Belfast writer. He/him. NUJ. I mostly moan about the media, politics & Arsenal. "Big beast transgender activist" [The Telegraph]. The Trans Agenda reports on anti-trans media coverage in UK papers, subscribe here transagenda.info

"The Equality Act always discriminated against trans people, we just read it wrong for fifteen years" is right up there with the standards of jurisprudence we're coming to expect from the Anglosphere these days.

Trans guy here, with NB 16 yr old. This one really kills me, because my baby really wanted to be on puberty blockers when they were younger. But you can guess how that went. On the other hand, their new provider recently suggested putting them on Ozempic...🙃Fun times.

Do try to remember that the EHRC guidance only affects service providers and not employment, so if you work somewhere where there are toilets or changing rooms for employees that aren’t open to the public then your employers are wrong if they try to stop you from using facilities for your gender

"Caroline Savage, 73, died after increasing the dose of the Mounjaro weight-loss drug she had been taking for about four months, a coroner’s court was told yesterday." Times front page. Reminder, they banned puberty blockers for trans kids despite there being zero harm.

This is what they expected and wanted to happen: that members of the public, shown the cops would take their side if they kicked off and went mental at anyone they suspected of being a transgender, would then start going apeshit en masse and enforce their wacko ideas for them.
