Britain has completely lost the plot over men and women who are trans.
This is @UKLabour ‘s vetting form for those wanting to attend their conference in Liverpool in September.
“What is your ‘biological sex’ so police can check you out?”
“Did you have a penis as a baby? If so you can’t attend women’s events even if you have changed sex. The fact the Gender Recognition Act says you are fully recognised in law as female / woman FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES will be ignored.” @bphillipsonMP@PompeySteph
These aren't protests. They're racist riots. And it's time for the government to take them seriously.
The PM should be convening COBRA and setting out a real plan to end this horrific violence and bring communities together.
Now is a time for real leadership.
Something to remember during #Pride month.
No matter how determined Rowling or Reform UK or our government or the rightwing press or the TERF commentariat: never in the history of civilisation have nefarious forces been able to erase LGBT+ folks.
We’re here to stay. Forever.
@BadWritingTakes@MartinJDowns@michaelpforan A rule of thumb I use to check if someone’s actually been cancelled is if I’m reading an article on the topic “I have been cancelled” by that person in the national press.
Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government.
Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.
sorry to put a hateful caricature on your TL but there's something almost profound in a Baudrillardian sense about seeing someone describe an actual photograph as a deluded fiction and a drawing as true reality
The anti-trans movement are never going to be satisfied.
They’ve succeeded in turning the UK into a hostile environment for trans people.
That’s not enough, because nothing will ever be enough.
Here they’re seeking to public humiliate - and turn into a target - an employee doing his job.
The complaint?
That there are self-enclosed changing rooms.
She claims that this forces women and girls to change in front of men, which is an insane lie.
Eventually this insanity will fall apart, because it is insanity.
But a cult has been given impunity by our media and political elites, and it will continue to spiral out of control like this.
the Reimer case quite literally validates the identity of trans folks in that forcing a gender identity onto someone who does not align with said gender identity has detrimental effects on mental health but transphobes use this case as a gotcha because they are braindead
