I need a new pinned tweet. I mean, this is still evergreen, but since I mostly get attention for politics tweets, I need to signal to new followers that 90% of my tweets are about whatever game series I'm hyper-focusing on at the moment

I do not think Linehan's views have actually been well-publicised, in part because they are by this point largely spittle-flecked abuse and demonisation of trans people as a group, which is inconvenient to anyone who wants to portray him as a martyr with "strong views"

Okay, so, like, I'm not meaning this in a scolding way, because I do appreciate people talking about how nasty the culture has got towards trans people, but it is kinda funny to see a conversation about that on the timeline pivot towards the impact of less church attendance on society

Can't help feel that these people obviously do on one level accept that trans women are women because only women get so blatantly disbelieved about our own feelings and experiences.
I don’t know enough about the situation with Lineham to opine on whether the judgement is valid or not, but everything about this paragraph in the BBC article makes me despair at how many institutions have been captured by the GC movement

Whenever a story about the UK being shitty to live in for trans people starts getting a lot of attention, there's an additional pain that it starts a timer until some American inevitably makes a joke about how they need to invade us and set us right

Forseeing a time when the judiciary is infested by the same "Rishi Sunak isn't even English" radicalisation that's taken the right, and some people are blindsided because they thought "this trans girl said she was alarmed and distressed, but I don't believe her" was impartial application of the law
To tie back to my comparison to other online radicalisation, even if you don't give a shit about trans people, the judiciary becoming increasingly partial on a specific issue should be seen as the canary in the coal mine giving the current direction of travel in this country
Like it was obvious when the Supreme Court randomly decided to rewrite the Equality Act, but I think there's a large amount if journalistic negligence that no one really treats judges as anything other than neutral conduits through which the word of law moves

Frankly, it’s mostly the silence of the majority that has allowed the situation to progress as far as it has.

Besides, the kind of allies that aren’t helpful are not the kind who will even question whether it is or isn’t their place to speak on something for pretty obvious reasons.

"Hell, let's not even bother with the next general election and declare me... I mean Wes to be the eternal Prime Minister"
"My allies are saying that I would so obviously win a leadership contest that it would be unfair to the other contestants to even hold one. We should save everyone a lot of bother and skip it, say my allies. It would be boring to watch such a one-sided contest, I -- uh, my allies - insist."

It’s also cowardly at this point, I’m sorry to be harsh but it is.

The kind of cruelty and bigotry on display goes far beyond “I’m just a cis straight man, it’s all to complicated for me 🥺”.

They need to get a grip and get off of the fence tbqh

The judiciary doesn’t usually depart drastically from precedent and the status quo, twist the wording of legislation so that it quite clearly goes against the intention of its drafters, or open the floodgates to litigation, but they make an exception to rule against trans people

yes I don't really see how you can go "oh yikes these people have changed their political views incredibly quickly, mostly because of what Very Online people talk about on social media" and also think that people who went from never talking about gender to calling trans women predators are....normal
I don’t like subtweeting people I consider online friends, but there is a subset of people who are very worried about the ongoing radicalisation of our political elite but won’t ever acknowledge the echoes with the radicalisation of their colleagues on trans rights
And few who are sympathetic to us, some who are friendly with me on here, will ever stick their head above the parapet

I won’t name names because I don’t presume to know what people think in private but if you’re still considering the likes of Helen Lewis and Sonia Sodha respected colleagues instead of obviously radicalised and obsessed loons give your head a wobble.

I'm going to repeat my request that any of my current or former colleagues in the UK think about being more outspoken about this.

The judiciary seems to have been captured by GCs more than most. An underdiscussed aspect of these anti-trans rulings in recent years is that they are utterly antithetical to how the judiciary has traditionally approached issues (and how it approaches all other issues)

I actually think it's bad that the law thinks that calling a 17 year old a "sissy porn-watching scumbag", a "groomer" and a "disgusting incel" in public is not a crime, and indeed I do not think criticising this would constitute "[picking] sides in the debate about sex and gender identity".
