descending to the level of a typical british courtroom, disgusting

The BBC are under fire over "censorship"of right wing views lately but here they censor the language of their own executive complaints unit, replacing the neutral and internationally accepted term "trans identity", with the politically partisan and inherently trans-skeptical term, "trans ideology".

"warrior bands"

“biological sex” is an invention of the gender reveal party supplies industry

Evolutionary psychologists have long believed that men prefer physical traits in women which are cues to high potential fertility. A new review concludes: “current evidence base is too weak to support the claim that women’s feminine morphological traits are associated with reproductive potential”

“I have not found one single instance of a straight person risking, helping, protecting a queer and trans person during this history. Not a single one. And that’s a hard pill to swallow" 19thnews.org/2025/10/lgbt...

The “gender-critical” concept of sex as a teleological “pathway” is so unreal it’s on creationist levels of unreal.

The Supreme Court FWS judgment is so strikingly a work of confabulation. It conjures up multiple types of "sex" ab novo, refuses to define the abstraction that it arbitrarily centres, and justifies it by pointing to a handful of concrete examples that don't align with its own assumptions.

"“Normal” testosterone levels are largely based on studies from high-income populations that do not account for diverse ecological conditions known to influence physiology. This study highlights complex relationships that exist among age, adiposity & testosterone patterns in subsistence populations"

Was intrigued by the shield on this building, showing a grasshopper and a liver bird. Turns out it was the branding of Martins Bank, which was taken over by Barclays in 1969.

Just days after saying there was no place for transphobia in her new party Zarah Sultana cheered recruiting anti-trans trade unionist Mark Serwotka. Mark now saying exactly what you'd expect - that he intends to expunge the trans rights movement from Your Party to bring in anti-trans campaigners.

Not turning my back on the good idea “defenestrate Labour in its entirety”

This is truly abhorrent. It is child abuse. And it is being conducted by the NHS. This stuff needs to be out there. Where are the LGBTQ+ journalists on this? Why is there such a universal conspiracy of silence regarding such systematic abuse of children? These kids need help!

forgot that the original “turing test” paper actually kicks off with “assigning gender” and builds from there it really is just asserting “you can’t always tell”

Halloween isn’t over till I say it’s over

Yes.

Clearly @mariecgoldman.bsky.social has completely fucked it with her post, and worse is that a day later there is zero response to the community pushback. No apology, explanation, recension or retraction. Just a “screw trans people” bomb then silence.

"Can you tell me about a time when ..." No, my mind is blanking as I try to pull up an example of me displaying a soft skill proficiency. Decades of experience, but conveying it, complimenting myself, is impossible. None of the "STAR" reply practice helps. Frozen, the silence stretches on and on.

Saw a news report yesterday about children as young as 9 being given weight loss jabs on the NHS, and I think it shows just how utterly bullshit the “lack of research into long term impacts” excuse for banning puberty blockers for trans kids really was. It’s purely ideological.

YES! Melodrama season with a liberal sprinkling of Douglas Sirk… I’m in. homemcr.org/theme/too-mu...

Another example of why trans people can’t trust the Lib Dems one inch

You can't help but think - do these ppl understand we're *actual human beings*? Do they understand / care about the implications of being forced thru humiliating & degrading rteatment whenever you leave the house? Of the very essence of who you are being outright rejected?

There is a smack of pygmalion about it that I dislike intensely

Love this shot and story from The Burnley Express

It’s M3GAN 2.0 branded Lemon Fanta, apparently

Update on what's going on with my dentist. Email screenshot below. Basically they're saying dentists use a different system to the rest of the NHS, no NHS numbers, and the NHS Dentists Business Services Authority have told them they can't use anything other than birth gender without a GRC. FFS!

Friendly reminder: these are the rights we all have under the ECHR. They're not just for a privileged few They're for EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US

The absolute state of journalism in Britain

Good to see Green MPs help vote down Farage's attempt to destroy our rights against - torture - slavery and forced labour - discrimination - And rights TO a fair trial - freedom of thought, expression, conscience, and religion. ALL enshrined by the ECHR Proud to be part of such a principled team!

More Lib Dems voted against withdrawing from the ECHR than Labour MPs did. Absolutely inexcusable from Labour.

A reminder that the UK’s ban on LGBT people serving in the armed forces was only lifted after a judgment from the European Court of Human Rights. 🔗 www.bbc.com/news/article... via www.bbcnews.com #ECHR #OurRightsAndFreedoms #Article8 #PrivateLife #MeddlingForeignCourt #CreditWhereItsDue

Qld top court overturns puberty blocker ban. The court agreed that there was too much political interference. The judge found in our favour on 3 grounds - in particular it rules that consultation was inadequate & that irrelevant factors were taken into account. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Little bit of Luca Bosani out here in Lancashire

A surpassingly odd book about the war between insects and electricity (yep) which I half read many years ago and abandoned when moving house. Prohibitively expensive to replace but finally found a copy for a quid in the “charity book dump” of a medieval museum.

Have you been affected by Virgin Active’s ban on trans people in bathrooms and changing rooms? We want to hear from you. If you’re a trans or gender diverse member of Virgin Active, tell us about your experiences here: goodlawproject.org/about/contac...

Wait, the EHRC paid SurveyMind only £45,000? That's all that this superpowered and highly auditable AI analysis of >50,000 consultation responses was worth? www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/67475...

I know the EHRC is stonewalling (sic) on releasing any information about their use of AI to analyse "consultation" results. But it caught my eye that the government is using the same approach elsewhere, here with 50,000 responses being analysed with an AI approach in less than 2 hours.

‘In time, thanks to dogged work by investigative journalists, it emerged that Wakefield had selectively edited medical histories to fit his spurious hypothesis, while invasive procedures such as colonoscopies and lumbar punctures had been conducted on children without approval.’

PC winning in Caerphilly is a bloody nose for Reform and a bloody guillotine for Labour. Lovely stuff.

Equality and Human Rights Commission FAIL Its not just trans, its EHRC Incompetence... disabled people have been failed also. Close the EHRC now. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/ehrc-struggl...

ALL: please spread far and wide. The Trans Exile Network was aware of preparations for this and supports it. We will release a PR of our own shortly also. Note that Amnesty are supporting. There will also be more from TEN shortly on another initiative. Stay safe transactual.org.uk/blog/2025/10...
