What the show proves most of all is how successfully the marriage industrial complex has come for, and won over, the gays.

Funny how when Rogue One was first announced, I wondered if something as diaphanously light as Star Wars could support a more grounded exploration of war and fascism, and now the franchise has found its true voice (and relevancy) again in exactly that.

Today the Supreme Court used the greatest hits of discredited anti-trans, pseudoscientific ideas in order to rule against the equal access of trans kids to healthcare.

This Historian Has Seen the Future of Trans Health Care
Jules Gill-Peterson doesn’t want to fight for trans joy. She wants to fight for what trans people really need: resources, hormones, and surgery. Her latest arena? The Supreme Court.

Excellent work from Natacha.

This section on new NHS gender services for children is really worrying.

“We (a healthcare service for trans children) may not be gender affirming”

This entire rhetoric of "Oh, maybe we're just being too confrontational towards the people who very openly want us to not exist" really isn't a winning strategy. Ask Victor Klemperer how well trying to be nice and quiet and complying works.

Irish Independent Interview with me out recently. Ireland is the first key bridgehead where the Biological Purity believers and GCIM are trying to roll out their Ideology to the EU. I wanted to warn Ireland about this British colonialist assault on their free and independent country.
“Dr McCloud was initially seen as an example of a diverse and forward-thinking judiciary. In recent years, however, a change in attitudes steadily took hold in the UK…It’s the result of an organised campaign which seems to have originated in the US”

This is EXACTLY why the US Christo-fascist right-wing poured so much money into funding ‘gender critical’ transphobic litigation in the UK - to legitimate transphobia-tainted rulings and so they can then export the trans-hostile judgements to use back in US States! 😣

It’s Laundering transphobia! 😖

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:

“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.
