This is big news. Ending the puberty-blocker ban in New Zealand is massive. It puts Cass & the entirety of Labour’s flagship anti-trans policies in doubt. Yet no mainstream media platform has even mentioned it. Indeed most alternative media, like @bylinetimes.bsky.social have failed to mention it.

He seems determined to base his entire career around spewing untruths to bolster a deranged and dangerous world view. It's obviously a tactic that earns one a place in the highest offices in corrupt states.

The Burnham government is happy to listen to transphobes galore but will move mountains to avoid listening to any trans people.

If you thought the Conversion Practices Bill is already bad thanks to all the loopholes and allowances it provides, then don’t worry - it’s about to get worse. The Government are hearing “evidence” from anti-trans campaigners Helen Joyce, Dennis Kavanagh and the LGB Alliance this week.

I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go

Hi. I, a trans woman, am the Executive Producer of this show. I wrote the question. He called trans girls men. He has now said it in three different places in the past week.

Viscerally upset by the Beth Upton stuff. They won't be satisfied until they have hounded a woman – who the tribunal explicitly found had done nothing wrong – to her death. Btw the "incident" in Australia is that a patient worried she *might* be forced to be treated by her. She of course wasn't.

Another one here where the British press just smashed fuck out of a member of the public’s life for no good reason, just because they wanted to and nobody will stop them doing at. And they’re still going, even now.

It really is something to see the absolutely vile language used against trans+ people here. Mr Dawkins claiming he felt there was an over sensitivity yet then labelling all of us deluded? One has to be a bigot to understand a bigot I guess, because it makes no sense to me.

Richard Dawkins is fighting elitism (TM). So is Julie Bindel.

THE NHS IS KILLING US Via the new EHRC Guidance, the NHS has set into motion segregationist policies which, in their trial, have ALREADY killed, and will no doubt kill more. Our demands remain the same: DISCLOSE THE DEATH TOLL DROP THE EHRC xoxo BASH BACK #justiceforjoelle

There's no reason to harm the planet further when the climate crisis is clear to everyone. But to choose to make the crisis worse when having no tangible benefits to the people you serve? These fools openly care not for you or the planet, but for the profits of the oil companies.

On going ahead with Jackdaw: Sally Nugent: "For people who are going to be struggling to pay their energy bills this winter, what difference will this make?" Energy secretary: "its really important to be clear that this project does not have an impact on affordability & bills"

Scarring children for life. That it is government policy doing this is absolutely horrific. That the people who implement these policies do not care for the damage they cause is inhumane. Damage entirely manufactured that didn't need to be.

Not Safe To Be Me. Horrific reading. @prideineducation.bsky.social & C2BT analyses social media responses to the video made by Katie Neeves about the harm & distress @lucympowell.bsky.social’s anti-trans schools “guidance” has caused to a 13-year old trans girl. cool2btrans.co.uk/not-safe-to-...

Showing up once more that the decision makers here, like so many, clearly believe transgender people are deluded and will happily take on the views of anyone else to support that. Transphobia comes so easily to them.

Natacha@natacha.bsky.social

The NHS in Wales is trying to stop trans healthcare for ADULTS by listening to the “concerns” of bigoted transphobic family members. This is 100% unacceptable and a breach of patient confidentiality.

The problem in every country is the same For the last 50 years the billionaires have demanded ever higher profits Their profits are now so high the Government can't afford basic services But those billionaires bribe Politicians So the Government won't take action against them

Brilliant piece on the systematic undermining of trans people’s dignity and existence. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Many moons after the deed the chore of calls to change ones name and gender continues. Yet 20 minutes into the latest one comes a pure ray of sunshine as the call centre worker interrupts the flow to say "and congratulations by the way". Mood lifted a mile by the kindness of strangers.

No one seems to care, but these were the UK's submissions about hospital use in I v UK in *2002*. I get that the UKSC is big on reading ECtHR jurisprudence as narrowly as possible, but it really does strain credulity to think there is no Art 8 violation .

Lena Midnight reposted

It’s helpful to have an actual Labour MP saying right out that it’s not what transgender people do or say that is the problem: it’s their presence that she objects to, their existence. Yes, this is what it always was, and these people just keep winding each other up and up to ever more extreme views

labour mp clarifies: yes, trans people must be banned from hospitals

Tonia’s take is quite amazing in just how blatant it is. The logic is literally “we will be bigoted to you so you should be kept away from me cause my bigotry is normal and actually its quite unpleasant for me to have to feel my bigotry by your presence”

It would IMO be better if MPs had not utterly deranged their own brains on Twitter dot com, wildly radicalising themselves and each other.

It was never extreme for trans people to want to be treated like human beings in whatever spaces we entered. It did not go too far, and no amount of historical revisionism will make the simple request for equal access to safety in public spaces unreasonable.

My life has been saved twice whilst under the care of the NHS. Until this diabolical policy is removed and human care is back in place, I'm not convinced I'll survive my next encounter. Or even bother turning up for it

'jk rowling is just protecting women and girls from trannies' is functionally no different from 'tommy robinson is just protecting women and girls from immigrants' it presupposes that trans ppl, or immigrants, are inherent dangers to women and girls and neither demographic actually is it's bigotry

The scale of negligence committed by the NHS' Gender Clinics cannot be understated, and yet only 3 of the 13 clinics asked in QueerAF's survey actually disclosed suicide figures. To the NHS GCS: DISCLOSE THE DEATH TOLL Every trans suicide is murder, every cover-up is intentional xoxo BASH BACK

QueerAF@wearequeeraf.com

QueerAF can reveal figures that show 618 people have died while under the care of an NHS gender clinic, at least 21 by suicide. www.wearequeeraf.com/the-deadly-t...

There are some that recognise genocide for what it is. There are others who will gladly ignore the death and destruction for their own political beliefs. It's best to see beyond the politics and just call it for what it is. Well said Mick.

Mick Lynch "Zack Polanski isn't inciting hatred for Jews he believes he is an agent of peace and that Israel is carrying out Mass Murder in Gaza and the West Bank, and I believe that too." When Mick Lynch speaks sense, he speaks sense.

That she has the ear of government, policy makers and equality commissions, paints a dire picture of the society we live in and should forever be a stain on all who listened to her.

Put it this way: if the Greens, Kneecap and Gary Lineker are prompting enraged all-channels screaming fury but e.g. an army seizing, depopulating and ethnically cleansing southern Lebanon of its racially undesirable populace doesn’t make anyone blink, then I am going to conclude - bullshit

Lena Midnight reposted

The transphobes leading the Labour Party decided to exclude trans women from the Labour Women’s conference. In doing so they excluded a huge number of cis women also; the venue was only 20% full. Labour needs to learn that transphobia harms everyone, including cis women, & not just trans people.
