06.08.2025 07:31 β π 8 π 0 π¬ 3 π 0Yes, I think this is the point. That, and the GCs really did massively overreach in the weeks after the SC ruling. Whilst the transphobic media reported the overreach largely uncritically, I think a lot of people who hadn't been paying much attention before had their eyes opened.

GIGGLE lost. That's what I meant.

No, but there are cracks.
The EHRC's post-SC overreach shocked a fair few previously complacent people (including MPs), I think. There's some evidence that at least some MPs have woken up to what's going on.
It's not nearly enough, but it's a start. It's better than nothing.
What happened? Tickle lost again?
I saw that the court had refused to have any truck with the kind of nonsense the GC lot are getting away with in the UK atm...
Is the appeal hearing over?

Your trans friends and colleagues have to do the work of fighting fascism every day. Take something off their plates.

is nothing more than poorly recycled
NAZI propaganda....
The irony is that TERFism is literally
FASCISM in a dress sneaking into
"Women's spaces"
Transphobes may actually be the worst of all bigots, they have chosen to go after people who are vulnerable & basically shit all over them, then claim some moral superiority that has no grounds whatsoever. Itβs heartless, itβs cruel, itβs unnecessary and I detest it. π³οΈββ§οΈ
