What Streeting did to trans people, he'd do to every other marginalised, disenfranchised & down on their luck group in Britain.
I keep going back to Judith Butler: ‘If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’.

Hi Charlotte. How would the two killers who killed Brianna in cold blood outside of school have been prevented from doing this by phone pouches please?

So, given that a lot of trans people are offended that Brianna's transfemicide is being turned into a crusade against phone use, when Brianna had a supportive online community and was murdered offline by her classmates:
Do you think "Touch grass" is an appropriate response to that context?

"im supporting her mum"
I wanna address this one real quick because this is what we call "scapegoating".
Do you honestly expect us to believe that after her daughter was murdered in a way that had nothing to do with phone use, Esther Ghey came begging for you to ban phones during school time?

You're genuinely deranged if you think I believe either of Brianna's killers deserve less than the life sentences they were both handed, or that I think Brianna was in any way at fault for her own murder.
I'm supporting her mum, who is a constituent, which is... my job.
Go and touch grass.

I mentioned previously how Brianna was taught in school primarily in isolation and idk if non brits know what that means.
Tldr it's a room, generally with stalls in it so you can't see other kids and a teacher watching you. it's generally where kids are sent for bad behaviour.

i think the most sick thing about govt going all in on Esther's phone shit after her daughter was murdered in a crime which had not nothing to do with phones
... is that I spoke to Brianna's friends. On Tiktok. They were everything to her - you want to take that away from other kids like Brianna?

Do you not think it's bizarre to have strangers on the internet decide they know better than Brianna's own loved ones on what is or isn't insulting to her memory?
I've got no time for Rosie Duffield, but she turned up at a drop-in event in Parliament and that's been the limit of her involvement.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Beyond fed up with how MPs have leapt on the chance to turn a transphobic murder into something to do with children's access to mobile phones, completely washing their hands of the transphobic radicalisation of adults that has driven this hate.
It's our version of school shootings and video games.
