So just to put the record straight.
They are ALL recommending voting Green
I was beyond appalled by Bridget Phillipson's recent New Statesman profile. She is Women and Equalities Minister, she knows what is happening to trans people and yet chose for expediency to join with the press, the fascists and the billionaires in a naked attack on a profoundly minoritised group.

Labour lost three council seats last night. 1 each to the Greens, Lib dems and Plaid. Reform were 2nd or 3rd in each.
The Greens also won and beat Reform in another local election.
So when they say vote Labour to stop Reform, they couldn't be more wrong. Vote almost anyone but Labour to beat Reform.

The Government has said it would cost ยฃ99 billion to nationalise the water sector, but refusing shareholders compensation would put the cost of public ownership of water well below this. The true cost in law is closer to zero. 1/3

Anti-trans ideology has:
- decemitated the Womenโs Institute
- made it less safe for women to access female single-sex spaces
- made it much harder to be a gender non-conforming woman
- Reduced women to their anatomy
- increased female objectification
- reinforced sexist stereotypes
What bothers me about this is that we swung from an 11bn deficit to a 30bn surplus in one month, and the chancellor IS SURPRISED.
Isn't she supposed to know how the economy works and what it is doing? Not just sit in her office with her fingers crossed, like me on lotto night?
Conservatives spent years complaining about โsafe-spacesโ and โliberal snowflakesโ only to turn around and show they are absolutely terrified of ideas they donโt like (โracism is badโ โgender is fluidโ) and willing to use state power to avoid the slightest discomfort.
The snowiest of flakes.
I'll go one further: what ticked them off is the idea that there's NOT a space in which THEY are coddled and pandered to. That's what they objected to about the idea; that it would prioritize literally anyone but them. How dare they? They should have priority--always!

I Benjamin Ryan @benryanwriter X.com One of the reasons I got serious about reporting about pediatric gender medicine is that when I tweeted in Dec 2022 that it was a shame that researchers were discouraged from studying detransitioning, Alejandra Caraballo brutally attacked me on Twitter. I was not going to let a bully push me around and lie about me, for one thing. And two, I knew that any field which was guarded so aggressively by activists forbiddng anyone from asking *reasonable and substantive questions* had to be newsworthy and important. And I quickly realized that most reporters were too scared of the Caraballos of the world, meaning there was a massive amount of uncovered territory for me as a reporter, so long as I could stand being routinely attacked, maligned, defamed, lied about, excommunicated, and so on.
Benjamin Ryan openly admits that his reporting on trans issues is animated by personal bias against someone who was mean to him online. Ben is not capable of reporting on this issue objectively, and yet the New York Times and other outlets repeatedly let him do just that.
