Over two decades ago, a Labour government repealed “Section 28” which aimed to prevent positive discussions about homosexuality and gay lives in schools. Now a Labour government pursues transphobia and erases trans and non-binary lives. Today’s political transphobia is basically recycled homophobia.
Twenty-two years ago today Section 28 was repealed.
But we're seeing history repeat itself as some in the media and in politics spread bigotry and misinformation about trans people.

This is absolutely going to result in misogynistic male staff blocking whichever women they feel like from using the toilet because they find it funny, just hope everyone realises that.

MAGA is currently trying to distract from Trump/Epstein by fabricating that the Trump shooter was trans. They cite that his DeviantArt profile allegedly had "they/them" pronouns despite the fact that legacy users w/o a gender selected automatically had "they/them" assigned to their profiles.
![A screenshot of a tweet by Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson). The tweet text reads: "It has now been confirmed that attempted Trump assassin Thomas Crooks used they/them pronouns, had a deep interest in furries, and was exploring gender identity. Add it to the list: - Charlie Kirk’s assassin Tyler Robinson had a furry obsession and lived with transgender [Show more]" Attached image: Below the text is a split image. On the left is a text block that reads: "Like alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson, Crooks appears to have been interested in 'furries' and exploring gender identity. He described himself with the pronouns 'they/them' on the platform DeviantArt... Two accounts linked to Crooks' primary email were found on DeviantArt, under usernames 'epicmicrowave' and 'theepicmicrowave.'" On the right is a yearbook-style photo of Thomas Crooks wearing glasses and a grey t-shirt.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sefgphqp2xqwh2hawaixykwz/bafkreibqi3cw5qlsbzw5k33bonjcxedmax7it52ffgdzqhwazsf4b2d7q4@jpeg)

The government of Canada needs to directly address why a 95 year old human rights expert and former UN Special Rapporteur was treated as a threat to national security for coming to speak about Israeli genocide.

Chicago's Far South Side devolved into chaos when residents confronted Border Patrol agents who rammed a car to make an arrest.
The feds ultimately used tear gas to flee, despite a Chicago police leader offering to clear a path and warning that cops didn't have gas masks.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”
He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

At the South Portland ICE facility, after pushing back the crowd to let some vehicles leave, agents gassed the street for approximately 10 minutes solid. S Bancroft was opaque with gas; agents also threw flash grenades and shot pepper bullets.

As Dijana Hrka came in front of the Parliament to start with her hunger strike, police pushed her out with shields.
People started to protest that move from the regime and now the plateau is filling with people on one side and regime's criminals on the other, near the white tents.
