Not a cat on stilts wearing a trench coat. Definitely not a cat. Much less, a ringtail (aka the Miner's Cat). No, sir-ee!

Jolyon suggests that if the EHRC loses it should apologise to trans people. I won’t be accepting an apology from a transphobic organisation that’s been forced into saying sorry. If they lose 🤞, then they need to be disbanded and replaced with a proper NHRI that can rebuild trust with our community.
The EHRC removed the "interim guidance" that has been devastating the lives of trans people for months from it's website.
We wonder why...👀

Seems many UK trans people are losing their NHS prescriptions - including when requested by the official NHS GICs!

🚨 Hundreds, possibly thousands, of GPs are refusing Trans+ adults their healthcare
We always said the Trans+ Healthcare scandal would get worse
"Given the complexity and unique medical considerations involved in hormone therapy [we're no longer authorising your prescription]" - GP

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Amen to that.
Admittedly the Greens under Zack Polanski have seen an uptake in popularity. Under a platform of economic justice and not treating minorities (including trans people) like garbage.
Jeremy Corbyn's party has promise. Though there's too little known about their agenda in key areas.

Pretty amazed that zack polanski straight up, genuinely defended trans women to piers morgan on his tv show. Can't recall the last time I saw a politician do more than just a soundbite and walk away from it.

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.

Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on 90-minute visit
Robert Jenrick complained about visiting an area of Birmingham where he “didn’t see another white face” and said it was not the kind of country he wanted to live in.
After highlighting the lack of white people, the shadow justice secretary said it was not about “the colour of your skin or your faith” and he wanted people to live alongside each other. Continue reading...

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

i think bluesky needs to decide what they're making. if they're making a protocol, like some of their developers say, they should shut down the social media app that's causing them so many problems. if they're making a social media app, they have to engage with it like adults.
