Read this thread. Please. As someone who has done research with queer kids on social media experiences I am BEGGING you to understand just how much Esther Ghey is pissing on her daughter's memory. For every young queer person harmed by social media there are HUNDREDS who call it their only lifeline.

imo, the reason women of color and especially trans women of color are stereotyped as angry is because we are constantly mistreated by white people, including those in our communities, and the response is either righteous anger or deep sadness that would eventually lead to suicide. I choose anger.

Yes, the article mentions the EHRC. But also points out the UK can just leave that. They're threatening to anyway.

But the UK ain't give up an EU GDPR certification. That's way too valuable.

Like most UK liberal campaigners, they have a blind spot with the EU. They forget that they are still bound by GDPR, which has gotten trans friendly.

Good article summarizing current state of UK legal/political situation for trans people going to the loo. (tl;dr: it's a mess).

Shoddy Wix website called "Peace and Mind UK" though there's a much larger heading of "Brianna Ghey legacy project" that appears to be an attempt to mislead you over the actual name of the charity. The following content is beneath an image of Brianna: "Peace & Mind UK was founded in memory of Brianna Ghey, by her mother Esther. In the last years of her life, Brianna suffered with her mental health which was exacerbated by harmful online content. Peace & Mind UK aims to help young people and their families to improve mental health through group well-being activities and online safety education. More Info" I ask the reader or listener: if you did not know Brianna's story, how would you think she died?

Brianna Ghey website. My daughter, Brianna Ghey, was murdered on the 11th of February 2023. She was lured to a park by two fifteen-year-olds and stabbed 28 times. The children who killed her had been consuming violent and extreme content online. One of them was watching torture videos and so-called "red room" material on the dark web. Part of their motive was to act out the disturbing things they had seen online. In the months before her death, Brianna was struggling deeply with her mental health. She was self-harming, battling anorexia, and becoming increasingly isolated from those who loved her. I worried about how much time she was spending on her phone and who she was speaking to online, but it wasn't until after she died that I discovered she had been accessing harmful content that encouraged self-harm and disordered eating. I still don't know the full extent of what she saw. Her phone had become an addiction. She was constantly scrolling, often late into the night, and trying to take it away led to constant conflict. I could see it was hurting her, but I didn't know how to help, and neither did the professionals we turned to. It is my mission to prevent young people and families from suffering the way we did. I carry Brianna in my heart every single day, she is the driving force behind everything I do. Esther, Brianna's Mum x *** Note Trans not mentioned ONCE. Note the focus on Brianna's "phone addiction" and the claim of her killers being driven to a murderous frenzy by "extremist content" with no political affiliation whatsoever. It is simply suggested that she was a participant in her own slaughter.

No I need you to realise how insidious this is.

The FRONT PAGE of this "charity" wix site could easily fool you into thinking Brianna killed herself.

Clicking "Read More" Reveals her cause of death, but completely ignores transphobia and instead spends 4/5 paragraphs discussing Brianna's phone!

Brianna Ghey's mum is worse than Captain Tom's granddaughter sorry.

Daughter is murdered by a gang of transphobic kids and the response is to start "mental elf 💔❤️‍🩹" grifting and lobbying for phone bans.

At least Captain Tom's fam were selfish little pricks. Ghey's are doing THIS.

“She was completely addicted to her phone, and it was such a distraction. When she was going into the classroom, she was looking at her phone under the table or she was going to the toilet to film TikTok videos.”

I wonder why the trans kid in a violently transphobic society needed online support.

Esther Ghey: "It was just that constant pressure of social media and wanting to get those likes. One of the hardest things was learning about what Brianna was accessing online that was encouraging her to self-harm and develop an eating disorder.”

Did 'the pressure of social media' stab Brianna Ghey

Two teenagers were radicalized by the transphobic political climate into seeing a 15 year old girl as less than human. They killed the girl, and then the girl's grieving mother chose to embark on a moral panic crusade against "self-harm", acquitting the actual perpetrators of her daughter's demise.

the problem isn't that I see transphobia everywhere

the problem is that you don't

the new komoot app's colour scheme looks like it's sick and ill...

Appropriate change I guess ..

With all due respect to Tom (seriously, not being sarcastic), I think he's wrong. Anyone who thinks this has not paid attention to how the successfully completely reversed the trajectory of trans equality in the UK in only 10 years.

They will probably manage the same with abortion.

Soldier F is Lance Corporal David James Cleary

And when you consider wider LGBQ people. Not all, but a decent percentage will vote based on trans rights as a proxy for "does this politician/party really support LGBQ rights?"

Tell me again that it's all in the past and there's no real anti-Irish sentiment in Britain anymore as they shield this monster from justice, because sure who were his victims only a few Paddies

NYT Magazine headline “‘I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive - and Then Some There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won't cover it. Many doctors won't prescribe it. It's become a cultural phenomenon.”

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

Though I presume they're still opposed to the trans woman transitioning, because "going against god's will" blahblah

I presume they're opposed to the trans woman taking estrogen too

trans women are women.
with an endocrine disorder.
