Here is the BMA saying "we were worried about the FWS case, warned you about the potential health risks associated with the proposed Code of Practice, and now you have gone ahead and implemented policies that will cause serious harm to trans patients and staff' www.bma.org.uk/news-and-opi...

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 .

Striking how ideologically-captured the BBC has become when looking at its reporting on trans hospital changes, and just how much heavy lifting 'biological sex' is doing. Explaining that a woman with a vulva, breasts, and typically female hormone profile should be put on a men's ward? Difficult...

Always find it astonishing how noticeable the Great Leap Forward is.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

This government has made life dramatically harder for trans children and their families. The human costs are enormous. Cal is not the first parent I know that has made the gut wrenching decision to leave the country. Read this then start fighting for a world where trans kids can live and thrive.

Labour's immigration/asylum policies are profoundly racist and xenophobic. They embolden far right, undermine international law and violate basic human rights, while being even more hostile than the previous government. They can't be tweaked. They need to be scrapped. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Lots of nonsense gets brought up in Parliament. Some end up having negative consequences, such as when this is placed into context of how barbers and beauty salons are already framed in terms of immigration and how this could be used to fuel further attacks on the rights of people working in them 1/

This photo by David Bird shows the huge line of trans + people and allies outside parliament yesterday.

Thank you so much to the hundreds of trans people and allies who joined today's mass lobby! The queue stretched across both sides of the road outside Parliament, and so many MPs participated in meetings and responded to green cards. Together, we delivered a powerful message for change 🏳️‍⚧️

When your ideal date is running a mass lobby for trans equality @transsolidarity.bsky.social 😂

Today’s the day: Are you feeling mass lobby ready? Tag us in your best #transontrains pictures and we’ll see you soon!

This week, trans children all over England are starting the school year in schools that have been told to segregate them from their friends and peers. If they are brave enough to do that, every single cis ally should be brave enough to show up at a lobby for trans equality 👇👇

Please read, and consider that it is a failure to act by cis "allies" that has left trans people in the UK in this direction position.

One of the things us an industry need to stop doing is perpetuating the 'they say this on social media, but they're a sweetheart in real life' about awful people I've had other journos say this to me about some of the most pernicious grifters over the years, some of who crossed many lines this week

Its (finally) raining, so my children are cool and still fast asleep, my world smells and sounds *amazing* and I just learned the word "petrichor" ❤️

We have just witnessed an incredible A/B test showing how plagiarism allegations at Cambridge University play out depending on how racialized the subject of the allegations are and it says nothing good about our society or the state of "race relations". O'Reilly is still in post.

Waking up to our extraordinary annual water bill and sitting thinking about all of the other 4 person families who simply cannot afford a bill like this. Water is a basic human need. It should be free to all.

Really recommend watching this @jamellebouie.net vid. Much of it very much applicable to the state of journalism and politics here in the UK...

I've been using a rollator for the past few days and it's been really helpful. I've been able to stay out longer, go more places, and paid less for it in pain and fatigue afterwards

Things do not have to be this way. It’s a political choice, in the hope we go away quietly. Will you join us in showing up to demand better? www.transsolidarityalliance.com/mass-lobby-2...

Great thread (and even better linked essays) on the evangelism of AI in big tech

Hornier for trees than you would expect:

🗓️ Save the date: 9th September. Join us in Parliament, we have to fix the law. Read more: www.transsolidarityalliance.com/post/ehrc-co...

Not getting the whole 'Politician consistently voted against abortions and LGBTQ issues but they were *lovely* to their gay friends, of whom they had many' thing.
