You probably read this weekend the government was watering down the workers rights bill. Having looked at the amendments, there’s no weakening of anything, in most cases it’s been toughened up. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

NHS costs are £181bn per year. This is 0.1% of that budget. Trans people are 0.5% of the population. NHS spends £14bn a year on diabetes, that's about 7% of the budget. That's roughly proportionate to the percentage of diagnosed diabetic people in the population. Trans treatments are underfunded.

Elon Musk claims he mistakenly fired Ebola prevention workers, then quickly fixed the error. But Ebola programs are still in tatters, along with other livesaving efforts like AIDS treatments for children.

Rosie Duffield claiming she was "hounded out" of the Labour Party over single sex spaces which is funny because her resignation letter only mentions Starmer's inaction on poverty and antisemitism... but why let that get in the way of the martyrdom of Saint Rosie.

People keep sharing this Sam Fender quote from the Sunday Times and while I think there is something in this – it feels bizarre that, in the midst of what is fundamentally a backlash against feminism + LGBT rights, everyone is so eager to dance around the obvious answer, which is primarily misogyny

And that's number four by my count. The Overton Window has been moving for a while but we might be looking back on Musk's salute as another turning point. And when you refuse to call this out for what it is -- straight-up Nazism -- it helps it metastasize.

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!

Literally had a teacher tell 6th form me in class that I 'should forget about all this gay nonsense and settle down with a nice girl.' This would have been back in 2012. Section 28 may have ended by then, but the teachers who were trained under it were still around.

Really odd to see Substack celebrating Musk for "advancing freedom of speech on X." When we reported that X was secretly and systematically throttling traffic to Substack, the co-founders told us it was an "unreliable" platform with "hostile" policies www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Apparently Wes Streeting thinks the NHS is too focused on women and minorities which will come as a surprise to trans women, those who’ve experienced woeful maternity or menopause care (a fair few of my friends) and anyone aware of the fact that Black women are 3.7x more likely to die in childbirth

How long before other countries follow suit? We're already seeing likely next German Chancellor aligning with far-right AfD to deny people seeking asylum rights. We know anti-trans views are often used by same types of groups to create an "othering effect". It's demonisation of minorities all round

I know doomerism doesn't look good on anyone but it feels increasingly hard not to believe that Trump's second presidency will very fundamentally change the course of history, very much for the worse, there are so many ways in which things could soon go incredibly, world-alteringly wrong
