Glasgow, Scotland based SFFH fan and sometimes conrunner. Less so these days since disabilities have worsened. Happy to eat tofu, not ashamed to be “woke”. Trans rights matter, queer rights matter, if you think otherwise, awa’ an bileyerheid.

This reeks of desperation by a batshit, genitally-obsessed, hateful baroness. Sadly, it also seems like the sort of thing that an also bigoted Minister for let’s say Women and Equalities, would go along with as soon as a pesky failed attempt to raise her status within her party is out of the way…

We've written to @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social to request the government to revoke the 2011 services code and make our updated version statutory. It accurately reflects the law and updated guidance is urgently needed: www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre...

I find myself increasingly looking to the Financial Times for reality checks. This week: no, the benefits system isn't "broken" and welfare costs aren't "spiralling", nor is there an employment crisis: www.ft.com/content/ee67...
No need for a moral panic about the welfare system
It’s far from perfect, but the UK’s spending is broadly controlled and employment is high

Now, autocorrect, I’m sure division wasn’t exactly what I wrote there, was it?

Someday someone might look into what Andrew did to girls when he was in NI.

No evidence, but I've heard stories from reliable people, about girls flown from NI to England and back.

Same playbook as with the boys that were abused through Kincora and beyond.

Suggesting that a certain population is uniquely prone to this pattern is just blunt racism. Come on, this is basic stuff.

If you cut off food and vital supplies to a place, leaving it besieged, then a small part of the population will start resorting to violence and extortion. It's a human nature constant.

A former member of the world’s most sovereign Parliament glorifies the broken constitution of another country. 🤷🏻‍♀️

New Zealand doesn’t have a First Amendment — we have Parliamentary sovereignty and NZBORA. Our Parliament banned conversion therapy because it harms people. If Stephen Franks wants US-style “freedom” to abuse LGBTQIA+ kids, he can move there.

Absolutely, this dude utterly sucks!
Many will know a parent who may be doomed to this desperate state - with no way out. Even if they’ve only permitted or aided their innocent child’s groomers without authorising surgery or drugs, some will be haunted. Can they undo the harm? Could they have prevented it? My firm is trying to help a number of parents who are doing all they can while they can to protect their deluded children. It is an outrage that the Parliamentarians who passed the conversion therapy ban, despite its direct conflict with freedom of speech, are tolerating the prevarication of Minister Doocey over dangerous ‘gender-affirming’ hormone ‘therapy’ for children The US Supreme Court is likely to invalidate conversion therapy bans shortly, as contrary to the First Amendment (freedom of speech).

BMI was never designed to be used on individuals, it's a population measure. The way "healthy" BMI is touted to individuals is borderline abuse.

Labour is telling you VERY LOUDLY who to vote for if you value human rights. And it's definitely NOT LABOUR.

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.
