I've now completed profiles of all Conversion Therapy and Gender Critical groups listed in Amnesty International UK's anti-rights report. What struck me is how few people are involved in each of these astroTERF entities, many of which are just a few people. www.transgendermap.com/issues/group...

"The chaotic collapse of Peter Thiel’s secret society for the global elite "The billionaire’s exclusive annual gathering has been cancelled after its guest list and eccentric agenda were hacked" [Telegraph]

Spain and Argentina trying to aggressively bore us all to death

Laura Kuenssberg, Andrew Neil, and the BBC apparatus which gave Cambridge Analytica a chance to undermine @carolecadwalla.bsky.social’s investigation before it was published, called law breaking ‘rule breaking’, demeaned her as a mad cat lady, and fluffed Farage, deserve all the ignominy of history

Lucy Powell: "What [Andy Burnhams] saying is that the political & economic model that has governed this country for the last 40 years.. he wants to radically rewrite that political & economic model" 30 seconds later later: "He is going to stick to our manifesto"

PETER FALK’s gravestone at Westwood Village Memorial Park — Los Angeles “I’m Not Here - I’m Home With Shera”

NEW Stewart Lee column The shocking death of Ann Widdecombe was greeted by the kind of incendiary far-right speculation and rhetoric that only increases the risk to those in public life

83,000 people attended Belfast Pride last year. Last night, I was at the launch of this year's Pride. Everybody who spoke, spoke of the desperate need to protect trans people. Meanwhile, the LGB Alliance disco each year gets about 100 people if they're lucky.

It’s getting irritating seeing Reform politicians accusing others of ‘incitement’ The same guys who call others traitors, who say ‘a reckoning is coming’ and call for ‘pure, cold, rage’ Oh and they invited a woman who called for asylum seeker hotels to be burnt down to speak at their conference

the write ups of the pm's fall never mention his biggest reforms—those that made the uk far, far worse for minorities my latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/starmer-out/

It seems worth mentioning that Beira’s Place is not actually a rape crisis centre, but a support service, and the rape crisis centre that has actually been attacked in recent years is Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, following a harassment campaign led by JK Rowling.

This is a must watch, but also a must share.

There’s a few tickets left to join our team and some amazing trans comedians (and some decent cis ones too) in London next Monday, and support trans futures 🏳️‍⚧️💪 Funds raised go to us, T-Climbing and Sapphic Bison ❤️ www.pleasance.co.uk/event/sugar-...

"When Jo Cox was murdered in the street at the height of a polarising referendum, the shock brought politicians across the spectrum together in soul-searching about the culture in which such horrors could happen." And then they, almost without exception, shrugged and carried on making it worse.

What's happening to trans rights in Britain is more chilling than what's happening in the US. In the US there's an ecosystem of zealotry. The people dismantling trans rights openly lie, not just about trans people but about a whole host of things. For them to dismantle human rights feels natural.

Incredible statement from the Church in Wales on the ignominious Code of Practice: "The Church in Wales will not use equality law exemptions to exclude trans people from our worship, our sacraments, our pastoral care, or our common life." www.churchinwales.org.uk/en/news-and-...

@amnestyuk.bsky.social You utter cowards.

Many trans staff are now choosing to work from home and, in some cases, opting out of using public and work facilities entirely, @transactualuk.bsky.social told us

Trans people are banned from everything and can barely name their oppressors lest they are monstered by the media and in parliament. Never mind the threat of jail for not disclosing being trans before a sexual encounter or even for saying some shit. It's surreal being trans in the UK right now.

This is absolutely absurd. Scottish transphobes post worse about trans people, including Heather, all the time and the police sit on their hands. JKR posted an upskirt photo of a trans person, a clear crime, just this week. No action. Talk about two tier policing. www.bbc.com/news/article...

@nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/fier... An unspeakable crime by the state. By your party. Utterly inhumane, callous, gleefully cruel. Evil, even. Your party.

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

1. After pushing anti-trans laws to ‘protect women’s sports’, Project 2025’s Heritage Foundation now wants women’s sports gone to ‘assist fertility.’ Turns out it was about women’s sports all along—if getting rid of women's sports counts, that is.

Has anyone ever FOI'd the government/no 10 for any alleged evidence base that segregating trans people is required for safety? Or for what information was exchanged in that meeting between starmer and mouldy Robert? Should I?

We’ve already had Labour’s Independent Investigator of Terrorism Legislation call trans women a foreign plot to destabilise British democracy. The Home Sec also now has the power to proscribe “foreign threats” without oversight. Statements like Yusuf’s serve a very obvious and disturbing purpose.

Ten years ago in the UK, even conservative MPs were supportive of self ID and warned about the dangers of trans bathroom bans in the US. Now a center left labour government is implementing a nationwide bathroom ban by fiat on August 5th without even so much as a vote.

This is what happens why a minority is systematically removed from the national conversation about their own rights. Even today, after so many years of activism and advocacy, I am still surprised by the number of cis people I meet who have NO IDEA what is going on. Even people very close to me.

You stupid motherfuckers

Because Robert can gtfo

‘for women scotland’( @forwomen.scot ) are currently claiming that jews are responsible for international human rights organisations red-flagging their insane far right agenda. you can tell terfs aren’t nazis by how everything is an antisemitic conspiracy involving george soros.

@amnestyuk.bsky.social I seriously hope your plan is more than just "post report, immediately cave in", because otherwise you've just needlessly inflicted more harm. So what's the plan? There had damn well better be one.

Posting this on behalf of a fellow researcher: Hello please reply to [email protected] with the most grim and egregious stuff Rowling has done targeting people.

BBC Radio 4's Common Ground just now investigating whether "woke has gone too far." At this point it feels like the national broadcaster is nothing but a threat to democracy.

BREAKING - FOR ONE WEEK ONLY. A Canadian human rights advocate has offered to match every pound donated to TransLucent's Crowdjustice fundraiser towards the cost of bringing a Judicial Review against the EHRC Draft Code of Practice. Please donate and share. translucent.org.uk/internationa...

Paul Holden had been reporting on Labour Together – the thinktank behind to Starmer’s rise to power – when he was told he was the subject of a national security investigation So began months of anxiety, all as he and his wife were expecting their second child Now he tells his story in full Link ⬇️

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

Listen good. The UK government have estimated to spend £700 million (€1.1 billion) on a 10 year plan to implement the EHRC guidance. That is to make PERMANENT changes. That is not going to be undone overnight. I don't want it any more than you, but this is serious money!

There really is no overstating how horrific the 2026 KSCIE guidance from the UK government is. It takes on board all of the punitive, coercive, ill-conceived musings of the Cass Review, and turns them into a recipe for making kids' lives hell on earth.

1/🧵 Hilary Cass wrote to MPs and Lords last week to defend her conversion therapy and fishing expedition to falsify evidence against puberty pausing treatment. She frames hate groups’ obstruction as merely a difference of opinion, whilst presenting gender-affirming care as harm.

This government would ban George from the Famous Five.

Resisting Transphobia in Edinburgh applauds the City of Edinburgh Council for voting, by an overwhelming majority, to condemn the transphobic new guidance from the Equalities and Human Rights Commission. Zoe Harding delivered a blistering speech on our behalf: rtie.org/2026/06/25/e...

Yep lauradelcolbrown.com/Mumsnet-and-...

The ADF's presence here in the UK, then, simply cannot be disconnected from the overall structure of what's termed the 'Gender Critical' movement here. The ADF itself was behind the Bell v Tavistock case which essentially began the destruction of trans healthcare in the UK, especially for youth.

A huge "thank you" to the 475 people who have, in total, donated £21,654 towards the cost of bringing a Judicial Review against the EHRC Draft Code of Practice. Send a message to Bridget Phillipson & Mary-Ann Stephenson! Please donate & share. www.crowdjustice.com/case/challen...

I have this horrible feeling about the widdecombe 'incident' that seems almost too mad to say out loud. So I won't. But I feel like something 'convenient' is about to happen, let's say that. Suitably vague so I can pretend I never thought something so mad when it doesn't happen.
