Side note to political parties. STOP OFFERING REFERENDUMS! The general election is a referendum, you put your policies out there and if the public think it’s important enough they will vote for it.

Lowe's latest policy is a referendum on the death penalty, followed by the retrospective introduction of capital punishment for past murders.

What is the point in a consultation when you’ve already made the decision and making the changes before the consultation ends?
BREAKING: Keir Starmer says he will 'move really fast' after a consultation into a social media ban for under-16s ends in the summer
The government has announced it will create new powers to make changes to the law around technology, meaning a ban could come in as soon as this year

Regardless of where you stand on trans rights, this is the correct statement.
Hiding behind and divesting authority to the Supreme Court, especially when you are the leader of the UK, is moral cowardice and an easy excuse to wash your hands of difficult battles.

It’s the Government’s duty to protect all communities - including trans people.
They’re failing to do that.
Trans people deserve safety and dignity.

*Fun* fact. The guy that developed ABA for autistics, Ivar Lovaas also coauthored the medical paper that established Conversion Therapy.
Hilary Cass is a specialist in ASD yet we’ve yet to see any review into the efficacy and ethical aspects of ASD interventions.

Similar does exist in some other areas like efforts to train autistic children to mask, and historically efforts to train left handedness out of left handed kids.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.
