"Anyway, I think it's important we don't get too distracted by all this stuff about trans and abortion and landlords, and that we focus on growing the party and winning elections. Because a lot of that stuff's a bit too online, a bit too academic, it doesn't really matter to your average worker."

"So, at the end of November, that's when we'll vote on what our name and our principles and our policies should be, like whether we should support trans, which I'm sure we will. Then, in January, we'll vote for a leader. Just one. It might not even be Jeremy though - it could be a woman."

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
![One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.
Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.
House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”
Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests?

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uvcqt45oqlutlrtgx7bpodq/bafkreie7yqxb4cj2t4gxftiqsno5wgk2kczb5vbtj7wh2b2u5sjtqtdrku@jpeg)

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

Considering this government's policies regarding assisted dying and PIP concurrently, it's quite clear that they want to replace the old meaning of "disabled" (someone with extra needs) with the even older meaning of "disabled" (someone we've already figured out how we're gonna kill).

I love how trans people are disabled when it's time to take our rights away but superhuman when it's time to take our medals away
Remember all that time I spent on Twitter banging on about how “gender critical” fascists keep talking about autism because they wanted the ability to deny autistic people, as well as trans people, bodily autonomy. Well, thanks to the widely discredited Cass Review, oh fuck, we’re heading there.

The BBC keep doing this. This isn't true. This is straightforwardly wrong in law. The ruling *only* applied to the Equality Act 2010. Trans women are still legally women for the vast majority of purposes! That's the whole point of the Gender Recognition Act.

One of my most churlish and uncharitable thoughts is irritation at how society lionises people running a long distance (most of whom already find running genetically pretty easy anyway) and marginalises people whose best is 'getting up that morning' but hey ho

crucially the most important thing to take away here is that *IT DOES NOT REVOKE YOUR EQUALITY ACT PROTECTIONS*.
The perception of you, a transgender woman, as a woman is still very much enough for you to be discriminated against and bring legal action. This is expressly stated in the ruling docs.

Worth noting that the reason headlines concerning the case are focusing on the definition of woman is not to exclude trans men, but because that is the context in which the case was brought (specifically whether trans women with a GRC could form part of a 50% women quota).
