Ahh, unlucky mate. Turns out trans healthcare is still the scientifically and morally correct thing to do. I assume you'll be apologising now? Not sure why you thought the last 5 years would be different to the nearly 100 before that but ok

jk rowling threatens international human rights organistions and the nhs with slapp lawsuits and we still have to hear from cis ppl about how she just has opinions that we disagree with. it's not normal to be engaging in vexatious lawfare against human rights organisations and the nhs.

Seeing as 99% of people in the UK don't care about trans people in the slightest, by far the biggest achievement the "Gender Critical" movement have and will ever achieve is removing gendered toilets as a safe option for businesses to install. No one wanted that. They're all so fucking thick

I was undercover in TERF FB groups for parents of trans kids for over a year. Everyone that claimed parental alienation was a self-absorbed bigot - and many had tried at-home DIY conversion therapy on their children. The same DIY “therapy” that led to Leelah Alcorn’s suicide. Fuck them all.

I'm really glad Trans Media Watch are drawing the links here between racist and transphobic harassment campaigns in the UK media. These are part of the same regressive backlash, and must be fought together.

For those who want to know what we are up to and how our work relates to what has been happening in the National Media of late, a short explainer and a campaign. transmediawatch.org/short-explai...

I can't believe how many politicians and journalists in the UK have causing harm to trans people as their number 1 priority Imagine starting a new job and immediately saying "yes I'll do my job but my main thing is that I want to cause suffering to a handful of children I've never met"

This is really quite the thread.

As we know, the BBC is institutionally transphobic - but the worst part is BBC Rad 4. You feel it when you walk into their newsroom and studio. Hairs prickle. Gender Crit is viewed as normal - trans folk the equiv of climate deniers. Today, Woman’s Hour and Justin Webb all treated me like a criminal

Stanley, I sympathize that people are making fun of you. Back on Twitter I used to get constant death threats, they'd fill my replies with violent fantasies about publicly mutilating me before murdering me, spam me with real life images of queer people being murdered, which I thought wasn't nice...

New update on the NBTK trans research misconduct case. - The ethics board have determined that this was a severe breach of research ethics principles - The offending papers should be withdrawn - Researchers have three weeks to submit a complaint about the verdict

PKI mener at NBTK har fungert uten gyldig mandat siden 2021. – En av hovedoppgavene deres er å bidra til forskning på feltet, og de har bevist igjen og igjen at de er helt uegnet til å forvalte det ansvaret, mener Lorentzen. www.aftenposten.no/norge/i/43RE...

In Norway their main gender clinic was taken over by some "Gender Critical" wacko who made it much harder for trans people to access care (as always based on no evidence at all). They also allegedly used patient data without their consent. They've now been actually reprimanded for that

Can you imagine if there was any hope at all for some mild kind of justice like this over here in the UK? Imagine having regulatory bodies that weren't run by people installed by culture war shitheads, specifically with the goal of hurting trans people

Btw this "a long term life on medication" is taking the exact same hormones in the exact same quantity that every other woman my age naturally produces, with all of the same effects It's fucking ridiculous to talk about it as if it's a life on opioids or something

I'm almost feeling accelerationist. Maybe if we had a general election today and Farage took over, he could get on with destroying what's left of the country and maybe it would actually start affecting most people and the pendulum might start swinging back the other way.

This basically. Labour has relentlessly increased the salience of the issues Reform prioritises, whilst winning over basically no Reform voters, and simultaneously alienating their own base. It's just terrible politics.

Dylan Difford@dylandifford.bsky.social

But another part of the problem has always been Labour's failure to understand its 2024 coalition, or basic electoral dynamics. It has lost voters to Reform, but these are a fairly unique fragment of their 2024 voters, v unlike those staying loyal or the greater number defecting to the Greens + LDs.

The most emotion Keir Starmer has shown is over losing his job, not enabling the genocide of the Palestinian people. Good riddance. His next stop should be The Hague.

On the other hand, when Jennicet Gutiérrez asked Obama to end the abuse of trans women in ICE detention and stop all deportations, while at a White House Pride event in 2015, Obama mocked her to her face and she was thrown out and briefly detained.

“The IOC’s decision to reinstate a genetic testing process it abandoned decades ago is a U-turn that athletes say will damage the livelihood and humanity of not just trans and intersex athletes, but all women.” This is a clear reminder that policing gender does not “protect women” — it harms them.

It is worth remembering that time spent arguing about who is a women and demonising trans women is time taken away from solving real problems like gender-based violence, pay inequity, workplace gender equality and access to reproductive healthcare.

Weird how it's always trans people having to "make compromises" like "stop existing in public" and never "Gender Critical" people having to make compromises like tolerating being in the same room as a trans person. Like what has been the case your entire life

If the police think they're dangerous terrorists then why are they gently and calmly walking them at a snails pace, unrestrained? People get into jobs that should require reasoning and morals and then just blindly follow orders instead. You don't HAVE to do things you know are wrong
