It is irresponsible to let people collect evidence that will be used to identify and incarcerate dissidents.

Sooner or later you will realize that this is an actual conflict with the state.

A great form of solidarity for those on the front lines is to use umbrellas and banners to block the cameras of journalists and livestreamers.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The collective scream of every sex educator of the last 30 years who worked their asses off for pennies, just to make accurate helpful sex information available to everyone online and off, and then people are like “what do you expect, there’s no progressive sex advice for men”

A photograph of the front of Wes Streeting's office in Ilford. there is pink paint on the window, reading CHILD KILLER, although a car is parked in front of it, and white paper on one side barely hiding a puncture in the glass. Wes' name is also covered in pink paint on the email at the bottom of the red banner-style sign

A different angle of Streeting's office, showing the CHILD KILLER text more visibly. Three punctures with spider-fractures are visible across the front of the office windows.

JUSTICE FOR TRANS YOUTH On July 31st, a group of activists representing BASH BACK took action against Wes Streeting's office in Ilford, in response to his continued abuse of trans people in the medical system, and attempts to cover up the suicides of trans young people under his watch as Health Secretary. In the months since the puberty blockers ban, we have seen huge backpedals in the healthcare rights afforded to trans people - and young people especially - in an NHS system that was never kind to us in the first place. Under Streeting's rule, GPs have been banned from conducting blood tests on trans patients accessing HRT, and trans people have been banned from accessing hospital wards that fit their gender, leading necessarily to poorer quality of care across the board. Streeting, along with NHS England, the EHRC, and Hillary Cass, have paved the way for state-mandated conversion therapy, which has since led to the Department of Education's proposed introduction of a "Section 28" style bill, preventing discussion of transness in the classroom. It is clear now that Wes Streeting and the Labour government intend to erase trans people from public life, and will go out of their way to do so, no matter how many bodies lay in their path.

Our statement on the actions at Wes Streeting's office last night.

We refuse to sit and watch as trans young people have their healthcare stripped from them. We refuse to allow Streeting to cover up their suicides. We refuse to endure the violence and humiliation. They will have to go through us.

Oh no I finally went and read your break down of the essay. Absolutely a piece that didn't need to be written lol.

Lol

And yeah super untrue!!! So so many men talk about, write about, and even form whole non profits about it lol.

That take (the one you're referencing) is just so utterly wild

Scarleteen and a thousand zines/workshops on consent, intimacy, and relationships. Even on the lib side a lot of states have laws requiring sexual and relationship health curriculum in schools which is non fear or shame based and meant to follow best health practice guidelines.

What can we do Fundraising through the official givesendgo (link in bio) is one of the most direct ways to help their cause. You can also write letters of support (details @dfwsupportcommittee ). Beyond that, we must echo their bravery in standing against ICE and the police to begin with, and continue to do so ourselves. Any actions small or large, from banner drops to protests or more will help show support and solidarity. The path to freeing our friends is to abolish the police and their prisons, to organize and agitate, to build power and tear down the walls with our bare hands.

Where are they They are enduring unimaginable horrors while being held at the Johnson County Jail in Cleburne, Texas. They have been cut off from the outside world intentionally, and people who attempt to visit have even themselves been detained and interrogated. Most have been wrongly placed in solitary confinement and worse. Because bail is so unreasonably high, there is no way for us to bail them out. Funds are still desperately needed, however, to pay for legal fees and all other forms of support we can provide.

Who are they 6 people from the DFW area have been harshly imprisoned in response to a July 4th noise demonstration against an ICE Facility in Prairieland, Texas. They are a mix of working-class people, including mothers, fathers, longstanding community organizers, and friends. Their bail was set from 10 to 15 million dollars per person, and they are facing life-ending charges beyond reason.
