I’m really quite surprised at the BBC website today. ‘Here is a video, some people say it does not show what it very obviously shows’ is not how you report this.

No-one disabled is voting Labour, no-one trans is voting labour, no minority is voting labour unless they have a punishment kink so severe that they should actually seek help... as seriously this amount is not healthy to want.
Labour wants me dead, the feeling is mutual.

There are people in the world who say that there are only two genders: male and female.
But the heart and soul have much more personality.
It's very sad that people who can't accept this sometimes utter very harsh words.
You were born to live freely.

Parliament’s Joint Committee on Human Rights published a report on the Draft Gender Recognition Bill in Nov 2003. In Paragraph 31 they expressed concern courts might fail to recognise the effect of a GRC particularly for e.g. the Sex Discrimination Act. 🧵

Starmer has said that what has been allowed to happen at X is "outrageous" and that those responsible should face the "full force of the law," calling their tactics "pathetic" no wait sorry, I got confused, that was him describing Just Stop Oil protesters who put some cornflour on Stonehenge.
Ofcom, which enforces the UK's Online Safety Act, says it is aware of "serious concerns" about Grok undressing people including children on X
“We have made urgent contact with X and xAI to understand what steps they have taken to comply with their legal duties to protect users in the UK," it says

UK Politics is an ongoing cruel joke designed such that when I'm 80 years old and someone asks who the best Prime Minister of my life time is I will have to unironically say "Gordon Brown, I fuckin' guess" as they just keep finding new shades of amoral spineless shitweasels to fill the role.

Trans people on waiting lists - real talk, how do you cope?
I've been waiting for 18 months and it's going to be god knows how many years before I get seen. I'm trying to scrape together enough money to go private but that's beyond my means, and I just can't face knowing I'm never gonna get support

You'd have thought a review that just blew up the entire narrative that's been spun by the leading ideology on gender in Westminster would be a pretty big story.
Plenty of politicians seeing their insistence on tearing down all trans healthcare to ask how the review destroys their case.
But no.

If we’re going to keep the same system we need to immediately find quadruple or more the capacity over night to even keep up, never mind start making headway into the backlog that has built up over the last decade.
That’s not going to happen, and wasn’t called for. So. Fuck all is gonna change

The long-awaited Levy Review is out.
This is tinkering around the edges of a failing system.
Until trans people can access our healthcare based on informed consent, from the same doctors in the same communities as everyone else, issues will remain unsolved.

Oh good, they're going to bog down the GDCs with even more appointments that aren't seeing people on the waiting list, because GPs are incapable of interpreting a blood test and increasing/decreasing/maintaining a dose according an incredibly simple guide.
