By condensing a range of anxieties into a single enemy, the phrase ‘gender ideology’ produces “existential fear”—your core values are under attack!—that “can then be exploited” by authoritarians (as described by Judith Butler)

Excellent work from Natacha. This section on new NHS gender services for children is really worrying. “We (a healthcare service for trans children) may not be gender affirming”
TW: harm to children. My research into the effects of the UK government puberty-blocker ban has finally been published after peer-review. It details the severe harm being caused to young trans people & children by the Starmer government's puberty-blocker ban. Unlike Cass it is peer reviewed...

DW Griffith directed BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a virulently racist film (and neither his first nor his last one of those) that saw racist violence follow wherever it was screened. So, naturally, there are film bros and gals who think we should "ignore the racism" and keep it in the canon. Thread
