The EHRC FOI release reveals a disturbing pattern: trans people — especially trans women — are repeatedly framed as inherently dangerous, deceptive, or a safeguarding risk. The EHRC didn’t challenge this once.

Horrible and also no surprise. The problem is that members of these anti-trans hate groups don't actually believe that being trans is a real thing - because most of them have never knowingly got to know a trans person. So they honestly believe that trans women are men pretending to be women 1/

Our government is happy to manufacture evidence to deny trans care to young people simply because they are transphobic.
The real evidence is that gender affirming care saves lives, harms no-one and has an astronomical rate of satisfaction and success.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

This is just a way to prevent teens from transitioning while pretending to offer a solution.
The “Pathways” trial is, IMO on more than one level, a thoroughly unethical piece of “research” to be carrying out on children, especially children who are part of a marginalised minority.

"Reform would be worse" is both entirely correct and entirely irrelevant until polling day 2029. What matters right now is that Labour's approach is morally repugnant on its own terms, *and is empowering Reform*. As things stand today, its not Labour or Reform. Its Labour *then* Reform.
While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/

Well this makes such absolute sense I can't believe I hadn't worked it out for myself... Thank you for the emotional labour of explaining it.
when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >
Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.

Excellent thread. Just so tired if this gaslighting transphobic bullshit.
So the Telegraph’s “BBC bias dossier” - supposedly written by ex-BBC adviser Michael Prescott - is being used to claim there’s a rogue LGBT+ unit “censoring” gender-critical voices inside the BBC.
Let’s look at what’s actually in it. Spoiler: it’s nothing but recycled transphobic talking points!

There’s a deeper trick here. He calls respectful coverage of trans lives “bias,” then demands “balance” by platforming anti-trans voices (ignoring that BBC policy won’t allow trans voices without GC ones too!)
That’s the same old “I’ve been silenced because I can’t be transphobic on air” routine.
