The crazy thing is, today's Labour party are in fact considerably to the right of many of Maggie's positions. What a time to be alive.

If trans women use men’s toilets, they will be subjected to humiliation, abuse and violence. Anyone with any sense knows this. Which is why in practice trans women will not use men’s toilets, and will just increasingly be driven out of society.

I can see that UK trans people are going to need a green book of their own.

Please, everyone. When you are talking about the UK bathroom.ban, make sure to call it "The Labour bathroom ban". We need to permanently attach it to their brand, and inflict reputational damage on them.

This, completely this. "Dignity and respect" is their stock phrase, and it's code for "We don't care and are taking away your rights".

The Guardian profited off stigmatising us and is now perhaps eager to profit off lamenting the tragedies wrought by that profiteering. Still, making such a statement now is better than continuing to vilify us when such vilification has grown to outlandish, unbelievable proportions. One cookie.

Same feeling as kind words from labour MPs. Like its YOUR PARTY. Your wearing a red armband and sadly shaking your head to show you disagree. Ge the fuck away from me how dare you actually

Anyway here’s the passage of Judith Butler that the Guardian censored years ago

there’s not a “this you?” big enough for the Guardian publishing this

Today on Jenny's Bench, reputational damage as a weapon against a #trans bathroom bill. ko-fi.com/post/When-Yo...

If you see egregious anti trans discrimination post EHRC guidance, such as bathroom signs etc, get a good photo and if possible include something in shot that identifies the company or organisation involved. Then upload to Wikimedia Commons. Bad practice must result in reputational damage.

Ok. The UK is likely to bring in a batbroom ban today. Oddly it's a popcorn moment, expect it to go horribly wrong for them as cis women get violently bathroom policed by self-appointed protectors of public morality. No, it's not good for those victims. But it's not of trans people's making.

We’ve been lucky to receive high-profile support since we started our campaign, and we know visibility and vocal allyship matters. It doesn’t come much higher than Sandi Toksvig, who’s done so much for women’s equality and inclusion. Thank you 🙏 notinourname.org.uk

Remember to call it Labour’s bathroom ban as they love to claim ownership of progressive legislation they’ve brought in so they need to claim ownership of segregation as well

This will hang around the necks of the Labour Party forever. They are finished.

Wow. Just wow. I am looking forward to Labpur politicians expecting their cookie from this for Supporting The Gays, and instead being pilloried for their treatment of trans people.

Working hard today on finishing Trans Rescue's "How to get out" book. It's a distillation of what we know, aimed at Brits and Americans. Iit's been a huge amount of work over the last six months, the reason I have done no videos. Will be online for free, eventually also a physical book.

UK press taken over by hate speech warriors latest:

If the Labour party had adopted proportional representation, they wouldn't be in the fix they are now.

the guardian editorial staff are right now, as we speak, marshalling their arguments to prevent a potential leftward swing inside the labour party from disrupting their precious crackdown on trans people brace for THE GUARDIAN VIEW: WHY PUBLIC TOILETS MUST REMAIN AT THE HEART OF LABOUR POLICY

A lot of UK trans people are very worried by yesterday's election. I'd like to remind everyone not to panic. One local election doesn'tt mean the far right run the country. You have time. Prepare. There are ways to get out. Not all are for rich people. It may be difficult but it's not hopeles.

on the plus side, the Rotten Boroughs section of Private Eye will be going up to 2 pages.

This may be one of my most controversial opinions. The Star Wars framchise jumped the shark years ago.

Thinking about the Reform "vote Green get illegals" thing, it shows a deep lack of understanding of people who don't vote Reform. Far right voters' worst fears involve proximity to brown people. They seem unaware that this isn't necessarily the case for the left wing voters who might vote Green.

I happened on a story I researched after the last UK general election. It seems a lot as though the UK Labour Party threw one of their candidates under the bus in a winnable seat, to avoid having a trans MP in their ranks. Mastodon link, sorry. mastodon.social/@JennyList/1...
