Does Europe still believe in human rights? In an op-ed in EUObserver, I warn that the undermining of the rights of LGBTI people serves as the tip of the spear in a broader backlash against human rights protection overall. #WorldPride www.coe.int/en/web/commi...
One of this fall's most anticipated publications, for me anyway, is no doubt Susan Stryker's "Changing Gender: The History and Future of a Concept". Coming in late August! 💗

WNBA (the org) courted this. They could have nipped this in the bud, but instead they placated anti-trans activists, so now bigots have glomed onto them. If you don't tell them their opinions are vile and are unwelcome, they will destroy you or leech on you forever. just ask amnesty international

1. Amnesty International has withstood threats from death squads and dictators. But it could not stand up to JK Rowling and the anti-trans movement she finances. It has apologized for calling those groups "anti-rights" after legal threats. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The organization has stood up to dictators and death squads, but Rowling and the UK's anti-speech laws were apparently too much.

Prides across Europe are facing violence, intimidation and restrictions. I am appalled by Saturday’s deadly attack in Berlin. As WorldPride begins, the weekend’s events are a stark reminder of why equality must still be defended and hatred must be answered with solidarity. #Pride #humanrights
og kommentarfeltet på bl.a. inyheters fb side som rapporterer om angrepet, ser like forferdelig ut som forventet:
Marianne 🌱🐱🌊 she/her@mariannelakris.bsky.social · last wk.For mye Pride sier du? Snakk til meg når heterofile angripes for å være hetero, når det fins land med forbud mot heterofili. Håper de tre som er kritisk skadd klarer seg. ❤️❤️❤️ www.nrk.no/artikkel/bil...

Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · 2w ago150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.
More context from The Guardian: "The parade ran under the motto “Taking a stand is hot” which organisers said was “in response to increasing hostility” to queer people in Germany...Earlier in the day one person was arrested for resisting police orders at a far-right counterprotest against the event"

Dette er forferdelig men ikke overraskende. I fjor sommer fasiliterte Aftenposten pile-on trakassering av meg + kollegaer etter vi skrev forskningskronikk om reaksjonære antikjønns-aktører i Norge, der vi påpekte redaktørstyrte mediers ansvar for å demme opp for hatefull retorikk mot minoriteter.
Eivind Trædal@eivindtraedal.bsky.social · 2w agoDette er toppen av kransekaka. For en gjeng med feiginger. SELVFØLGELIG ER DET RELEVANT! I stedet skal Aftenposten altså renvaske de høyreekstreme kreftene bak denne oppkonstruerte kampanjen.

"Ugjerningane 22.07.2011 var politisk motiverte+det treng vi å snakke meir om. I staden for å framheve stemmer som brukar ytringsfridomen som eit påskot til å innskrenke ytringsrommet for andre må vi skape ein friast mogleg samtale kring den ideologien som gjorde det mogleg at noko slikt kunne skje"
Nils Henrik@nilshenrik.bsky.social · 2w agoI dag er det femten år sidan terroren i regjeringskvartalet og på Utøya og fem år sidan eg skreiv denne teksten. Eg synst framleis ikkje me er i nærleiken av å ha løyst problema han tek opp, og det gjer meg rasande.
🧵 I morgen er det 15 år siden terrorangrepene 22. juli 2011. I årene siden har mye oppmerksomhet med rette vært rettet mot voksende høyreekstremisme, konspirasjonstenkning og rasistisk hat, særlig mot muslimer og innvandrere. Samtidig snakkes det fortsatt lite om hvor sentralt antifeminisme 1/7

Serano on Riley’s Law: "“once you post transphobia, you never post normally again.” viewing minority groups as “contagious” & a “sexual threat” to the imagined “purity” & “safety” of your own ingroup makes you irrationally obsessed, aggrieved & paranoid." Vi har mange eksempler på dette i Norge ...
