Azeen Ghorayshi at the NYT has moved on from going after trans people and is now pushing the leasing question that autism diagnoses are too common because of its expansion of it to a spectrum.

It seems like every day that Morgan McSweeney wakes up with a new idea about how to detoxify Reform's hideous worldview and Keir Starmer duly executes it for him.
Those who have claimed asylum from violence or trafficking or state persecution or war should not be spoken of as lottery winners.
Shame on Keir Starmer.

Lucy Powell has warned that Labour should not wave through a devastating trans bathroom ban 👇
Ripping up trans rights would be a disaster for Labour, for business, for women, and for the wider LGBT+ community.
It's wrong. Labour needs to stop aping Trump and Farage, and protect our human rights.

Hi LGBT+ Labour, thanks for the email about all your fabulous conference events, but my copy seems to be missing the meeting about tackling the overwhelming wave of transphobia that has engulfed Labour policy in the last two years and has left trans people across the UK living in fear. Typo?

At this point I think I may be one of an incredibly small number of people to have read the second Sullivan report in detail. It is uniformly poor scholarship, containing flagrant fabrications and misrepresentations, calling into question Alice Sullivan's ability to conduct basic academic research

BREAKING: Man arrested over Liverpool collision is 53 year-old from Liverpool.
Police statement:
We would ask people not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding tonight’s incident on Water Street in Liverpool. We can confirm the man arrested is a 53-year-old white British man from Liverpool.

And if they are autistic? “You thought you were trans but it’s actually autism”? Do they assume that autistic people can’t think or make decisions about their own bodies? Or are autistic kids thought to be super easy to influence (?!?!) and so need to be rescued from the evils of gender ideology?

meanwhile kids who need autism assessments so they can get accommodations are on long waiting lists, right?
when you're assessing in order to exclude, dismiss and infantalize suddenly it's easy
when you're assessing to provide accommodations suddenly it's impossible and you're understaffed

Bridget Phillipson was an undergrad when the GRA passed. That's OK. I'm only slightly older.
What it points towards, something I've said in council meetings before: if the GRA has been in force for decades, but you've only noticed it in the last couple of years, maybe trans people aren't the issue?

Bridget Phillipson says trans women should use male toilets, then claims to support “respect for all.” She ignored thousands marching for trans rights to talk about chalk on statues. This is Labour’s stance? Shameful. We’ll be calling it out on The Gayly Digest.
