Peer-reviewed critiques of The Cass Review
(In chronological order of publication) Horton, C (2024) The Cass Review: Cis-supremacy in the UKβs approach to healthcare for trans childre...
Any politician using the Cass Review to justify anything is dishonest, especially Bridget Phillipson.
It is un-peer-reviewed pseudoscience that has been, & will continue to be, discredited by multiple peer-reviewed publications all of which have more credibility than Cass.

eek. I've not, and won't, read the full judgment but from the snippets I have read this does seem to be what's happened. It seems UK law is now, fully and officially, geared against us.
I think without an ECHR intervention, which will take forever to come in, we're in a very shit position legally

itβs exhausting to continue to advocate for ourselves under these conditions and itβs supposed to be.
there should never be a goal - implicit or stated - of intentionally reducing a population of people who share a set of common characteristics. thatβs literally, as the OP points out, genocidal

I genuinely had to remind myself of what the tame impala album, the slow rush, looked like because the album art and this cover are very similar.
Anyways this looks like a very interesting read, I should really get back into reading.

It's worth noting that this was also a pretext to open up new services designed and run by people who push an unproven pseudoscientific "Gender Exploratory Therapy" model that has been likened to conversion therapy by international experts.

A screenshot of a social media post by James Woods. The text of the post makes inflammatory claims linking puberty blockers and transgender individuals to violence. Below the text is a thumbnail of a video featuring a person laughing. A large red diagonal line is drawn across the entire image with the text "FALSE: NOT THE SHOOTER" overlaid in bold red letters.
A screenshot of a social media post by an account named "Garbage Human." The text reads, "So this is the creature that shot up the school. If only there were some signs." The image shows a person in a pink "Internet Princess" tank top holding a rifle in a bathroom. A large red "X" and the word "FALSE" in red serif font are superimposed over the photo.
A screenshot of a social media post by Aron Pielka, translated from German. The text discusses a "Transterror phenomenon" and makes disparaging comments about gender identity and its effects. Below the text are two side-by-side selfies of a person; the faces in both photos have been heavily obscured with thick red digital scribbles.
A screenshot of a social media post by Alex Jones. The text claims "Demon possession is real" and falsely identifies a person named Jesse Van Rootselaar as a "Trans Shooter" responsible for a school shooting in Canada. The post features a video thumbnail of a person in a dark hoodie. A large red "X" and the word "False" in red text are layered over the video thumbnail.
I can't overstate just how much of a disinformation weapon X has becomeand it's being targeted at trans people in particular. A 6 year old video is going around being passed off as the shooter. Fake images are circulating like crazy along with outright genocidal language.

one of the things i got from diving into the weeds of this debate for my reporting on it was just how small the core 'gender critical' team is

One of the persistent weird claims of the GC movement is that transfem breastfeeding (induced via similar means to inducing a lesbian co-parent, or another relative to breastfeed using domperidone especially in cases where natal parent can't give milk) is that trans women's breast milk isn't milk.

So cool that Keir Starmer the Queer Harmer enables the cultural genocide of trans people while at the same cuddling and rewarding one of Epsteinβs pets.
Anti-trans legislation is entirely based on *imagined* versions of the crimes being committed by the legislators and/or their friends.

transition is a choice that anyone can make for any reason, and if I do it because of the Latent Transsexual Genes Lurking In My Head and some other bitch does it because she wants to attract lesbian librarians by bending over in a pencil skirt by the periodicals we are both right to choose it

The fact that sex offences committed by the establishment don't get reported on by the press until it's politically convinient to do so has me very confident that Epstein was an aberration and not simply the billionaire who got caught.

everyone with an IQ above paste could have predicted this would happen: anyway; these Meta glasses are ontologically evil and anyone who wears them is a creeping blood-worm who should be chased from society with stones and sharp sticks

wait actually though, the first person POV video being chased from society with stones and sharp sticks would be great to watch imo. Imagine getting to chase them out, then laugh at them from their perspective as it happened? beautiful

This is what Goodwin said about "biological" accounts of sex in law. For Foran's argument to work, the Court would have to accept some kind of "biological sex" account, and that is something that they cast doubt on in Goodwin.

They're calling HRT a "sex-rejecting procedure" now. I guess that means my wife gives me HRT every night!

What does trans mean and what rights do transgender people have?
The UK Supreme Court's definition of a woman in equalities law has significant implications for transgender people.
Spectacularly poor reporting by BBC. Framing for how they represent Sex Matters and LGB Alliance arguments compared to @transactualuk.bsky.social and @stonewalluk.bsky.social alone is hostile, but it's added to by a embedding offensive narratives about trans individuals.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Labour is briefing that they know they won't win the Gorton and Denton by election.
