It's like Amnesty International UK have never heard of the Streisand Effect. I fully intend on challenging this DMCA strike and force them to litigate this in federal court in the US if they want to take it down. This is squarely fair use.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.

The BBC increasingly just report on what is being said by the billionaire press. They allow them to set the agenda which means our national conversation becomes about same trivial nonsense the Daily Mail are talking about. And it's becoming deadly. novaramedia.com/2026/08/13/b...

#OtD 8 Aug 1845 UK Parliament passed an enclosure act taking away public land and appointing officials who could enclose more land without approval from MPs – one of 5,000 such acts passed. This dispossession created the working class stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1076...

I'm not 100%, but I think there's two problems with this: -GCism isn't grassroots. It's pretty clearly been dark money boosted. -I sincerely don't believe their infrastructure would function for anything pro-social. The vector of their 'peaking' worked because of the content, which was hate.

People want to hear this even less, but the left/liberals need to study the TERF movement as an example of wildly successful organising and cultural engineering by an extremely niche, mostly online micro-community.

"Give him more than a week" say the people who have not been segregated from society, while he rolls out even more anti-trans policies and gives positions of power to people who hate us.

Worth adding some numbers to this. The British press decided to make trans rights into an issue. It just wasn’t an issue before. This was a top-down decision. shado-mag.com/articles/opi...

Every now and then, it’s worth saying what ought to be obvious: trans people have always existed, and will exist as long as humans do. They’ve not done anything wrong by wanting their existence recognised, supported, and celebrated. The transformation of their existence into “an issue” is evil.

1. In an incredible new landmark review, the Health Council of the Netherlands has declared that gender-affirming care for trans youth works, reducing wait times is "morally urgent," and regret is rare. It is the latest of many Euro countries to advance care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The review finds that wait times must be shortened, that few people detransition, and that trans youth care has enormous benefits.

Ten years ago in the UK, even conservative MPs were supportive of self ID and warned about the dangers of trans bathroom bans in the US. Now a center left labour government is implementing a nationwide bathroom ban by fiat on August 5th without even so much as a vote.

JK Rowling signed the Harper's Letter just so you know how full of shit everyone who signed it was.

The fact that not a single MSM outlet has reported on JK Rowling threatening Amnesty International into silence & forcing them to censor factual reporting is horrifying & shameful. There’s not been a more egregious attack on free speech & human rights in the anglosphere’s recent history

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

When trans people are under attack, "don't be political" is not an option. And we'll never be silent when a Labour Government are making life impossibly hard for trans people. We see you. And we stand with you. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It's always lovely to see people supporting the LGBT+ community. Someone needs to tell London Labour Assembly Members who all abstained this week on a motion standing up for trans rights and challenging the EHRC. Why abstain on people's human rights and then "celebrate" Pride?

It is the dawn of a new era. Hear our battle anthem. Welcome to the new InfoWars.

I know there are trans people right now, wondering if anyone is going to stand up for their simple right to exist. Well, I am.

Yes. If you're a bigot who wants to divide communities, a billionaire wanting to preserve your wealth or a "newspaper" that wants to preserve power: we're very sinister indeed. To everyone else: feels a lot like hope. Join.greenparty.org.uk

At this point, I genuinely believe the entire public is being actively gaslit by both the media, and Esther Ghey herself, into forgetting that Brianna Ghey was murdered, by people she knew from school, in real life, who were partly influenced by transphobia, fuelled by the media and politicians.

A new study of 445 adolescents treated at pediatric gender clinics in Canada found that after a mean 2.4 years, 94.6% still identified as trns. Of the 353 who started hormonal treatments, 1.1% discontinued them. www.jahonline.org/article/S105...
