Bears repeating, today and every day: the fascist fears art.
foresightstudio.bsky.social Ben // foresight studio @foresightstudio.bsky.social · Apr 16
Newsletter coming tomorrow morning! Was planning to write about vibes-based GMing but I saw something that pissed me off so I wrote about why art matters instead
The fascist fears art that defies tradition because the brain is a pattern recognition machine, and presenting it with unusual patterns stretches its limits into discomfort, which the mind interprets as danger. The mental and emotional flexibility to adapt to patterns that break our expectations is how we grow, how we broaden our worldview. Diverse perspectives and challenging art make us smarter, better, and less likely to fall prey to the fallacy that hegemony is synonymous with safety.

With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

As ever, Liberal Currents answered the call. Here, I respond to the legal atrocity that is the UK Supreme Court ruling, and argue that the meme of "sex-based rights" smuggles illiberal ideas into the heart of civil rights law, suicide bombing the very idea of equality.

Baroness Smith [email protected]
Dear (— ENTER YOU MP'S NAME -), Request for Parliamentary Action on Legal Protections for Trans People and Clarification of the Equality Act Following Supreme Court Ruling Thave taken the liberty to include others in this email as relating to their individual areas of competence. I am writing as a constituent to express my deep concern about the recent Supreme Court ruling in *For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers* (2025), which held that the legal terms "man" and "woman" in the Equality Act 2010 refer strictly to biological sex, even in cases where an individual holds a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC).' This decision stands in stark contradiction to the original intent behind the Gender Recognition Act 2004. When the legislation was introduced, the government was explicit in stating that a person with a GRC "will be regarded in UK law as being of the acquired gender for all purposes." This assurance was critical in establishing trust in the law and in the UK's commitment to upholding the rights and dignity of transgender people. By disregarding that principle, the ruling undermines established protections and opens the door to increased discrimination and exclusion, particularly in areas like healthcare, employment, and access to public and single-sex services.? It has caused considerable distress and uncertainty within the trans community, who already face disproportionately high levels of marginalisation and abuse." As your constituent, I urge you to: 1. Support a legislative amendment to the Equality Act 2010 that explicitly recognises trans people with a GRC as their acquired gender for all legal purposes as was the intent in the act as is on record from Lord Filkin below dated 19th January 2004. "Lord Tebbit asked Her Majesty's Government: Whether they attribute the same meaning to the word "sex" as to the word "gender". [HL612] Lord Filkin No. It is, however, a fundamental proposition of the Gender Recognition Bill that, following legal recognition in their acquired gender, a transsexual person will be regarded in UK law as being of the acquired gender for all purposes and that in law that acquired gender will be the same as any legal definition of their sex. This means that, following legal recognition, if the acquired gender is the male gender, the person's sex in law becomes that of a man and if the person's acquired gender is the female gender, the person's sex in law becomes that of a woman. Where under any legislation it is necessary to decide the sex of a person who has an acquired gender, or to say whether that person is a man or a woman, or male or female, the question must he answered in accordance with the person's acquired gender." 2. Advocate for clear, protective and legally competent guidance from the EHRC and government bodies to prevent misuse or overreach based on the Supreme Court's interpretation. 3. Also in regard to the EHRC petition the equality's minister to investigate the current board of the EHRC as the trans community have a sincerely held belief that this body has been loaded with people hostile to trans people by your predecessors in government. Abuse of power in public office by people with an agenda against trans people should not be tolerated and any concerns need investigation. 4. Publicly affirm your support for the rights and dignity of trans people, and raise these urgent issues within Parliament. 5. Reassert parliamentary sovereignty over the Supreme Court. I sincerely believe the court overstepped its authority in this judgment by going against intent of the Parliament when passing the GRA as Lord Filkin clearly stated on record to the lords while they were scrutinising the legislation presented from the commons. That it took less than 30 seconds using a search function to find the statement to that effect in the parliamentary record show a failing of the court in two areas. First not doing due diligence in stress testing it's interpretation of the intent by making reference to the parliamentary record and secondly not allowing trans people to intervene in a case directly impacting them. I firmly believe that if they had allowed trans advocates to intervene this intention of parliament would have been submitted as evidence and would have materially changed the outcome come. For this I ask the lord chief justice and the justice minister to reassure the public as to who has the primacy in legislating. I believe the court acted above its authority in making its own interpretation without regard to the recorded intent of the law and in so doing became legislative in action. My belief this would be unconstitutional and unlawful. The UK must remain a nation that protects the rights of all its citizens. Unfortunately as it stands that is not the case with the U.K. falling from being ranked 1st in the annual index of LGBTQ protection and rights to 16th under the previous government. I encourage to prevent it from sliding further down. I hope you will stand in solidarity with the trans community and help ensure that legal equality is upheld in both principle and practice. I would welcome your response outlining your position and any steps you intend to take on this issue. Yours sincerely, A Constituent.
