folks like me for survival. Meanwhile our gov arrests those protesting the genocide, allows arms sales to the perpetrators, and the ‘international community’ watches Gaza starve. The extent of Western hypocrisy is vile.

This is very revealing. The Labour Party acknowledges that there is considerable debate about the Supreme Court (mis)judgement to the extent that it has to ban it. Yet it claims, in its new Section 28 transphobic “guidance” that this is beyond debate.

The longer you think about it, the more obviously absurd and dystopian it is that water is privatised and sold to us. The logical conclusion of the capitalist project of enclosure that stole the commons and other essential resources for life so they could be sold back to us for profit. Horrific.

The EHRC – the body which is meant to protect our human rights – is proposing guidance which would turn the Equality Act into a bathroom ban. If this becomes law, it would force trans people out of public life. And terrifyingly - this is all happening behind closed doors 🧵

This reporting implicitly admits that ‘gender critical’ activism equates to transphobia. Only a transphobe would object to what Tim Roca said, because he’s explicitly criticising transphobia. So The Telegraph and James Esses are upset that someone is criticising transphobia. Quite the admission.

In the year Starmer has been in office the UK has dropped from 16th to 22nd in ILGA’s European LGBTQ+ equality rankings. We’re currently 45th out of 49 in Europe for trans rights, following the FWS Supreme Court ruling.

⚠️ Hundreds of fascists rampaged through Epping, Essex on Thursday. They attacked anti-racists, fought with police, tried to break into a hotel housing refugees. ✊🏽 "If we weren’t there today, we don't know what would have happened to those refugees." Samira Ali, Stand Up To Racism buff.ly/KzpYmWg

Is Keir Starmer going to speak out about the second attack on a hotel where people seeking asylum live? No because he helps stoke riots up.

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"

Sam Altman just straight up admitting g that their new “AI” product is broken and unsafe. Anyone investing in this stuff deserves to lose every penny. Which they will, when this bubble inevitably bursts - though not before lots of people are hurt by it.

It’s bizarre that in the wake of a major global pandemic that has killed 7,000,000+ people, but was mitigated by vaccines, vaccine uptake continues to fall. Now preventable diseases are killing kids again. We should be proscribing antivaxxers as terrorists, not peace protestors.

The forests are literally dying. And they wonder why people don’t want to have kids anymore.

My GP, who is supportive, told me GPs are reluctant to help adult trans patients for fear of being sued by Christian groups and vengeful detransitioners (who are a minority btw). That is, religious groups are directly impacting trans healthcare through the intimidation of doctors and grifters.
