Completed episode 3 of The Expanse. Ouch. Made some bad choices. Even discovering that Tolkein is still being quoted in the 23rd century couldn't make up for it. 😬

An announcement from Aberdeen Trans Action on yesterday's peaceful toilet protest in Aberdeen. Please share 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

25, 000 people protest for trans rights. Media, nothing. One person uses chalk to write on a statue. Media, front page. Thousands of GCs abuse trans people online every day. Media, nothing. 10 GCs turn up for a protest. Media, front page.

🧵NOT BY ME, this is a post from someone who wants to remain anonymous but works extensively with trans people pre-transition. They were asked by someone “why do you think that’s so much [coverage of trans people] in the news at the moment?” This was their response:

Everyone now and again I will see someone use the phrase "woke mind virus" seriously and I will wonder what it is like to be them, and to have a head full of rancid pudding where a brain is meant to be

Front page of the #BBCNews website (reading from outside the UK) reporting how thousands of Americans took to the streets yesterday to protest against Trump, but no word on the thousands of Brits who took to the streets to protest against transphobia.

Very large protests against the Supreme Court ruling - of the order of 10,000 - in London, Edinburgh, Bristol, Brighton and other British cities; not a mention of it on the BBC news. Telegraph spins it as "trans activists deface statue of Milicent Fawcett" 🙄

Today, thousands gathered across the country - from Hastings to London to Glasgow - to say: we will always stand with trans people. Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

Yeah, this was a more complete translation, with more of the stuff I remember from reading it, ahem, some decades ago. It's fun seeing the scenes and dialogue that made it into the Disney movie.

In the year ending June 2024, UK police recorded 69,184 rapes. (It’s likely this represents c. 1 in 6 of the rapes actually committed.) In 2023/24 there were 2,283 prosecutions for rape, and 1,220 convictions. And c. 11,900 rape cases are currently waiting to go to court, many for more than 2 years.

You people who were pleased about yesterday's Supreme Court ruling - are you prepared to prove you're a 'biological woman' whenever you want to pee or try on a pair of trousers? What sort of 'proof' are you prepared to give? Show the nice guard your fanny? Give blood so they can to a DNA test?

If Samuel L. Jackson logs into his secure email account, does he use MFA? If it doesn't work, would he shout "I AM SICK OF THIS MFA!" 🤔

The BBC illustrated their coverage of the Supreme Court ruling with a photo of the WFS women cracking open the champagne. I wonder exactly what difference those women will notice in their lives today as compared to Monday, as a result of the ruling. I'm guessing zero.

The explanation I always use for the success of anti-trans activism is that it's an easy way for men in power to get plaudits from people calling themselves feminists without doing anything that causes them to have to do any work, spend any money, or change whatsoever

I'm not a lawyer, so i don't know what the real impact of the UK Supreme Court ruling on transgender people will really be. From what I've read about it, it seems confused and contradictory. ...

I take some comfort from the fact that trans people (like all the other LGBT+ people) are part of the natural order of things. The bigots and transphobes might erase all the trans people alive today - more would be born tomorrow.

Went to a transgender social evening in the Hague last night. Affirming.
