There is no separating the art from the artist. If you buy Harry Potter shit, you are funding transphobic campaigning. It’s that simple.
JK Rowling has emerged from the shadows as a funder of the anti-feminist biology is destiny movement.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect": Frank Wilhoit.
The conservative in-group which others transness enjoys wealth, the media and patriarchal norms.

The wisest lawyer I know said of the Supreme Court judge who wrote (at least most of) the judgment that they did it to please their dinner party friends. Quite sickening, really.

We don't think the interim guidance published by the EHRC and pushed by Bridget Phillipson is lawful.
So today we've started legal proceedings against them.

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments.
It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap.
It was wrong to slash disability benefits.
Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.

this is really good advice in general, i have a lot of "what if my adhd had been treated instead of punished" but all you can do is move forward
8. be wary of the "what if?" thought traps. "what if i started HRT earlier?" "what if i was born cis?" "what if i had supportive parents?"
again a normal part of the journey, just dont get stuck there. those thought traps will LITERALLY NEVER end in you feeling good. NEVER.

![the "stop doing math" meme except it says "STOP DRIVING CARS". the meme reads:
* PEOPLE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ISOLATED IN CAGES
* YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for building ONE MORE LANE
* Wanted to travel large distances anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "TRAINS"
* "Yes please give me NO GREENERY. Please give me INFINITE PAVEMENT" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged
LOOK at what Civil Engineers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the concrete and asphalt we built for them

The Gist: Trans rights are Data rights
A UK court has made a decision defining genders which has put it at odds with a less noticed, more important, decision from the CJEU. This is the Gist.

you can see the top-down authoritarian nature of the anti-trans movement very clearly in graham linehan, in how every time there's a report or legal case that says he's right he does a victory lap expecting it to actually change how people think. like he's looking forward to apologies
