I've heard that the GC event in Belfast encouraged people to join trans supportive groups in order to change 'hearts and minds' from within. Organisations need to take note that this is most certainly a problem and it needs nipped in the bud.

"Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Attacking a vulnerable minority and attempting to segregate them out of society whilst hiding behind weasel words like complete cowards. A dark day for the UK.

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Damaging new guidance from the EHRC will shut out Trans people from daily life simply for existing, and anyone who doesn't conform to narrow ideas of how people should look could face suspicion and confrontation. We are taking a stand against this attack on human rights.

It remains illegal to discriminate against trans people or anyone you think might be trans. Inter alia, we retain the human rights to privacy.

The perv glasses defenders don't seem to feeling great. Post needs reported.

Oh noooooo. If you want to be kind to him tell him it's not his fault he got suckered by the AI industry, but take it from a professional editor (me), AI-"assisted" works are a death sentence in the marketplace right now, and authors who have hid it get found out and their careers ended.

No budget to hire artists but here are some opinions about economics using AI slop. Respect my credentials! 😒

Richard Murphy@richardjmurphy.bsky.social · yesterday

Much of what is said about economics is little better than gaslighting.... I used AI tools when writing this post, including a spell checker. I also used 50 years of experience writing about these issues. The drawing was the smallest part of all that, and I had no budget to do it any other way.

The web of UK media and power is clearly decrepit. How anyone could sing the praises of such depravity and evil of Rod Liddle is beyond the pale and yet they're all at it. Disgust doesn't even begin to cover it.

Evidence of the great benefits of AI: it used to take a huge amount of time and effort to make yourself look this stupid; now AI allows you to humiliate yourself almost instantly.

The State Department said ​it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

People in the Establishment do not, under any circumstances, want to allow a precedent to be set that the peasantry are justified in criticising them. Sure it's absurdly embarrassing for Goldacre to defend a fascist paedophile but he'd find allowing the scum to talk back even more upsetting.

He is now medically very far from woke. Which I guess is what he would have wanted.

The actual left: Human rights, a livable planet, economy that works for everyone, immigration is beneficial etc. Centrists, Liberals and moderates: Are fascists misunderstood? We should hear out the white supremacist perspective, Is clean water actually bad? Maybe we should tax the rich less etc

A white supremacist superpower has been ruthlessly and sadistically oppressing a nearby developing island nation – that’s never committed an offense against it – for decades. For absolutely no rational, justifiable reason whatsoever.

The EU is about to ban 'video glasses' because they break invasion of privacy laws. The UK needs to ban them too.

You have to wonder why anyone is still protecting Israel though. If they constantly start fights with everyone around them, they should expect to be punched back. Should also read: Europe, US security guarantees are useless. Maybe kick out out the paper tiger, US extortionists and their bases.

JK Rowling centre says Amnesty apology does not solve ‘reputational damage’ — The Independent

Beira’s Place was among organisations labelled ‘anti-rights’ in a briefing document.

This situation today was deeply triggering. It feels personal and I hope Amnesty International course correct asap or stop lying to the public about who they are as an organisation and what they actually support, because it certainly isn't Human Rights. Despicable decision to side with abusers.

Helen 🏳️‍⚧️✊🏻💕@mimmymum.bsky.social · 5d ago

The email from Amnesty International UK is even more gaslighting than their public statement… 😖 Including ‘gender critical’ transphobic tropes such as “rolling back women’s hard won rights” and treating trans people with “dignity”! F*ck them!!! 😖😣 Donation cancelled.

But anyway help fund @wearequeeraf.com and @whatthetrans.com who actually do the work to stand up for the community and report on issues despite threats.
