When writing this piece, I kept thinking back to this Instagram post I saw from a trans woman the other day. This is what I'm talking about. Watch this:

British trans people had to go to the European Court of Human Rights in 1986, 1990, 1992, 1997, 1998 and 2002 before the UK was finally forced to pass the Gender Recognition Act 2004.

How much work to regain lost rights will they need this time?

Joanne will never run out of money because people keep buying her stuff, and so this will keep happening. SLAPP after SLAPP until trans people are completely drummed out of public existence and nobody will do a thing about it

Rowling’s brand of bigotry will not stopped until trans people are excluded from all parts of public life.

We need our allies to speak up, loudly

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.

It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.

Just proves that the line these GCs peddle of wanting to protect children is utter lies, if they use child abuse as a punchline to attack people. They are seriously disturbed and should be investigated. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

It kept thinking I was a bot! That was even more stressful than the day I booked my Kate Bush ticket and thats saying something.

Me too! (although the booking system sent my stress levels sky high)

Essential to watch. This is not new, has been said before by autistic people but ignored. But this needs to be known, widely known, so that this abuse is stopped for good.

I was just thinking the same, I dont like arenas due to overwhelm but thinking I really should go to this.

add in the ADHD dopamine chasing, autistic fixations, nonbinary "I want to look like that" - the issue of attraction gets very...muddy. Ive realised most (99%) of my attractions have been aesthetic with a mix of the above.

also those of us with cPTSD. Ive definitely realised i'm limerent. But thats why I took so long to realise I was aroace, too many contradictions which only now make sense with additional information.

BBC being transphobic...what a fucking surprise!

gets even more confusing when you look into limerance.

I doubt they'd get it though

Destroying fundamentals of the justice system...thats another tick in the fascism checklist isnt it.

TBH ive found those who wear them generally ARE that kind.

Transphobia is firmly entrenched in this country, right to the very top.

And why Im fed up with people defending its existence.

internalised transphobia probably.

The judge was also clearly transphobic to excuse GL's behaviour. Thats the only explanation for this verdict.

FFS the law in this country is a fucking joke. This man has been harrassing people non stop for the last few years.

*taking notes*

that is very true. I was only a book keeper of sorts, and I saw all kinds of weird shit.

*good teachers. There are also those who stamp on seedlings.

Plenty of us, many of us, were warning that Labour were going down this path but we were (are) ignored or dismissed.

Bragging about taking away vulnerable people's healthcare...what a piece of work.

I cannot be alone in being cynical about the timing of the 'Hitler is neurodivergent' story, just as there is a backlash against neurodivergent people.

for me it tends to be limerance, and now knowing its that makes it a little easier to deal with. Just have to ride out the brain drug addiction.
