Mini thread on the ET decision in Peggie
Top line: It says exactly what we have been saying for months. The decision of the Supreme Court was not to turn the Equality Act 2010 into a nationwide bathroom ban - regardless of how anti-trans organisations have sought to misrepresent the law.

Two ways to read this. One is “she lost on every substantive claim, completely failed in her attempts to ban trans staff from the workplace, and won mild procedural victories against her employers handling of her case”.
The other way is, I guess, “point one is longer so it must be more important”

if you genuinely want to argue that the Equality Act, when introduced, intended to make unlawful an approach to trans inclusion that has existed *since the 1970s*, I absolutely cannot take you seriously

Telling a targeted, hyperscrutinized, vilified population that you have no choice but to comply with mulching us is not a praiseworthy stance!!!!

If these organisations fear closing down in the face of a hate-driven financial attack, play chicken. Announce proceedings to close down if their commitment to trans inclusivity is threatened by a stretched interpretation of the judgment. I suspect more people would rally around to support them.

Cis women need to step up and ensure that any women’s groups they attend are inclusive, if they aren’t boycott them.
I refuse to access any women’s space that doesn’t include trans women. We are all women when you discriminate against one of us you make us more vulnerable as a group. We stand as 1.

It's worth noting that the Government has a massive majority and could fix this in an instant with a one-line piece of legislation. It doesn't want to.

if they fucking beat us to doing “sausage roll s*****e”….
I also investigated this today! They had 5 Christmas Number Ones in a row, and now, 3 weeks out from Christmas, have roughly 1/4 the monthly Spotify listeners of Babylon Zoo
Just read an article about Ladbaby threatening a comeback that mentioned their "fans" "eagerly awaiting" another single. So I thought, how many people are actually listening to Ladbaby in 2025? Well, their most listened to track has clocked 23 plays this week on Last fm: www.last.fm/music/LadBaby

This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

Here's a thread from Twitter shared with Sophia's permission in which she finally is able to talk about Graham using the police as HIS personal goon squad and getting Sophia arrested at home by EIGHT armed police officers, somewhat putting the standard Heathrow armed cops in perspective.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
You know what? If I was not part of the hive mind, I think she would try to rescue me, as we would have a great time drinking vodka and watching Golden Girls.

The UK courts are being used to further harassment of transphobes victims and the judiciary either is too stupid to understand that or doesn't care.

a rational response to this would be to introduce proportional representation. we have FPTP because it promises the stability of a two and a half party system. that system is gone and now FPTP provides unpredictable chaos.
