still, I might need one of those signs if it is that effective.

Just ignoring the decades of illegal occupation and outstanding warrants for genocide... but happy to pretend there are tunnels under hospitals to justify the violence.

He tried this since 2020, I don't think it really went anywhere - I am not aware of anyone being discriminated against because of the policy, instead people just don't want to give him money.

You can't be poor either.

You just need to understand the merits they value and are looking for, then it all makes sense.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to look at America right now and think, "we should copy that."

Not sure that's possible if people are relying on courts or their representatives to fix things for them.

Gotta deal with the "enemy within" somehow.

i.e. they fired the black guy for being black.

I'm not looking for her to reach out. I am very clear on things. I'm just highlighting, once again, words v actions.
Too long I would believe words when they were what I wanted to hear.
Actions now.
Only actions.

He's just worried the parallels between what he is and the Nazis are becoming too obvious and will put people off now, rather than draw people in as it's done in the past.

Isn't this also a fishing exercise into fife NHS by the ehrc to gather more information for Cunningham to use in the tribunal outside of the scope of the orders she already has?

Anyone Trump or Elon doesn't like.

The full statement just seems to by Cunningham's argument, making an assumption that trans people don't exist and have no rights or protections.

I think it relates to this statement by the EHRC:

More like pulling in favours.

On the plus side, the NHS seems to be doing the right thing despite all the noise from the peanut gallery which is reassuring.

It might be more interesting to watch - they would be talking about capitalism failures like Thames water which tbh would be valid criticism, rather than racist ramblings we seem to see going on at cpac.

Free speech is a dog whistle at the end of the day. They know is means right-wing nazi views, everyone else is foolish enough to think it means something different.

They are working on the premise that trans people are some form of aberration and shouldn't exist, so should be eradicated.
Still not sure why trans people existing falls within the "progressive" category, but it doesn't leave a lot of wriggle room for compromise.

Dare I ask how much your mastodon server is costing to run?
comment in response to
post
It just sounds like you want people to accept right wing positions which are fundamentally opposed to their values and believe that will somehow move progressive values forward, rather than move the overton window to the right.
It's been tried, it doesn't work.

By that logic you think all women are willing to date man? Buddy...

The annoying part to me is that there doesn't appear to be anyone just pointing out this is the law, it's written clearly in the ehrc guidance, trans people have rights and protections in society.
Instead the current situation is described as "organisational capture by gender ideology".

It would be, but GC's really don't want trans people to have privacy and will attack using every angle they can

I'm not sure you do.
This is probably why the second amendment was put in place

It seems like Fogarty was on one today, full on Palestinian eliminationist in addition to going full anti-trans.
wondering if this be something @stopfundinghate.bsky.social or similar organisation would be interested in?

For a guy who wants the NHS to focus less on pronouns and more on medicine, he can't seem to help himself.

Have you been able to find anything positive that labour have done for trans people?

Those two are describing the same thing.
The only difference is dog whistle politics vs speaking plainly.

You weirdly seem to see transphobia as something different to other homophobic tropes, continually classifying homophobic tropes as worse in some way... and for some reason think this teacher wasn't sharing those as well... when she was.
Stop it.
comment in response to
post
Her truth is that she isn't a bigot, she didn't say anything wrong and she didn't do anything wrong.
The homophobia and transphobia she shared was leaning into a number of tropes about LGBT people which included the sexual violation of children.

I guess I need to find more public spaces to use just on the point of principle.

The ones wearing the red or the blue ties?
I think everyone is making a different choice.

We've still got so many months of this before the tribunal is over. 😬

Has she suggested badges yet?
Maybe some sort of triangle of a particular colour people have to wear out in public, just to make sure they aren't assaulted by the presence of trans people?

Idk, @mrjamesob.bsky.social probably carries more weight within the organisation and probably should be challenging it as well.

Oh, yes, they have bubbled to the surface a couple of times before.
It's also why I avoid her content at all costs...
comment in response to

I guess her listening numbers are down and she's desperate to generate some interaction.
comment in response to

Says a lot about who she chooses to associate with more than anything else.

That's the thing, other parties besides labour and the cons (reform) exist.
If labour viewed reform/cons as an actual threat rather than treating politics as a game, they would introduce proportional representation.
Those two parties are never going to get the majority vote.
comment in response to
post
None of this is about punishing labour, it's about voting for parties that represent you. At the moment labour (Tories or reform) don't represent trans people.
If it is a vote they want, be active, represent people, don't rely on a pity vote for *reasons*.
comment in response to

You could argue (and she did) that she didn't say anything negative about LGBT people and she loves all LGBT people equally ... all she did was "just" reposted a quantity of horrific homophobia and transphobia...
Bigots will say whatever they want, no need to mind your p's and q's around them.

Isn't it a bit of a pointless request? Wouldn't the US policies be illegal in any European country?

Another case of a centrist that refuses to work with the left I guess.
