How will we know whether MAS is simply Kishwer Faulkner Mark II?
This thread suggests a number of ways in which those who wish the EHRC to cease waging war on trans people and return to its vital objectives can judge whether MAS intends to achieve that change. /2

She won't be satisfied till there are no trans people, and no one supporting trans people, anywhere, in any context. This disgusting bigot, who has a well-known history of racism to boot, shouldn't be given anything except her P45.

"Divide and conquer is not a new strategy of war – it is not surprising, but what are we as a collective going to do about it?... Don’t claim to ‘not be surprised’ and return to a sedentary stupor. Think about what you can do."
"Why is it that the media wants to convince the electorate of Reform’s apparent impending outright success? Perhaps when we examine who owns these media and social media outlets, whether it be Rupert Murdoch or the tech billionaires, we begin to understand the motivation."

Not being surprised – inaction is our enemies’ lifeline
A sense of outrage, déjà vu and exasperation at the state of the present – the comment “I’m not surprised” is not relevant, the question should be, what to do?

Bang on. The fact that challenges to YP's transphobic MPs were more or less met with "We haven't voted on supporting trans ppl yet" spoke volumes.
Any "progressive" party that doesn't grasp, by now, that trans, gay, women's & Black civil rights are intrinsically linked isn't worth it

Weirdest bit about this to me isn't that Labour attacks marginalised groups and strips them of rights. That seems to be most of politics these days. It's number of people who if the last government had done half of this would have been raging about it who now defend it because Labour is doing it. 5/

Shows UK MSM is barefaced lying when they claim they're just representing reality.
They're representing lobbyists.
Also gotta wonder abt 3% Reform voters who think Reform would do a bad job & the 7% who think the UK would get worse or stay the same under them. Maybe choose another party dudes.
