Defiantly Alice

Hannah Barnes once published a paper in the British Medical Journal with some fake scandal about trans kids and then the next day published an "exclusive" in the BBC saying that the "BMJ found a big scandal". Her source was her own report but she never disclosed that she also wrote the BMJ paper.

Imagine if a podiatrist randomly got involved in oncology because someone in the government hired them to do an independent review. Then, a few years later, they were able to disrupt and shut down healthcare for cancer patients despite having no expertise That's Cass in the UK with trans healthcare

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

I will never vote for an anti-transgender Democrat like Josh Turek and you should not either. I'll probably be writing my case to abstain from a handful of races like his on Monday. Josh Turek is showing the exact slippery slope I've called out, in real time.

The "row" and "scandal" here is that a patient recognised her and declined care, as she has a right to do, and this patient then scared herself silly fantasising about being bullied into letting Dr Upton treat her. A thing that did not actually happen.

the simple fact is that democrats embracing transphobia earns them nothing and shrinks their own voter base, period. it's bad policy and it's bad electoral strategy, so stop fucking harassing trans people sounding the alarm about this and start harassing the dem candidates who are trying to lose

NEW: FOI requests reveal NHS Wales used unverified 'family concerns' to stop trans surgeries

The Forstater judgment kind of broke equalities law. What do you mean transgender people have to accept that some of their colleagues might not "believe in" them?

Absurd outcomes happen when the ideological claim that changing sex is impossible makes contact with the biological reality that every single aspect of sex that could be visible to an observer is in fact changeable.

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.

Again, there was almost no public element in this: no organic surge in public opinion to demand it. It was simply imposed upon Britain by the world’s most hateful and poisonous media outlets, by leaning hard on our ever-compliant political leaders, who are always happy to say yes to the tabloids.

As we have just seen with the NHS, as we have seen with EHRC "guidance", as we have seen with Labour's Section 28 2.0 for schools, as we see every damn day, transphobia is now policy, trans individuals rights are being removed. It is a cruel and inhumane attack against trans individuals all round.

I see Pedro Sanchez has called a snap election. He is undoubtedly going to lose but mulling on his record from his time in power

Sandy Peggie's daughter is crying about her hateful mother having an awful time. Living it up on holiday, hosted by JKR, adored by the press. Not a hard life at all. Dr Beth Upton is the one who had an awful time. Leaving the country, hiding away and being vilified and attacked wherever she goes.

Naomi Cunningham has become so unhinged about trans people that she's making Sarah Phillimore look reasonable. Taking pictures of - or filming - people in a public toilet with the explicit purpose of posting online to shame them is almost certainly illegal Naomi.

The NHS Wales JCC subcommittee on Quality, Safety and Outcomes have now released their “Incidents and Concerns” report that was considered at the August 26 meeting, following which all Wales gender reforming surgeries were immediately halted. jcc.nhs.wales/committees/q... 1/

Folk criticising trans people in the US for being pissed off at Democrats for shoving them under the bus while chasing more right-wing votes, maybe take a look at the UK. Brits were convinced to get rid of the Tories at any cost & we've had 2 years of the nastiest anti-trans Labour government.

Looks like there is genuinely nothing more than in the nick Wallis article. They've cancelled everyone's surgery indefinitely because one transphobe complained. the Welsh service sees and refers more patients than English clinics. So all those surgeries are cancelled. No patient safety concerns.

Regardless of your thoughts on voting strategies, the way trans people are being spoken to and about by self-described "progressives" and "allies" is absolutely wild.

Regardless of your position, impliedly threatening members of a minority you disagree with the voting choice of with the camps is fucking abhorrent. Can you not see yourselves?

This is the goal of bathroom bills: to drive trans people from public life so we can be exploited and exterminated in the shadows Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Me when racist protests started in Possil: "I lived in Possil, this will be loyalists and gangsters" 1 million Facebook accounts I've never seen before: "There's a Celtic fan there! You never lived in Possil!" Daily Record today: "Here's a list of the loyalists and gangsters" Vindicated! 💀

I know this isn't terrorism. You know this isn't terrorism. The authorities know this isn't terrorism. But, once again, they have labelled protesters "terrorists", as part of the long-running programme to ensure that no one dares protest about anything any more. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The excuse here seems to be that as a full General, he automatically gets full state honours. Bullshit. This should be the official end of Serbian accession talks; they've been on their last legs for a decade.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸
