This is a good thread and it’s amazing to see @translegalproject.bsky.social posting. Sadly though, the conclusion is not only one I have heard from several others, I regretfully concur with it:

1/15 Peggie v Fife and Upton. The law @robinmoirawhite.bsky.social @natacha.bsky.social a.bsky.social @katymontgomerie.com tgomerie.com @ameresolicitor.bsky.social licitor.bsky.social @jessothomson.co.uk mson.co.uk @sandraduffy.bsky.social y.bsky.social @alexsharpe.bsky.social THREAD ⬇️

“What have I done wrong? I’ve advocated for people who have been harmed, and now I’ve been harmed in the process” Women at a top London university face disciplinary action after criticising the university for keeping a predatory professor in post: goodlaw.social/hcu5

“Liberal” newspapers espousing pro-fascist conspiracy theories about migrants or trans people have been given significant exposure and “reach” by those using their venality. Them expecting the same from their half arsed anti-Trump critiques now they’ve helped him into power just shows naivety.

Oh look I was right order-order.com/2023/11/24/a...

Is the EHRC setting itself up for an adverse judgment from the Supreme Court? I can guarantee no judge would be pleased reading that statement.

Absolutely this:

The media acting like Musk invented the Nazi salute and everyone else is just copying him is the weirdest form of Holocaust denial

The Daily Mail protecting women again. Rubiales was found guilty of sexual assault. Not kissing.

When a transphobes says "man" you can tell whether they mean "trans woman" or "cis man" by whether they're characterising said man as evil, predatory and dangerous (trans woman) or as good, safe and unfairly maligned (cis man).

I’m usually a big fan of context but this works just as well without:

Folks, news for trans people has been awful for ages but we need to focus on the good where it happens. To that end, can you drop links below to positive trans stories you've seen recently? Let's gather those up for people!

Has anyone told @stonewalluk.bsky.social?

No one — ESPECIALLY not Donald Trump — can erase us from history. www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...

Since putting up this crowdfunding page, the Daily Mail has sent us, through their lawyers (RPC), two defamation threats. A few points about them. 🧵 goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

You know how I said that the Forstater decision protects *not* being a raging transphobe? Yes 👏 It 👏 Does 👏

She stood up when a grant was given to the LGB Alliance, GC colleagues complained about her, she was dismissed, then she won her case for unfair dismissal.

While trans inclusive politicians? Also spend their time fighting for women’s rights and safe access to reproductive healthcare:

ICYMI: The BAAS / US Embassy Small Grants Programme has been cancelled. Details/statement:

For those keeping score, Trump has now adopted GC transphobia wholeheartedly and ended up immediately: • Firing women just for being women • Erasing the word “woman” • Denying objective reality Yet again? Those accusations are just admissions in disguise.

No. I've had enough. This is an utterly inappropriate attempt to intervene in an ongoing Employment Tribunal in and of itself, never mind the fact it's repulsive, misleading, cheap, dogwhistle bollocks. The leader of Scottish Labour is not fit for public office. This is disgusting.

Genuinely impossible to read replies to anything political on here now. Back on Twitter is was the Nazis, here it's doomers, people claiming whatever is happening is a distraction from their pet issue, and people who think slightly mean nicknames are praxis.

He'll get some crap from the pathetic hate mob, but thank you to the SNP and Greens for continuing to stand up against the derangement. news.stv.tv/politics/i-d...

The 'protecting kids' lot sure do want to do a lot of medical trials on kids.

Transphobia loses votes. Have been asked to tag @ameresolicitor.bsky.social

My DMs have glitched.

I would really love to have a charitable explanation for the way this New York Times headline has changed.

The Gender Recognition Reform Bill would bring Scotland in line with global best practice It was extensively consulted on, evidence was heard from across society, and it passed overwhelmingly But for Scottish Labour your human rights will never be as important as a good headline in the Daily mail

The only possible conclusion after voting with the Tories in favour of the harassment of trans people in their work places is that the Scottish Labour Party is institutionally hostile to the LGBTQ+ community. Let not a single MSP from their number dare attend pride this year. They are what we fight

Labour must think you're stupid because their argument assumes the equality act is about sex assigned at birth and the GRR bill changed this. This simply isn't true. The GRR bill was about documentation not access to space and got blocked by Westminster so we never felt it's effects as a country.

The headline? Labour Support Imploding under Sanwar His response? The pathetic transphobia on show today. It’s happened so many times that it’s beyond a joke. Transphobia is the refuge of the incompetent:

any politician or party who is willing to discard trans ppl for power will do the same to cis women – and that day is coming.
