A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.

A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England." The post text reads: "Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet. His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets. In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet. He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets. I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now." The post has an orange "Comments Moderated" tag, 169 upvotes, and 134 comments.

Woke up to this news and I’m beyond disgusted. It’s a US *constitutional right* now to create and own ‘CSAM,’ as long as it was made with AI?? AI gen images are built from real images, of real children. This directly re-exploits every single CSAM survivor. (More in 🧵) #abolition #trafficking

A federal judge has ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess child sexual abuse content created using Al if it does not depict a real person and remains in the home. On Tuesday, Judge John Z. Lee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th District ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess images or videos of child sexual abuse created using artificial intelligence if the material does not depict a real person and remains in the home. In his ruling, Judge Lee urged the Supreme Court to reconsider the issue of virtual abuse material of children in the age of Al, suggesting that technological advances complicate existing legal precedent. The case Lee ruled on came about in 2024 when the Department of Justice brought charges against Steven Anderegg, alleging that he used Al to create thousands of explicit images of children. He was accused of breaking federal obscenity laws by producing, distributing and possessing obscene visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Anderegg sought to have the possession and production charges dismissed under the First Amendment. Last year, a judge in the Western District of Wisconsin agreed to dismiss the possession charge, prompting the federal prosecutors to appeal. Lee, in his ruling upholding the lower court's decision, cited the precedent set by Supreme Court rulings from 1969 and 2002. One held that individuals have a right to possess obscenity in the privacy of their home. The other found that "virtual" child sexual abuse material, not depicting a real person is not child pornography.

Ich möchte das präzisieren: Frau Akane & alle anderen betroffenen Mitglieder des Internationalen Gerichtshofs, werden von der US-Regierung ganz explizit aus einem Grund ihrer bürgerlichen Existenz beraubt: der Haftbefehl gegen Benjamin Netanyahu & Yoav Gallant. DE ist eigentlich verpflichtet,

Nur weil sie es wagt, Kriegsverbrechen zu verfolgen, entzieht Trump der Präsidentin des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs Konto, Kreditkarte & Onlinedienste. Ihre Familie darf nicht mehr in die USA einreisen. Merz schweigt. Europa murrt, aber tut nichts. Warum lassen wir das unwidersprochen laufen?

Biggest petpeeve auf der Arbeit: Leute melden sich auf der Homepage an, mit falscher Firmierung, und beschweren sich dann, dass die Rechnung an eine falsche Firmierung geht. Dann gib sie halt richtig an???☠️

And there it is. JK Rowling personally and publicly offering to bankroll litigation against Amnesty International using her massive wealth.

A screenshot of a social media thread on X (formerly Twitter) featuring two posts by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling). ​The first post reads: 'Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org'. ​This first post includes a quote post from the account Trans Widows’ Voices. (@transwidows) that says: 'Whilst I understand the detriment to Beira's Place is real, and focussing on @jk_rowling get clicks it's a shame that mainstream press coverage of the Amnesty debacle is not also focussing on us smaller groups listed who do ...' ​The second post, a reply in the thread by J.K. Rowling, reads: 'Gay men's organisations named on the list are welcome to contact me through my website. While the JK Rowling's Fund was set up to support women, JK Rowling herself is more than happy to donate to your legal fighting fund.'"

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
