"For years, trans people have used wards in line with their gender identity, under the NHS’s own guidance – without any harm. The NHS was built on the promise that everyone counts. With this guidance, it has decided that trans people certainly don’t – and some of us will pay for it with our lives."

Reem Alsalem, who is both a woman and a Muslim, is prepared to align with Christian Nationalism which abhors everything she is, just because they hate trans women as much as her. GC women will bring about the downfall of everything other women have achieved on women’s rights and body autonomy.
Prominent ‘gender critical’ transphobe in UN called out for “proximity to US conservative groups [ADF]”… “Reem Alsalem, has taken views that regressively depart from UN human rights doctrine, displaying how an ideologically skewed mandate can undermine the consensus of UN human rights bodies.”…

Check out the AMAZING trailer for this new, bafflingly optimistic documentary on trans life in the UK! Please donate if you can, and share regardless. Feat. me on a bit of the voiceover! Talking about trans liberalism in the 2010s, and the actual threat we pose.
A bang-on-the-money thread from Evan. AI is poisoning our creative environment, our information environment and our literal actual environment, and it has no useful purpose! It's talked young people into suicide and makes it easy to produce CSAM with a few suggestions.
I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.

I do have to question how @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social can claim she believes trans people should be treated with “dignity and respect”, seconds before saying she would ban trans women victims experiencing rape or abuse from shelters. It’s just so fucking blatantly dishonest and bigoted.
Oh but it's okay, because “They can use their own facilities." Which facilities would these be, Bridget? Do tell, We're listening. Which facilities, Bridget? Please, tell us all about these facilities that definitely exist all over the country and not just in a few select places?

It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.
7-year sentence handed down to Oleg Bessedin for anti-Estonia activities. Work for russian SVR, pay the price. His handler Sergei Nalobin is, among other things, releted to Brexit campaign and arson of the home of British PM K.Starmer. news.err.ee/1610150341/7...

Good plan, Australia and Canada. Huge sigh, UK. How long do we wait, how much do we lose, how stupid do we have to be?
Australia and Canada are leading the way - they are choosing closer ties with the EU. The EU is our closest partner. The UK government should put EU membership on the table. It's really a no-brainer.

I'm just going to keep yelling this louder and louder until it clicks: weird overpaid AI nerds hand-wringing about human extinction are trying to distract you from the extremely deadly and serious harms they are causing yesterday, today and tomorrow www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Eye-wateringly stupid defence from Rowling’s team here - ‘She does not support legal actions aimed at harming transgender people.’ - Really? So that £70,000 towards the bathroom ban was by accident? The JKR Women’s Fund was made by an impersonator? At least have the spine to admit you want us dead

Much like Section 28, this new era threatens to erase an LGBTQIA+ minority group But this time, they may be harder to overturn 👇
