The people who asked for this are a small number of cis women who could easily just use the third space they are trying to push trans people & gender non conforming people into. I'm cis I don't want to share single sex spaces with people who question people about their genitals/baby genitals.

The new EHRC code of practice gives the same power of harassment and leching to every abusive person and sex pest that Trump had when he owned Miss World.

I need glasses to see, I'd really like this tech to F off. It's weird to film/photograph people like this. If someone sees a camera they can ask for photos to be deleted, ideally consent given first. Some events people will expect to be photographed, they can still say no. Perv specs are weird.

Ben Goldacre wrote a book called "Bad Science". To the best of my knowledge he has never publicly called out the transphobic Cass Review. Yet, he's all polite form when it comes to criticising the transphobic Rod Liddle after he's dead. He cares more about his dead mates than living trans people.

Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.

Honesty about how people live is healthy. If the legacy is you'll be remembered for a short while as someone who harmed people that's a choice. If people worry about legacy do better. Kids scream at me on the street like a rock star. I help Sen kids, I'm gentle & kind when they are vulnerable.

Rod Liddle spent years spouting divisive and hateful rhetoric - turning other people’s lives into clickbait, culture wars and newspaper copy for money. Now the privileged media class are passing judgment from the safety of their TV studios and opinion pages on the very people who he targeted

I am saddened by the tone of commentary in this place about my former BBC colleague.
The level of vitriol seems more suited to the other place. I worked with Rod at the Today programme. He took no prisoners, but he was witty and personally capable of genuine warmth. My sympathy to his family.

Maybe there is a lesson in the sudden flux of bigots dying. Everyone dies, time is coming for everyone no matter how someone lives. If people feel bad about the language being used by awful people dying maybe worried it'll happen to you. Don't be a POS in life & people won't laugh when you die.

Shame on you @sianberry.bsky.social Holding a sign of Coward International at an LGBTQ march. They just set trans rights back still further and now you, as GPEW, have done the same.

Why was @sianberry.bsky.social a Green MP marching with @amnestyuk.bsky.social who have legitimised hate groups by apologising to organisations attacking trans rights. Why was amnesty even at a LGBTQ+ march @brightonpride.bsky.social? Maybe someone has a better photo or Sian & Pride could explain?

The parade was a mix of local & corporate stuff. I saw Sian Berry walking with amnesty international which seems off as I genuinely thought she was an ally. Maybe she missed the memo. There were so many rainbow flags, many signs saying pride was a protest (including Sian's)

Pride LGBTQ community parade is today. The route starts at 11am on Hove Lawns & finishes near Preston Park at Preston Circus. www.brighton-pride.org/pride-parade...

Brighton LGBTQ Pride Route

A map of Brighton

The route is in pink, 

it starts at Hove lawns, heads towards the piers (east) along the seafront,

It heads north on West Street towards the clock tower,

At the clock tower it goes east on North Street towards the Stein,

Then goes North along London Road & finishes at Preston circus (near Preston Park).

Preston Park is where Pride in the park is held.

Something Amnesty International did not consider when they capitulated to a billionaire: If the UK cannot defend human rights on the home front what hope for people abroad living under more repressive states? Once you lose credibility?...

The most tragic part of this whole shit show fail parade is that @amnestyuk.bsky.social and @amnesty.org will continue with their talk as if they are committed to human rights, and the majority of the cis world will shrug and keep on patting them on the back, just like they keep reading the NYT.😞

A dark day for human rights.

four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.
