Well doesn't this just sum up the UK right now? Personally I think we should "cruelly" tax multimillionaires but what do I know as a mere canary in the human rights coalmine
Yeah, bad news folks: you know how everything in Britain has been increasingly generous, functional, rational, pleasant and generally awesome for the last twenty years or so? Well I’m afraid the party is over for you greedy pigs: it’s time for you to suck up some real pain. Thanks

There's a constant low-level discussion on English-language bluesky about the electoral consequences of transphobic rhetoric from left-liberals but I think it's honestly worse than "they might not vote for you", it's more like, you're cutting yourself off from political labor and talent.

As predicted no UK mainstream media has mentioned the overturning of the New Zealand puberty-blocker ban, despite it being covered by Reuters.
It's bizarre that this is allowed, horrifying when you consider the intended consequences 😧
So Texas has hit one of the most dangerous pieces of campaigning i've ever seen. seemingly pro-trans leaflets mailed to children's across the state. Full of scary trans talking points while pretending to be a support guide for a kid who is considering transition This is an trigger for child abuse

🧵Statement: Hungary removes anti-LGBTI provisions, but trans people are still left out
Just 27 jobs created at the cost of ever more damage to the climate and our children's futures. It won't reduce bills and all the profits will go to London 🤬
🚨 BREAKING: The UK Labour Government have approved the Jackdaw gas field. This a devastating betrayal of future generations. Jackdaw will make the UK even more dependent on the global gas market. This will do nothing to lower household energy bills and it is dishonest to pretend that it will.

More good news from the Saddle Lake Cree Nation, where Indigenous experts are working and fundraising to create "a safe haven for gender-affirming health care, including for Two-Spirit, transgender and gender-diverse people affected by restrictive Alberta laws".
Well done New Zealand! Now we just need the UK to look at the same evidence ... 😐
I needed to keep quiet about this but this is what I was working on earlier this year. My publication “Harming Children: The Effects of the UK puberty-blocker ban” was evidence used for this! I had to submit a lengthy affidavit via NZ local trans group PATHA. Let’s hope we can overturn more now.

And so the exodus of talented trans civil servants begins. It is heartbreaking to see how easily people are led to become the enforcers of gruesomely unjust policies.

Politicians will continue to say there's no evidence or concern of any likely harm to <insert slur>. No mainstream journalist will challenge them on this www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Bear in mind it is perfectly legal to buy and sell Mein Kampf in the UK.
Sally Rooney: To publish my work in the UK could now constitute a serious criminal offence. After a process of consultation and deliberation, and with my full agreement, my publisher Faber has therefore determined that it can no longer supply my work within the UK. www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...
From last night. Much love to the folks protesting 💜 JK Rowling's money kills
🎞️ "BOYCOTT JK ROWLING!" Video of the pop-up trans rights protest at Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" gala tonight, debuting its shortened version in London's West End; peaceful protesters are seen violently dragged away.
The hateful NHS policy hasn't made it to Scotland yet afaik but it seems inevitable. When it does I'm screwed ☹️ Over a decade of burying the spicy stuff under routine things undone
Got home to a letter from the Sandyford who've repeated my whole bloody medical transition to my GP. So there goes my pseudo stealth I'd acquired moving NHS England to Scotland and doubtless in comes trans broken arm syndrome. Sigh
The new NHS guidance fwiw www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/gu... www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/pr...

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...

bsky.app/profile/reac... Ashley actually raised a really good point in response to this that kinda destroys the whole single sex argument. IF 5000 breaches a MONTH are not enough to cause a discrimination claim- why would a few trans people on the same exception.
Also, not just omission. The fact that there has been a continuous breach and no real human rights or discrimination claims by cis folks were entertained supports the case that trans people should not be segregated.
Trans people should be humiliated if they want healthcare or an NHS job, the BBC says NHS England says www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
This is a superb idea, but don't go alone
TERFs are organising an explicitly transphobic ‘gender critical’ “Reclaim the Night” event in Nottingham! 🤮 Don’t protest it (otherwise they’ll claim you’re “anti women” 🙄😖) Instead - take it over with loads of inclusive signs, chants, people - and reclaim the night for ALL ✊🏻💕
