If we were men, there would be no bigotry to sprak off because misandry doesn't exist as societal oppression. It's basically saying trans oppression isn't real like racism in an unhanded way.

The first step is building public trust, which means actually listening to why people are upset. It's not inevitable if people hate it so much it can be Labour's poll tax moment.
New essay: REJECT TRANS DOOM-POSTING.
It's about grief, loss, institutional failures, and the horror of the current moment.
It's also a love letter to trans community, and the things we do with and for one another.
Even back in the 70s and 80s when I could be hassled by the police for walking while trans, no one ever tried to stop me pissing in the Ladies or tried to make me change into my swimsuit among men.
There is no dignity or respect involved in taking away rights I have exercised freely for forty years
TRANS PEOPLE OF COLOR EXIST. Black, Indigenous, Asian, and Brown trans people exist. Transness exists in EVERY race and ethnic group.
Get out more.
Every argument about Transphobia has mirrored to me much of the rhetoric around immigration and race back then. The hang wringing over the minimal protection of the inadequate Race Relations Act, which had to be pulled out of Labour like teeth. Like you think people would learn. But no.

Right now, YP is exposing that they're gonna let transphobia be the death of them, too. Maybe someone can make a book about it.

Canonizing someone who was evil counts as speaking ill of them.
Yeah, I had the fun of cultural confusion of being dark-skinned, but also so British people assume im not an immigrant. Im British in a legal and somewhat cultural sense, but i know how fickle that really is.

There wasn't one "family", let alone 1000. It was clear, at the time, that it was bullshit propaganda, and even clearer now. 1/

To me, the same mindset applies to support for the EA2010 or EHRC guidance extending from it. If this was 2018, then we could assume good faith, but in 2025, the EA2010 is broken after the SC ruling.
31.07.2025 01:38 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I personally kinda struggle with thinking about it this way, even when it is effectively support for the previous status quo. Leaving sports inclusion up to sports leagues has been the status quo and not instigating a blanket ban, but what has happened is the context around that status quo...
