and im not living in the woods
well good luck figuring that out
the law should and does in theory, that it doesn't in practice says more about those who's job it is to enforce it that those who it should protect. still waiting for your solution
or maybe propose a solution rather than making vague allusions
well go live in the woods then, what does that even mean. rip up any law that protects minorities from discrimination and go live in the woods because society is not for you. how do you get this so twisted
so do nothing about anything? yeah not a solution at all
they should by their letter, what you should be mad about is that they don't, not that people expect them to. what's your solution?
what's the point in even having laws then lol, let's just not enforce them because it gives ammunition to bigots. the 'fucking stupid' thing here is not those who would report, think bigger
the tweet was a direct incitement to violence, he wasn’t just being a bit mean. what are you meant to do? in a sane world ppl would acknowledge that he committed a crime (that even the usa would likely convict). the framing of this from government is shocking and exposes them more than anything
more empty platitudes. how long until they walk back policy goals on hate crime given ministers statements today in favour of legalising stochastic terrorism against the trans community?
they want to legislate for stochastic terrorism against trans people
quite a day for graham, acknowledged by the two most powerful transphobes in the country after years of hateful obscurity. maybe his head will get so big that it finally collapses into his weasel neck
the innocent sounding 'gender-critical' post in question was a direct incitement to violence against a minority group protected in legislation. not a serious crime apparently. go figure, keith
yes it's obviously a petty slogan lol, he spent the year so far saying nothing on this issue and feel like he only made these platitudes now because of the pressure people have been applying. so gonna keep that up until we see what policies they come out with thanks
say trans rights
while they probably view that as a fortunate side effect, I think cooper is coming more so from an anti-migrant perspective. article 8 is often used to prevent the govt from breaking up families and the want to kneecap it to create a more hostile environment
this cannot be the condition by which we're allowed to live our lives, especially given how fucked up the current process is. how can you show you've been living as the opposite gender to obtain a GRC if use of public facilities is contingent on already having one??
while it's great that she's bringing the case, the focus on diagnosis and having a GRC in this article feels icky to me. she even states that only ~8.5k have a GRC which based on estimates would be ~2% of the trans population
Hearing reports Keir Starmer has banned Stardew Valley until they introduce a patch where you *have* to side with JojaMart.
nobody is saying they know what is going to happen, they're just asking that jc et al acknowledge trans rights as a concern as they have done with many other topics such as gaza, climate, poverty, inequality, etc. as for 'WHY?' there is concern i imagine it's because they care about trans ppl?
they have lots of other stances/policies made clear already tho. given the dire situation atm it's a very notable absence from their platform
i like to think in his heart he does, he has been somewhat supportive in the past? hoping it's just an attempt at playing politics to avoid 'divisive' issues and garner support before their conference. maybe wishful thinking, it's a very awkward silence.
say trans rights jez u know u want to
Like their conception of trans woman is either a drag queen or a butch lesbian and I definitely know trans women who are drag queens and/or butch lesbians but if I had to pick the most common character design its probably "art teacher"
"The beauty industry has become too ugly to leave unregulated. It’s time for a serious makeover, and we will waste no time in delivering it." what on earth is this goofy nonsense, health sec thinks he's a stand-up comic? totally inappropriate
tell me about it, tiny aloe plant on the counter at the cafe near my house
more like 'you never had any rights to begin with'
nightmare blunt rotation
oh I realise I misread your whole initial post lol, nvm i'm tired
yeah fair, I guess you meant SEGM and CAN-SG. they make WPATH look like luxury space communists by comparison
what's wrong with the WPATH symposium?
yeah no she’s fully just saying racial slurs at her own employment tribunal
at least if the bot writes bullshit it's because of a flawed statistical model, not wanton cruelty
afaik the Irish GRC only modifies an Irish birth certificate, or an Irish passport if you're normally resident in the republic

christ how miserable, this place is fubar
what the fuck???
yeah probably. though if she does go against the committee's recommendation at least we can say they were warned 🤷♀️
she hasn't been confirmed yet. the WEC have to write to Philipson with their recommendation, but I think the ultimate decision is with her. they didn't seem too friendly when they questioned her so if they recommend against and BP appoints her anyway it would not be a good look (not that they care)
his grifter daughter took him there during covid lockdowns so she could go clubbing with her bf, then infected him which nearly killed him
This is insane
same play was used against jeremy corbyn in the uk

the flag is wrong as well lol
are you able to publish it?
she literally did big exaggerated air quotes around "pass" when talking about indirect discrimination on the grounds of sex earlier so yeah, probably
that unworkability makes them totally self defeating. since basically nobody can enforce a single-sex property of a space reliably without incurring huge cost and legal liability, spaces which were single-sex before FWS have mostly become implicitly mixed-sex!
if you want to hear this bullshit in context it's at ~16:17 here: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/... she claims to be in the company of the supreme court with her belief around article 8. as far as I can tell the FWS judgement didn't consider it at all? does the court corroborate her view elsewhere?
Falkner (Equality and Human Rights Commission) doesn't believe that human rights apply to trans people in particular. Subtext: trans people are less than human
gross
we didn't lose rights since we never had them in the first place is the argument, the same one reindorf made the other day. 'we have always been at war with eastasia'
wow, great visualisation. what's the source on this? is it public?
yup the laughter was very telling. also mad how the GC speakers seemed to know most of the people asking questions by the first name. terf circlejerk = terflejerk?
choice quote from Reindorf (KC, EHRC commissioner) at ~1hr 50: "Look at Sex Matters' website is usually what I say to people when I don't know the answer" (big laughs from audience)🙃🙃🙃
wow watching this now and it's so much worse than the article captured. when Reindorf starts speaking she says 'trans woman' then catches herself, realises her company, and uses the term 'trans identifying male/man' for the rest of her speech! simply appalling behaviour from someone in her position

forget pride, this year we doing WRATH
know a few people personally, self included, who describe it the exact same way. this needs to be studied!
me: grillin' chips
that's good... I guess? minister went on to commit to implementing the sullivan review recommendations, plus 'no intention' are pretty weak words coming from that bunch of lying dickheads. like they might oops! accidentally pass similar legislation in future
iconic
This bit just flat out admits that sex characteristics *can be changed enough that you might be perceived as a member of the "opposite" sex*, but instead of acknowledging how this affects trans people's social reality (and how denial of this renders us vulnerable), it's "cis people find you icky".
terrified honestly 😶
just go ahead and drop the T at this point since you're insistent on providing cover for the most functionally transphobic government in decades. hiding replies of trans people who question your motives is disgusting, but totally consistent with your party's policy to ignore and gaslight us.
gaslighting is the correct word for it, I can't believe MPs are ignorant as to who is behind this report and what their goals are. response from labour is gross too. it feels horrible knowing there is really no one of influence in politics who will represent our interests any more
