I dag vill jag och hela den svenska regeringen gratulera Kung Carl XVI Gustaf på 80-årsdagen.
Sverige och omvärlden har gått igenom en hel del under de första 80 åren av Kungens liv. Genom allt har Kungen blivit en självklar samlingspunkt för hela vårt land. En konstant – i ständig utveckling.
Kungen påminner oss ofta om varifrån vi kommer, för att dra lärdom inför vart vi är på väg. Alltid med blicken mot framtiden. Alltid ”för Sverige i tiden”.

FUN FACT ~ You write fiction books.
I developed the world first policy for trans inmates 25 years and it’s still world’s best practice.
You don’t have a clue what you are talking about. I managed every female prison in NSW and trans women were the least threat to the safety of the prison.
I have managed 5 Prisons and they are actually 1000 times easier to manage risk than it is in the greater community. Every prison has protection, strict protection, & one out segregation units, they have cameras, walls, bars, duress alarms.
C_s women inmates rape other female inmates with bottles and hairbrushes and fists and fingers.
One female inmate in Australia, fatally stabbed her fellow female cellmate 33 times. She needed leg irons, handcuffs, a spit hood &a posse of guards to move her.
Female inmates are three and a half times more likely to sexually assault another female inmate than male inmates are in male prisons.
Narratives such as @jk_rowling around issues such as trans people in prisons, takes a valid issue – the safety of inmates while incarcerated against abuse & sexual assault & target transindividuals (almost always trans women) & the ‘radical trans lobby’ as the perpetrators & enablers of this violence. In reality, prison administrators are responsible for the safety of prisoners, and trans activists do not have the level of ‘disproportionate power’ and ‘little accountability’ that @jk_rowling ascribes to them.
It is true that a significant issue in the prison space is the presence of violent offenders who may assault other inmates. Narratives which cast (sis) female prisoners only as potential victims & male prisoners (incorrectly including trans women) as potential perpetrators simplify the dynamics of interpersonal violence to the detriment of all: this narrative ignores (or even tacitly condones) interpersonal violence within male prison spaces, where trans women are disproportionately at risk; it overlooks sexual violence
in women’s prisons between sis-women prisoners; & it fails to hold the prison system accountable for building systems & environments which prioritise the safety of prisoners.
Instead, trans women who have committed violent sexual offences are positioned by @jk_rowling as not only a threat based on their own actions, but as an innate threat from their entire group, and used as justification to deny all trans people the validity of their genders.
to deny all trans people the validity of their genders.

“You cannot resist me. I am inevitable. Turn the Cotswolds into a solar farm and concrete over Kent and turn it into a council estate. High speed rail between every northern city.”
Incredible. I am going to take a breath and marvel at the fact that Magic: The Gathering players have just raised $75,000 for Trans Lifeline in a little over 8 hours.

The UK Is Now a “Country of Concern” for Trans People. That Should Alarm Everyone.
Something extraordinary has happened, and it has barely been absorbed by the public.
The United Kingdom has been formally criticised by the Council of Europe for an “appalling rise in transphobia and toxic anti-trans discourse” and placed alongside countries such as Poland, Hungary, Turkey and Russia as a country of concern for LGBTQIA+ people. This is not the assessment of activists on social media. It is the conclusion of Europe’s leading human rights body.
The Council of Europe’s resolution, debated and adopted in January, did not emerge from nowhere. It followed years of escalating hostile rhetoric in UK politics, media and public life, particularly aimed at trans people. British delegates attempted to dilute the findings during the debate and failed. The rebuke stood.
Adam Long of the National LGBT Federation described the situation plainly. The rise in anti-trans discourse in the UK is no longer marginal. It is visible, sustained and harmful. The Council’s decision reflects a recognition that this rhetoric is producing real-world consequences.
Ireland’s Transgender Equality Network chair, Sara Phillips, was equally clear. The narratives being pushed do not merely debate policy. They deny the existence of trans people, undermine their rights and dehumanise them. These campaigns do not stop at trans communities. They bleed into attacks on wider LGBTQIA+ equality, reproductive rights and the rights of women and children.
This is how human rights erosion works. It never announces itself as oppression. It frames itself as “common sense”, “concern” or “balance”. But the outcomes are measurable. Increased hate speech. Increased harassment. Increased violence. Increased fear.
That is why the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention issued a red-flag alert for the UK in relation to anti-trans and anti-intersex rights. A red flag is not an accusation of genocide. It is an early warning system. It identifies patterns that historically precede mass rights violations: scapegoating, dehumanisation, moral panic, institutional hostility and the narrowing of legal protections.
The Lemkin Institute’s analysis highlights how trans people in the UK are increasingly framed as threats rather than citizens. Language matters. When pronouns are stripped in reporting, when identity is treated as ideology, when existence is debated rather than protected, the groundwork for exclusion is laid.
What makes this particularly disturbing is the comparison the Council of Europe itself draws. Poland’s so-called “LGBT-free zones”. Hungary’s ban on LGBTQ+ representation to minors. Turkey’s systematic rollbacks of queer rights. These are not fringe regimes. They are cautionary examples of how quickly a democracy can slide when minorities are treated as disposable.
The UK now appears in that conversation.
This is not about silencing disagreement. It is about recognising when disagreement turns into organised hostility backed by institutions. Human rights law exists precisely to protect minorities when they become politically inconvenient.
The Council of Europe was explicit. States have a duty to counter misleading narratives, increase public understanding and actively promote equality. Neutrality in the face of dehumanisation is not neutrality. It is complicity.
What happens next matters. Countries can change course. They can correct. They can choose dignity over panic. But pretending this condemnation does not exist will not make it go away.
When international human rights bodies raise alarms, history shows it is wise to listen early rather than explain later.
Shame on @UKLabour@Keir_Starmer@wesstreeting
