We're at the 'we're very sorry we hired a trans person' stage in the UK's systematic erasure of trans people.

People cannot be treated differently based on what could happen. If we were able to exclude anti-trans+ individuals for the reasons you gave, we wouldn’t be where we are now. Reality is they are very strategic in how they work to embed themselves in all areas

Doesn’t work that way I’m afraid. Believe me, we have tried to warn, even about the formation of a known anti-trans+ staff network. We have had high level conversations about it.

This is what trans people in the UK were faced with yesterday in the Guardian alone.

at the bottom, you'll notice "About 3,164 results for Transgender"

Breaking news: First Past the Post to be scrapped for mayoral elections. Now time for Westminster!

WE DID IT!!!

The government has just announced that it´s scrapping FPTP for mayoral elections.

In May, this absurd system resulted in some Mayors being elected on as little as 25% of the vote.

This is a victory of communities around the country. But it's just the beginning...

Melanie Newman - misrepresented in the UK media as a ‘poor ickle’ “trainee detective” against a ‘big bad’ “trans activist” is entirely misleading…

She has a long history of transphobic ‘gender critical’ journalist-activism… including collaborating with Julie Bindel YEARS before joining the Met!…

“Gwent Police covers 600 square miles of rural Wales, and counted 134 recorded incidents of rape and assault in public toilets over five years. Women are being violated in toilets, but not by trans women.”

Portaloos are fully enclosed spaces and gender neutral. @downloadfest.bsky.social have actively chosen to target the trans+ community by following flawed interim guidance from an organisation led by a known anti-trans+ individual.

Transphobia has no place in the alt/metal community.
