In September of 2022 the state of rhetoric and discrimination against trans people in the UK and US was so bad that the Lemkin institute for Genocide Prevention issued a statement warning that we were seeing a move toward the genocide of trans people.

In the uk giving your child a haircut they want not approved by the government is considered child abuse. Also calling them what they want to be called, you need a license for that
in the uk you need government permission to get a haircut

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

Not to brag or anything, but Voice Club has genuinely had nothing but good reviews. If you were considering it, try it! You can just buy single sessions to try one out rather than get the discounted rate on a bulk booking, and it's still *very* affordable.
Online english language trans voice coaching sessions available. Simple sign-up. Affordable session tickets. Subsidised by the community and allies via @essehouse.bsky.social

Labour's dignity and respect means it is lawful to get harassed at work then get targeted by news papers and politicians to harass you, then get abused further in court with the judges explicit permission.

It should be a textbook example of systemic failures and bigotry, but not in the UK.
Starmer's Britain is one in which an NHS Doctor is dragged through the courts and shamed in the press for no crime she has committed and is ultimately forced into self-exile due to harassment Labour on all levels of politics enthusiastically supported

Yvette Cooper is the answer to the question "what do you get when you cross a Neo nazi with a wasp nest sucking blood hound?"

And she's the acceptable to put on tv face of Labour in Feb 2026.

Can this myth please die already? Take it from a therapist who works with tons of trans youth (and has many colleagues who also do so), kids aren't ending up in our office because they're mistaking normal gender-nonconformity for being trans.
She has the gall to praise the new school guidance banning social transition and requiring a doctor's oversight to get a haircut and change names but then complains that there's too much pressure to conform to gender stereotypes.

And once you understand why misogynists would say only men need be heard on women's rights you also understand why the BBC has decided only cis people need be heard on trans rights: their inherent inferiority means they are not worth listening to.

And the thing is?

We know that this is generational. That there is a cliff-edge in anti-trans hostility across generations that means that when the current over-45s age-out of power so does the vast majority of anti-trans hatred.

This is the death throes of that hate. Their last gasp.

Wow, with Sandy Peggie and the lads, I just realised the best grift ever

If you are:
- Employed in a public facing job
- Are being openly racist

Then:
- Drop in a bit of transphobia, and the entire media will rush to defend you, the Christian Concern will fund you, and Labour MPs will love you 1/1

the greens are basically a centre-left party

@lucympowell.bsky.social and keir starmer describing them as *extreme* left says more about how far the labour party has strayed from their core values than it says about the greens

it really doesn't say anything about the greens

Imagine being a judge thinking people discussing your genitals in the workplace is just acceptable office gossip
5/ Office gossip

The judge also dismissed fears that forcing Trans+ people into third spaces could out them - which was argued as an act of privacy violation. The judge defends his dismisal of this fear on the basis that:

"A propensity for gossip is a feature of every workplace."

@mrjamesob.bsky.social When you say that homophobes are closeted gay people, you are blaming gay people for homophobia. The vast majority of homophobes are straight people.

We hate it too, Kier.

Perhaps if you spent the next 50 years fucking off as far as it's possible to fuck off you might not find yourself pushed off the edge of wherever you've fucked off to by a gang of one of the many minorities whose lives you have fucked.

Today there was a back bench session in parliament on LGBT history month.

Not a single Green, Lib Dem nor SNP MP bothered to attend.

Not one.

The Labour benches were near empty, and none from cabinet.

The few that bothered were almost all strong allies - and almost all were women.

Great news about Palestine Action today.

Question though...

Has Starmer gotten round to changing the guidance about protest laws that was ruled unlawful last year yet?
