The equality and human rights commission under the new Labour appointed chief is snubbing trans rights organisations (which it has a public sector duty to engage with) in favour of anti trans rights organisations (which it has a obligation to at listen to, but which are not a protected group).

My main argument about transphobes not all being obviously maliciously intended is partly because the "good intentions" are structured to facilitate harm also. I think maybe a better framework than intention and malice (personal, psychological) is Values communicated (social, organisational)

Your Sunday morning long read ⬇️ If you’re not trans and you think trans people protest too much… I’m the mother of Alice a trans woman who died by suicide… this stuff matters…mainstream media isn’t reporting it because they’re complicit in it… Here’s why trans people and allies alike protest…

I've written a blog aimed at cis ppl, on the recent revelations of rising trans suicide rates since NHS England removed gender affirming care for u18s, in particular about my involvement with trying to seek the truth and the trauma the gaslighting by Appleby, Streeting, Cass and the media causes.

This sickens me so deeply because anyone who knew young people and their families within the trans community knew this was true. Could viscerally feel the damage that has been done to a whole generation. And the instinct from Labour was not to address the harm – it was to cover it up. Unforgivable.

That £240m contract Palantir won after Peter Mandelson took Keir Starmer to visit them? Government asserts "there were robust processes in place to ensure that government contracts are awarded fairly and transparently" but the award notice says it was a "directed award", ie without any competition.

Fitting that Streeting, who rose by carrying water for the worst people in the world, should fall for the same reason.

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

In these dark days of February, a little something to look forward to.

BREAKING: Peter Mandelson just sent this secret notice to all UK media, demanding they leave him alone. He uses IPSO clauses designed to support grieving families in a bid to stop scrutiny of his relationship with Epstein We have published it in full. www.thenational.scot/news/2583451...

Hello! I'm looking to speak to anyone who works, or has worked in a diversity position at a major studio or publisher (or whatever it's been called at that company, inclusive growth, DEI, whatever!). Conversations can be 100% anon, of course, via DM here or email lukeATaftermathDOTsite. Thanks!

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Okay but Zack Polanski has been coming out with bangers

Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af

Dude you just look dumb and incompetent for this incredible stuff

Wes Streeting wants people to forget. Never let him forget.

Damn what's going on in France rn and can we get some

Sorry you’re saying these lords are appointed not elected and they sit for How Long??? Bruh

It's pretty clear to us that implementation of the Sullivan 'review' breaches UK GDPR obligations. EU GDPR, identical to ours, says you can't process data about the sex assigned at birth of trans people unless there is a very good reason for doing so. And we are active in this space.

📣 Today @felicitycallard.bsky.social and I have published the first peer-reviewed response to the 'Sullivan Review' of research and data on sex and gender. doi.org/10.1111/tran... The Review could threaten trans rights and inclusion, erode academic freedom, and undermine research quality.

was epstein uniquely responsible for evil or is he just the one obscenely wealthy person whose emails we're getting to read

When I was translating Kon Satoshi, in order to understand him better I spent time reading his personal blog. I'll never forget him writing "They say what Aronofsky is doing is an "homage." I know my English isn't great, but I don't understand the difference between "homage" and being "ripped off."

Unsurprising move for known quack and unrepentant Satoshi Kon plagiarist tbh

“leading her to take risks with her personal safety“ what risks for her personal safety??? Being trans??? Being trans and going outside in the park to meet peers from school????

This is like banning sandwiches because Brianna had that for lunch before being brutally murdered in a hate attack.

Re-upping this article in the Guardian Oz, about my research into the extreme harm being caused by Wes Streeting's puberty-blocker ban. UK mainstream media has collectively ignored my research (as I expected) but not the Guardian Australia. Needless the UK and US Guardian's didn't share it.

This Postman Situation is CONCERNING

reading wikipedia's "List of Racial Slurs" every morning to gain a deep understanding of how the other side thinks

I know there's long been a similar problem in the USA but there's nuances I guess. But I think the fate of public ideas around politics in the UK is much less to do with American foreign policy directly and much more about the fact the same billionaires that own everything in your country own ours.

The fundamental problem is that we have no effective regulation of the media here, our public service broadcaster is just very obviously regime media and our major privately run news publications are all owned by billionaires with editorial agendas that distort reality and degrade human rights.

Guardian soft-soaping this vile low-life that stripped the citizenship of a brown girl who had been trafficked leaving her stranded while pregnant to lose another baby, just so he could prove himself to racists. And they have the gall with that constant yellow begging bowl of a pop-up on every page.

Good News: On my last follow up, my FFS surgeon was confident things were okay. Bad News: The whole process was way more expensive than I anticipated and all the money I had set aside to help me get through my revision next month is now gone. ko-fi.com/faerynn/goal...

I just want to remind people that when we talk about creating a "British ICE" and a concentration camp as somehow copying America, we already had the previous Tory government set up a concentration camp run by British military personnel for asylum seekers rapidly shut down after legal battles.

We have ICE in the UK. They do everything ICE in America did up till a few months ago, and if you think what ICE is now doing in America can't happen here I have a bridge to sell you. And no – they're not regular police. They work directly for the Home Office.

URGENT: Very important action by @goodlawproject.bsky.social Transphobes are trying to infiltrate the Council of Europe to roll back LGBTQ+ human rights by writing en masse to MPs on the CoE. Please use this tool to write to those MPs to counter this. Do it now. We have a week. Please share.

counter point: bigots don't deserve dignity while they refuse to give the same to others. Fuck em lmao.

Crazy no Guy Fawkes 2 especially with an evil billionaire conference. Perfect rise in stakes for a sequel.

i'm from the european country with a spotless history which does not benefit in any way from american imperialism and definitely doesn't help supply the US military and support their operations, so i get to act smug at american citizens i think. boo, american citizens, boo
