Actually I'd argue given Britain's history as an increasingly secular country which nevertheless was readily infected with complementarían philosophy as a result of TERFs filing the serial numbers off of evangelical & Catholic moral panic, it's good to care about the specific philosophical moves.
Not saying that people have to become familiar with theological shit going on within church stuff, but at least recognise that there's a risk of lumping in victims with abusers when people scapegoat faith in the abstract rather than conservatism, integralism, complementarianism, clericalism, etc.

so we need an exhibit interesting enough that the british museum is prepared to give back the elgin marbles AND we need a new method of dealing with unruly children AND we need a productive outlet for teachers with the magic power to trap people in paintings

New research maps the campaign to erase trans people from UK data 🔢

The way shows like Adolescence and attacks on girls and trans kids are being used to isolate marginalized people and justify expanding state & corporate control of the internet needs more scrutiny. The answer isn’t bans but dismantling the systems that profit from stoking fear, anger & division.
Brianna Ghey was targeted by classmates who knew her offline. Online, she made friends and a community, and was making content to help other trans kids like her.
This is a grieving mother pushing for legislation that would have further isolated her trans child, that is supported by transphobes.
