The Home Secretary explaining that the rise in racist violence is, actually, the natural response to higher levels of immigration is a state of affairs that can't exist without the government having largely decided that racist violence is, if not legitimate, at least understandable.

There are plenty of links between the anti-trans “women’s rights” movement & anti-feminist conservatism. And opposing abortion is a logical conclusion for a movement that says no, you should not have agency over your own body; no, you do not know best about yourself; no, you have no choice.
No way I’m sharing Stock’s UnHerd article. But I am going to point to this bit which amply demonstrates the anti-trans=>anti-women’s rights pipeline. “Abortions should only be done for a highly restricted set of reasons. They should not be just nodded through for any reason a pregnant woman likes.”

I hadn't quite appreciated that every senior researcher involved in the NHS puberty blocker trial has direct ties to SEGM, a designated hate group. We have an anti-Trans, USA hard right backed group pulling the strings behind the UK NHS puberty blocker trial. It is rotten to its core. Zero Trust.
The puberty blocker trial is about to start according to the BBC, led by Dr Emily Simonoff. The same Dr who spoke at a symposium organised by Segm, a group designated an anti trans hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Centre /1

Bullshit alert: some NZ politicians (dishonestly) claiming that the puberty blocker ban is about "saving" kids from "unnecessary" medical interventions and "letting them make up their own minds"
No, that's *what puberty blockers* do. It gives those kids time to work out their own identity.

Sonia's "suddenly trans people are concerned about gnc cis women" line is so funny, it's not like anyone's been pointing it out since at least the NC bathroom bill way back in 2016. But, that would require actually listening to what we say and that is a complete anathema to gender critters
This is the harm the misogynistic EHRC is causing to ALL women. Their code of practice is deeply disparaging of ALL women.

I’m told by younger Dublin friends, that if one of their number says something reactionary, they are immediately called ‘Enoch’. He’s Ireland’s most infamous anti-trans activist. His behaviour has associated the anti-trans stance with being ‘utterly intransigent’ & irrational.

Brain's skittering about a bit. But watching Wayward reminded me that a lot of quack treatments only exist because real medical treatment is often brutal and / or poorly administered.

One of my favourite book series is about an asteroid hurtling toward Earth.
There's literally nothing to be done about it. It *will* land and it will wipe out most of humanity. People's responses throughout the trilogy are fascinating.

imho theres things to worry about and things that are so far above our pay scale they're not worth worrying about. There's buggerall anyone(or anything) in the history of our planet could do to stop it if it happens so theres no real point worrying about it till it happens.
not at all worrisome that at any moment a huge piece of space rock could enter our atmosphere and take out a city and there's not really anything we can do about it

And without the prescription of hormone therapy at the same

I would add that I don’t think it’s too late to prescribe a GnRHa to a child who doesn’t present with gender incongruence until puberty’s already well under way…it has a role…I saw Alice’s mood deteriorate as her masculinisation progressed in her late teens…it’s just the study is designed to fail.

By which time the prescription of puberty blockers will be too late, irreversible changes of puberty will have occurred, dysphoria will persist and the treatment will be deemed ineffective.
Hardly surprising when the doctor in charge has ties to SEGM.
This is not a clinical trial. It’s cruelty.
