"The results are in: most people think you aren't a degenerate that should be put against the wall! Congratulations" "Wait, we're polling for that?"
God, having to see polls all the time about whether the rest of society thinks you're a human who should be treated as a human and given the rights of a human is fucking dire regardless of what those polls even say
Losing elder queer allies/icons like Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, Catherine O'Hara and Anthony Stewart Head just feels so goddamn awful in this environment.
This is factually true but you can't criticize JK Rowling in the UK without having ruinous lawfare threatened against you.
It’s been genuinely fascinating seeing the “gender critical” reaction to that article, because their issue with it is that it doesn’t have enough focus on their hatred of trans people. I’d love to know what BBC they’re watching that they seem to think has a pro-trans bias.
“Why is Pride facing a backlash?” BBC News ponders after spending years orchestrating a backlash.
I’m going to need allies to start reaffirming their allyship monthly because I trust no one
Oh ffs Rupert Grint!?! Really? (He’s apparently joining the HP play on Broadway)
Brown needs to talk to Burnham about “divisive & dangerous” politics. Andy Burnham is - by a very long distance - the most transphobic Prime Minister ever, imposing EHRC anti-trans “guidance” &, in a few days the state-mandated bullying of trans kids in school; ten times worse than Section 28.
This totally makes coming into the office worth it 😊
Read through the article The only evidence of any scandal is people are being referred for surgery, which is a normal function of the WGS, and one mother doesn't like that her adult child is getting treated by the WGS That's it...
Nick Wallis continues to exploit is previously minor role in the post office scandal story to give provenance to his name when proliferating the same “the kids are being transed” as any other Times hack. This is why he has been on-boarded by the LGB Alliance et al.
So she is able to say out loud she is gender critical now. That's wild tbh. I remember when bigots would at least try a little to hide, give their masters some plausible deniability
Our institutions are absolutely infested with wackos, cranks and racist crackpots. It’d take a decade to remove them even if we started tomorrow.
Completely untenable to have someone who talks about a minority group like this in charge of anything, let alone being the final say in matters of equality and human rights
Abolish the EHRC and start from the ground up, I’m so serious. It’s beyond saving, it has no legitimate authority and is little more than an institution for transphobia.

Labour failing trans people: the most anti-LGBT+ government since Thatcher. An update for the Burnham era. Part 1/2.

The Jason Arday tragedy predictably turned into a finger pointing circus. But it’s weird that not enough people are pointing fingers at journalists.

Dr Arday’s tragic death was the direct, foreseeable result of press harrassment, with racism playing a key role We're asking the prime minister to commission an immediate public inquiry ito ensure we never see a tragic death like Dr Arday's again goodlaw.social/n1ck
So I’m back. I think I’m gonna change the way I engage with social media though. I doomscroll a lot and let it weigh me down and that just isn’t sustainable. As shit as things are I think I do need to focus on the positives in my life more.
I’m gonna disappear from BlueSky for a while. My roommate is gonna keep me up to speed with anything I need to be aware of. Otherwise I’m gonna put myself in an early grave. She handles this stuff way better than I do.
We should stand with our trans community and push back on what is happening
