EHRC withdraws interim guidance encouraging trans exclusion
After six months of confusion and delay, the EHRC has taken down interim guidance rushed out in April. But the damage has already been done.
"The EHRCβs exclusionary interim guidance has had a devastating impact on trans peopleβs lives"
βNow the guidance has been withdrawn, so should the exclusionary policies that organisations rashly implemented in its aftermath. If not, they could find themselves in hot water.β

Tumblr post from every-lemon
Sep 8
so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.

Justice secretary to oppose abortion amendments in crime bill
The times
Looking across the papers today, anti-trans rights commentators and politicians also seem to be the ones opposing making abortion legal. It shouldnβt be a shock to anyone - theyβre against bodily autonomy. For everyone.

How the Farm Industry Spied on Animal Rights Activists and Pushed the FBI to Treat Them as Terrorists
For years, a powerful βBig Agβ trade group served up information on activists to the FBI. Records reveal a decade-long effort to see the animal rights movement labeled a legitimate terrorism threat.
Confidential records obtained by WIRED & @propertyofthepeople.org show the ag industry deploying moles to infiltrate activist meetings, while functionally serving as FBI informants, in a shadow campaign to brand the animal rights movement America's biggest bioterrorism threat.

No one's "perfect" but many other Women's Liberation Movement bodies of work exist. Ones that aren't rooted in the kind of fascistic claim to innocence that gives rise to - literally, in this case - settler-colonial solutions. What if everyone was doing a Prescod/Nestle/Hollibaugh revival instead...

Until recently I hadn't read "Scapegoat," a book that is never mentioned in the now 6-year-long Dworkin revival going on (even though it seems in many ways to be her magnum opus). It's the book where Dworkin finally says what she thinks women should do. The answer she comes up with may surprise you.
