a) they've been *really* bad on trans rights, unfortunately
b) they are absolutely up in arms over the government's pandering to the right on racism.

For anyone who knows anything about genocides and the incitement of genocidal violence, this is the kind of hair-raising stuff you find in transcripts of testimony before special tribunals.

If the Equality Act had never existed, and someone proposed to pass a law banning women’s organisations from choosing to welcome trans people, we’d think it was a pretty extreme proposal. I don’t think it’s less extreme because it’s come about as a result of a new interpretation of an old law.

Think this is a good example of my theory that "the most risk averse interpretation of regulation" often matters far more than what regulation actually says.
The Women's Institute has been forced into excluding trans women too
"Not doing so would leave us at risk of costly legal challenge and potential regulatory action from the Charity Commission. We have a public duty to ensure our charity is not in breach of the law."

Again: the project is clearly to drive trans women, in particular, out of public life altogether.

I genuinely think this (from: sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2025/08/woke...) is going to be lots of people's unironic take on these years. I do think Woke 2 will be a thing, and I don't think this was inevitable but rather the result of very bad strategic choices being made by the right and centrists.

ngl i did not know the TA/Professor that graded it was trans at all from any of the coverage. explains a lot about why this happened though
every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

“Guy who worked for US-backed death squad goes nuts and shoots up some soldiers” doesn’t actually seem like it needs a particularly baroque explanation
What's more logical?
That the CIA directed one of its assets to perform the perfect false flag?
Or
That a jihadist played the long game by working with the CIA in Afghanistan to gain legal access to the country and then travel 3,000 miles to enact his plan of attacking National Guard soldiers?

Honestly, as much as the policy angers me, I do think it’s the way the BBC have reported it that has especially riled me up. Just no actual balance whatsoever, to the point where I yearn for the flawed version of balance that both sides everything

The ban is set to come in February and any exemptions will have to be signed off by the Home Office.

It's also an example of the underlying problem being the same cruelty that they now think will solve it!
The reason for expensive taxis is that they restricted bus travel to appease the same people!

This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Hearing Rachel Reeves explain why it is so important to lift hundreds of thousands of kids out of poverty is a reminder of what a Labour government can do. It is also a reminder of how little of this sort of thing they have done and how much more needs to be done.
