Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 11h agoA 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."

I think this is all basically correct. Recall the KKK was run basically by professionals and the gentry
McJulie@mcjulie.bsky.social · yesterday“Disproportionately well-represented among the ultra-wealthy” strikes me as a really important part of this equation, and it’s got me thinking back to the stuff released so far from the Epstein Files, and also thinking about the specific pathologies of Elon Musk in particular.
"The much-heralded 21st century is already a quarter over. The grief lingers, and the mistakes cannot be overturned, and the dead do not return from their graves. Same as it ever was: the river of time flows ever onward, and the graveyards are full of indispensable men."

Could you imagine anyone else in the history of history, let alone the President of the United States, so blatantly defiling the memory of our fallen brethren? What a terrible, broken person.

I'll be calling the offices my representative Hillary Scholten today. I don't have any demands, I just want to let her know that I'll be engaged and working the next two years to help find her primary challenger and get them elected. I want an opposition party, not whatever the fuck this is.
