I believe that focusing too hard on the human rights aspect of UK trans struggle is a losing strategy. Reform is rising in the polls, and a central policy right now is to abandon the ECHR. In a fausian bargain, Labour will potentially offer that referendum, and the media will...

Today, as many of us will sadly be aware, the Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 guidance came into force. This guidance will not keep children safe. I have written to the Minister for Education, telling her that she is fully responsible for the harm this guidance will cause these poor kids.

Carter G. Woodson's famous 1933 work The Mis-Education of the Negro includes a discussion of these kinds of cases. Medical textbooks of the era reminded students of the higher rates of diseases including STIs in Black populations. True, relevant information. But what effects did it have? 3/

It's been wild to watch this week as everyone in the UK media is like "we have successfully protected women and girls from the evil transgendererers!" while also posting glowing tributes to this woman-beating pedophile.

i do not care if he personally asked people or not ( i doubt he did) but this is what happens to trans people any time a famous person treats us like shit. on here. this is harassment and it is ken's responsibility to do something about it.
this is kens fault. I have assholes combing my account apparently looking for anything they can report. I already deleted all posts prior to last week because I have been harassed off this once before.
I have an email that says a post and my account were restored for not being in violation yet nothing explaining why I was suspended in the first place.

This is the play in every single industry at the moment. A massive bailout for mediocre white underachievers .
After a middling WNBA career, blonde haired, blue eyed Sophie Cunningham has positioned herself for post-basketball success and riches as a conservative mouthpiece. This is the pattern that always works because conservatives are very very dumb and will latch onto anyone who promotes hate.

not a single mention of transgender ppl or the fact that jk rowling lobbied, successfully, to strip us of our civil rights and legal protections.

it’s not possible to take someone like @georgemonbiot.bsky.social seriously on a topic such as this. his personal biases blind him.

i don't believe cowardice is the only reason for amnesty international's decision and that framing is doing JK Rowling's PR for her as this unstoppable legal machine which - when cases are actually challenged in court - is not always true. i think AI leadership is sympathetic to GC orgs and causes

But segregating trans people is alright and not political violence?

I don't see these same people speaking out against the actual political violence our government is currently acting out. They'd rather get pissy about a repost of a picture of a guy wearing a t-shirt.

"My trans experience is the most authentic because it left me bitter and cynical" okay, so, the Calvinists have discovered transsexualism, I see.

There are a lot of well-meaning guidelines on suicide prevention that frankly should not apply when the government is intentionally causing a suicide epidemic in a specific minority population.

Two notions should appear in anyone's head who looks at British Politics right now. Firstly "Parliament is Sovereign", and Carl Schmitt's "Sovereign is he who decides on the state of exception." The British System has an illusion of rule of law but there are constant exceptions.

I'm tired of saying this, but trans rights has become the earliest and biggest signal as to how serious a politician is about defeating modern fascism.

Modern fascism is using trans people as the sharp end of the wedge. If politicians accept the wedge, they aren't interested in stopping it.
Andy Burnham remains my top enemy because of his U-turn on trans rights. There is no coming back from that. There is no wait and see, and there is no rehabilitation. It is a final, unforgivable line crossed.

when I cite lists like this at liberals they either

A. demand a source for each point that explicitly says exactly these things because they refuse to try to read between the lines, then nitpick every source they are provided

or

B. block me instantly

so many people just refuse to believe us.

"I don't like being called cis"

"I don't like being called white"

"I don't like being called abled"

That's because you view yourself as "normal" or "the default" and everyone else as *not*.

Viewing yourself as the baseline is just another form of prejudice. It's just a more implicit type.

I live in West Lothian, where this danger was given access to children and listened to by politicians. They all went totally silent after this and are pretending no one remembers. But we all remember in West Lothian when they sent a pedo for our kids

Thing about British Steel being nationalised is there is no argument around nationalising it that doesn't also apply to the universities except "steel is boy coded :) and teaching is girl coded :("

Legitimately had a guy all “chips are better cooked in animal fat & beans on toast is made with butter & Worcester sauce” & when I pushed back at the silliness he was like “I bet you have no culinary experience & have a rancid kitchen”.

Like they’re SO angry at the idea of enjoying vegan food.
There are LBC fans arguing that food containing no animal products isn’t vegan, but “suitable for vegans” because for some reason, the idea that chips are vegan is upsetting them.

Anyway if only someone cool had made a video essay about the politics of food, meat & veganism…

I think the langauge of "anti rights" is too weak and cautious, I would rather just go directly to calling sex matters a neo-fascist organisation because their segregation of gendered people is inherently an extension of fascist patriarchial logic, plus they have the backing of US christofascists.

It's great to wake up and think that 95% of y'all would've happily let the nazis destroy the lives of Jewish people, Roma, the disabled, and anyone they deemed subhuman in the 1930s because your apathy towards trans people, disabled people, the Roma and irish travellers TODAY speaks volumes.

The true acid test of whether Burnham means what he says about turning away from the dark, divisive politics of the US is trans rights, the huge assault on which came from the US and is bankrolled with US dark money.
Andy Burnham: ".. I do say to my own party, this is a final chance to change. This is what people said directly to me on the hundreds of doorsteps that I stood on. We must hear it, we must act upon it & we must get it right. There will be no second chance"
