Nicola Sturgeon suggesting that being transgender is a choice and that it should only be 'allowed' as a 'right' that can be taken away is such a bad take.

None of those newspapers (or the BBC) that gleefully ran stories when the EHRC gave trans people a shoeing will now report on the EHRC admitting they (and hence those stories) were wrong. Are those outlets craven - or dishonest?

Thank goodness for the legal press. www.law360.com/articles/235...

🆕🚨 Following the EHRC's advice to segregate Trans+ people from public life could in some cases, constitute a criminal offence, a court filing sets out.

Our methodological critique of The Cass Review has been peer-reviewed published & is therefore way more authoritative than Cass which is un-peer-reviewed.

Streeting/Starmer can no longer claim Cass is “gold standard” or “landmark”.

Cass is just junk science.

Start asking people what a fundamental component of being a man or a woman is; something that without it you cannot be a man or a woman, and they will flounder. All answers except for 'how someone identifies' will exclude some cis people.

For *years* trans people have been telling everyone who this Labour party really is. We were told to shut up and vote for them anyway to 'get the Tories out'.

Well, we didn't vote for them and you got the Tories out anyway. Well done.

Now what?
If you want an example of how far to the right the world has moved on trans and LGBTQ rights… Theresa May is being attacked for being “too pro trans”… BY LABOUR!!!

Finding houses to buy is so maddening. If it's not a lack of deposit making it hard to raise money for houses in your local area, it's this weird trend of everything being a 'Modern Auction' with extra fees out the wazoo. It's incredibly depressing.

I mean…gaslighting extraordinaire. How you do you fight this level of mass propaganda? They have a transphobic Health Minister fully on their side, they’ve banned transitioning, introduced conversion therapy, and will now be calling trans women ‘men’. It’s trans people who are terrified of the NHS.

If the United States continues to withdraw from the rules-based World Order, Europe won't be able to replace the US in enforcing it. Closer Europe-China ties are likely as a result.

Most money spent on trans healthcare is spent on gatekeeping and not on the actual treatment.
you should absolutely be appalled!

not that trans people exist and deserve autonomy

But that the NHS is wasting YOUR MONEY in being an obstacle to that for absolutely no discernable benefit to anyone at all.

How long until Trump declares the old Constitution null and void and releases a New Constitution in its place, giving the President ultimate power?
February 22, 2025 at 11:48 AM
Donald Trump just seems to have no concept of the consequences of actions. He criticises Zelenskyy for the state of Ukraine after three years, without understanding the consequences on the Ukrainian people, and wider Europe, of surrendering to Russia. No foresight or insight, just reactions.

I think this might be the most BS-laden post Trump has ever published, which by his gutter low standards, is extraordinary. And frankly very scary.
If you’d asked AI to write a piece of Russian propaganda in the style of Donald Trump, this is what you’d get. Well done America, you’ve elected a Russian asset as your President.

It is very difficult to find out what the third most highly represented party in the HoC thinks as their views are never allowed on mainstream media. If the Lib Dems received the same air time and priority as Reform then they might be heading towards the position of official opposition.

The UK has official, and Government supported, anti-trans groups in both the police and the civil service.

They're called SEEN - yes, the connotations of the name are not lost.

This is Government sanctioned and supported. These groups are virulently transphobic.
