Geeky UK trans woman trying to work out her place in the world. A fairly well-balanced pile of contradictions. Likely to be as rubbish posting on here as I was on X.

Sandie Peggie lawyer says Scottish government is in denial Lawyer Naomi Cunningham says the Supreme Court judgment is

This entire article is just the views of Naomi Cunningham and her organisation Sex Matters dressed up as though it were some sort of actual news piece. Without even a semblance of attempted balance. From the BBC.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as β€œthe most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Twenty-two years ago today Section 28 was repealed.

But we're seeing history repeat itself as some in the media and in politics spread bigotry and misinformation about trans people.

The BBC must stop attacking trans people | Good Law Project The right wing accusations of β€˜pro-trans’ bias are back to front. It’s time for the BBC to live up to its duty to be impartial on trans issues.

The BBC, quite consciously, sets out to demean and belittle trans people. This is both morally contemptible and in breach of its Charter obligations. We've made it super easy for you to write to the BBC and tell it to stop.

The Olympics had allowed trans women to compete since the 2004 games.

Out of 10s of thousands of competitors, only one trans woman ever qualified. She came last.

Zero medals. Zero.

Zero.

Yet the far right has convinced elites they were dominating.

Victoria's response to kamikazi transphobe Linehan reminds us that angry men are happy to harass women in the name of (checks notes) women's rights and that if a trans woman appearing on tv sends them ballistic then this is not about women's rights, it's about the eradication of the trans community

@sadikal-hassanmp.bsky.social Albania (yes, Albania) is now more progressive on trans rights than the UK. The EHRC, which ought to be defending our rights, is instead desperate to undermine them. Please use your voice in Parliament to support your trans constituents!

A historic win for equality in #Albania! Parliament has passed the Law β€œOn Gender Equality”, keeping protections for sexual orientation, gender identity and expression and withdrawn a proposal to recognise only two genders.

A victory for unity, dignity and democracy. 🧡

It is utterly insane to claim that BBC News has a β€œpro-trans bias”, when they are currently publishing articles in which they describe trans women as β€œa biological male who identifies as a woman”. That isn’t them quoting anyone, that is them choosing to use the language of gender critical bigots.

Frightened and desperate: EHRC anti-trans campaign loses its momentum A week of absolute scenes leaves the organisation in limbo.

Worth a read and a share.

I wonder if the UK government have realised that introducing segregation and exclusion might be a bad look internationally.

The EHRC are now realising they're left holding the hot potato lol.

And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
