Reminder: Anti-trans hit list sites like SheWon & HeCheated wanted to remain anon, but I was able to trace them back to their real origins: online TERFs so extreme, they were banned from Reddit. NYT cites them anyway. Do not let them hide in the shadows. www.erininthemorning.com/p/fact-check...

Oh I'm sure he really gets up in there with a laparoscope
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"

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

Tens of thousands celebrated Budapest Pride, the first since Viktor Orbán’s ousting.

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

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.
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.

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.
Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"

Alongside TransActual and Trans+ Solidarity Alliance, we have written to the prime minister to express our deep concerns with the new Code of Practice and urged the government to legislate now to protect trans people’s rights, dignity and inclusion. www.scottishtrans.org/jointpmletter/

“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.

Graeme Hart, 57, believes autism is a horrific scourge on humanity – but that there’s no reason for you, an autistic person, to be so uncivil about it.
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
