In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.
He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

‘Motivation?’
‘Yes. Er, I got to know, see,’ said Rock.
‘How about: I’ll fire you if you don’t do it properly?’
Rock grinned. ‘Right you are, Mr. Dibbler,’ he said."

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

The very important point that, to make their “case”, transphobes have to lie about what the Supreme Court actually said, and do lie about it, every day, and the government and media colludes in their lying.
Ridiculous, both from the EHRC and the guardian reporting.

The Supreme Court did not rule that "the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex"
The judgement itself makes this clear:
