Its not the fucking phones!

And how do those children typically access the media they've been radicalised by? 🤔
Measures like this are not intended *instead of* measures to keep trans kids and adults safer, but they're not at odds with those objectives either.

Labour is shitting their own beds and they should be remembered and hated by the LGBTQIA+ community for the same reasons Thatcher is hated. #labour #transgender #section28

Today, in a very short section of a two hour seminar on queer poetry, I’ll invite my students to make a #blackoutpoem using the text of #Section28 I have the sharpies at the ready. This is my favourite part of teaching this Queer Lit course.

How about demanding that the new Section28 against Trans Kids your party introduced is withdrawn?
Taking phones from already isolated kids is just cruel.
She wasn't murdered by her phone,she was murdered by a society that thanks in part to your party see's Trans people as disposable predators

🚨 A reminder
Behind Labour's talk of “protecting children” lies a campaign to silence, harm and ultimately erase Trans+ youth:
• A new #Section28 banning discussion of Trans+ lives in schools
• Forced detransition and puberty
• Bans and restrictions cutting off access to online trans communities

Wake up babe, the new Section28 for trans people has just dropped.
Schools should also not use materials that "encourage pupils to question their gender."
This Labour government is really just going all-in on the transphobia then.

"Schools should be mindful that beyond the facts & the law about biological sex & gender reassignment there is significant debate, & they should be careful not to endorse any particular view or teach it as fact. [Eg] they should not teach as fact that all people have a gender identity"
Fuck Labour.
Fuck Labour.

This guidance mandates that children are taught that they have different legal rights based on their biological sex.
So much for kicking misogyny out of classrooms.

Eleven European countries - quite rightly - allow for Trans+ people to self-determine their actual gender
Keir Starmer's Britian isn't one of them
He and his anti-trans cabinet would prefer that Trans+ folk be completely excluded from meaningfully participating in society
