The EHRC Guidance is a wicked exercise in removing rights from trans people - and is bad too for employers and service providers, those outside gender norms, people with disabilities and the economy. We've created a tool to make it easy to respond. Please use and share. goodlaw.social/9e59e9

ANYONE who thinks ANY group should accept fewer human rights than everyone else is totally unfit to serve as an EHRC commissioner.

“We remember those Muslims… facing conflict, persecution or suffering”, says the PM. Meanwhile the UK continues to arm Israel’s genocide, & thousands of Palestinians mourn the slaughter of their families. Spare us the hypocrisy. Impose an immediate full arms embargo on Israel.

1. An international humanitarian organization, Human Rights Watch, has issued a scathing report on transgender healthcare bans in the United States. They detail loss of care, people forced to move, and more. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

Shocking but unsurprising to see two Labour MPs in front attempt to shout me down — for standing up for disabled people hit by cuts, kids pushed into poverty by the two-child benefit cap & pensioners who lost winter fuel payments. I know whose side I’m on. Can they say the same?

Taken trans rights back 25 years. Banned from every major Pride march in the country because of their bigotry. Biggest drop in the UK's ILGA rating. But Labour are wishing us "Happy Pride. Can't bring themselves to say to LGBTQ+ though. The racist fucks in Labour probably think it means white pride

Insane this isn’t a bigger global story. Climate change is causing glacier collapse in the Alps. The Swiss town of Blatten was destroyed yesterday. The few buildings that survived the 3.5 million cubic metres of landslide are now slowly drowning as the collapsed mountain damns the river. (🎥 AFP)

A 1053 page review of gender affirming care le.utah.gov/AgencyRP/rep... as reported by @motherjones.com says “gender affirming care reduces suicide risk and improves mental health outcomes in transgender people, with the effect most marked in the u18 age group.” But Wes has other ideas. 🤬🤬🤬

Running a televised debate linked to a by-election without any of the actual candidates says a lot about the state of both media and politics in this country.

Stop saying Trump is ‘fighting for free speech’. Fuck off. He’s waging war against universities, the press and dissent. He’s attacking the very freedom to think for yourself. It’s an attempt to kill any notion of intellectualism

Some more inconvenient evidence for you to ignore, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social? Still, what matters a few more dead kids if you minimise negative press from The Daily Rowling.
