I’m sorry, but Sex Matters is an extremist hate group.

Here is Maya Forstater complaining that the updated Scottish schools guidance that bans all trans pupils from gender-aligned toilets is STILL not good enough, because it doesn’t mandate “outing” trans kids.

www.scotsman.com/news/politic...
Calling the guidance “muddled and ideological” Ms Forstater expressed concerns that the document asks teachers “to make decisions which are far outside of the competency of teachers”.

The policy states clearly that the government accepts the Supreme Court judgement in the For Women Scotland case.

She added: “But it somehow still suggests that a pupil might be able to go through their school career pretending to be the opposite sex without ever being ‘outed’ – that is, recognised as the sex they actually are.

“The guidance offers the bizarre suggestion that this pretence might be maintained by the child using facilities outside normal breaktimes.

“This is neither practical nor in the child’s best interests, since it will only worsen the child’s dissociation from the unchangeable physical reality of their sex.”

To those asking, the NHS has misused gender care waiting lists to target families with social services referrals - and even police action - for doing something lawful, and in much of the world entirely orthodox, out of love for their child. It's ideologically driven targeting by the State and evil.

"Labour endangering Trans youth by failing to condemn scaremongering over puberty blockers."

"Bridget Phillipson endangering all women by failing to condemn Supreme court interpretation of Equality Act"

- Look in the mirror.

Nextar has now also folded and will start airing Kimmel again.

Remember this next time they tell you we are powerless in the face of rising fascism.

Companies capitulating to Trump need to feel heat.

Keep it going.

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans Pride Surrey

With the company of @chilterntravels.uk and Trans Pride Surrey, we marched through the streets of Epsom, including a pit stop at the suffragette statue.

A very solid turnout for a town of this size, and a good selection of items in the maker's market.

The Brit Card: Nobody asked for it, it wasn’t in the election manifesto, it’s unclear why anyone would want one and the malicious uses for it are obvious, and loads of people hate the idea, but you know what? *Fuck you*, that’s what. We’re in charge. Fuck. You.

Please launch this in Scotland in a blaze of patriotic red, blue and white imagery, making it very clear everyone must have one, or they will get fucked. Put photos of the King on it, maybe Captain Tom as well. Boris Johnson, if he will fit. Thank you

The "Brit Card".
. Could they make it any
more dogwhistly?
Also, fundamentally ignores that undocumented workers already, drum roll please, lack documents. Adding another one makes little difference, but does make it harder for people to escape exploitation.

Even back in the 70s and 80s when I could be hassled by the police for walking while trans, no one ever tried to stop me pissing in the Ladies or tried to make me change into my swimsuit among men.

There is no dignity or respect involved in taking away rights I have exercised freely for forty years

They've been told that racism is wrong but they've also been told that the views they hold are right. So if the views they hold are right then they can't be racist because that is wrong
martinwarne.net
This, from The Londoner yesterday, also features people on the march who claim not to be racists. Though the things they say prove otherwise

This.

In 2018 I tried to explain to some friends and colleagues that mumsnet's feminism forum had been colonised and was now radicalising people. The response was "lol the mums?" basically. I was made to feel like I was being histrionic

Some cis people really get it. Others - who likely see 1/2

It’s not just the disgusting misinformation the UK mainstream media spew about trans people, it’s also about what they DON’T talk about!

100K people attend London Trans Pride and it’s *crickets*

100K people attend a Tommy Robinson hate rally and it’s all over the front pages! 😖

It’s blatant bias!
goodlawproject.org
The grim salivating of our press at the prospect of spreading more hate about trans people. Has there been an uglier moment in Britain's modern history?

I’m sure there’ll be corrections in equally prominent positions in each of these papers, yeah?

A rally organised by Tommy Robinson should be a slam dunk for a Labour government.

Most people will recognise it as being led by the far right (and will not identify themselves as such). Violence is predictable too.

The PMs and ministers should have been ready to respond immediately.
