Can't remember if I've posted this, but one of the first times I visited the town in which I now live this was tied with a ribbon to the bridge from the train station.
I still find comfort in reading it occasionally. A beautiful sentiment from a stranger who'll never know how much it meant to me.

every time I see a headline framing this as being primarily an issue of the student having controversial opinions, and not the student being an asshole with a right wing podcaster mom who wanted to ruin a trans person’s career for the clicks, I age another ten years

This was entirely about purging a trans instructor from the school and they succeeded. It was aided by a lot of dumb liberals taking it at face value arguing the minutia of grading rubrics while ignoring the obvious bad faith efforts behind this.

Also screw the BBC for its naked agenda. It refused to carry a hugely expensive first ever YouGov survey we commissioned showing how awful trans lives in the UK have become because it was "not strong enough" but there's no piece of anti-trans hatred too petty for it to platform.
Total gaslighting. Anti-trans activist; chooses to speak in person, provoking students who want to protect trans rights; they exercise their freedom of speech to tell her she isn't wanted; she gets to speak anyway; the BBC dutifully platforms her again; and now she threatens to sue everyone.

The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.
Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

How do we solve these mega waiting lists for the gender clinics???
Just dont do the gender clinics and just have GPs prescribe hormones and refer for surgeries
Gender clinics exist to soothe scared cis people not to help trans people transition

The reality is that most of the healthcare needs of trans people are entirely straightforward and routine and there is no medical reason why they cannot be met by their GPs like everyone else's are.

A number of the recommendations are sensible improvements to the current provision of services – but many of them would be rendered unnecessary by adopting an informed consent approach.

Mary-Ann Stephenson assumes - either from ignorance or malice - that trans people have no legal rights as trans. That is deeply troubling from someone holding her role - although hardly surprising given her history.
Awful - and hopelessly out of her depth (just as two Select Committees concluded).

And this all came about because GCs wanted approx. 4,500 trans women with GRCs to not be allowed on women only lists.
Now they’ve burned the whole gendered space structure, that was working well, down to the ground. And many more cis women will now be harassed, because they might look a bit transy.

'Biological' male or female used for trans+ people is misgendering and not neutral, it's a slur. It doesn't matter if a judge said it.
Media folk using it are doing a similar thing to interviewing racists and not just repeating their slurs in quotes but adopting them themselves.
