that is entirely irrelevant to what i said, but i'm glad to hear that more people that need support are getting it, instead of suffering without.

pip is a benefit that specifically *helps* disabled people into work, as it's designed to help pay for things like mobility aids and care in the home. it is not an out-of-work benefit, and over half a million disabled people rely on it currently to be *able to work*.

while testosterone is a class c drug, purchase and possession (for personal use) is currently legal, and i don't see that changing anytime soon either - trans people are a microscopic portion of grey market t users

โ€œConservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect": Frank Wilhoit.

The conservative in-group which others transness enjoys wealth, the media and patriarchal norms.

We don't think the interim guidance published by the EHRC and pushed by Bridget Phillipson is lawful.

So today we've started legal proceedings against them.

In 2015, the UK was the leading country on LGBTI human rights in Europe according to IGLA-Europe, with 86%.

In 2025, we have dropped to 46%.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments.

It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap.

It was wrong to slash disability benefits.

Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.

the "stop doing math" meme except it says "STOP DRIVING CARS". the meme reads:
* PEOPLE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ISOLATED IN CAGES
* YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for building ONE MORE LANE
* Wanted to travel large distances anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "TRAINS"
* "Yes please give me NO GREENERY. Please give me INFINITE PAVEMENT" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what Civil Engineers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the concrete and asphalt we built for them
(This is REAL Civil Infrastructure, done by REAL Civil Engineers):

?? [Image of a gigantic mega parking lot with thousands of cars]

They have played us for absolute fools

The Gist: Trans rights are Data rights A UK court has made a decision defining genders which has put it at odds with a less noticed, more important, decision from the CJEU. This is the Gist.

This article is so good

Definitely read it, especially if you aren't British and want to understand what is going on

you can see the top-down authoritarian nature of the anti-trans movement very clearly in graham linehan, in how every time there's a report or legal case that says he's right he does a victory lap expecting it to actually change how people think. like he's looking forward to apologies

๐ŸงตNOT BY ME, this is a post from someone who wants to remain anonymous but works extensively with trans people pre-transition. They were asked by someone โ€œwhy do you think thatโ€™s so much [coverage of trans people] in the news at the moment?โ€

This was their response:

every single one of your examples was available-as-default before this ruling, but no more - for example, what ward in a hospital is a trans man expected to use if not the men's or the women's?

nonsense. it's clear to anyone with a functioning level of literacy that trans men are far more likely to be denied access to services they need now than they were previously
