This blog was written by the guy who edited Graham Linehan's memoir who is simply flabbergasted to find that the bulk of his "gender critical" allies support a racist bookshop in his locality, and yet, cannot find the obvious conclusion: the GC movement is bigoted. 1/ kaygreen.blog/2026/08/09/t...

The alarming tale of the far right bookshop in rural Suffolk

Guest blogger Simon Edge was horrified to find a far-right bookshop on his doorstep. He was even more horrified to discover it was backed to the hilt by some prominent gender critical figures. The …

Shock horror: Hugh Laurie joins the gender-critical chorus. And the response says it all: “you can almost taste the TRA tears.” There it is. Not safeguarding, not principle: tribalism and the pleasure of seeing trans people hurt. Laurie has simply chosen his side.

This is it. Their big idea was: we will end the culture wars by conceding to the crank right across the board, on everything. As they were repeatedly warned, the crank right always banks every concession then demands more and crazier things, now emboldened because they know we are weak and stupid.

Just so predictable. Labour got themselves into this because those who aren't True Believers thought they could appease those who are then the issue would go away. Not so. The GCs are obsessives attempting a top down reorientation of our culture to spite a minority they despise. They must be fought.

Just remember: TERFs don’t matter.

This transphobic code of practice is going cause immense harm to trans people's everyday lives. And lots of women's and disabled people's. We think we can stop it. But not without your help 👇

Fight back against the code of practice

The government’s transphobic code of practice is now up and running. But we’re not going to take it, we’re helping to fight back. Join us

1/1/11 Sharon Davies' endorsement of Kathleen Stock is instructive. A young woman's walking stick is converted into a "concerning trend". Her disability is not examined. Her credibility is placed on trial before any evidence is heard.

1/6 Well, there it is. What begins with trans people rarely remains confined to trans people. Once society accepts that one minority may be treated as deluded, contagious or fraudulent, the machinery does not retire. It looks for its next subject.

“Judge me by my actions” you say. Very well. The EHRC has converted statutory interpretation into prescriptive exclusion, declaring trans inclusion “very likely” unlawful although the Court ordered no blanket exclusion and expressly disclaimed policymaking. That is regulatory overreach.

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

1/14 Today the EHRC Code takes effect. It is restrictive, serious and open to challenge. But begin with law, not the triumphalism of those pretending trans people have been outlawed. We have not. Gender reassignment remains a protected characteristic under the Equality Act.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

1/4 I am astounded by the canonisation of Rod Liddle. He argued for decriminalising the viewing of child sexual abuse material and wrote that he could not imagine becoming a secondary-school teacher without trying to “shag the kids”. These were his published words, not allegations.

Meanwhile laying on my sofa this evening, immersed in Tchaikovsky: the blazing Violin Concerto and the tender, intimate Souvenir d’un lieu cher. Janine Jansen, Daniel Harding and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra make every phrase feel alive. An amazing, exhilarating end to the day.

The irony is grotesque. The self-styled “protectors of women and girls” are eulogising Rod Liddle: a man who argued against criminalising the viewing of child sexual-abuse images, wrote about trying to have sex with school pupils, and accepted a police caution for assaulting his pregnant partner.

Whilst the haters hate and some self-appointed allies seek to grant or withhold permission for us to act, I’m simply living my life openly, happily and without asking anyone’s permission.

FIFTH THOUGHT OF THE DAY… Brexit was and is a paperwork Berlin wall to keep the UK population locked up on this rancid island. To keep them from experiencing how better other countries do things and how better off they are. A policy for ignorant people by ignorant people and to keep us ignorant.

Amnesty have issued an apology to JK Rowling and the rest. Adjust your expectations, and donations, accordingly www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...

What I want for trans + people in the UK. The puberty blocker ban lifted. The toilet ban scrapped. Supreme Court ruling overtuned/made ineffective. An informed consent model for gender affirming care. Self ID. Non-Binary people legaly recognised. No trans + censorship in schools.

1/12 I’ve been thinking about what a recent exchange with a self-described cis-het trans ally revealed. This goes beyond one unpleasant argument. It concerns an allyship that supports trans people in the abstract while reserving the right to decide when we may defend ourselves.

I have donated to @amnesty.org in the past, but I won't be doing so again after @amnestyuk.bsky.social's pathetic apology to Rowling. In future I'll give my money to organisations that retain a spine

A dark day for human rights.
