Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.
There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

I think @entirelyharmless.bsky.social summed up Sex Matters pretty well with this:
"UK media: every time you quote Sex Matters on anything related to trans people, it’s the equivalent of quoting the Flat Earth Society on anything related to space or air travel.
They’re unqualified cranks."

This is in addition to some awful physical tests, an abusive assessment and approval process, awful coercion, terrible and abusive power dynamics, it is just so bad.

Danger - Conversion Therapist at work
Every line of this is wrong.
No-one ‘identifies as trans’. They might identify as as male or female and that might differ from their birth sex. More rarely, they may identify with a more complex identity - non-binary, gender-fluid etc.
