The majority of the UK media, encouraged by the UK's equality body, is waging a campaign to encourage the public, employers and health providers to harass anyone who doesn't fit their definition of what a woman should look like. This is what JK Rowling is funding.

A minister putting their name to this is political suicide.

Isn't it about time the other authors of the Cass Report were also named...?

It's always surprising how cheap these people are to buy

🏳️‍⚧️ Last night, as vigils marking Trans Day Of Remembrance were held across Scotland, The Herald gave an award to For Women Scotland naming them Campaigners of the Year. These awards were sponsored by ScottishPower, a company who regularly champions diversity.

Notice how this is in the National and not the Guardian...

i’ve been sort of peripherally aware of enoch burke for a while but it was only seeing this article that i saw how absolutely batshit insane his whole family is, leading me to discover this incredible paragraph on his family’s wikipedia page

Quite why Maya Forstater thinks her views are more important than the sizeable majority who voted to keep the ponds trans inclusive, as they always have been. But she does. She and her gazillionaire backers have a hearing in the High Court next month - and we're fighting back. goodlaw.social/vs0d

We are now accepting enquiries from parents of trans kids currently in Key Stages 3 and 4 for our trial half-term in 2026. Full details: www.essehouse.co.uk/the-esse-house-school

Marjorie Taylor Greene managed to tolerate being subjected to the sort of abuse, that she has subjected trans people to for years, for approximately one week.

The police will use facial recognition and other stuff, including SelectaDNA spray, at today's Arsenal v Spurs match, saying they use it when they have intelligence of trouble and I honestly can't remember the last time there was trouble between Arsenal and Spurs fans, especially at the Emirates

Streeting is admitting that the Pathways “trial” already has a predetermined outcome. Stuffing it with SEGM placeholders is evidence of this. The only way we are going to end state-mandated torture of trans kids is to get Labour out of government completely.

The government’s plan to review refugee status every 30 months is unworkable and extremely costly - and applying it retrospectively to people already granted protection will make an unmanageable system even worse.

#COP30 ended with #FoodSystems missing from the deal—even as Brazil served delegates 80 tonnes of local, #agroecological food.🌱 Elisabetta Recine: “Food solutions were everywhere around COP30 – but none of this made it into the final agreement.” Our reaction: ipes-food.org/cop30-ends-w...

Watching Inter Milan v AC Milan and wondering why all the players, the ref and some in the crowd have red marks on their face. Turns out it's a campaign to raise awareness of violence against women and has been running 9 years. football-italia.net/why-serie-a-...

Trans Safety Network are extremely concerned that DHSC are continuing to solicit input on trans healthcare from Bayswater and other anti trans groups after a reply to our previous concerns stated they would not work with groups who promote harmful practices or discriminatory views

I would also note how Streeting has fully adopted the "children with gender incongruence" phrasing

So someone asked him for an example of racism that isn't hurtful or insulting, right?

This is vital context to Zia Yusuf's attacks on @zackpolanski.bsky.social. Few people have paid attention to how Yusuf made his millions. He sold "ultimate luxuries" to the mega rich. Yusuf is desperately trying to torpedo the idea that him and his mates should be taxed.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Guy on my friend's Facebook is on his third day running of doubling down on how appalled he is that some part of Birmingham where he used to live is "85% Muslim!" and I said "Northumberland is over 97% white WHY WON'T THEY INTEGRATE" and he called me "disingenuous and stupid" hahahaha

Hopefully the knowledge that advanced degrees ward off the most insecure men on the planet will encourage more women to pursue PhDs

Seeing a lot of people I frankly thought better of misunderstanding this. It means case by case re. the service provider not the individuals using the service. This is how the Equality Act has worked for years - with providers having to justify exclusion as proportionate.

"While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free" Eugene V Debs

Using Golden Ticket to describe people who have fled war and destitution to legally seek asylum. An internationally recognized legal right that the UK is treaty bound to recognize is pure cruelty and evil. It is the language of Nazis, of deportations, of camps and life unworthy of life. Evil.

I'm glad the Green Party exists, because imagine if this was the UK left's best attempt at trying to capitalize on the mass disillusionment with conservative governance. A political class more fixated on trans women's genitals than trans women are has brought the UK to the brink of collapse.

These affirmations of anti trans ideology come at the cost of children subject to abusive parenting who often have no choice or opportunity to escape this abuse and nowhere to find support that they need, let alone affirming supportive adults to care for them.

Conversion therapy activitist groups like Genspect spread narratives to unwitting parents which validate the idea that they are at war with their child's identity, victims of a trans ideology, validating the parents rejection of their child's identity as a positive assertion of personal boundaries.

The latest Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies is out, and it's a doozy: a special issue on "Dynamics of Transphobic Content and Disinformation". With topics including Youtube, Mumsnet, LGB Alliance, Chinese TERFs, and transvestigators, this is an vital read! bulletin.appliedtransstudies.org

Another day, another bullshit tribunal from someone who's obviously a transphobe exploiting the broken English legal system with Rowling's money to punish colleagues for not wanting a transphobe working with them

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Impossible to find a more mid-Noughties stock image than this one of Nell McAndrew and Chris Tarrant launching the 13th Year of Tesco's "Computers For Schools" at Snowsfields Primary School in Southwark (2004). I'm sorry, but can you IMAGINE anything like this happening today?!

People saying “going out with” about the teens exploited by Epstein are quite the special sort

Not seeing this being referred to as a white male grooming gang, which it is.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Peter Thiel’s company Palentir, has a massive data contract with the NHS.

Britain keeps doing this. Non consensual choking is a real issue in the UK. But rather than ban the 'rough sex' defence in murder trials, take sexual assault seriously, or improve sex education, they're just banning a type of porn.

The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

But what alarms me in all this is how the girls who were victimized by these men are largely forgotten. I want us to find ways of centering them in the discourse.

The Epstein files are clearly more damning than we assumed, which is saying something.

Excited for Wes Streeting's platform for leadership which I assume will be "Destroying the NHS to eradicate transgenderism from our isles."

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Here's my plea to the government, media and everyone else to stop treating NHS administrators as a problem to be eliminated, rather than the glue which holds the whole organisation together.

Given that Peter Thiel is mentioned in the Epstein Files, this article in @prospectmagazine.co.uk is an important read about his company, Palentir controlling our NHS data. Why is the government not protecting us from companies like this? app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/71511/...
