Fed Up Toby

Schrödinger’s trans man looks so much like a man that he must be excluded but also so much not like a man that we can always tell.

Shit.

Wait we weren’t actually doing it yet were we…

This feels like -that- BBC article all over again.

Yes, absolutely.

People are going to have to learn, and learn quickly, how to differentiate between actual science and politicised science.

The people pushing this story aren’t being hysterical though. This is part of a strategy to create a hostile environment for trans people intended to push them out of public life and back into the closet.

It might be the first case where the gender critical lobby has miscalculated though.

As a child I knew it as the unpolitically correct ‘Chinese Whispers’.

Broadly it’s a situation where the same story is repeated over and over but errors start to creep in and multiply to the point where the story ceases to resemble the original.

The Telegraph's M&S trans shop assistant tall tale turned into a malicious game of telephone... Who needs proof when you got vibes?

On how a story mutates as it spreads across the British media…

Unfortunately for those that actively partook, unlike previous campaigns of bigotry, there is a digital record of what they are doing.

Hour of hate over and Fogarty didn’t find a single caller angry about M&S, and just one who complained about trans people in any context.

She’s getting angry with another caller now. Shes had one caller go in the direction she wanted, three not.

It’s slander at the end of the day, but our court system doesn’t protect every day people from the media.

She’s so far had two callers that haven’t remotely gone along with her and she is audibly furious.

We know what happens next. Musk will scold Grok for thought crimes and promise to fix it. Three days later Mecha Hitler V2 will appear.

It can’t be as grotesque as him.

I swear I’ve read this before.

That’s Lord Toby Young to you.

An in group that the law protects but doesn’t bind, and an out group that the law binds but does not protect.

Pushing political opinions and racist conspiracy theories into the classroom should absolutely be a sackable offence.

Ignored would be more accurate than overruled. Having said that it was two committees of cross party MPs and HoL peers. I don’t think either committee self selects.

Ignoring the committee reflects a government that is as arrogant as the one it succeeded.

Which high profile Labour MPs aren’t going down with the Starmer ship? The reputations of Reeves, Streeting, Rayner, Phillipson, Lammy, Cooper, Kyle, Eagle or Kendall are all taking a massive kicking.

The government missed the moment to quit X, when it was used to foment last Summer’s riots. It would have looked like a really smart move when Grok went through its Hitler phase.

It is a breeding ground for hate movements, from ‘gender critical feminism’ to the white supremacy you’re highlighting.

‘Do you hate trans people?’ is the GC purity test. So long as you pass that they’ll never criticise you.

Good to know who the collaborators are up front I suppose.

Deja vu — she managed the same in 2023 during the World Cup. A 111km/h penalty against Nigeria, faster than any PL goal that year.

Thank God and… I didn’t know that!

I’m starting to worry that I’ve imagined all such wet emergences. Daniel Craig in Casino Royale.. that definitely happened.. or did it?!

Isn’t Dr Kaltiala Finnish?

Entire thing basically bakes in the idea that Cass is a flawless piece of work. Even if criticisms of Cass weren’t myriad and strong, it’s such an unscientific attitude.

Trans allies including Kate Nash sign letter slamming new sex education guidance Alan Cumming, Kate Nash, Stephen Fry, and more have signed a petition condemning the government's RSHE guidance about trans identities.

Loads of celebrities sign an open letter against the Starmer government’s new trans Section 28+.

Including Stephen Fry, Kate Nash and Daniel Lismore.

Well done @lailaelmetoui.bsky.social, you are awesome!
