Britain’s Bathroom Ban The UK has gone from a bathroom ban being unthinkable to a Labour government implementing an extraordinarily authoritarian one—without a vote.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

‘What have I done wrong?’ Trans kids go back to school bathroom bans in Scotland Councils rushing to put policies on school bathrooms in place leave trans children facing confusion, distress and the risk of being outed.

Ah god this has really got me. It’s bullying kids as state policy. It’s just evil.

„Das Wort „Wiedergutmachung“ will die Bundesregierung unbedingt vermeiden […]. Dabei beruft sie sich darauf, dass es zum Zeitpunkt der Gewalttaten noch kein Völkerstrafrecht gegeben habe.“

POSTPONED (until further notice): Reading Talia Mae Bettcher's 'BEYOND PERSONHOOD'

"A 17-year-old boy who was walking with two teenage girls in the city center laughed when asked about right-wing extremism at their school. "Hitler is glorified big time!" they said, adding that the Hitler salute is now a regular part of their school life."

Israel: Experte erklärt, wie Justiz weniger liberal ist als angenommen Israels Justiz gilt als liberal. Im Umgang mit Gaza zeigt sie ein anderes Gesicht, sagt Michael Sfard, Menschenrechtsanwalt.

My reply to Talia Bettcher's response to my paper "Epistemic Domination and 'Gender Identity Fraud' Prosecutions" is out. Check out our discussion! Thanks a lot to SERRC for making this possible.

This should absolutely be a scandal which people lose their jobs over. You'd have to assume that anyone in power actually cares though to think that would happen, which obviously would be a bold assumption in present circumstances.

This seems to be an interesting book for broadening discussions on sex work with students.

Picture with three paragraphs of black text on white background in typewriter font: Being Trans in Philosophy is a zine collecting first-personal accounts of what it's actually like to be trans or to have trans kids as a philosopher. Our stories highlight the material, on-the-ground consequences of academic philosophy's role as perhaps the main discipline providing intellectual cover for a global transmisogynistic and transphobic moral panic -- one that has been increasingly institutionalized into laws and policies. Forthcoming June 2025

Trans people and our loved ones are not okay -- in, with, and because of academic philosophy. #beingtransinphilosophy tells these stories firsthand.

Much love to all the trans moms who won't be celebrated tomorrow (or won't be celebrated to the degree they should be). I hope you do something kind for yourself. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

"What we’re witnessing with this new government is a project of right-wing restoration, mirroring similar shifts in other Western countries, & in many ways echoing the realignment in the U.S.: a reassertion of ethno-identity politics, wrapped in a language of political pragmatism – and 'normalcy.'"
