'Fascism and the Women’s Cause offers a vital and unvarnished insight into the ways in which historical campaigns for women’s rights often intertwined with far right and fascist ideas about gender, race, class, and empire.' Thank you @drkatw.bsky.social and @reacpolrn.bsky.social for the review.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Excellent podcast with @sisyphusa.bsky.social on Starmer channelling Enoch Powell There is pattern in British history of “whiteness riots” which are then followed by state rhetoric and legislation to appease the racists: 1919, 1958 and now 2024. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

Finally got my copy yesterday and jumped straight into it Brilliant book as expected and so necessary at a time when reactionaries aim to divide us, cosplaying as defenders of women's rights and the liberal centre conveniently laps it up Order yours here: www.ebb-magazine.com/books/p/fasc...

Can’t wait to start reading this new book. Their last book was a pivotal one for me and this one couldn’t be more timely. (and the intro is 🔥) @sisyphusa.bsky.social @ebb.bsky.social

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of author, poet, and anti-capitalist theorist Joshua Clover. We were lucky enough to speak with Clover in 2017 on our podcast. May his work continue to be an inspiration. itsgoingdown.org/make-world-s...

tl;dr = A rough-and-ready review of two important books: one published six weeks ago and the other today. Both of them explaining the trans exclusionary politics of the present by looking for models from the past. livesrunning.wordpress.com/2025/04/23/b...

Before JK Rowling or Maya Forstater

It is a joy to see these two histories appearing within weeks of each other. They are both timely, in explaining the precursors to today’s reactionary feminism. Each book begins with contempo…

The UK Supreme Court’s transphobic ruling on the definition of woman last week is a defeat for all women—even, ultimately, the self-described feminists celebrating it, and the women who will gain in the short term from their alliance with the carceral state. my latest for @thenation.com

The UK's Anti-Trans Ruling Is a Defeat for All Women

Even the self-described feminists celebrating the Supreme Court's attempt to banish trans people from womanhood will pay a heavy price.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Such a lovely endorsement from @reproutopia.bsky.social The book is out soon, April 29th! Preorders really help out and this is a brilliant, important book too.

My analysis of today's UK Supreme Court judgment. The UK Supreme Court Rules That Trans Women Aren't Women Under the Equality Act 2010 www.wearequeeraf.com/uk-supreme-c...

UK Supreme Court Rules That Trans Women Aren’t Women under the Equality Act 2010

The legal definition of a woman in the UK now excludes trans people: This is what it means for Trans+ rights in the country

There are lots of us and we are well organised and connected to each other. However hostile the conditions get we will be able to look after each other as we already do. We're inventive and the law has never stopped us before nor has it stopped the oppression we face.

The Equality Act was passed in 2010, it was not the source of the social progress that led to it’s creation and it has not been the source for the progress that followed (nor has it protected us from regression). The ruling today is a bump on the road towards trans liberation, not the end of it.
