What would it take to appease (transphobic) campaigners Sex Matters?
“CEO of Sex Matters, Maya Forstater, went as far as to suggest that trans pupils should be forcibly outed…arguing that efforts to respect a trans child’s identity and protect their privacy would not be in their “best interests”” 😖

In April 2025, Sex Matters – the UK’s most prominent gender-critical campaign group – declared a win, but the fight seems far from over

There was never a thing called "woke" it was a saying we had in the hood, white ppl stole it, and the rw decided it was some sinister plan.
"The other iron law of reactionary centrism – beyond the asymmetry that is hiding behind the seeming evenhandedness – is that only the left and liberals really have agency."

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.
"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

Every so often at work someone who's me what we should do for this poor that trans awareness week and increasingly my answer is fuck your awareness stop making trans rights about cis people having a little event
Yeah no i really think you kinda made a fool of yourself if you have a nice chat with Keir Starmer about a bloody awareness week
Just think if we’re giving labour mps credit for gestures like signing support for trans history week it just reduces pressure on them to Actually do anything. They ought to be confronted by their hypocrisy and to defy it will take a fuck of a lot more than wishing for our “dignity and respect“

It's a real full-circle moment because rhetoric that was refined in anti-trans propaganda is now being turned around to argue against gay marriage.
Note the renewed focus on children and the deployment of "biological parents" as a more-naturalized, more 'legitimate' category.

It really hurts because of the stories from Brianna's online friends when she was murdered about how Brianna had built a community of support for other trans girls & helped them feel less alone. This included advice on how to get the resources for transition that Labour wants to deny teens like her.

I dream of a future movie where it's a bunch of trans friends meeting in a streetside cafe on a bright, sunny morning, smiling, laughing, celebrating, and recounting how they survived the horrors past, and by the horrors past, they are describing today.

A reality hard to convey to those outside communities on the front lines. So many of us wanted to just be ourselves, but the realities of poverty, oppression and injustice are vast and brutal.
So trans people organize and fight. We have to. We're radical because we can't turn away from the truth.

but i heard people voicing warning signs back in 2017, and it got to me.
i dont organize bcz i wanna be a hero. i organize because i want to stay alive

Esther believes her daughter was only trans because of the Internet and wishes to isolate trans youth so they desist. That is what her whole campaign has been about.
Can we just ban Esther Ghey from national media, please? That will unironically do more to keep under-16s safe.
