So, it looks like the new DfE guidance on trans students in schools incorporates recommendations from the Cass report. Suffice to say that is an *incredibly awful* decision.
Here's a thread with my analysis of Cass on social transition from back in 2024.

๐ She Just Wanted to Wear the Uniform โ How a Six-Year-Old Trans Girl Was Left Behind
An impact story of a 6 year old trans girl.
Reading how the UK Girl Guides has treated a 6 year old child is beyond heartbreaking. This story should be published everywhere except we know the mainstream news would never dare.

The effective conclusion of the ET is that trans people have to use third spaces. I think based on very poor legal analysis and uncritical adoption of "gender critical" talking points. But as I say, not binding, and all the relevant issues hopefully to be decided shortly by the High Court.

"This must be the year Britain finally kills off trans ideology"
Was the headline of a recent Telegraph Op-Ed.
In my opinion this is incitement to violence against a minority. Changing trans people to "trans ideology" does not make it any less so.

Online Surveillance Will Harm Trans Kids
Britain's online safety act was made to 'keep children safe', but for trans kids, losing access to online community could be the difference between a happy child and tragedy. Unfortunately, the mother of murdered trans teenager Brianna Ghey, is one of its biggest champions. Let's talk about it.

It's #DisabilityPrideMonth. @fractalecho.bsky.social considered dissecting the arbitrary color assignments of the Disability Pride Flag and what they 'represent', because social media defaults to this, but it wasn't compelling. So we unraveled the flag instead. buttondown.com/TYFYFL/archi...

Proper insane. Firstly this won't stop trans women because lots of us have a correct birth cert. But also who the fuck knows where their birth cert is? Or wants to hand it over to use the toilet or changing room? Absolutely ridiculous. And for what?! To stop me swimming?

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza.
Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians.
Stop arming genocide, now.

#Eurovision is tonight, and here's a hilarious fun fact about it: Israel has started a massive offensive against civilian populations in Gaza with the explicit aim of conquering the entire territory and ethnically cleansing its population, and Eurovision has aggressively refused to give a shit.

I 100% would have used ChatGPT for homework when I was in school, because homework sucked ass. However, if I hadn't been forced to bullshit a lot of essays 15 minutes before class I wouldn't have learned that I enjoy writing. The moral is to destroy both ChatGPT and homework.
