The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention has issued a Red Flag Alert on Anti-trans and intersex Rights in the UK. “We see evidence of genocidal intent and actions targeting these communities.” www.lemkininstitute.com/_files/ugd/b...
“Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention Red Flag Alert on Anti-trans and intersex Rights in the UK Released on 30th of June 2025 The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security would like to bring attention to and condemn recent judicial and governmental developments in the United Kingdom, which attempt to harm transgender and intersex people in the UK by stripping them of privacy and segregating them as 'others.' The Lemkin Institute believes these moves are part of a broader process of erasure. It is not only government action but also the media narrative that has fuelled hostility to and debate about the humanity of trans and intersex people while ignoring their voices. We see evidence of genocidal intent and actions targeting these communities. In April this year, the United Kingdom's Supreme Court (UKSC) delivered a judgment declaring that, for the purposes of the Equality Act (2010), "sex" refers to "biological sex," which it did not define clearly. The Equality Act (2010) provides protection against discrimination on a variety of grounds in public spaces. This ruling at the UK's highest court means that individuals are now protected from discrimination on the basis of their assigned at birth sex, regardless of how that corresponds to their gender identity, lived gender, or sex characteristics. The decision is the result of a court challenge brought by the gender critical group For Women Scotland, which is financially backed by author J.K. Rowling and characterises itself as "feminist."! The UKSC decision creates dual legal categories for people who have gender recognition certificates, making them one sex for the purpose of the Equality Act (2010) and another for all other legal purposes, stripping people with Gender Recognition Certificates (GRCs) of crucial protections and privacy. Despite the UKSC's assurances in their reasoning that the decision in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers would not be disadvantageous to trans indi…

»Die Freiheitsversprechen der Rechten treten in einer Situation auf, die von einem halben Jahrhundert Neoliberalismus geprägt ist. So kommt es zu eigenartigen Verbindungen aus rechter Politik und Hyperindividualismus«, sagt der Gesellschaftstheoretiker Alberto Toscano im Gespräch mit Jacobin.
Leben wir in Zeiten des Spätfaschismus?
Der Faschismus kehrt nicht zurück, er mutiert – so die Kernthese des neuen Buches von Alberto Toscano. Warum historische Analogien oft in die Irre führen und wie er die Rechte von heute einordnet, erklärt er im Gespräch.

The UK supreme court has gutted the legal recognition of trans people. They also recognized the concept of sex based rights which is just absurd. There's no such thing as sex based rights. There is the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of sex.
