They're going to force job seekers into care roles, I can feel it, and I can't stress enough how bad that would be for service users. Vulnerable people entirely reliant on care givers who don't want to be there is a terrifying prospect. I've seen first hand what carers who don't care are like.

Our comrades, our hunger strikers, have been starving for 5 weeks in protest of the state's oppression of Palestinian activists and continued participation in Israeli apartheid and genocide. If you have not done anything to support them, start now. ##SupportTheHungerStrikers

The only person to come out of the SPeggie/NHS tribunal vindicated and with a completely untarnished reputation is Dr Beth Upton. Not SPeggie, Not the NHS management, Not Four Women Scotland, Not the media, Just Dr Upton.

all the fake AI trash really contradicts one of the main ways we're told capitalism operates, with capitalists identifying wants/needs & developing products & services to meet those. turns out you can skip that step & just pretend. nigh everyone hates AI and it makes no money but it's everywhere

Radio 4 and BBC and Channel 4 News and all the papers completely skewing the Peggie story so your average person will have no idea what actually happened. Doesn’t this make you furious? Integrity in journalism is dead, not just in the US

As I was on the way to catch a train in Cardiff last night I saw on the wall of the School of Journalism it said "A free press is the most watchful sentry of the state. A 'yes' press is fatal to good government." I grimly noted that it's right next to the BBC building.

If you’re tired of explaining yourself and the misreporting of the Peggie tribunal to your lazy and ignorant friends save your energy and send them this. open.substack.com/pub/ajustsoc...

The tribunal seemed very unimpressed by the fact that Peggie waited around to challenge Upton, and considered this an impermissible manifestation of her beliefs.

All the claims against Dr. Beth Upton failed. She’s entirely vindicated and her evidence was found more reliable. Let’s see if a single paper actually represents that fairly…

"...unless that person is trans, in which case it doesn't even qualify as harassment."

You know, infuriating and a shameful betrayal though the BBC and other media's misreporting of the Sandie Peggie judgment is, it also doesn't really matter. What matters is the judgment which lawyers will read, use to advise their clients, and inclusion will be the winner.

The BBC News at Six is highly misleading. They present the story as if the bigot has won the case, which is false. To make matters worse, they end with their editor reading a proclamation “of the Supreme Court” that is entirely incorrect.

Just want others in the trans community to know that stuff like this is only possible because of the extreme hard work of really good allies most of whom you will never see or hear from. But they are willing to fight for us at immense personal cost, when others back down. This is my cheers to them.

She won her case like you won the general election.

"[The Tribunal held that] Mrs Peggie had in some of her remarks impermissibly manifested her gender critical beliefs" So there *is* a floor on this thing. They *can't* just say whatever the hell they like under the banner of protected beliefs. That'll come as a shock to some of them, I'm sure

Decision in the Sandie Peggie case. She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

We deserve better than this

Only first instance but this feels quite significant - it was lawful, post For Some Women Scotland, to offer trans inclusive workplace toilets.

I was gunna put it off, but I'm just gunna share cos people are feeling hopeless: I have secured 10s of 1000s of pounds (so far) to buy property that will form the start of a social housing system for trans people, that will charge you the local housing authority rate for your rent. 1/?

Men don’t have to “pretend to be women” to enter women’s locker rooms, changing rooms, and bathrooms. Famously, Donald Trump just strolled right in

But what if the "thing of their own" is a friendship with a girl in Guides who happens to be trans? I honestly think Rowling has lost touch with how real people's lives actually work. And, also, Rowling's movement is gearing up to get girls kicked out of Scouts, so this "answer" is horseshit.

All together now... 🎶 They were never going to stop with trans people 🎵

There's not much left of the rule of law if organisations can be financially bullied into not asserting their legal rights. goodlaw.social/sb50

Whilst it is absolutely true that the lawfare deployed against charities in particular, but also many other businesses, is an existential threat to them, I think it is also fair for us to be furious that the choice is always "fuck them trannies" and continued existence.

One of the girl guide leaders has set up this petition to oppose the decision - there's a lot of backlash from within girl guiding www.change.org/p/allow-tran...?

I find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

NZ doctors showing some backbone. Shame most of ours appear to have capitulated.

This is a good outcome, but it’s still astounding that it took a debate about just one group’s fundamental rights to get there. No other group’s human rights needed to be debated…

Imagine telling trans people it is good news that a bunch of people voted on if they should support us publicly and 70% said yes. Do you hear yourselves? When are they voting on if they should support you?

The other thing about the OU student who wrote the bad essay on God-given gender roles is that she herself is rejecting those religious ideals about femininity by going to college, playing a sport, and having a mother who is a media personality and lawyer for Jan 6ers. Trad for thee but not for me

Obviously this is bad, and it opens to grounds for skewed data that NHSE, and soon enough the DHSC, can use to 'cook' the numbers. By looking at a rising number of detransitioners, the DHSC can use that to justify its pub blck usage whilst being the culprits that lead to that rise in the 1st place

northwestbylines.co.uk/news/health/... @nhsengland.bsky.social destroyed kids lives by forceably detransitioning them. This should be front page news (It won't be of course). Please share this widely. Cc @pinknews.bsky.social, @itsjoshmilton.bsky.social or @goodlawproject.org

Really worried this woman is going to have to sell her £2million and maybe, sorry, welling up here, maybe have to buy a £1million house like a piece of SHIT.

Most parents aren’t trans. When we have babies we don’t consider we may have a trans child. When we find out we do, most admit to a moment or period of ‘What? Why? When? Help! Then we get on with caring for our child. But our affirmative care is being challenged. Here a mum shares her thoughts.

It is genuinely insane to see a judge describe Graham Linehan as a “generally credible witness” in a trial where he claimed Sophia Brooks has been engaged in “trans activism” since 2013 (when she would’ve been 6 years old), then, when challenged, claimed her drivers license lied about her age.

I can not emphasise how rigged against trans people the application of law is within the UK. There are clear evidence of sympathies throughout the police and judiciary with what are essentially far-right vehicles for civil unrest and division. 1/2

Welcome to the UK, where minors are blocked from accessing porn but it's perfectly legal for a grown man to shout about sissy hypno porn in a minors face.

Strong yes. All too often the law is used as a tool by dark money funded right wing activists to silence those who push back. We employed our defamation lawyer to try and level the playing field.

When Streeting dismisses parents who support their trans kids whilst positively engaging with those who recommend and use conversion practices on their kids and who are oftentimes estranged from their kids; or the kids say their parent’s behaviour left them suicidal, you have to ask,why is he such 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
