And there it is. In exchange for supporting their transphobia, the Christian right are now holding anti trans howlers to their part of the deal. Go after abortion. Trans people told you. Real feminists told you.

DOJ lies.
DHS lies.
ICE lies.
That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies.
They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

A decade of trans advocacy has taught me people believe lies because they want to, not because they don't know they are lies. They believe trans people will regret our transition because they want us to regret our transition. They believe we are a "social contagion" because that is how they see us

The Prime Minister has come up with a very measured, diplomatic response and I think that if the President could remember who Starmer was, he would respect that.

Those social media smear campaigns against women, especially queer women, laid the path to people celebrating the murder of a queer woman by a man in a uniform who called her a “fucking bitch” afterward. They unlocked the entitlement and rage to cheer gender-based violence from the online sidelines.

Fascinating thread but I don't feel it's that complicated? This is what happens when you go out of your way to performatively kick your own coalition in the hope of impressing voters who never liked you to start with.
Glad the FT is asking the question. Even if I’m not convinced they found a compelling answer.
I get that Starmer & Reeves are unpopular, I really don’t understand the extent of the dislike.

No one has ever been able to adequately explain what Putin is meant to have thought NATO expansion would threaten him with, apart from limiting his expansionist ambitions.
"He was worried they'd invade Russia."
No he wasn't.
He just wasn't.
That's not a thing anyone thought might happen.

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

Funny that.
When the Cass report came out and there was an opportunity to destroy an entire area of trans healthcare it was wall-to-wall headlines and opinion pieces.
Now the Levy review says "current system just needs improved and lower waiting lists"... silence. Crickets.
Open editorial bias.

Whichever review gives the answer they want will be hailed as "gold standard science", the other will be ignored.
