I’m getting the impression that a not insignificant factor in the success of the transphobia movement in the UK is that transphobic views have become very fashionable at middle class London dinner parties…

NEW ESSAY about Helen Lewis debating AI hallucinations of my work & Victoria Smith inventing vile lies about me. Why? Because that's what "gender critical" activists do: on Substack (no paywall) juliaserano.substack.com/p/why-do-hel... & Medium (friend link) juliaserano.medium.com/why-do-helen...

Absolutely insane. Uneblieveable. "Sex Matters", one of the hate groups responsible for removing trans people's rights via the Supreme Court are arguing that trans people shouldn't be allowed to transition because they don't have rights and not having rights is bad. Fucking hell

John Lithgow is saying the reason he said yes to starring as Dumbledore is coz he reckons it's his last major role and will take eight years to complete. Has anyone explained to him that instead of that he could make three really good films in that time? Films for adults that aren't made by bigots?

So important ➡️ In 2016 when North Carolina issued a ‘bathroom bill’, similar to what is happening in the UK right now, our Conservative government issues a travel warning to LGBTQ+ people. They recognised North Carolina was not a safe place for LGBTQ+ people. Our MPs need this spelled out to them.

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

It hurts every time someone suggests unisex or disabled loos as a “solution” to the trans bathroom question as though the idea of our segregation is reasonable

“Whenever people keep being given a platform to say they have no platform, or whenever people speak endlessly about being silenced, you not only have a performative contradiction; you are witnessing a mechanism of power.” You won’t be able to unsee this www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/anti...
