Which illustrates the point that neither being in nor out of the eu affects the foxhunting issue

You can tell it’s going well when they break out the old ‘well my views aren’t technically illegal’ chestnut

I am spending a not insignificant amount of time looking at methods of removing/replacing/defacing all sorts of signs and stickers at the moment.

Tbh it feels like the people who came up with the rankings were not the same as the ones who wrote the article. I can see them wondering how they are supposed to justify his inclusion and grasping at straws.

Patron of lgbt labour ‘for a few years’, as if he got near power and realised he needed to pad out a glaringly empty CV. Alongside a former employer and barely getting reelected, that’s enough to put you in the top 10 apparently!

We have so few supportive publications; I’ve been clinging on to the hope that the independent was one of them but that article made it clear they celebrate transphobes.

A few good men vibes. ‘Oh you *strongly* disagree, well in that case…’

That’s how I read it too - it probably means ‘either’ but to the eye it looks like all fathers must be escorted by a mother

'I don't even want to think about what he considers a bad economy' - that's an easy one it's any economy associated with literally any other president

I'm begging the press, the media, anyone - just once find a picture of him with his mouth closed. Is he a bat? Trying to catch his meal in the wind?

going to see this a lot:
“We are making this rule because lawyers told us we had to”
“We won’t police it because it’s stupid”
Then the lawsuits from both sides hit and everyone everywhere is angry at everything. We then make offerings of thanks to the lord of Clarity.

Whaaat Falkner was appointed by Liz Truss? How is she still there.

That 18 year old was a referral. The bit about proportion or going under the knife was simply lies.

Ugh - how many on-the-fence people have turned into GCs because of fake stuff like this. Sad thing is I know they won't reevaluate even if its pointed out, the damage is done, they are brainwashed.

It's intended entirely to have a chilling effect on his speech. The reason they are just impotently watching (a job i'm sure they will look back at fondly when they sit on their deathbed wondering what they did with their life) is because there is nothing actionable.

What kind of doctor would treat someone (of sound mind) who doesn't consent
comment in response to

Half stupidity, half desperation. GCs are well aware there is no practical method of proving birth assignment, so EHRC has to just throw shit at the wall and hope it hits a trans person.
Expect massive and endless campaigns to get birth markers mandated on documents.

Yeah if we can solve the whole ‘equalities act is based on bio sex’ thing just by slamming down a passport then this someone please put this telegraph journo on the EHRC

True, although the PCS annual delegate meeting started today and I’m hearing vague but bad things about it.

There is no privacy with birth certificates - anyone old enough can be looked up online: www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl - younger people’s a bit harder to find, but not hard

We are having a real shitty month and it sounds like the PCS is about to make it worse

I’m in disbelief that the PCS supported this. It’s like another wall starting to close in.

"But what if baddies got hold of a GRC? They could... uh... retire earlier? Oh we got rid of that. Well they would be able to use single sex spaces! Ah nvm we banned GRC holders from those. Well - uh.. wait. They can have a different... death certificate marker!"
Real worthwhile gatekeeping

It's @sugargsp.bsky.social! - she is one of those rare but incredibly important members of the community who are cis passing but still out and proud about their transness. That's pretty much the only thing I see that makes terms (momentarily) say 'oh ok, i was wrong about always being able to tell'

glinner and some mumsnet posters did. the latter begrudingly admitted being wrong and said it can happen on rare occasions - oblivious to the staggering confirmation bias.

It's a good thing our rights are rights and not just privileges that can be revoked when popular opinion dictates. Right? Still don't see why the dignity of this particular minority has become acceptable to 'debate' (ie: wage war on).
comment in response to

This was the mumsnet reaction - 'women wouldn't do this, it hurts! it's unladylike! they would be uncomfortable!', completely oblivious of the long history of cis women doing this. Go tell FEMEN they aren't real women, you fucking ghouls.

I was looking for a poll to answer that question either way - but couldn't find anything. We were just not on peoples radar until the early 2010's - but my subjective memories of how trans people were viewed back then was not positive. Jerry Springer, Ace Ventura, etc.

Most people didn't when the GRA was created, even the people creating it - it was forced upon them by the court of human rights. The problem now isn't just that we lost majority support - but that people have been convinced that our basic rights should be granted or withdrawn by popular agreement.

I don't think people realise how expensive and difficult to maintain toilets are. They have always been one of the first things on the list for council cost cutting. People saying 'just make some third spaces' don't have a clue [read: they don't care]

Unless I'm thinking of a different case involving fire investigators making shit up, I read about this case a long time ago. Can't believe it's taken so long to free him.

The gall of saying 'permitted to win gold as women at the Paris Olympics', as if a trans woman has ever gotten close to an Olympic medal. Every word in the article is dripping with deceit.

"co-chair... of the LGBT Civil Service Network, wears 'gothic' clothes to work which some likened to 'fetish gear'"
Wait - this is where the whole 'fetish clothing' thing came from? Someone was dressing a bit goth? Pathetic, but also sadly very effective character assassination.

I hope there is some court out there dedicated to safeguarding our human rights

I think this is quite positive actually - the fact that they are having a review suggests that the backlash from rushing to be the first company to segregate might actually have hurt them quite a lot.

That’s a great alternative. So many people have been saying ‘as recorded on their birth certificate’ oblivious to the fact that the GRC gives us a new cert.

Few options:
1. Some compromise is reached that may or may not sacrifice trans people
2. Lords relent - wishing to avoid the following options
3. Parliament goes to recess and the bill dies
4. Government use the parliament act to overrule the lords

Not at all, I don’t know anything about their case - dishon discharge is such a big deal I just find it difficult to accept the military could do that to someone just for serving while trans

Is that actually what is happening though? The DoD page says:
"All service members affected by the policy will be separated with an honorable characterization of service, except where their record otherwise warrants a lower characterization."

Meekly complying is what they are really want us to do; firing trans people for using the same toilet we have been harmlessly using for years is going to look *so* *bad*. No Compliance is the only option, but I won't hold it against those whose lives might fall apart if they lose their job.

But the supreme court case was about trans women with GRCs; they have an F on their birth certificate. I suppose it means 'their first birth certificate' - but it doesn't say that as far as i know.
