Cisgender trans inclusive feminist. I have no money. Please don't ask.
"Yes, it would be wrong to tell a child, just because they’re GNC, that they need to transition. But nobody is doing that. It’s just a lie."
Dear Philosophers, You Can Trust the Feminist Consensus: Gender-Critical Radical Feminism is Bogus
Dear philosophers, Every few weeks now it seems like the philosophy blogosphere has a big argument about trans rights. You are, perhaps, unsure what to think. You think of yourself, maybe, as a fem…

And we're meant to have faith in this system that lets the super rich order kids like takeaways and cant even bring itself to arrest a single one of them, all the while as we're told migrants or trans people are why we can't afford to live in peace.

…extreme right-wing money & mainstream/oligarch media support was lavished on organised transphobia in the form of well- but opaquely-funded “women’s concerns”/faux-“feminist” transphobic hate groups to campaign to strip trans people of our human rights.

More than almost anyone else Sodha’s faux-reasonable anti-trans diatribes in the Guardian - claiming *concern* about women’s rights - contributed to undermining the Equality Act.

Following the pattern; some of the kids involved will not be able to cope and need to drop out of school.
A parent - most likely mother - will need to leave the workforce to home school them.
The child is less likely to earn qualifications, reducing employment opportunities.

There's no justification for this other than absolutely hating children,the disabled and neurodivergent specifically.
The Labour government is going to absolutely gut SEND provision, especially when it comes to neurodivergent kids. From The Times exposé last night

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

one reset I'd personally appreciate: behind the insistence that we must offer the electorate a little bigotry is the idea that commoners are more bigoted than the richer and more educated, who can be appealed to with high minded policy. but then you Ctrl+F "phrenology" in the Epstein files
What strikes me is that 'the volk' have incredibly incoherent and everywhere ideas, but the people who claim to speak for them in the press are like clerics who think there are two poles for all politics and everything must fit between them. These poles are like, eight inches apart
