A trans couple has been brutalized by a mob, and then the trans woman ended up being arrested afterwards, at a public bathroom in Louisiana. EITM writer S Baum investigates this horrible act of violence in our latest piece. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-coup...

Trans Couple Brutalized At Louisiana Park Bathroom, Then Charged By Police

An angry mob allegedly beat them. The police charged them. The municipality voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom ordinances in the country.

This one goes into my media training under 'How an interview can fuck things up even more'. The closest thing to clarity is the statement 'Human beings are really good at telling the sex of someone they are talking to' which is unfortunate unless the EHRC is into sex policing by stereotype.

To be fair, “Councillors and council elections don’t matter” are a load-bearing part of the “Kemi Badenoch is doing well and the Conservative party’s prospects under her are looking good” thesis.

Even some transphobes are finally noticing that Linehan is a racist extremist now.

do you think we can answer this now, lads?

It's Burnham's Bathroom Bill now and he'll never be forgiven.

This is definitely a plan here and I'd assume the DUP will help where they can

I've heard that the GC event in Belfast encouraged people to join trans supportive groups in order to change 'hearts and minds' from within. Organisations need to take note that this is most certainly a problem and it needs nipped in the bud.

The tweets weren't enough for Rosie Duffield. She had to write an UnHerd piece about her dear friend Rod Liddle, how awful social media is, and how his caution for a "domestic incident" is none of our business. When you think about how she's been talking about trans women for years. Jesus Christ.

Credit to Badenoch, this was a totally unsurprising news alert until the final clause when my eyes popped out of my head like a cartoon character.

I have been a lifelong hater of Good Charlotte ever since they released “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” and somehow there are 3 rich and famous people offered as examples in that song and they’re all Black. Real specific choices about who gets called out for “always complaining”

Wild to see this lot have to thread this needle. How, indeed, have we got ourselves into a mess where an actual neo nazi who was imprisoned for harassing a Jewish Labour MP is not getting the all channels screaming headlines treatment as when, ten years ago, his actions could be blamed on the left?

First, you tell me to get a hobby; now it's an “appropriate hobby”.

& when you say "no, it means in the pub trans people can't use either men or women's toilets" there's this kinda blank stare you get the same thing describing republican policy in the simplest terms: people just don't believe you because it sounds nuts

& tbf, if you'd only caught the odd statement from labour or our purportedly liberal press, you'd think this is like, general trans-inclusion, but if a rape crisis centre wants to limit services to cis women, they can

i've found many cis people either: ▪️ don't know anything about this at all ▪️ or imagine it *allows* service providers to be trans-exclusionary, rather than *mandates* that & are only now catching up

Elizabeth Taylor@elizabethtaylor47.bsky.social · 15h ago

This is what we need to hear more of. And we need to forgive people when they say this. Better late than never - we need more people to speak up and speak louder however late they join the fight.

Turned it back on an he seemed to be wrapping up the segment by saying sorry for not speaking out louder against this guidance before now 👀

when the revised code dropped a lot of lab mps where like "wait, how do services be trans inclusive if they want to?" &, like, they can't. that's the whole point this is what we've been trying to tell you for almost 2 years & you've been blithely ignoring us

Again, look at who gets the benefit of the doubt. Look at who is automatically villainous, and all that is required is to establish the precise nature of their criminality. The British press is infested with clowns like this, it selects for them specifically.
