I cannot empahsise this enough; I am just some dickhead. If you have experience living in the world as a trans person and a baseline level of intellectual curiosity about the world you have the same qualifications to do this stuff I do.
If there are three things I want to impress on everybody who reads anything I write they are:
* It's about power
* Don't take fascists at face value
* I am literally just some dickhead

Take Action to Restore Access to Gender‑Affirming Surgeries in Wales – TransActual
The Welsh Gender Service has been instructed to stop referring people for surgery, and people who already had surgery dates booked have had their surgeries cancelled without any warning. This includes people who were already in hospital ready for their operations.

Absolutely wild to perceive people making demands of politicians you happen to support as blackmailing you tbh. I cannot imagine being so fucking pathetic that I'd ever have this degree of total fucking identification with career politicians and party hacks.
&, basic fact about human psychology, people don't like being blackmailed
all sorts of other groups in the party who could've made such threats & didn't cane to loathe those who did

The thing with the to do over trans people in sports is that beyond the issue of principle it's an important test of cis people's ability to actually check whether their assumptions about us are true before acting on them.

To be clear – I would argue this is almost certainly unlawful discrimination under the Equality Act 2010, even under the Code of Practice.
A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
![A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."

Once again the violability of trans people is fundamental to GC ideology. It is load bearing for fuckers like Forstater that it is okay to harm trans people.

Politicians only talk about "hard working families" so when your ability to work and entitlement to family life is ripped away from you by a cult of bigots, you become marginalised no matter what.
The contradiction of GCs raising grievance when they got what they wanted is a feature not a bug.

It's been really striking watching Bluesky (and broader) debates on the assisted dying bill from otherwise progressive ppl with ZERO inclusion of disabled experiences and insights.

When disabled people oppose Assisted Dying, it’s almost never from a religious point of view.
It’s not because we’re anti-choice or that we want to force people to suffer.
We oppose it because society devalues disabled lives and uses these programs in an unethical manner.
They become eugenics. 🧵

"she has been stalked by people who viewed images of her abuse online" is one of those sentences that just. what can you say about a world that produces this? about the people who do it?
We spoke to several women, now adults, after finding images of their abuse on X. One said the abuse was like a rock tossed into a pond, and the spread of the images are ripples that continue to disrupt her life. Here is how another woman described X's role:
