Have Rowling and Navratilova threatened to destroy the NHS over anything else? Like poor maternity care? General poor staffing levels, waiting lists? Stuff that really does affect women?
It gets worse. “Sue the NHS into oblivion!” is IMO class war pure and simple. Presumably Navratilova can afford private healthcare also.
I think it’d help the public to see high profile terfs egging on a zillionaire crackpot to sue the NHS into oblivion. I hope they’re a lot more vocal about wanting this to happen.
I see Martina Navratilova wants the NHS destroyed. Anti-trans bigots, don't you just love them?
Oh no. Next time I need to go into hospital, I’d better decline and instead suffer and perhaps die, as I don’t want to provoke JK Rowling and Martina Navratilova into obliterating the NHS due to my presence near some Terf.
@goodlawproject.org I take it you've seen this. How would you have a lawsuit? You would have to prove that someone was trans. How would you prove that? Would people harassed or even assaulted in toilets be able to take legal action against the perpetrators and their encouragers?
Martina has been posting horrifically racist content as well, demonizing non-white immigrants as sexual predators
JK Rowling protecting women by destroying their access to healthcare. She doesn't give a fuck about women's health and safety. As to Navratilova, she can fuck away off and mind her own business.
The unhinged glee with which they're willing to go full Judge Dredd on anyone or any institution who disagrees with their poisonous world view is genuinely frightening. "Blow up universal healthcare for everyone because they aren't sufficiently persecuting 0.2% of society? 100% behind that m8."
a billionaire threatens to destroy the NHS while a multimillionaire cheers them on. neither of them will ever need to use it. it's grotesque.
Miffythegamer@miffythegamer.bsky.social · 24h agoHere’s Martina NavRATilova suggesting that Rowling should destroy our NHS. This is what happens when formerly ok people get sucked into the TERF pipeline. It robs them of all their humanity & decency, and it turns them into vindictive and poisonous little arseholes.
It's as if they've pre-programmed a fortnight's worth of soundbites, novelty giveaways and gammony snack quips while they're off on their jollies - regardless of what emergencies the country is facing. It's a dereliction of duty. Meanwhile @greenparty.org.uk offer solutions, care and leadership.
A novel—and, no doubt, fleeting—moment of self-awareness.
Don't get your hopes up, but also don't give up on hope entirely. Sometimes we do make a difference. L.A. is not some Tennessee backwater, it's the second largest city in the country, in a state that's the world's 4th largest economy. This reversal is meaningful.
LAPD suspends use of Flock surveillance cameras over privacy issues
Privacy concerns led the LAPD to pause its use of Flock Safety’s license plate surveillance cameras. The company has been criticized for allowing federal and national agencies to access its data.

When GB News tried to make a link between LGBTQ+ people and paedophilia before, Ofcom found the broadcast was highly offensive... and yet did nothing about it. Will it apply proper sanctions this time? https://goodlaw.social/q61l

The original clip posted on X excludes the woman saying “it’s a range of things that is also rape” and Manivannan saying “none of which is less or more worse” - and instead just includes them saying “it’s a spectrum”. Extremely misleading. Misinformation really.
The original clipped post is full of comments saying versions of “oh well this is what would you get when we import people from other cultures” and racist stuff of that sort, which you’d think would give our parliamentarians some pause.
I just cannot understand an interpretation of this interview that sees it as making light of rape or excusing it. Making out that this is what Manivannan is arguing for strikes me as exceptionally reckless.
Like sorry can we be clear that what’s happened here is that a Green MSP did an interview a year ago where they made the point that lots of different acts constitute rape, and now a bunch of Scottish Labour MSPs are sharing a doctored clip of this claiming it’s rape apologism.
So a majority of respondents to the hidden 2019 UK government survey on variations in sex characteristics did not consent to treatments. These treatments include hormonal interventions, removal of gonads, genital reconstruction, dilation, chest reconstruction, and hysterectomy.
19% of people diagnosed with variations of sex characteristics in the hidden 2019 UK government report were first subject to medical procedures at less than 2 years of age. These procedures were often associated with negative impacts on mental health, social life, views of healthcare providers etc
I'm seeing a lot of people invoke the figure of the intersex person in current discourse on sex and gender, especially in relation to the UK government's anti-trans segregation regime. But the actual voices of actual people are getting lost. This buried report offers vital evidence to counter that.
Mitch Travis@profmitchtravis.bsky.social · 21h agoA few weeks ago, after a 7 year delay, the UK government quietly dropped the results of their 2019 Call for Evidence on variations in sex characteristics The results are striking but will of course seem deeply familiar to anyone working in this field. www.gov.uk/government/c...
"Suffering in Silence" is the solution they've all set their cap at. Per #HelenJoyce's piece on a sane world. "Exist if you must; quietly, in the shadows" this appears to be the #Labour way &, given the lack of any kind of acknowledgement; it has the full on continuity endorsement from #AndyBurnham
So the data suggests that whilst 3 in 10 are diagnosed in adulthood, the majority of intersex people only *find out* in adulthood. So a huge chunk of people who are diagnosed as a child but not told until they are older/otherwise find out. I wonder how many never know!
So over the last seven years, we’ve gone from a situation where there is interest in finding out and understanding about intersex people, to one where they’re now seen as a ‘problem’ by those who believe in an absolutist binary, and demand that they be banned from sports, toilets etc.
Wonder if the transphobes will be up in arms about evidence of invasive surgeires and treatments on minors who can't consent in these documents? (We knew it was happening but good to have some numbers) It seems like they are only mad when its consensual and with the advice of multiple Drs + more 🤔
Super interesting to see this data. I have always felt odd because I found out I was intersex so late. But it's actually quite a significant number who are only diagnosed in adulthood (3 in 10).

Two examples of language that will upset the Gender Conservatives: 1. it describes biological Variations in SD rather than Disorders & 2. It doesn't assert a strict binary into which each VSD is placed but talks of the reality of biological spectrum, rather than GC's pet 'gamete potential' fixation
