Postal vote arrived the other day. Choices choices. The only thing I can do with this is use it as loo roll. The first time in > 25 years I will not have voted. What a fucking state of affairs

This French website now has Terf Island as one of the worst countries in Europe for trans rights fr.statista.com/infographie/...

Superb thank you

A plea. Please stop calling it interim guidance. It's not guidance, and the EHRC don't call it that. It's an "interim update". They only say that the guidance remains forthcoming. This is genuinely driving me potty (more than I usually am).

The Guardian here whistling and looking the other way from all the rest of the shit that they have published, to stir up our current predicament, these last 2 weeks to several years. FFS

I understood the Supreme Court ruling doesn’t prevent organisations from offering services that are as inclusive as they wish them to be. Hoping the City of London will ensure the Ladies’ Pond continues to be a place that welcomes all women and girls to swim. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I trust no public bodies are going to publish anything about the SC judgment tonight. Would be nice to have just one night’s sleep.

Lordy. They have chucked their principles and Reform will sweep the board at the local elections irrespective. Top work We are entirely disenfranchised.

I seem to remember a poem about this very topic. Seems relevant metro.co.uk/2025/04/23/t...

My £7 monthly @theguardian.com membership fee which I have paid for the last 9 years since the start of the scheme will, from henceforth, be sent to @giresuk.bsky.social

Carry on using the right toilets. And remind your friends and family voting in the local elections next week that this is Labour's policy and Labour extended the term of the bigot running the EHRC.

Me in the gents next week with EHRC looking in through the hole in the wall.

A single issue appears to have reduced UK officialdom to a jibbering mess of logical incoherence and bigoted self-defeating nonsense. Again, I mean.

Labour's new policy - of humiliating trans people by requiring them constantly to self-identify - we believe puts the UK (again) in breach of its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and will seek a declaration of incompatability. goodlaw.social/0r6l

According to the taxpayer funded BBC talking about heat pumps is controversial yet overseeing the injury of presenters promoting macho machines on Top Gear is perfectly ok. Humanity is in real trouble. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Wow! Biggest increase in cycling in the City of London since records began💥 🚲139,000 people cycling a day ⬆️ 50,000 more than 2022 ⬆️Cycling up 70% since 2017 ⬇️Motor traffic down 34% Building cycleways is working! Inspo for @citywestminster.bsky.social next door? 😍 More info: bit.ly/3RzS4FY

Building regs appear to be arranged to force people to out themselves every time they need a pee. The drip drip is leading to this:

Too bad there isn’t a vaccine for morons.

This is a measure of how far to the right Labour has moved under Starmer. Even the Evening Standard is urging people not to vote Labour in the upcoming elections because of its horrific transphobia, racism, xenophobia and ableism. Labour has *become* Reform.

Riding into the station just now a voice from behind me proclaims ‘good morning fellow Bromptoner!’ And whizzes level with me. There follows a brief chat about how ace Brompton cycles are. A light in the bland face of commuting That really put a smile on my face

The UK Supreme Court’s transphobic ruling on the definition of woman last week is a defeat for all women—even, ultimately, the self-described feminists celebrating it, and the women who will gain in the short term from their alliance with the carceral state. my latest for @thenation.com

Oh my lord Christ - just looked up the Sullivan review. This is going to be next.

Here’s the Hansard quote on this: Either the minister is incompetent or is deliberately misunderstanding for political purposes. Neither of those outcomes is reassuring:
