Just Being Human ❄️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

This is the 12th Olympics that trans women have been eligible to compete in since 2003. So far we have never seen a trans woman winter Olympian.

No trans women qualified in Milano Cortina they couldn't even beat Lindsey Vonn who qualified with a completely torn ACL. How?

This needs to be seen is being all part of a media and political campaign to criminalise trans people and their lives. Trans people, even innocent trans people, are finding themselves being talked about and treated as if they were criminals.

Transphobia as a political strategy was discussed quite openly in the Epstein files.

Labour could point this out & reverse all of it

*this assumes they’re a progressive party ofc

To understand how much Alex Massie actually cares about women's safety: when I called out his transphobe-in-arms Nick Cohen for multiple acts of sexual misconduct against cis women, which eventually got him sacked, Massie went berserk at me.

Transphobia is a men's rights movement in drag.

It's hard to overstate the degree to which the general public is being lied to about trans people

Social media ban is "reactionary measure" that will harm LGBTQIA+ youth, campaigners warn It would disproportionately affect LGBTQIA+ young people, who rely more heavily on the platforms to connect with other queer people

ICYMI: A social media ban would disproportionately affect LGBTQIA+ young people, who rely more heavily on the platforms to connect with other queer people

‘Gender critical’ trans-hostile journalists are trying to undermine the FOI findings - virtually NO trans kids got access to blockers via GIDS following Bell v Tavistock.

Crucially, UK media shouted about how access had been shut down - PERCEPTION was of a ban!

These figures show trans suicides amongst minors went from 5 and 4 per annum to (at least) 22. The only explanation for the media not reporting that four or five fold surge is because it doesn't want to. And it doesn't want to because its trans panic was a cause of that surge.

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

The number of trans youth suicides in the UK quadrupled in 2021 following significant restrictions in access to care. The NHS tried to cover this up with a fake report that tried to hide the truth.

Wes Streeting and Louis Appleby should go to prison over this. It's a massive scandal and they covered it up. They knew what they were doing restricting access to care and they did it anyways because of politics.

Ask every Harry Potter fan how many more dead children it would take for them to stop funding the biggest anti trans campaign of my lifetime?

Richard Dawkins. Steven Pinker. Lawrence Krauss. Jonathan Haidt. Robert Trivers. Prominent atheists and scientists who have pushed anti-trans propaganda for years. They all had ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Some received huge research grants and island trips, and all of them benefited from their ties.

Prof Nisreen Alwan @nisreenalwan.bs... • 3h One of the (maybe intended) devastating effects of all the sleaze coming out on the political stage is people disengaging even more thinking what's the point, they're all as bad as each other etc. But remember things can get worse and hope is about words & actions not a passive state of delusion.

This is true but we should recall that *the entire point of the McSweeney Labour project* was to restore public indifference to politics, and to fight a low-stakes, low-engagement, low-turnout election, specifically so that the lads could go back to agreeing policy with donors offscreen.

Professor Louis Appleby covered up a policy which killed trans children so that the British government could kill some more through neglect and lack of care.

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

Massive Trump statue to be erected where US will host G20 The bronze likeness of the 45th and 47th president was commissioned by a group of cryptocurrency investors

And while we are on the subject - you know who puts up statues like this while the subject is still in office? The bad guys, the worst guys - the very people that democracy stands against.

‘A stain on our history’: outrage after Trump shares racist video about Obamas as White House attempts to brush off the post – live Former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes slams Trump for posting racist video on Truth Social; Karoline Leavitt says criticism is ‘fake outrage’

Bang on the money:

“Let it haunt Trump and his racist followers that future Americans will embrace the Obamas as beloved figures while studying him as a stain on our history.”

Trump is determined to be remembered as a 'great man'.
His curse is that he won't be.

Meet the mastermind behind Trump’s definition of "woman" May Mailman’s anti-trans crusade could threaten gender equality for all.

Trans people were the proving grounds to normalize the made up term "biological sex"to roll back decades of progress on gender equality. When you get bioessentialist language, suddenly everything from gender roles to marriage becomes an argument about "biology."

The BBC have responded to our letter with the usual talking points seen from them; they completely ignored the issues raised within our original letter. We have sent them a follow-up letter to push for a response to the important points we have raised.

LABOUR TOGETHER Culture Clash Bridging Our Divides Sunder Katwala September 4th, 2023 British Future... labourtogether.uk

Labour “Together” is the prime source of Labour’s transphobia. One part of this, ostensibly written by @sundersays.bsky.social (but I suspect someone else) made the unevidenced claim that there was a “conflict of rights” between trans ppl & cis women.

So full of admiration for the women who stood firm for inclusion through all this:

The women fighting for trans inclusion at Hampstead ponds The High Court has rejected a legal challenge attempting to ban trans people from Hampstead Heath’s single-sex ponds. Good Law Project speaks to the activists and regular swimmers behind the movement ...

"As co-chair, Beth, now 68, faced down intimidation from anti-trans groups to oversee a vote that cemented the Association’s inclusive ethos in 2024. It was, she says, 'the hardest thing I have ever done, and also the thing I’m the most proud of.'"

we owe cisgender women like beth.

they could just discard us. it would be so easy. but they choose to fight for us instead.

Trans athletes may not have fitness advantage in women’s sport, landmark study finds Findings suggest physical performance in trans women converges toward that of cis women over time

Attn: @rory-stewart.bsky.social

Very similar story to me.

I've not said much about the impact of FWS v SM on me really.

I came out late. In my early forties. Like many late transitioners, I had a history of anxiety and depression. I wonder if there's a link? /s

Anyway...

Equalities watchdog rejects SNP claims over trans prisoners' rights The EHRC also warned that female prisons would cease to be single-sex if biological men were housed there Daniel Sanderson, Scottish Political Editor Tuesday February 03 2026, 11.00pm, The Times Britain's equalities regulator has rubbished SNP ministers' claim that a ban on biological men in female prisons would breach the human rights of transgender inmates, it has emerged. In a written submission to a case brought by the campaign group For Women Scotland (FWS), the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) warned that if biological men were permitted to serve time in female jails, then prisons would no longer be a "single-sex” service.

Once again the EHRC intervenes, while claiming not to, to support gender critical activists and place trans individuals at more harm.
The suggestion here of "trans only wings" denies by matter of reality trans individuals rights, and recognition of their gender.

Emily Maitlis and Peter Mandelson

The rush of media/political figure pretending they had no idea about Mandelson in an effort to put clear water between them and him is very instructive of their culture. 'Here, take this scapegoat, leave us alone' say the worst people in the world.
