McBride tried several times to be a "sensible moderate" by calling trans rights a distraction and in the Klein interview, blaming trans advocacy for the anti-trans panic, instead of the utter capture of the media.
She didn't have to do that, and she hasn't really walked back her support for Israel.

McBride is a spineless assimilationist that supports an apartheid ethnostate enacting genocide, imagine coming around on her because she acted with the bare minimum regard for those who share her specific marginalization.

I remember being at a protest against the SC ruling and a speaker mentioned that trans women could now be strip searched my male transport police. Looking around and just seeing the disgust on the faces of all the cis people there and hearing it expressed.
perhaps this is overly optimistic but I think there are a lot of people like that around. maybe they don't fully "get" the e.g. trans "issue" (my old man doesn't) but they are able to recognise us as full human beings and have a natural aversion to the attacks against us, against bullying full stop.

the case was delayed until the 'victim' of the crime was available.
She was called as the first prosecution witness and told the court that I had never touched her rucksack.
I was rightly acquitted.
If found guilty in magistrate's (most likely), I would have been looking at a stint in prison.

Exclusive: Courts minister says change needed to stop criminals opting for juries to delay cases, sometimes by years, and clear huge backlog

UK politics live – latest updates
Criminals will be stopped from “gaming the system” by choosing trial by jury in order to increase the chances of proceedings collapsing, the courts minister has said, promising to enact radical changes to limit jury trials by the next election.
Drug dealers and career criminals were “laughing in the dock” knowing cases can take years to come to trial, Sarah Sackman told the Guardian, saying inaction would be a road to “chaos and ruin”. Continue reading...

nothing labour do make sense if you start with the assumption that their primary goal is to win power. they are doing it because they want to. because this is just who they are. they would rather reform win in a landslide than move an inch back to the left.
I think the time has come to ask ourselves what Labour strategists think “winning” actually would be because whatever it is they’re trying to do here, it pretty clearly has little to do with public opinion.

![Double page spread in the Times - From gender critical beliefs to boxing: what the guidance says
Geraldine Scott - Assistant Political Editor
A trans rights protest outside parliament in April after the Supreme Court ruled that the term sex in the Equality Act referred to biological sex
Next image ›
The equality watchdog has set out sweeping new guidance on how to apply equality protections for the first time in more than a decade, with a focus on how transgender people should be treated.
The 300-page document, seen by The Times but not yet published, was prompted by a Supreme Court judgment in April that ruled the terms “sex” and “woman” in the Equality Act referred to biological sex.
Here we outline the key elements.
Single-sex spaces
The most significant change is a departure from previous interpretations that transgender people should generally be treated in line with their gender identity in single-sex settings such as changing rooms or hospital wards.
Previously it was thought that excluding a transgender woman from a single-sex setting could amount to discrimination.
The new guidance states clearly that trans people may be excluded from single-sex spaces that do not correspond to their biological sex when it is a “proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim”, such as protecting privacy, dignity or safety.
Reflecting the Supreme Court ruling, the guidance said that for the purposes of the Equality Act “a person’s sex remains their biological sex, whether they have a GRC [gender recognition certificate] or not”. The guidance adds: “A trans man with a GRC is a woman and a trans woman with a GRC is a man, for the purposes of the act.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyefpiziml7b24sxpd74axq7/bafkreib2buaq3w6z2bphwtq3lvtmf2keurfz5hdbfqdedh7ushy5xdgdru@jpeg)

The Guardian are reporting a significant increase in Jewish people voting for the Green Party.
It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence.
We don't oppose the Genocide in spite of being Jewish but because of it.
Never again for everyone.

Black trans women are paid dust by cis people and trans people. 21 is too young for a trans girl to die. It's not fucking fair. But per the course, Girlalala will be lost in a sea of stories of trans women of color who aren't as loved or as protected as we should be.
May she rest in peace.

The leader of the greens thinks he can persuade Putin to give up weapons. The leader of reform thinks he can cut public spending without cutting services. Labour risks falling into same trap in its immigration and asylum policies. To actually change the world we need less bravado and more scrutiny.
