This paragraph tells you all you need to know about UK press coverage of transgender people. They just flat-out lie. "A large proportion of these surgeries are carried out on people under 18. The youngest person getting this surgery was 18."

people are going to attack anyone who Looks Foreign. this is whipping up insane hatred over a system that is incredibly cruel, unfair and rejects people who've spent decades working to help the UK. and he fucking knows that because he's an ex human rights lawyer - it's just fascism
Keir Starmer says immigration system is “almost designed to permit abuse” and that it risks “pulling the country apart”.
PM says UK needs tougher rules to reduce immigration significantly or it risks becoming “an island of strangers”.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.
That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.
Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

Absolutely insane. Uneblieveable. "Sex Matters", one of the hate groups responsible for removing trans people's rights via the Supreme Court are arguing that trans people shouldn't be allowed to transition because they don't have rights and not having rights is bad. Fucking hell
I'm not kidding. That's the fucking argument. "Kids will be harmed by the policy we rammed through once they grow up, so do conversion therapy on them."

Trans women are routinely denied healthcare, safe housing and dignity.
This isn’t an accident. It is hate, fuelled by those in power.
Trans rights are human rights — and I will always stand with the trans community.

There isn't a story on the BBC News site about today's trans rights rally at Parliament Square where it's estimated 20k attended. But they did have a story last week about the Let Women Speak transphobe rally in Bristol where 100 people attended.

It's one of a plethora of threats at play, but I wonder if the cis women supporting this realise that their rights are next... Abortion is already on a legal knife edge, then it's access to contraception, then then then... There is nothing good about this!
Famously, a good rule of politics is that if the Daily Mail are happy, that's definitely a sign there's been a great victory for justice and equality!

Seeing the Tory-lite Labour cabinet drop the “lite” altogether has been deeply depressing yet unsurprising.
A small part of me hoped it would be easier for the more reasonable Labour MPs to reach them, but guess not 🤷🏻♀️
Trans people, disabled people, low income folk, know I’m ready & pissed off.

This is absolute bullshit, both on a safeguarding and scientific basis. Shamefully poor.
The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex, and does not include people with a Gender Recognition Certificate.

jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.
yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.
no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.
