This did not make the front page of the NYT, which means the NYT is now state media. Unsubscribe and ignore.

Finally, Rachel Reeves does something good.

inally finished drafting the sermon (on Jeremiah 31:27-34) I'm giving at our 11am (BST) worship service tomorrow. I haven't preached a sermon in ages but I'm pretty happy with the way it's come out. #Worship #FaithfullyLGBT The service will be livestreamed at: www.inclusive.church/worship/

"The Greens could be on their way to replacing Labour as Britain’s major left-wing force come the next UK vote. Should that happen, then Labour and the Tories deserve to share the same gravestone." @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Aside from the senseless cruelty from our so called Human Rights body, The absurdity of requiring that every UK business seeks legal advice on how & whether they should attempt to segregate Trans people. What a monumental waste of money, time & resources to spend on lawyers.

I think it would have surprised even the most pessimistic if you'd told people during the 2024 campaign that a year into Government Starmer's team would be negatively briefing against the ECHR and Council of Europe for daring to question their assault on trans rights

Exhibit E

Exhibit D

Exhibit C

Exhibit B

Starmer's vile Labour 'Government' being battered on all sides today in regards to the UKs repeated human rights violations against the trans community.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

And it's still not illegal in the UK - despite governments saying they'll introduce a ban for the last DECADE! Also, NHS trans youth care is now nothing BUT conversion therapy.

Which shows the NHS clinics are deliberately held back.

This article shows that the NHS has made a deliberate choice to subject trans people to a so-called healthcare programme that is not fit for the first quarter of the 21st Century. How do we know it’s deliberate? Because they knew ten years ago it was not fit for purpose, but did nothing about it.

This is Graham Linehan, who UKLabour, WesStreeting and every columnist in the country rushed to defend when he was arrested by police, after inciting online violence and smashed a trans girl’s phone. They are even changing the law specifically to protect him. “Just a joke” @mrjamesob.bsky.social

We've just had a trans woman locked up for years over enthusiastically consented sex, because it's now possible to withdraw that consent long after the fact so long as the other person is trans. This government is leading the charge against "LGBT+ communities".

Deeply cynical hypocrisy from Starmer's obsessively anti-Trans+ Labour Government "The UK is unwavering in its commitment to the protection and promotion of human rights for all, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other LGBT+ individuals We are deeply concerned... 1.

Max Sumner 17 Jason Pulman 15 Danny France 17 Charlie Millers 17 Nex Benedict 16 Vigil Rhone 15 Corei Hall 14 Leia Sampson-Grimbly 17 REST IN POWER

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.

My heart grieves for Leia Dorothy Pandora Sampson-Grimbly. "Leia was 17 years old at the time she died a beautiful person inside and out, complex, kind, fair, intelligent, determined, dedicated and talented with a great future ahead of her and greatly loved by all who knew her". Remember her.

As I understand it, the ‘brains develop until they’re 25’ factoid simply means brains continue developing indefinitely, and 25 was the end point of the studies only because it was an age that everyone understood was well into adulthood. We need fewer credulous idiots giving credence to bigots.

"support at a potentially vulnerable stage in a trans person's journey" The feigned concern for the imaginary trans people they invented in their heads, because they never listen to any real trans people 😒

“They are threatening social service referrals and taking our legal NHS repeat meds off us. The ICB must have broken every data protection law. They asked to look at what meds our children are on. We refused access to our NHS data, they broke it anyway.”👇

..politicians, and activists are either enabling or normalising it - as if this cruelty is somehow acceptable [it's not - obviously] We must call this out for what it is: a systemic and institutional violation of human dignity, a betrayal of trust, basic humanity, and an urgent crisis 2.

This is happening right now, across the UK – affecting thousands of young Trans+ people who are simply trying to be themselves and thrive Young Trans+ people being inflicted with unspeakable mental and physical suffering And all the while, anti-trans medical professionals, media figures,.. 1.

If EVERYTHING you think you know about trans people has been learnt from social and mainstream media over the past 10 years, and not an actual trans person, it's probably 80% garbage. Talk to a real trans person. Read a book published before 2015. We are anything but new, and We. Are. Going. Nowhere

Men walk free who have raped women. Yet, an innocent woman gets 21 months in jail for being a woman.

Jailed for 21 months for being trans is an egregious attack on trans people's human rights.

I want them all prosecuted. Every last one of them.

Not a statement anyone should ever have had to make

I reviewed a book about why the UK nuclear industry has declined and there were many reasons but I swear the author didn't mention gender identity once

There is nothing Badenoch cares more about than hating trans people so of course she has to throw that in and of course she does it in the crassest, thickest, most nonsensical way possible

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract. The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Most Trans+ people in the UK will wait more than a third of their adult life to get their first appointment at an NHS gender clinic, and some will never receive care, QueerAF can reveal 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/gender-clini...

They simply cannot decide whether or not they want us to speak the language.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

*deep sigh* Again, I have an English degree and have contributed rather extensively to the British economy, including writing a show that pumped £10 million into Wales. But the stupidity is the point here, of course.

I have to say that given all of the shit that's going on in the UK right now I'm rather glad to be out of the country at the moment. Even if I do have to go back on Sunday. Oh well. 🤦‍♀️

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

You cannot have "discourse" with people bent on your destruction.

Conservative politician defending Trans+ people at their conference. “What they can’t understand – and what they hate – is that trans people exist. I know it’s inconvenient for their binary view of the world, but trans people have been around for thousands of years and they don’t like it.”

One very very lonely Tory voice on the letters page of The Times. Sorry, Robert. It’s too late. Your party has gone completely nuts. Driven mad by 14 years of failure, Farage and your monumentally stupid Brexit. You can ask them to put the petrol can down but they’re mesmerised by the fire.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

If you can't see how this will end, then you're not paying attention (not least to what's going on on the other side of the Atlantic).

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

UK fascism update, Oct 2025. The Prime Minister is saying that things he doesn't want to happen are "un-British", and the de facto leader of the Tory Party says he didn't see any white faces in a particular place (pejorative)

"Women can do anything!" Also "Women need to be protected from meeting trans people in case they just literally die."

There are now TWELVE (possibly 13...) peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review. I have listed them all on my blog, now updated with links to all of them. Trying to keep it as up-to-date as possible. For a fuller list, @notrightruth.bsky.social has them all here; ruthpearce.net/2024/04/16/w...

Some nature progamme on BBC atm and I walked in just as the guy was under the sea talking about 'gamete traps' and I hope no terfs are watching it for ideas.
