Trans Liberation Now
Could there be anything to learn here for the Labour party? No, surely not, they're doing fine, nothing to see here. Their continued descent into fascism and electoral suicide will surely pay off any day now.
The Danish party that inspired Labour’s hardline immigration policy is on course to lose Copenhagen for the first time in more than a hundred years.

Among the reasons cited: fatigue and frustration with its hardline immigration policy.

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

Just as the union was about to get recognised, Rockstar fired almost every employee involved in it without explanation. I'm sure we have a phrase for this kind of behaviour. And this wasn't in the US, land of poor employment rights, this was the UK.

"As someone working in law, it’s heresy to say this, and it might even kill my chances of a career... But as a trans person, and someone fighting for the rights of my community, I refuse to remain silent. To me it just seems obvious: a heavily prejudiced society produces prejudiced institutions."
It’s no surprise that only 31% of trans people trust a legal system built to enforce prejudice, says Jess O’Thomson.

To paraphrase a German saying: if 9 good people and one transphobe sit down at a table, and no one says anything to challenge them, there are 10 transphobes at that table.

Except he wasn't just hosting a dinner party, he was in charge and actively responsible for the hate speech on his watch.
Tim Davie, according to sources actually in the meetings, is not pro trans. He isn't anti trans, no. But he doesnt understand or want to advance trans issues in any meaningful way & the rise of transphobia in the BBC can be attributed more to a lack of action rather than any direct decision making.

NHS Sussex are forcibly detransitioning trans people. These patients need full restoration of their healthcare, and everyone involved in doing this needs to be sacked.
"Laura fears all will be lost if ICB Sussex forces her child off the medication.

If ICB Sussex get their own way in a matter of weeks and they force detransition, Olive may well take her life."

“What do you mean, the proposed rules would create a third sex, something we explicitly agreed not to do under human rights laws? What do you mean, implementing these rules would cost businesses huge amounts of money and open them up to legal action? Shit. Uh... Lengthy impact assessment, anyone?”
Here's the question.

The EHRC has briefed that the draft statutory guidance is basically the same as the Interim Guidance. So why, if the draft statutory guidance gets the law right, did the EHRC choose to take down the Interim Guidance in the face of our Judicial Review?

💥WIN: Victory in landmark case on gender recognition

Am so proud to have worked on this case, and to work for an org which fights for - and successfully defends - trans rights.

"A huge victory for trans people’s human rights in this country, at a moment where things have felt particularly dark."

This is the most perfect example I've ever seen of the extremely common tendency for British people to fantasize that whatever they're doing to minorities is reliably much more decent than whatever America is doing to those same minorities.
Quite incredible conjunction of news stories under the transgender tag at The G, The Trump administration, far right pressure groups, The "Equalities" Commission and the a Labour government, all essentially working on the same side

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

- bulldoze every gender clinic
- hold inquiries into the abuses that went on there
- apologies + damages to patients denied care
- bosh ✊

Glasgow Gender Clinic now has a waiting time of 224 years. The average across the UK is now 25 years.

This segregated system isn’t working and is wasting millions. The NHS has been told time and again - informed consent now.

🚨 UPDATE 🚨

The news is in, and it’s good

🚫 GWD, the anti-trans lobby group led by four disgraced expelled members, has been denied a platform at Autumn Conference

They tried to strong-arm the party with legal threats in order to spread their transphobic agenda

But the party stood firm

1.
🚨 UPDATE 🚨

This week, Green Party Specialist Interest Groups will be told whether Party leadership plans to allow GWD to run a stall at Autumn Conference

To be clear: GWD is a transphobic lobbying outfit, fronted by expelled ex-members with a history of breaching party values and code of conduct
🚨 UPDATE

My understanding is that GPEW now has legal advice and leadership are holding high-level discussions about how to handle the GWD stall at Autumn Conference

As I mentioned before, members should be prepared for the likely presence of an anti-trans lobby group led by expelled former members
