"This is a moment that requires bravery in standing up for right. Organisations that value trans people should know not just that the law is on their side – but so, also, are many people who will step up to defend them if they have the courage to take a stand." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
The WI and Girlguiding have been pressured to exclude trans women – yet the law is clear as mud | Jess O’Thomson
Since the supreme court decision, organisations have faced lobbying and legal threats. But trans people are protected by discrimination law too, says Jess O’Thomson of the Good Law Project

I haven't finished reading the judgement myself yet but 2 things I've noticed:
1) as always, the parts "won" by the "gender critical" claimant were about processes followed unfairly, not an endorsement of GC views
2) the judge's comments suggest the EHRC interim guidance incorrectly interprets FWS

Top line: It says exactly what we have been saying for months. The decision of the Supreme Court was not to turn the Equality Act 2010 into a nationwide bathroom ban - regardless of how anti-trans organisations have sought to misrepresent the law.

There's almost certainly trans women that have been in the WI longer than JKR has been alive and she has the audacity to "protect women" by preventing 80 year old women from making fucking jam with her friends

This article is awful, but the 78 year old trans woman broke my heart. She knew as a teen she was trans. She was subjected to such cruelty, lived though so many law changes, the GRA, the Equality Act and now the awful regression we're seeing on trans acceptance :(

I was reminded of this today and it didn't get enough appreciation at the time for something that has permanently changed both "see it say it sorted" and the act of seeing a horse for me ever since
See it (a horse)
Say it ("horse!")

Hey, if you're a queer and/or trans person and you want some petty revenge at the gathering of shitty right-wing family members: love yourself.
If you love yourself, you can cause them WAY more discomfort than they cause you. Use your power for evil. Be the supervillain who ruined Thanksgiving >:3

At least it's honest, right? Intrusive questioning of women who don't conform to norms about how they should look, and women then being banned if they tell their inquisitor to mind his own sodding business, has always been the logical end point for the patriarchal project that is TERFdom.

"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.

I've never been to a gig with such a massive police presence or protest/counter protest outside it before.
On this side of the road, a sea of Palestine flags. On the other, a smattering of Israel Flags & the St George flag. That side are playing Bob Marley? Weird.

A thorough and intellectually robust exploration of the epistemology and sociology underlying the Trans Panic in Britain. Every ally of trans rights should read this and try to internalize it. Doing so will make your arguments against transphobes far more convincing.
“The courts are not the paramount legal framers in the UK, that would be the UK Parliament. All Parliament needs do is pass legislation stating that trans people are who they affirm themselves to be, and not a social problem requiring exorcism from society.”

If you’re canceling and want to preserve your playlists/songs, you can use SongShift. It will help transfer to platforms like Apple Music, Tidal, Pandora, Soundcloud, Deezer, Audiomack, Discogs, Hype Machine, Napster, Qobuz, and YouTube.
Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.
