We’re supporting @nionwomen.bsky.social, a collective of women refusing to let their identity be weaponised to justify discrimination against trans people.

They’re calling on women everywhere to join them:

Presumably this is their thinly-veiled plan to disrupt their inevitable ECtHR loss.

I feel like an election campaign featuring Badenoch, Streeting and Farage as options might lead to the heat death of the universe.

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 4h

Absolutely, couldn't agree more.

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 5h

Anecdotally, I would suggest the same. We had a workshop on violence/abuse and LGBTQ+ communities at work the other week, and all the attendees essentially said they the last thing they'd consider doing in a situation is talk to the police.

No change for the Lib Dems? Someone needs to get Ed Davey on a waterslide, stat.

Four years to go, no need to aim so low!

Not only are we at record numbers of members and growing every day - this is our highest ever poll rating.

We're just getting started.

This is the politics of the 99% Vs the 1% for a country we can all afford to live in - plenty of room to grow.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.

Aye. I don't know enough to say if that's sufficient or not. They did hear from the Scottish Government and from Amnesty, so that may well be enough. But not my forte, I just rant about things on social media🤷‍♀️

The McCloud one. I am not a legal expert at all, but I think it might be difficult to get the ECtHR to rule the SC didn't give a fair trial. I hope I am wrong.

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 9h

I am not sure that the case being taken on Article 6 is even the successful one that compels the Government to act, I think it's more likely to be another one.

But either way, by then we may not even be in the ECHR.

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 9h

Yep. You don't even have to work hard to see how the SC judgment leaves the UK in a 'neither one sex nor the other' position exactly the same as when it lost last time with Goodwin. But we need some case to make its way through all the lower courts to get to Strasbourg in, what 5-7 years time?

The prison rules are really indefensible under any human rights scrutiny. Sadly, that is lacking in our modern judicial system.

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 9h

There's no real justification for keeping a record of GRC holders / gender history. The niche laws that originally were meant to be excluded from the GRA (like some hereditary rules stuff) really should have been canned decades ago. Now that list is basically a ticking timebomb for trans people.

Oh for an edit function.

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 9h

Aye, it's a horrid position to be in. Having a GRC basically means that nobody knows your trans right now, so whatever the EHRC does, you can largely carry on. But, that could drastically change in the future. It's somewhat scary.

Realistically, that can't happen without us leaving the ECHR and with GDPR changes, but if they can't get Labour to do it, Reform/Tories will happily oblige in their quest to destroy the country.

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 10h

They need to do something, at any rate. My guess is they will push everything into getting sex assigned at birth into Digital ID, so that when that slowly becomes mandatory for more things, it basically becomes very difficult to be trans.

It's where buying your way through the top ranks of politics and the media hits the reality that on the ground, most people are not GC and are not keen on GC fascism.

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 10h

I am purely speculating, but I think they are worried because even with the resurgence of the social conservative wing of the Party, I think there's opposition to the EHRC guidance. They are also extremely worried about the fact that TUC is also against the guidance.

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 10h

It's probably because it's only really a few key frontline figures they have indoctrinated. They want to try to nix the bulk ambivalence or support.
