This is now literally the lead story on BBC News Scotland. The employment situation of a private individual harassed via lawfare is deemed the main headline for national news. This is genuinely sickening. The media is a cancer upon this country.

I think one of the real challenges in discussing anything to do with trans people is that the media simply cannot accept that the anti-position is entirely eliminationist. There is no way to "exist in public whilst trans" that they will accept, right down to celebrating a doctor quitting.

👏👏👏

We're working for a world where our organisation doesn't need to exist, but for now we're very much needed. You can join our group of monthly donors, set up a fundraiser (such as bake sale or sponsored run), or make a one off donation at: tinyurl.com/DonateTransA... #Trans #TransFundraiser

A less transphobic press might start asking "How does driving a doctor out of Scotland help cut NHS wait times? Why is Scotland better with fewer doctors? Which other minority staff would you get rid of?"

TransActual and Trans+ Solidarity Alliance (@transsolidarity.bsky.social) joint statement on the EHRC Judicial Review Despite claims that the Supreme Court judgment brought ‘much needed clarity’, today’s ruling confirms it has brought nothing but chaos. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/02...

Interesting thread

It cannot be right that one’s right to use a particular loo depends upon which judge you might appear in front of, and can change day by day. So much for “clarity”. The SC ruling and how it’s been presented by the media has created confusion and fear, exactly as predicted 10 months ago.

There's now a steady stream of new research on exactly how Cass has caused harm. One of the most important is Cal Horton's article “The worst thing I’ve ever experienced”. This is the first study to look at patient experiences in England's new post-Cass Children and Young People’s Gender Service.

I've been out of the country for most of the last 3 weeks, and have been pondering my response to this. Most people expect the government to allow them to feel safe, and not target them without solid evidence. That's a reasonable position held for decades. Unless you're trans, especially young.

Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them! The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.

In a functional country, this would be a scandal. A service suffering only from chronic underfunding was ripped apart because the media created a myth of 1000s of complaints of malpractice. The truth - as in my family’s experience - was very different. www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/11/n...

Um, aren’t all words, like republican, made up? It’s why different languages have different words.

Today feels like a good day to remind people that electing the House of Lords was in the coalition agreement and Labour MPs united with Conservative backbenchers to block it. Because neither party wants the gravy train to stop.

It’s a sign of the times that I checked whether this page was in the web archive before I reposted this. A shame when you can’t trust the national broadcaster not to amend or remove a historic supportive piece because it’s supportive.

Reminder, this is an example of the BBC's own words in 2019, before they took a landslide into transphobic rhetoric: "Other common transphobic themes of online posts included misgendering people - purposefully labelling somebody as a gender that they do not identify as." bbc.co.uk/news/technol...

If Lords want to survive they must accept their role is scrutiny not undermining democracy This is a seminal moment for parliament. House of commons has the political supremacy & final say in lawmaking Those who say this Bill was not in manifesto miss the point-it passed in HoC & should prevail

"each and every death is a loss beyond words or measure." With that in mind, Appleby's "report" claiming only 6 deaths looks like an attempt to cover up bad news. And, as i told the PM a couple of weeks ago, making trans healthcare difficult or illegal to access doesn't stop people being trans.

Proud to have signed up to this when the group were in Westminster - I had not heard of it previously I know the majority of women are trans inclusive so let’s get this out wide and sign up many more women to @nionwomen.bsky.social

One ticket. 🤣🤣🤣

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

More members of Liz Truss's cabinet are in Reform than in Badenoch's shadow cabinet...

Did you love the Conservative Party 2019-2022? Good news! They’re back!

Wasn’t Suella Braverman Home Secretary during the two years when UK immigration hit its all-time high?

This is a remarkable analysis, and is also highly concerning. And this resonates based on my years in evangelical Christianity (up to 2004/5). And it’s also highly concerning because the *only* way back seems to be a huge number of 1-1 conversations. 1/2

Just had the opportunity to re-read and digest that Carney era-defining speech. Not only has he set out what Canada is already doing, he’s set out a blueprint of how others, like the UK, can join in. And the key thing - creating a system which isn’t based on assuming a good guy at the top.

Their pseudo-feminism abandons women. medium.com/@geekonaleas...

457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan. Trump avoided military service 5 times. How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

Trump's utterance that force would not be used against Greenland has no more weight than any other of his utterances, and it certainly does not amount to him "ruling out" the use of force in any meaningful way. Disappointing to see so many news outlets place that construction on what he said.

Intersex surgeries on babies actually match the anti-trans moral panic’s claims a lot better than trans people existing does. Yet there are consistent carve outs in anti trans bills so it can continue!

So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu. Which if you wrote in a satire would be considered too outlandish and sent back.

This is a remarkable speech. Very well worth reading carefully in full.

“giving up Chagos was stupid and this proves you should therefore give up Greenland”

💯 UK media used "trans woman" for decades, but now claims an 8 word phrase is "clearer?" 🐂💩. See also terms used for immigrants. Trump-friendly US media use this tactic to legitimise persecution of people the Administration targets. UK media dehumanising of trans people has the same goal.

As I was saying: denmarkification.com

What makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin. “No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.” EVERYTHING has changed.

That 'BBC boycott' in full

I’ve been stalwart backer of transatlantic alliance all my life. I understand why Europeans have so far trod softly/tried to keep Trump onside. But, there comes a time when you have to face reality. The US is no longer our ally. Its defense guarantee is worthless. Time to kick ass back🧵

I think we should put 15% tariffs on US imports unless they agree to give New England to the UK. The clue is in the name. Make America Great Britain Again.
