You know what you're doing. They weren't "just tweets", he was inciting violence, which is a crime. Meanwhile most reputable medical associations recommend puberty blockers as life saving care for trans children. "outrageous harm" okay sister

Part of supporting a political party is scrutinising and putting pressure on them to deliver the best they can. Everyone just elected Labour because they thought "fuck it, it'll do" and now look where they've led us. Trans rights will NOT be left behind.

Why does asking them to stand up for trans rights equal giving up to you?

Trans people are being legislated out of existence and you're telling them to take a back seat as long as you get what YOU want from a supposedly progressive party.

Tony Blair has a complicated legacy. On the one hand, he plunged Britian into decades of war, scarring a generation, destabilising the middle-east and slaughtering countless innocent people. On the other hand, centrist bald men say he was great, actually. It's impossible to say who is correct.

111/NHS direct is a joke. Having to misgender yourself to the people there for no reason is outright humiliating. It's designed to put trans people off reaching out for healthcare support. There were years of surveys that worked on finding respectful ways to gather this information, disregarded.

What's frustrating is that we as a society, doctors included, operate under the assumption that a quick glance at your crotch at birth is an accurate diagnosis for "birth sex". Most people will go through life not even having a clue what their chromosomes are. (among other characteristics)

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

There is not one marginalized, racialized, or oppressed group whose oppression or destruction is an acceptable cost for saving "democracy." Not one. If saving democracy requires leaving marginalized people behind, that's not a democracy worth saving. Either we all get saved or none of us do.

Not only that, but you have a voice and a platform that most trans people do not have, and you have used it to support objectively hateful and transphobic people like JK Rowling and Suzanne Moore. You cannot say you are "pro trans rights" if you stand by people like that.

Gary Duncan (@garyrjduncan.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree, which is why it seems wholly counter productive to make comments about it in interviews when you yourself have stated you know very little about it. Misinformation is what is getting trans people legislated out of existence. Gender affirming care is life saving. Listen to the scientists.
Gary Duncan (@garyrjduncan.bsky.social) reply parent
There are also too many people taking it upon themselves to support transphobia and parrot harmful rhetoric without evidence, like "trans people assaulting women in bathrooms". TERFs are openly aligning themselves with white supremacists and neo-Nazis. The time for wishy washiness is long gone.

It also seems very hypocritical to ask men to shut the fuck up when you yourself have had plenty to say on this issue while seemingly doing no research on the topic.

You need to be a lot clearer than that, because you've gone on record stating that you "don’t believe trans rights should be advanced at the expense of 50 per cent of the population" Which is rhetoric that hate groups like LGB Alliance are peddling.
