Fallacy lastname

This, from the hugely experienced Irish courts reporter, Isabel Hayes, on the Minister for Justice’s performative outrage over an ad about children and consent, is worth reading.

Joint statement with @transsolidarity.bsky.social on NHS England’s new guidance on staff use of facilities: Yesterday NHS England published new guidance on NHS staff facilities which bars trans staff from single-sex toilets, changing rooms and shower rooms that align with their lived gender.

Multiple studies have consistently shown gender-affirming care, trusted adults & a supportive environment is crucial for trans kids’ mental health & wellbeing & that anti-trans measures like those imposed by @lucympowell.bsky.social are harmful, damaging & relentlessly cruel in the extreme.

This summer: Thousands of deaths from extreme weather. This weekend in the media: What's the point of the Green Party? This morning from the Labour party 👇

Punk isn't dead, and neither is solidarity. Sex Pistols frontman Frank Carter kicked out a disruptive fan over a women-only mosh pit, then made one thing crystal clear: transgender women are welcome. www.transvitae.com/p... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Thousands in emergency accommodation, HSE in an absolute mess, Teachers striking over wages, Generations now unable to even rent, never mind buy a home, but yea, millions for organised crime groups, I mean for horses and greyhounds pfffffffffft #SpéirGorm #Budget2027

It's Tuesday, October 6th 2026 and it's another perfect day to remember that pedophiles, child sex traffickers, rapists etc remain fully supported by millions of enablers in MAGA, the GOP, the Republican party and Christian Nationalism across the United States. #EpsteinFiles

Anyway. I set out my stall this morning.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Western countries still trade with the monsters who did this.

Months of work on FWS & the problem of making it fit with NI law alongside @sylviademars.me and @aoifemod.bsky.social is finally ready to see daylight. Short answer, it doesn't fit. Yes, the situation is so serious that it warranted the Mean Girls quote in the title. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Only 71,850 people have registered to vote in the new Higher Education constituency for the Seanad, despite a potential electorate of between 800,000 and 1,000,000 graduates. The unified 6-seater is open to graduates of over 80 higher level institutions, not just the historic TCD and NUI.

Who are the new citizenship rules actually benefitting? Why are the right questions not being asked? We have seen a decrease of 30% in international protection applicants since 2024. So why are anti-immigration narratives thriving?

I wrote this story for Slate 3 years ago. It's an as-told-to perspective from the mom of a trans boy who accessed top surgery in Texas at 14 years old. This is the kind of Texas family who Talarico wants to ban from seeking healthcare. slate.com/technology/2...

Almost all gender-affirming surgeries for minors are breast reductions for *cis boys*. Yes you read that right, *Boys who are not trans* @jamestalarico.bsky.social in his ignorance & cowardice wants to ban the tiny number of IDENTICAL operations performed on trans boys. This is transphobia.

load of rubbish and summaries everything the state thinks of the Irish language basic at best...úfasach.

support the creators and watch it here!

This has not gotten enough attention... The Irish gov should be encouraging people to support sectors actually improving the world, and not destroying it! #Speirgorm #ClimateAction

Double? Or Triple?

Damn you logic we're here to help the rancher farmers and the FG vote www.thejournal.ie/readme/irela...

Currently ranked 110. I believe we can push trans legal posting into the top 100, but only with YOUR support 💪

As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds. I think, personally, I would be less harmed by you giving me an actual kick in the ribs than watching the new Harry Potter & trying to justify it.

We need to have an urgent conversation about what happens when women complain at work - the ways they are punished, the strategies weaponised against them, the catastrophic impact on their health, and what government must do to protect women from organisational retribution. #WhenWomenComplain

Huge if true!

every single actor joining the new harry potter series saying "I don't agree with JK Rowling's opinions!"

“Frameworks permitting routine exclusion or discretionary verification of sex based on appearance or stereotypes would raise serious concerns under international human rights law…” UN experts remind the UK that it must avoid gender policing and ensure trans folk can live with safety and dignity. 🏳️‍⚧️

Always been here, always will be 🏳️‍⚧️

It's worse, because after they stopped denying the science they moved on to "ok the science is fine, but there's nothing we can do about it..." Next will be "well we could have done something but it's too late now"

If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.

What I want for trans + people in the UK. The puberty blocker ban lifted. The toilet ban scrapped. Supreme Court ruling overtuned/made ineffective. An informed consent model for gender affirming care. Self ID. Non-Binary people legaly recognised. No trans + censorship in schools.

Reminder: DO NOT buy new HP crap. Nothing. For any reason. Every dollar you give JKR funds her global program of trans and intersex eradication. When you choose to buy new HP crap, you participate in real material evil.

This will damage relationships, damage attendance and attainment, cause some children to drop out. It is "safeguarding" guidance that will directly harm a vulnerable minority of children. Trans children deserve so much better than this.

The evidence of the harm caused by Cass which was the media continues to ignore www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

“I mean, your society’s broken… Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.” —Iain Banks died #OTD, 9 June, 2013 www.theguardian.com/books/2013/j...

Important reminder - a year long 'investigation' took place without even once speaking to any family, child or young person involved. Not even once. Cos the people involved are happy with the care provided, consider it critical and often life-saving care. The investigation is a giant fraud.

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS. These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st). Forced medical detransition. This country is a danger to trans children & young people.
