Israel has chosen to mark the first days of Ramadan by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza. Still, our government refuses to implement sanctions and defend international law. There is no other way of putting it: this is a resumption of genocide — and our government is complicit.

This thread is about Edinburgh. Which means if you're trying to parse their claim to need £140 MILLION saved, we need to think about covenants and capital expenditure decisions taken by very senior management behind closed doors, for years now. No accountability exists at the top of our sector.

both funny and terrifying to watch institutional execs with no concept of leadership and no trust from those they manage dress themselves in the rhetoric of "bold and decisive" leadership

If only they were some kind of obvious and direct analogy to an event in history committed by an authoritarian regime that later committed atrocities on a mass scale.

The biggest supporters of trans people are lesbian and bisexual women. The media’s framing of trans rights as a threat to women is as disingenuous as it is deplorable. After all, the political attacks against abortion and women’s rights come from the same governments opposing trans existence.

submitted 63 days ago • 6 comments

The public attacks on “gender ideology” have always been part of a coordinated strategy to erase trans people, deny abortion, end marriage equality, limit sex education, etc. There’s no “compromise” with such politics. We will only ensure our freedoms by rejecting authoritarianism, unapologetically.

A particularly important THREAD. The Cass Report was amended to create substantive and significant policy changes with the original publication in April. In essence it has changed to further promote conversion therapy.

Tag yrself, I'm "a transgender medicine academic". Incidentally, it wasn't much of a meeting. I was asked to present evidence for about 15 minutes, with time after for Q&A. I did this. The men on the panel (it was overwhelmingly men) stared blankly at me. One woman smiled. There were no questions.

To be very clear - the Commission on Human Medicine's number one reason for stating puberty blockers are "unsafe" was the speculated impact on "gender and sexuality maturation" and the idea they are making "homosexual in nature" children trans rather than gay. Bigotry wrapped up in nonsense.

“A new study of children living through the war in Gaza has found that 96% of them feel that their death is imminent and almost half want to die as a result of the trauma they have been through.” Unforgivable.

Dreadful gaslighting (typical of every “gender-critical” transphobe) by Cass. The puberty blicker bam is discriminatory against trans kids because it harms them, as my research has shown. The Cass Fraud is a political, not a scientific, document. transwrites.world/hilary-cass-...

A cruel & cis-supremacist UK government will cause insurmountable harm to a generation of Trans youth banned from accessing the global healthcare standard. There will also be those who managed to access healthcare who will carry the burden of survivor's guilt. We must fight against this injustice.

This is actually an outcome that could be effected by trans people/allies organizing now. Look up your local pride committee, join it, bring/make friends and allies, then build support for a statement disinviting Labour when the parade comes around.

Dear Concerned Politician, Please stop projecting your unresolved childhood traumas and anxieties about gender onto young trans people. Trans youth deserve to live without bearing the political burdens of adults who perceive being trans as a problem to stop or cure. Thanks in advance.
