What’s going on in the United Kingdom right now is unspeakable. And it’s Labour, the ostensibly left of center party that is doing it. Horrific.

So many people buried their heads in the sand this week saying that NHS segregation of trans people was "for their safety". But even internal NHS assessments say it will cause direct harm. Sex is not binary and trans people need respectful care based on actual physiology, not anti-trans slogans.

NEW: NHS England know the harm they are doing to trans patients. Their internal assessment reportedly warns of corridor care, treatment delays, outing, discrimination and healthcare avoidance being among the risks identified from their new policy www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

The more I examine the CPS “sex by deception” guidance, the uglier this gets. Imagine a woman accused by a former sexual partner of “really being male”. She says she isn’t. What happens next?

Harm reduction for me not for thee

I guess I am a bit of a utilitarian, trying to prevent as much harm as possible, even if that means some folks don’t get their needs met.

I'm pretty sure the dems who are right wing for trans people are gonna be right wing for immigration too so like you probably shouldn't be voting for those dems anyways

RitzCat@mbalax.bsky.social

Well, “we will drag you all down with us”, when lots of folks are facing even more danger today than the trans community is from Talarico Dems (how about those being held in concentration camps, sent to Eswatini or Gitmo, or killed by ICE?), is kind of being an asshole according to my worldview.

I'm still struggling with the volume of cis people who're confidently telling trans people they have to vote for a transphobe because Republicans are worse. The absolute hubris. Do you think we're idiot children, who don't know what the consequences are? Of course we do. 1/x

blizzard workers had to fight tooth and nail for years, but they finally did it: they secured a union contract not just for one team, but for all unionized units--warcraft, overwatch, diablo, and more

My first experience of AI was asking it a relatively simple Fortran question, entering it, watching it fail to compile and then giving up and reading the correct answer from a textbook

We use the term futureshock in my friendgroup to describe the bottomless disorientation that we experience when we see these things do something new that didn't previously seem possible. I'll probably never forget the first time I loaded up claude code.

Glad to see the greens are also transphobic like the rest of them. How fun.

‼️Statement RE my suspension from the Greens. I was suspended for the 'crime' of being a trans woman who ran for a women's place. The "media interest" in my gender was cited as the sole reason for my suspension.

Trans + people segregated from using single sex spaces like toilets that match their gender. Trans + people must declare their "birth sex" before having sex with someome new or face potemtialy being charged with sex by deception. No end to the decades long wait times for trans people to receive

Under a UK Labour Gov we have: The forced cancellation of all Adult trans + surgeries in Wales The ongoing enforcement of a puberty blocker ban for all trans U18s. A don't say trans style ban on teachers/support staff discussing trans + issues with pupils in English schools.

This is ridiculous, if every single surgery for any other condition was cancelled in this way, everyone involved in the decision making would be fired the next day. This is purely transphobic and completely insane. I hope the NHS gets sued for this.

If you're trans, you're trans. Even if you misgender yourself in your thoughts Even if you have nightmares of everyone deadnaming you Even if you're not where you want to be Even if it's hard Even in the bad days The deepest part of you Still is your truth Still is real Still matters

The system is rigged. An illegal war hikes bills for stuggling families - meanwhile energy giants rake in profits. We don't have to live like this any more. Vote Green on May 7th.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions. Then covered it up again when caught. Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

“The decision to exclude trans women was made without any warning or consultation with members. The WI’s response that they had ‘no choice’ does not ring true for an organisation that has famously declared they ‘love taking on tricky issues’.” www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/09/w...

Good god. We've spent a decade with the British media - including the BBC - claiming that the 'gender critical' movement wanted to 'protect women and girls'. And it turns out Jeffrey Epstein was funding part of it.

During the pandemic many people regarded SAGE as dangerously flawed and not independent enough from government interference. Today many regard the EHRC as dangerously flawed and not independent from government or anti-rights groups. That is why we need the iEHRC.

In my view these shocking numbers for homophobia and transphobia amongst Labour voters are, to a large extent the responsibility of the leadership of LGBT Labour over the last 5-6 years. There are a number of reasons why the LGBT Labour exec needs to be held accountable… 1/5
