Politicians cutting domestic abuse shelter fundings and causing financial crisis where women are unable to leave abusers and end up murdered. Of course they jump on vilifying a scapegoat to act as if trans people are harming women when the harm comes them and austerity politics in Westminster
“That is what makes it so morally bewildering to me that these culture war clowns are supposed to be a bastion of women’s rights. While they try to strip the dignity from a marginalised minority, frontline women’s services are on the verge of collapse.”

Evidence that being "gender critical" has nothing to do with listening to women. Women have made it clear that trans women are welcome in the ladies' pond at Hamstead Heath, and now a small group of transphobes is going to court to override them.
🏊♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.
In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.
Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

When trans+ people are discussed in the media, women’s voices are too often represented by a few who want to exclude. But many of us feel differently.

What is the point of doing this? My child and I sat in a meeting with Wes Streeting, where he was begged by trans children to not ban puberty blockers. He heard the most horrific stories of harm and he didn't even flinch. He gave those children hope and then made the ban permanent.

Trans athletes show how sex is DYNAMIC in both physiological & performance terms.
For example in just 3 months trans women attain F levels of hemoglobin & trans men attain M levels!

it's worth noting that he's the most vocally pro-trans party leader in the UK as well
On the day Zack Polanski announced his leadership campaign, the Green Party had 60,000 members.
They now have 128,000 - an increase of 113%.
He doubled the membership in just 5 months.

Fascist governments are undermining abortion access, trans health care, gay relationships, etc under the guise of “fighting gender ideology.” So, anyone who believes in women’s rights and gay rights should be showing solidarity to oppose their politics, not colluding with it to attack trans people.
