Peer reviewed research, listening to the experiences of the children and families affected gets 1000 worldwide views and zero media coverage. Anti-trans takes get platformed all over the UK media, complete with commentary from the powerful. The game is rigged against any justice for trans kids.

The full weight of the UK establishment - NHS, the Times, Baronesses of the House of Lords, all misrepresenting an actual full blown scandal of acute child harm. My research (with @sandraduffy.bsky.social) captures the real situation, centring patient voice journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

This is incredibly important - mass protests are good and necessary but very few take the logical next steps needed to affect real change - we need to learn to channel our rage into organising, so we are strong and united enough to enforce our demands

Currently wondering what message the UK govt thought it was sending by dressing up the Minister for Net Zero in a literal Shell logo.

"Campaigers have for years suggested that 'politicians should wear their corporate donors' logos, like race car drivers.' Andy Burnham is finally giving the people what they asked for."

I don’t think anything sums up how cancerous our media is quite like Janet Murray and the Daily Mail - not being content enough with having harassed Beth Upton out of the country - now harassing her in her new place of residence. They will genuinely not be happy until she’s dead.

The most important reply I’ve had to this post. We’re now in a society where any trans person could be decided by the press to be their target of the day, and so every trans person is potentially at risk of this level of extremely public harassment. It’s so fucking grim. bsky.app/profile/goth...

Janet Murray is now publicly harassing a random trans woman for choosing to get gender affirming surgery, and her real life friend for donating some money towards funding it. Janet works for the Telegraph and the Mail. This is the state of British journalism. Harassing people for being trans.

This is exactly why you should categorically reject harm reduction arguments for state coercion. These people would put you all in a bottle and throw it in the ocean, and they'd call this safeguarding. They do not believe you have any right to make decisions about yourselves.

They'll starve you when they deem you gluttonous, and they will force feed you when they deem you frail, and they will never, ever, for any reason, entertain asking what you think. Your judgment, after all, doesn't matter, because you don't matter. You are just an incompetent.

Setting aside the paternalist paintjob, the actual argument these people are making is that other peoples' judgments can be overriden, and they should be compelled to live their lives just as the busybody deems "harmless", I need not add, by the busybody's own concept of harm.

"I was fine when they were assholes to other people but not when they were to me."

Two University of Leicester students speak out over ‘absurd’ and ‘Orwellian’ decision by the BBC and ITV Studios to edit out pride pins worn on University Challenge

Again, it’s important to understand that the transgender terror did not arise organically from the public. It was imposed from above, by the world’s most hateful and poisonous media class.

The new punk rock is being transgender obviously what are we even doing here Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Another infestation of "we must compromise (on your rights, you filthy tranny, not mine)" collaborators this morning, I see. Whacking the sign with a baseball bat once more:

Joanne rowling accusing oppressed, marginalised minorities of being "elite" is quite a bit of projection You are a billionaire who owns a castle and mega yacht, you can buy whatever you want, including policy and law in society, and you do Thats elitist joanne, and we all know it

JK doing this the week that trans people in the UK were banned from hospital wards matching their gender, something which has already killed a woman, in sizeable part thanks to her actions.

JK Rowling, the outdated, racist author who created the Gringotts goblins, casually uses the antisemitic trope of the cosmopolitan “elitist” to portray the existence of trans people as fabricated and part of a conspiracy. Where are the random government advisers on extremism or something?

So you can do that then, you all know you can do that. You can have an amendment ready to go if the Supreme Court fucks it up. You can just do that and you know it. Now take a big sip of coffee and look at how Labour politicians responded to FWS.

I feel like "hey, bigots fucking lie a lot and parsing their pronouncements to try and figure out their motivations is fucking pointless" is underrated as a life lesson. Also "their motivations don't matter if you commit to stopping rather than persuading them."

jackdaw drilling is labour 100% telling everyone they don't care about the climate or the environment. they shouldn't be allowed to get us all killed just bcos shell 'lobbied'( bribed ) them. im sick and tired of how corrupt this government is.

This is not about "climate campaigners" and framing it this way is totally ridiculous This is a blow to the planet and us all

Guardian: "Andy Burnham is kicking hippies again" The hippie's: "hey actually we're respected scientists pointing out that all these new wildfires are completely avoidable. Why do you keep calling us hippies? Would you like to look at some hockey stick graphs?"

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Imagine if “families with concerns” had a say over whether a woman can have an abortion! If you remove bodily autonomy from trans people, whose bodily autonomy is next??? Trans rights are human rights. If trans people’s human rights are removed, everyone’s human rights are under threat!

"This hatred, it’s like a cancer. It spreads because people will always say, ‘Oh, it’s just the illegals.’ It’s not. “From what I experienced, it was anyone who was remotely different, different creed, different colour, different sexuality.” www.theargus.co.uk/news/2665180...

This article is a scary glimpse into how openly and publicly hateful the average British person is becoming. Bigotry has been allowed to metastasize from the top down and the bottom up. When you allow the demonization of migrants and trans people, you grant permission for people to act like demons.

This is truly pathetic from Ministers. Labour’s claim to more than 27 new Jackdaw jobs doesn’t hold up. The green economy is >£100bn a year and growing fast. There is no future in fossil fuels. The Government knows this, but chooses profit for Shell over protecting our climate.

The IPCC is pretty clear that if we want a safe climate there can be no new oil and gas. But every country thinks it has some special reason for why it should be the exception

For you it’s ‘the money has run out’ and we need to make cuts to afford defence spending’ For the King it’s a 93% increase from the Government. Stop falling for their bullshit.

The thing about the JKR puff piece. Is it "Entertainment" or "News"? If it's the forma it shouldn't exist because it's political if the latter it shouldn't exist because of balance. Either way they are breaking their own rules.

Trans people in the UK are being killed by transphobia. BBC. Let's do a documentry on the famous individual who wrote this:

28 dems turned on us. 28. How the fuck does a trans person feel safe with an "ally" ever after this. You actually are going to scapegoat us as a demographic because your afraid of standing up and fighting for something real.

Finally, we get to hear her side of the story.

Watching enviously as Hungary regains its sanity, whilst the UK loses theirs.

Okay, so Reform is now actively advocating for the armed forces to murder unarmed civilians as official policy. At what point does the media at large stop treating these people as anything but fascistic far right thugs who under any normal functioning system would be condemned as extremists.

The thing about the BBC is that it has always been state propaganda. It was explicitly formulated not to enable free speech but to strangle it.

No you don't get it, the BBC had to edit out the protect the dolls t-shirt because of impartiality. On the one hand some people think trans women should be safe, but on the other hand some people think trans women should eat glass. It's a deeply politicised issue actually.
