“You never had the right to gender desertion, that was always meant to be a capital offence. You should be mad at those who misled you, that you’re allowed to be AWOL from patriarchy. It’s simply unnatural to disobey your ‘biology’ [which is why we have to enforce it]” - an EHRC staffer (parody)
Kishwer Falkner in The Times talking about the rights of "biological people". As compared to trans people, who are, of course, non-biological.

You have the choice to sacrifice trans people. Perhaps it will save you.

But you don't get to ask trans people to accept the role as sacrifice. You cannot expect understanding, acceptance, forgiveness, or respect.

You made your choice.

The truth is that there are many good people in good institutions regretfully making the choice to sacrifice trans people because they fear for their own survival and their institution's survival...

...and it is incumbent on us to show them that their choice is not without consequence.

Nothing says “we support trans women” like “we aren’t willing to remotely risk a lawsuit, and don’t want to hear any criticism about it.”

Trans men who were ruled as biological females and are awaiting policies than bar them from both mens and women’s spaces are permitted to join the Women’s Institute as long as they look like a woman, accept they are female and submit themselves to degradation and humiliation.

Contact us if you have been affected by the policy changes of Girl Guiding or the Women's Institute. This could be as an individual, or because you lead a local Brownie group who don't want this policy change. We want to help protect trans inclusion.

I am so fucking tired of being told "We're sorry we have to strip you of dignity and exclude your kind ): Really it's so hard on us ):"

Hey @mothinali.bsky.social

You’ve said the same people who hate Muslims with big beards hate trans folk. You’re right on that.

Assholes are suing respected national organisations & forcing them to bend to transphobia & upset little kids.

Please speak out, when they come for one they come for all.

Hey @zackpolanski.bsky.social are you gonna say anything about the Girlguides and Women’s Institute excluding trans girls and trans women within a day of eachother?

I know & love how forcefully you can speak against injustice.

Please do once again, GG and WI have done wrong, and you know that. 🏳️‍⚧️

Hey @rachelmillward.bsky.social are you gonna say anything about the Girlguides and Women’s Institute excluding trans girls and trans women within a day of eachother?

You said you were a trans ally when Greens voted for you.

Please live up to that, GG and WI have done wrong, and you know that. 🏳️‍⚧️

Your Party spokesperson, for the official take: "This weekend was a festival of democracy, breaking with the Westminster mould of top-down politics. That's what we'll be offering to voters across the country: a genuinely new kind of politics."

They say they are a "radically democratic movement."

So many people who imagine themselves to be Marxists have a deeply liberal and idealist understanding of transphobia. It's not a debate, it's a power struggle and if you aren't willing to clearly take trans people's side, you are a scab.
Nah, bullshit tbh. You don't deal with the presence of transphobes by debating them. That the guy arguing no felt comfortable doing so and wasn't immediately heckled into silence speaks to a fundamental fucking rot.

We went outside the national police summit and this is what happened...

When we tried to ask delegates to talk on camera, no one wanted to.

Why? Because constant monitoring doesn’t feel safe. It feels intrusive 🤷‍♂️

Age discrimination in the workplace is sadly far too common.

Young people don’t get a discount on their bills. So why are they paid less?

It's time to end this injustice and ensure that everybody has a wage they can live off, regardless of their age.

It’s almost as if the obvious intention…was infact the obvious intention!

Who could have possibly guessed this? 🤔
2/ The instructions are just… fascinating? Well, every piece of public record I’ve uncovered on this subject so far has been fascinating, but this paragraph is exceptional.

It contradicts the Supreme Court directly, comprehensively, and unequivocally.

Imagine, if you can, a parent whose love was not up to the task of saving their child from the environment Wes Streeting has created for young trans people. Imagine the effect on that bereaved parent of a coroner who saw that tragedy as a stage on which to perform their own prejudice.
The tendency of Coroners to ignore guidance from the Chief Coroner, the reality of trans existence, and the wishes of bereaved parents, and express their own views in the death certificate, is both contemptible and unlawful.

We have a legal team ready to go; we will challenge it in the High Court.
