Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide.

When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble.

Their demands are reasonable, their treatment is disgraceful. The government's intransigence is killing the #PalestineAction hunger strikers. Just as its complicity has assisted the genocide in Gaza. It needs to wake up right now to the moral consequences.

David Walliams' reputation was an open secret, junior staff were told to meet him in pairs & never visit his home, yet HarperCollins only dropped him when a Telegraph investigation came out. The problem is not just him. HarperCollins knowingly promoted & funded a guy sexually harassing junior staff.

This is a bit of technical legalese, but the basic point is that if the UK forcibly outs trans people then it will probably be in breach of its trade agreements with the EU.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Apropos of nothing, is it just me that finds it weird that Hampstead Heath is managed by the City of London Corporation? And btw, Sex Matters shouldn’t be allowed to be called a “charity” coz there ain’t no charity in their hearts
Fun fact, Kenwood Ladies' Pond and its actual members voted to allow trans women to use that space

Sex Matters, who don't use that space, took issue with that. Nothing says feminism by telling women you know what they want more than they do
Sex Matters. Sanchez Manning. The Times.

The falsehood that trans people’s human rights are somehow in conflict with cis-women’s rights is central to transphobia. That transphobes repeat it so often shows how their case falls apart without dishonesty.

REALITY:

Transphobia is vacuous hatred supported by lies and the abuse of power.
First, she frames the issue as a conflict between transgender rights and women's rights. Where is the evidence for that broad framing of conflict? Where is the evidence that women as a group see there as being a clash? None is given and women remain supportive of trans rights.

You know full well that if a presenter of a BBC program claimed that they'd been forced out for their anti-trans opinions then Keir Starmer and several other ministers would have takes printed on front pages about it the next day.

But @robinince.bsky.social will not get that treatment.

My thread earlier focused on the discussion re. FWS - but I just want to draw this out really explicitly:

The press absolutely monstered Dr Beth Upton in the most appalling way – only for the Tribunal to find that Beth had done nothing wrong, but that Sandie Peggie had harassed her.
Also worth noting, the Tribunal found that Sandie Peggie had harassed Dr Beth Upton in a "hate incident".

Peggie tried to portray to the world that Dr Upton was hostile invader of the women's changeroom (Peggie and Maya failed badly). The court found Peggie’s and Maya’s evidence as totally unreliable.

Dr Upton was cleared of no wrongdoing. Her evidence was considered reliable.

Dr Beth Upton ❤️❤️❤️ I hope she knows how she is thought of by so many. So much admiration and so much empathy for what she has had to endure. A real life heroine of all our struggle. Thank you
I also want to express my love for Dr Beth Upton. That woman truly has more courage than any of us.

Someone print this off and pin it to Anas Sarwar's office door in parliament: the sight of a national party leader effectively falling in behind a campaign of personalised bullying of Dr Upton was so utterly grotesque that it should be one of the biggest stains on his reputation for life.
