So what if MAGA lonely hearts never find love? There's a reason those "swiping left on Trump supporters" stories won't go out of style.

‘Lamenting the loneliness of people who take pride in alienating others requires recasting antisocial behavior as political bravery.’

Young people want to ‘go private’ – I’m a lifelong supporter of the NHS, but I can see why | Frances Ryan This shift marks an existential crisis for the NHS: if younger generations don’t use it, they won’t want to pay for it, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

‘It is disingenuous – and a distraction – to suggest that the shift to private provision is about a craving for choice or even quicker care, as if millennials are Carrie Bradshaw shopping around for high-end healthcare.‘

Elsewhere in the interview, Dr Maynard claimed Israeli soldiers are shooting civilians at aid points "almost like a game of target practice".

The IDF said it "categorically rejected" claims of "intentional harm to civilians, particularly in the manner described".

Dr Maynard claimed he has operated on boys as young as 11 who had been "shot at food distribution points" run by the US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

"They had gone to get food for their starving families and they were shot," he said.

"I operated on one 12-year-old boy who died on the operating table because his injuries were so severe."

A British surgeon returned from Gaza says Israeli soldiers were shooting at aid-seekers “almost like a game of target practice".

He also said formula doctors had packed to bring with them was the only item confiscated by Israeli authorities before entry.

Formula.

Lots of very high profile UK biologists sign a letter saying that biological sex isn't binary or immutable and that the Supreme Court's ruling is scientifically wrong!

We really need to hammer home how the anti-trans side is anti-science

As Keir Starmer does a “trans women are men” media tour today, I hope people think about that time he invoked the memory of Brianna Ghey in Parliament as part of a gotcha for Rishi Sunak. Abusing her memory for PR whilst plotting to remove the rights she would’ve had to live as herself. He’s sick.

Patriarchal Hammers Some thoughts on the recent judgement by the Supreme Court

‘This restriction on the meaning of sex to a narrow idea of biology is used to justify the exclusion of trans women from women’s spaces. That is in essence the point of the restriction and also the goal of the appellant.’

Trans women should use male toilets, equalities minister says Bridget Phillipson’s comments come after a long-awaited Supreme Court ruling last week that trans women are not legally women under the 2010 Equality Act

The idea that trans women should use men’s toilets, and trans men should use women’s toilets, is completely absurd and unworkable.

Research has shown that half of trans people fear using toilets as it is.

All of this will simply help drive trans people out of society.

Graphic with a purple background. It reads: "We are really shocked by today's Supreme Court decision- which reverses twenty years of understanding on how the law recognises trans men and women with Gender Recognition Certificates. The judgement seems to have totally missed what matters to trans people- - that we are able to live our lives, and be recognised, in line with who we truly are. We will continue working for a world in which trans people can get on with our lives with privacy, dignity and safety. That is something that we all deserve.". The Scottish Trans and Equality Network logos are in the bottom right.

Along with @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social, we've published our reaction to the judgement in the UK Supreme Court today.

There will be more we want to say to trans people directly once we have a chance to catch our breath.
