Whenever ppl are this weirdly combative online I imagine you behaving the same in irl interactions and it's kinda hilarious

They *are* quite confusing tho haha I've read bunch and still not sure what you're saying? Are you agreeing that they should have said something re trans rights, so "why bother alienating allies" means "I don't understand why they aren't explicitly supporting trans ppl" ?

Yes but the article is Quite Long

At a funeral saying deadass instead of amen

Zack Polanski’s ‘eco-populism’ could put voters off Greens, opponents say Exclusive: Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns say party could slide into irrelevance if it chooses new leader with ‘polarising’ approach

This really cemented my vote - against Ramsay and Chowns.

"Broad appeal" based on politics so watered-down no one even notices they're there isn't broadly appealing, it's broadly ignored.

There is no gap in the moderate/centre of British politics waiting for us

We've moved from 'don't say gay' to 'ban trans'. But this time, it's the policy of a 'Labour' Government.

Harry Potter TV series star Katherine Parkinson doesn't wish to add to trans "debate" – and says role won't disrupt other projects The actor, who has been cast as Molly Weasley, declined to comment on JK Rowling's views.

If you’re contributing to the commercial success of the Harry Potter franchise then you’re funding the removal of Trans+ rights. There is a very transparent funnelling of money toward that.

So you don’t get to say you don’t wish to ‘add to the trans debate’.

I will be removing all Tin Can Audio music releases from Spotify over the next few weeks. I can't stomach the idea of my music being used to fund instruments of destruction.

when Mr Borges came to me and said his build would have infinite hexagonal galleries, I thought he was quite mad, I thought he was – if you'll forgive the pun – babeling on a bit, but as it's all come together, I've come to appreciate both its beauty and its strange fearful magic

Just sit with this for a moment. Israel perpetrated what is certainly the largest single mass killing of trans people in history. And it's basically a footnote in an article in the NYT covered weeks after it happened.

If anyone encounters this directly, please do let us know (and try and record or keep a contemporaneous note). It's predictable, predicted, unlawful, outrageous and, by some intended.

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention Red Flag Alert on Anti-trans and intersex Rights in the UK Released on 30th of June 2025 The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security would like to bring attention to and condemn recent judicial and governmental developments in the United Kingdom, which attempt to harm transgender and intersex people in the UK by stripping them of privacy and segregating them as 'others.' The Lemkin Institute believes these moves are part of a broader process of erasure. It is not only government action but also the media narrative that has fuelled hostility to and debate about the humanity of trans and intersex people while ignoring their voices. We see evidence of genocidal intent and actions targeting these communities. In April this year, the United Kingdom's Supreme Court (UKSC) delivered a judgment declaring that, for the purposes of the Equality Act (2010), "sex" refers to "biological sex," which it did not define clearly. The Equality Act (2010) provides protection against discrimination on a variety of grounds in public spaces. This ruling at the UK's highest court means that individuals are now protected from discrimination on the basis of their assigned at birth sex, regardless of how that corresponds to their gender identity, lived gender, or sex characteristics. The decision is the result of a court challenge brought by the gender critical group For Women Scotland, which is financially backed by author J.K. Rowling and characterises itself as "feminist."' The UKSC decision creates dual legal categories for people who have gender recognition certificates, making them one sex for the purpose of the Equality Act (2010) and another for all other legal purposes, stripping people with Gender Recognition Certificates (GRCs) of crucial protections and privacy. Despite the UKSC's assurances in their reasoning that the decision in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers would not be disadvantageous to trans indiv…

"important protections," the practical repercussions for trans and intersex individuals are clear and serious. Since the ruling, "birth sex," "biological sex," and "natal sex" have all been used interchangeably, ignoring the multiple relevant components of biological sex and the existence of intersex people. Analysts immediately warned that the decision could be used to render single sex spaces off limits for trans people, including hospital wards, sports, and domestic violence shelters. For a group especially vulnerable to domestic violence, exclusion from specialised shelters is nothing short of cruel and could, in some cases, prove a death sentence. Transgender and intersex people may find themselves excluded not only from spaces of their current sex but also from spaces for their sex assigned at birth. Trans men would find themselves excluded from both male spaces on the basis of their assigned sex at birth, and female spaces if they are deemed to look too much like men. In the two months since the UKSC's decision, the situation has only worsened for the trans and intersex communities in the UK. For example the proposed NC21 amendment would have all public institutions record people by their sex assigned at birth and only include gender identity alongside this if they have a GRC, stripping transitioned people of privacy. Although this particular amendment was defeated, the Government has stated its desire to comply with the recommendations of the Sullivan review at a future date, which would require public institutions to collect someone's sex assigned at birth, leading to forced outing of transitioned people. This attempt to forcibly out transitioned people in public life is not limited to documentation. Head of the UK's Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) Baroness Falkner recently stated in the annual meeting with the Women and Equalities Committee that neither she nor the UKSC believe that transitioned people have a right to privacy around their gende…

Again, intersex people are left ignored. For example, it is not clear how this guidance would apply to an intersex woman who was originally recorded as male at birth and had her birth certificate amended to female. When asked if intersex people had been considered in this guidance, Baroness Falkner responded that intersex people had not been considered as they are not included in the Equality Act (2010). Baroness Falkner is not alone in her lack of consideration for intersex people in the UK. The UK scored a 0.0 for intersex bodily integrity on the Rainbow Map. Notably, in the United Kingdom, genital mutilation of intersex babies is still legal. If one compares this lack of protection for intersex infants to the efforts against Female Genital Mutilation in the United Kingdom, the overt interphobia of the United Kingdom's Government and judiciary becomes clear. Intersex surgeries are but one part of a documented public health crisis that strips bodily autonomy from people who fall outside of the sex and gender binary. The UK's Government commissioned "Cass Report" on gender-affirming care for transgender youth has not been peer reviewed and is, in fact, internationally criticised as methodologically flawed. Yet, it remains the basis upon which the government has now permanently banned puberty blockers for transgender youth despite evidence of the harm it is causing to transgender youth. Guardians who wish to provide gender-affirming care that has been found to have 'positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes' are forced to take their children out of the country and are at risk of scrutiny by social care services and even legal action. For adults too, gender affirming care in the United Kingdom is in crisis. Transgender adults face incredibly long wait times for such care, sometimes waiting years for an initial appointment. Government calls from both the UK's previous Conservative and current Labour government have advocated for transgender people to…

binaries second-class citizens, it will also lay the groundwork for increased genital mutilation of intersex infants and conversion therapy of transgender people. This escalation of anti-trans actions has done nothing to appease For Women Scotland, who are contemplating additional legal action against the Scottish government to ensure further erasure of trans people from public life. One representative of the group underscored the need to place trans women in male prisons, ostensibly for the safety of women prisoners. This would subject trans prisoners to discrimination and violence. In the United States, where many trans women have already been moved to male prisons, they face solitary confinement for their 'safety' and often suffer sexual abuse at the hands of guards. Despite the efforts of gender-critical groups to manipulate facts, there is no evidence of any danger posed by trans women to the safety of cis women prisoners. All of the actions described above fit neatly into the 9th Pattern of Genocide: "Denial and/or Prevention of Identity." As we have repeatedly stated over the years, genocide does not only manifest in the killing of an entire group. In the case of trans and intersex people, genocide is often perpetrated by making it impossible for individuals to exist as their true selves. The erasure of a group from public life is a step towards an attempt to erase that group's existence, which is the very definition of genocide. The UKSC's decision puts trans and intersex people at peril by forcing them to either out themselves or break the law, both of which run the risk of violent backlash. To explicitly confirm this, gratitude was extended in the UKSC ruling Ben Cooper KC, acting on behalf of Sex Matters. The latter is an explicitly anti-trans lobbying group that has since written to the NHS claiming that transitioning "becomes a major, permanent social problem for those (transgender) young people" - a claim that flies in the face of all serious research …
