Who's Funding the War on Trans Inclusion? A 40-fold surge in cases and the litigation infrastructure behind it

Who's Funding the War on Trans Inclusion?

“The stated goal of strategic litigation is rarely to win every case. It’s to make the target behaviour—in this case, implementing trans-inclusive policies—expensive, risky, and exhausting”

Oh so feminism isn't allowed to change society now? Is that the only way you can justify rewriting feminist theory for your purposes Jo? SM are clearly sending their strongest soldiers to the front.

The little coven

I really struggle to understand what these anti-trans people have ever done for women in Scotland. The fight that matters to me is the one that ensures women aren't immolated or strangled by men in their lives. ✍️ @heraldscotland

NION Women Rejects Anti-Trans Narrative at Kenwood Ladies Pond Image of women swimming in the wild

🏊‍♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.

In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.

Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

I just saw the teaser trailer for that new Michael Jackson biopic and it pisses me off so much that it's his NEPHEW playing him when there are THOUSANDS of real talented Hollywood peadophiles available.

Had to share this from twitter just because

God I'd love it if the NHS followed literature from 10 years ago let along up-to-date. Plus it's looking like our long covid response will be "it doesn't really exist".

NHS threatens GP practice over trans care A GP practice in Brighton and Hove is currently under investigation for legally providing gender affirming care to trans teens

"Laura fears all will be lost if ICB Sussex forces her child off the medication.

If ICB Sussex get their own way in a matter of weeks and they force detransition, Olive may well take her life."

I think it is discriminatory surely? Like what would even be their reasoning to exclude? It's not cost so it's either ignorance or transphobia (or both).

News in that children are now being prescribed weight loss jabs on the NHS.

Where are the trials for the use of these experimental drugs in children? How do you know it’s safe?

Nice! Love the use of colour.

Brown pencil drawing of a cloaked and hooded figure with the head of a tyrannosaur, facing left, standing amid billowing smoke. The blade of a scythe emerges from the cloak's folds. At the bottom of the image is a scroll with the words, 'Thanatotheristes: Le faucheur de la mort'.

Thanatotheristes is a late Cretaceous tyrannosaur whose name means 'Reaper of death.' I couldn't help this image of it in Grim Reaper guise popping into my head.

It's a hard realisation to make but once you realise how much value you have and that you should love yourself in the same way you want to be loved, I think things only get better from there.

I managed to catch her playing most of this album in the Royal Albert Hall while she was touring it and it was very much a time.

the Python Software Foundation is foregoing a large NSF grant that would have been contingent on their agreeing to terminate their diversity and inclusion initiatives and given the feds the ability to cripple them financially for refusing to comply

Something about the weight of the big ears on this bunny hat I'm wearing feels calming and satisfying and I wonder if I've stumbled across something like the Achewood groin weight.

when you masturbate you’re participating in an unbroken chain stretching back hundreds of thousands of years to the very first humans who stood in awe under the vast mystery of an unpolluted sky and retreated to their caves and hollows to yank pud to horny cave paintings. every stroke a holy mystery

Beautiful.
