"Britain’s persecution of trans people is not a reflection of an informed public demanding action. It is a reflection of a political and media establishment desperate to avoid scrutiny, eager to misdirect public anger, and entirely comfortable punching down when it suits them" πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Kishwer Falkner, the former EHRC chair, is on Sky saying the Labour government is anti-women, citing not just trans issues but also grooming gangs and what she calls pandering to Islam and racial sensitivities.
She's not exactly dispelling the idea she was a political actor when she led the EHRC.

Public bodies are crammed with cranks and wingnuts because politics is rammed with cranks and wingnuts, and this isn’t seen as remarkable and disgraceful because sadly the press is also full to bursting with cranks and wingnuts.

#UK #Transrights The NHS is just a bastion of hatred for trans people. Camilla Kingdon, who is now the Chair of the Children and Young People’s Gender Services Provider Collaborative and a close ally to Hilary Cass, saw fit to write a paper in June 2025, with Cass listed as co-author, which aims

National security expert says second Lavender Scare is here as gov't purges LGBTQ+ workers - LGBTQ Nation Is Laura Loomer the new Joseph McCarthy?

The quisling 'gays', who are of course mostly cishet, like the LGB Anschluss, will blame trans people for this, rather than their own choice to endorse face-ripping leopards.

Along with others here, I am suspecting AI, partly because reading out the whole pile of ordure would have involved actual physical work.

Girlguiding decision important yet it all makes me sad. The Guides meant so much to me but the announcement is so grudging, so reluctant, so concerned about the impact on boys, I wonder if it can ever again give girls the brilliant, confidence building space in which I thrived.

Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.

Woman loses sex discrimination case after toilet complaint - BBC News Maria Kelly took legal action against Leonardo UK alleging harassment and discrimination after seeing a trans colleague in female toilets.

Good news for trans workers

After the Girl guiding and WI announcements, some comfort for trans workers.

A Scottish tribunal has ruled that a trans-inclusive workplace policy is NOT discriminatory against a woman with gender critical views in the workplace.

Jenny Watson Feuds With LGB Alliance β€” Assigned L Community founder and former LGB Alliance darling has run afoul of the anti-trans activist organization for, she alleges, reporting sexual misconduct.

Jenny Watson is at it again! This time the wannabe trans-exclusionary-bar owner is going scorched earth on her apparently former allies, the LGB Alliance.

"Native British ancestry"

No Angles, Jutes, Saxons, then? In fact, nobody since before the Romans?

Racist tosser. Hint: we're all African by origin. Rational people see that as a wonder, not a failing.

When I first got elected as a councillor, there was a complaint about me being appointed to a committee which was essentially β€œhe [sic] is trans”. There have been others on the same basis. And this framing follows me round every single day, not because of anything I’ve done.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades
