Seen on Mastodon
The history of Nazis holding rallies in left-wing areas of Weimar Germany, instigating street fights, and then telling the press that only they could save Germany from the "violent communists" seems like an important thing for people to be studying right now.

The full hunters moon, with a halo behind clouds. The outer clouds are tinged with the orange London glow. The end result looks a bit like an eye with a glowing white pupil.

Government taking closed-door meetings with hate groups, refusing to disclose the minutes, and covering up youth suicide data. Very normal behaviour for a liberal democracy.

tacc.org.uk/2025/10/03/i...
An FOI (FOI-1632059) disclosure has laid bare how the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has been quietly opening its doors to anti-rights groups, giving them access, influence, and legitimacy in shaping the future of trans healthcare. The correspondence shows Sex Matters, LGB Alliance and Transgender Trend manoeuvring their way into government as so-called "stakeholders" on trans policy, despite lacking any medical expertise and spreading narratives that misrepresent science, misuse human rights law, and dismiss the lived realities of trans people. It's not just emails or letters. The documents show meetings arranged, consultations granted, suicide statistics disputed, and legal rulings twisted into tools to attack trans healthcare. While trans people themselves were left out of the room, ministers were treating hostile lobby groups as if they spoke for the public.

This is SO subtweeting the Cass Review. While article well worth a read on "weak" or "low quality" evidence in medicine

www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
"It is profoundly misguided to cast health care based on low-certainty evidence as bad care or as care driven by ideology, and low-certainty evidence as bad science. Many of the interventions we offer are based on low certainty evidence, and enlightened individuals often legitimately and wisely choose such interventions."

I have learned nothing from this apart from that people on Bsky can be really mean! I do not possess a dictionary.

If it's a Pixel, you can change this behaviour. I changed it the first time I pressed the power button, because it irritated the hell out of me. Anti-ergonomics.

Reminder that Starmer was happy to be "nice" to trans people at one point. Forgive me if I'm sceptical of vague platitudes from politicians when it costs them nothing.

Tweet by Kemi Badenoch: The third reason was having gender- critical men and women in the UK government, holding the positions that mattered most in Equalities and Health. You only need to look at what the SNP did in Scotland to see what would have happened had we not intervened. The Cass Review would **never** have been commissioned under a Labour govt. Labour did not want to know. We had incredible opposition from the system on everything. It was when the ministers changed that everything changed.
