I see this game, 'The Last Gaeltacht,' is getting a push in the Irish media at the moment. Sadly, it is crammed with AI slop. It's especially bad in this case, as this is precisely the kind of game that I could see schools allowing kids to play, due to it being ostensibly educational.

What is the rate of “false” diagnosis? What is the actual harm done? Especially when the main intervention is “understanding and reasonable adjustments”? Or is this just the transphobic moral panic collecting another set of victims?

Transphobia looks like: - using the terms "Biolgical women" and "Biolgical man" - using the term "trans-identified" - Accepting the segretion of trans + people from their cis peers - Deliberately misgendering a trans + person - Deliberately using their pre-transition name

This is a excellent list! Maybe talk to your nearest Labour MP about this

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

For a long time I've heard rumours of Reform UK supporting Islamophobes who warn of dangers of Sharia law happily holidaying and buying flats in Dubai which runs under Sharia law If true, they should be forced to wear a T-shirt proclaiming 'I'm a far right hypocrite' meme via We Demand UK

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

What if fiscal headroom doesn't exist? youtu.be/Xp-pnyJU_n4?... In the run-up to the Budget, there is going to be a lot of talk about fiscal headroom, but the reality is that this is just a figment of a Chancellor's imagination, just as fiscal rules are.

It's the same underlying logic as Nazi racial laws: Being trans is somehow demaning to the cis, and the cis gender honor must be protected. I wish more people realized the horrific parallels.

People forget we exist': Why older LGBTQ+ community fears losing identity... "It's very common for people to hide things if they have a carer visiting their home, for example hiding their wedding photos or taking down a trans flag," he says www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why growing older LGBTQ+ community in Britain fears losing identity

A report suggests older LGBTQ+ people experience more social isolation than their heterosexual peers.

If your MP needs a little nudge about the forthcoming EU debate, show them this:

Don't know who made this. But we love you for making it ❤️

Worst is when I hear Americans saying "TERF Island" when the UK was leading Europe in terms of LGBTQ freedom and was on the verge of self registration of change of legal sex, until American Christian Nationalism gained access to UK governments at top level in about 2018.

This is what has happened already in the UK. Progressives in the US should pay very close attention, and not copy the same mistakes. We will not go quietly, nor lay down and die. Just like all the LGBT+ movements before us.

this is what we're all telling you. a democratic majority that includes talarico and others like him is more dangerous to us. because the 'reasonable' versions of anti-trans bills will get written and passed and you all will go back to brunch and not care. you don't care what happens to us.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth
