That’s longer than I give Sir Keir, to be fair…

It’s fairly ridiculous when you consider how few of us there are.

Would be a shame if people left it some reviews that highlight its support of bigotry.

What The Trans?! 🏳️‍⚧️ @whatthetrans.com · 4h

I'm 24 years old. I have a mortgage and own my own home, and I have a full time job.

But under Cass' recommendations Levy, I wouldn't be trusted with hormones if he decides to consider it.

Shows how ridiculous it all is.

These new figures come in the wake of 2024's Cass Review of gender services for children, which recommended the creation of a 'follow-through service' for 17 to 25-year-olds. Cass said this would help "ensure continuity of care and support at a potentially vulnerable stage in a trans person's journey" and "allow clinical and research follow-up data to be collected". This sparked fears that access to healthcare, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) would be restricted or even banned for under-25s -

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.

Tice "green party leader Zack Polanski is a weirdo. Changed his name, claimed hypnosis could increase women's breast size, thinks me should compete in women's sport, thinks women can have a penis. Other than that he's fine. Vote Green. Get weirdo."

I know you do and I enjoyed your pieces! I am just ranting into the social media void to help vent away my ire at the injustice :)

Then there’s the whole neglect if the Gender Directive.

I appreciate I am both biased and not a lawyer, but I think you have to do a lot of, frankly, ignoring of evidence to come to the conclusion it was correctly judged.

They also neglected to apply the HRA when conducting their reading of the legislation; perhaps their HR analysis would not have lead to a different outcome, but it was their legal duty to perform one and they failed to do so.

People surprised that some formerly sensible left-leaning or liberal women are now apparently full of admiration for white supremacists, rapists and genocide might note that their entry point for far right radicalisation was invariably a belief that transphobia is ‘feminist’. Just saying.

The section defining gender reassignment makes no sense with a fixed definition of ‘sex’ in the Act, which kind of nullifies the central premise of the judgment. Or one could just read the explanatory notes / Hansard and see the ruling was not what the Government intended…

Labour not ditching the Free Speech Act is one of the many things I will never forgive them for.

OfS really needs to be shut down. It has become a vehicle for politically-driven anti-intellectualism and culture wars.

Nothing says "we're a lefty party!" like threatening to cut funding and shut down universities for not banning anti-genocide protests.
This is the "free speech watchdog" who fined Sussex university, Brighton, for not being transphobic enough and not stamping out trans people protesting harder.

Universities risk sanctions over Gaza protests, watchdog says

Arif Ahmed says freedom of speech does not mean the freedom to harass and discriminate Jewish students.

New TKDB protest for the 1st Nov

transkids deserve better!!

TRANSPHOBIA

ALL OUT AGAINST !!

All out against transphobia! On Saturday, November 1, TERFS intend to march in London, demanding trans exclusionary, discriminatory legislation, and threatening trans people on our streets.

We cannot let this happen unchallenged- they may have been emboldened by the Supreme Court Ruling, but so have we. Just a few days after ruling, we marched through Westminster to express our rage, be with community, and make it clear that we would continue to fight for trans liberation. That march was only the start.

We need as many people possible out again on the first of November, to show up for collective liberation and show the TERFS that they will never divide us. less

I thought they might be waiting to see what the JR says in November.

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 18h

It’s so scary. It paints trans people’s very being as deceptive and fraudulent. It just makes my skin crawl.

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 21h

The double standard is appalling. Genuinely staggering.

They think it's all a game. They refuse to accept that it doesn't matter what she looks like, she is a woman in every and any picture.

"We'll not accept you whatever you look like, but if we think you're ugly, we'll mock you."

It's a manipulative control over someone's identity.

That's unkind to your average rock!

It's really not a good sign for your judgment if that's the breakdown...

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 23h

I agree they should, but then it becomes effectively isolation for the best part of two years. Which is also horrific.

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you for standing up for us, @zackpolanski.bsky.social.

Some real bile from Morgan.

When it's been a while since I've listened to it, I sometimes forget how good 'Low' is. Bowie's finest in my view.
