🍁🍂AN AUTUMN GEM😊🍁

autumn dusk
小言いふ相手のほしや秋の暮
-Kobayashi Issa, 1823.

Half-forgotten for most of the year, Tenju-an (天授庵), like many of Nanzen-ji's small sub-temples, bursts into life during late autumn.

And anyway, in Castro, what makes the issue a close one is whether "a students’ rights had been interfered with under the evidence or if plaintiff’s speech had occurred off-campus".

The retweeting complaints is not crucial to the decision. Being a sustained pattern is not key. The single tweet was.

“parents are merely trying to teach kids that “connection and love do not require you to ignore your own needs.”

No, I think parents are “merely” not forcing their kids to hug other people against their will because that’s really fucking creepy.
Ahh yes, a totally real trend for which we totally have evidence

This research was published 14 months ago. In *Nature*.

Three months BEFORE Wes Streeting announced a "permanent ban" on puberty-blockers.

& yesterday, the Tories insisted you don't even need a clinical trial to keep that ban, forever...

Evidence has now emerged of the adverse consequences of the laws banning GAHT for trans youth in both the US and UK. This includes sharp declines in mental health and increased suicide attempts among transgender young people.

Heads up to followers, but the final high court decision (for now) on marriage equality in Japan is due out this Friday. I'll post when I see the outcome, but will need the weekend to read and summarize the decision. Analysis will be up at @whatthetrans.com hopefully by Monday.

While I’m delighted that Farage is under the cosh over his history of racism, I can’t help asking - why now? Why is this suddenly gaining traction now when it has absolutely not been a secret for well over a decade?
Farage’s antisemitism has been on display for years too.

The thing about antisemitism is that all too often it only seems to matter when it’s people not in your own ranks.

I have been reminded about Michael Gove and Sarah Vine's book shelves. Who got the far right books in the divorce, I wonder?

Interesting how Michael Gove and Sarah Vine had books by fascists, Holocaust deniers, race "scientists", and white supremacists, but none on anti-fascism, Holocaust studies, anti-racism, or how race "science"/eugenics is bad. The absence of balance is what is telling.

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. It’s a day to raise awareness around all forms of violence against women and girls and to call for an end to gender-based violence.

A little reminder yet again that the proportion of people who are trans in any given population is very similar to the proportion of Jews in Germany in 1933.

Someone at the BBC took the time to edit this article in order to enforce the current anti-trans state ideology.
The evolution of the BBC article on Graham Linehan's conviction and how it describes the trans victim of this crime is beyond atrocious. They actively went out of their way to dehumanize the victim here. They removed all pronouns for her and gendered honorifics such as "Ms."

I often get frustrated with people who insist that someone who supports the modern far right "was always like that".

Some people do change. Some people do radicalise.

But just to show I'm not being doctrinal about this:

Yes, Bill Maher has always been a creep.

So the BBC is no longer concerned with facts? First American and now global media tremble at the bellowing of a demented old rapist. Truly sad.

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

FACT~ Since 2003 and 11 Olympic Games, there have been more @Glinner ‘s who have been found guilty of criminal damage than there have been trans women Olympians in the UK.
@Glinner has been found guilty of criminal damage.

@Glinner damaged a 17-year-old trans teenage girl’s phone during an angry confrontation.

His wife was not present for the sentencing as she had divorced him.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

It is genuinely insane to see a judge describe Graham Linehan as a “generally credible witness” in a trial where he claimed Sophia Brooks has been engaged in “trans activism” since 2013 (when she would’ve been 6 years old), then, when challenged, claimed her drivers license lied about her age.

This is what “anti-elitism” is.

It’s the high-flying cocktail party circuit’s resentment at professionally serious politicians pushing them out of power.
So now Weiss becomes clearer. She is interested in promoting the people who attend the same cocktail parties as her. The elite.
