When I was talking about how Brits saying "we're illegal in Turkey I can't go there on holiday" are kinda overstating things in a blatantly racist way.. Look at how far we are behind Turkey on transphobia lol.

The Code of Practice will come into force on the 5th August. Here's what that means: goodlaw.social/3b7a2a

This is why the Philosophy Tube episode on conversion therapy in Britain was so carefully worded and went through lawyers first! It’s difficult to educate the public on topics that rich and powerful groups do not want people to know about

"Okay, your first mistake here is not letting the fire die out before putting the meat on the grill, but I honestly think your main issue is that you put a bear in charge of making the food."

EXCLUSIVE: How one racist tweet about a hotel housing asylum seekers set in motion fascist protests, a government crackdown on couriers, and the eviction of the hotel's residents. www.vashtimedia.com/fascists-v-t...

I investigated the influence of anonymous Twitter racist "Max Tempers". I was shocked by the level of access he has to the press and the government even though no one knows his real name.

This really isn't getting the traction it needs so if you could help, even by sharing...

Doing my regular thing of suggesting that we be super careful about (or relaly, I mean probably avoid) using terms like Jim Crow to describe UK's sex segregation rules, given the way that Jim Crow didn't just set black people apart for toilets but wholly different schools, transportation, etc.

In the UK, you can be arrested, charged, prosecuted and convicted if you do not disclose that you are trans before sex but a cis man doesn't have to declare if he has an STI.

Trans+ children and their families are living with the cumulative impact of a government targeting them and making their lives less safe, says @nancymk.bsky.social 

the video is about the quality of fast food but everything feels like this lately

something kinda moe about this its like walking into a kinokuniya and seeing which standee they have up this time

For those who don't remember, the CAN-SG is a spin off clinical group of SEGM (with largely overlapping founding leadership) who were previously largely controversial for their links to trump health policy and conversion therapy.

Vital analysis of how the EHRC have misled global human rights regulators and parliament about the nature of criticisms of the UK and the EHRC from the UN independent expert on sexual orientation and gender identity.

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

My Cousin Vinny: Ace Attorney Had to finally release this from my head

Head of the EHRC really did just say Phrenology will help solve the issue of transgenders in society

This gets to the root of my problem with "the problem is that it will affect cis women." The point is standing with trans women & girls RIGHT NOW is the action required to oppose this stuff. If you can't do that, responding down the line is pointless. Solidarity with trans women IS the resistance.

Can't agree more. There's no real benefit to only banning things in the conditions that they're not really commonly happening and having carve outs for the circumstances where they are happening quite a lot. That's not a ban it's a charter for legitimising a controversial and disproven practice.

As someone who has extensively researched conversion therapy promoters operating in the UK I have been raising alarms about the uselessness of the UK corporate charity sector in addressing the practical realities of it for several years now and unfortunately I was fucking right.

I've spent years working towards a ban on conversion practices, hoping to see a bill published. Today, I just feel so profoundly sad. As many others have noted, the draft has a carve out for "healthcare" so broad it makes a mockery of the idea this is a 'ban'. 1/2 www.gov.uk/government/p...

As I’ve said before, any serious attempt to ban conversion practices in Britain has to confront the fact that the NHS never stopped doing it. This draft bill not only fails, it explicitly gives “healthcare providers” permission to continue.

The absolute cruelty wrought by the EHRC, Judiciary and the Labour government has set human rights back decades. As bigots celebrate in FWS those of us on the frontlines are left to ponder our next steps in a country becoming increasingly as hostile as Mother Russia www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

FUCK

Btw this "a long term life on medication" is taking the exact same hormones in the exact same quantity that every other woman my age naturally produces, with all of the same effects It's fucking ridiculous to talk about it as if it's a life on opioids or something

when does the cat become prime minister

sometimes you read a bit and can't help but laugh and nod in agreement. yep, yep, yeeeeeeeeeeeep

What do you mean I’m supposed to work on the British sacred holiday of prime minister resignation day which comes round quicker every year

For @aftermath.site, I reviewed the Steam Machine. It costs $1049 base. It is beautifully designed. It might be one of the most important computers ever made, launched at the worst time imaginable. aftermath.site/steam-machin...

what a useless shitbag

“oh, you were serious about that?” of all the shit Iran’s government has asked for the most reasonable thing by far is for Israel to stop bombing the shit out of the entire Middle East at will

And Labour boasted about it! They bragged that they did more on immigration than the Tories did. They called ANN WIDDECOMBE woke for opposing putting trans women in men's prisons. They're PROUD of it all.

Any LGBT+ organisation which comes out uncritically celebrating whatever this ends up being – when Labour have just laid a trans bathroom ban before Parliament – will be showing their complete political uselessness.

I actually cannot imagine a nightmare worse than being sent to a men's prison. It's so transparently evil and unjust and no one cares at all

The Jo Cox slaying legacy seems similarly doomed to Brianna Ghey's memory: a constant plee to do anything other than recognise the root social causes.

I'm in my 20s. I grew up with social media. Without that and video games, I would have been so completely isolated. We should be making the world safer for kids, not trying to ban them from it.

U gonna implement a state bedtime too

It's also the present under Labour. I want to make it really clear: These photos aren't just a threat of a future under the far right. They are the present under a centre-right Labour government. Right now.
