Meanwhile, the things you can do include:

•⁠ ⁠buy it... for yourself, family friends
•⁠ ⁠buy it for people who should read it. Including politicians, journos, libraries, gp's, etc. Better still, get institutions to pay for it.
•⁠ ⁠publicise it

Since 2020 the publishing industry has been churning out titles promoting gender critical views. @uncanny_eli discusses this underexplored trend and what it means for the book industry's friendly, apolitical veneer.

HORRIFIED to see this

The REAL challenge we are facing here in the UK.

Cass Reviewers & NHS staff involved in the care of Trans adolescents at the openly gender critical conference SEGM - yet not one of them attended the WPATH symposium

Huge and historic victory for transgender rights in Europe--the European Union's top court has ruled that gender changes issued by one member country must be respected in every EU country. The Court ruled “Gender, like a first name, is a fundamental element of personal identity.”

[Trans Safety Network @trans_safety]

Gender critical organisations Sex Matters and For Women Scotland have launched a witch hunt to identify and map the identities of trans women participating in women’s sport around the United Kingdom.

If a Gender Critical published writer calling homophobic, misogynist, right wing Republican Vance ‘humble’ and ‘endearing’ doesn’t underscore all we have been saying about the virulent gender and sexual conservatism at the heart of the GC movement, then you are truly captured

[Sally Hines @sally_hines]

This is key. The ‘belief’ that gender criticality is based upon is from the offset-in its initial conceptualisation-perjoritive. It is not a belief ‘in’ something/someone but a stance against. It is a belief in negativity and denial.

The Labour Government’s attacks on trans people have reached a new low. With this new guidance (inaccurately dubbed ‘new legislation’), pharmacists are threatened with a criminal offence for distributing GnRH’s to under 18s for gender affirming care.
