I got offered a LOT of money to host an official HP podcast and turned it down immediately. I’m assuming since I am not a podcaster that they have an extremely long list of people who have also said no to this. Dunno what‘s going on with the actors but the comics are holding the line lol
Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

Been going back and forth in my mind about it since I saw the news last night and have concluded that, yes, I do expect organisations to stand up and fight transmisogynistic legal challenges - even if it means that organisation ceases to exist.

Trans children denied participation in society because of the Supreme Court and EHRC. To attack us adults is one thing but to attack children is another. The UK needs to lose its GANHRI A accreditation.

This is being required of trans teens in the UK in order to start puberty blockers. There is a limited time period in which PBs are even useful.
Are there ANY medical treatments that require this many pre-requisites? This is designed to exhaust patients so that they age out of the system.

The “Pathways” trial is, IMO on more than one level, a thoroughly unethical piece of “research” to be carrying out on children, especially children who are part of a marginalised minority.

Alberta just introduced Bill 9, which exists for one and only one purpose: deleting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as it pertains to trans kids, denying them the right to life and stripping their healthcare away.
This is cruel, anti-democratic and anti-constitutional.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Let's be clear: this is the result of deliberate political choices to make accessing trans healthcare substantially impossible. It's what Streeting and his ilk want.
In Glasgow, there is a 224-year waiting list for gender clinic appointments.
224 YEARS.
This is institutionalised discrimination. It's unacceptable, it's ruining people's lives and it needs to change.
We have the solution. Time for politicians to act.

This comment nails it. Frankly it’s none of anyone’s business who else is in a public lavatory, even if they consider someone is in the “wrong” one. If you’re upset by the mere presence of somebody else for reasons of your own beliefs, that’s your problem.
genuinely insane we are at point "a person was afraid of someone who caused NO harm, so latter person needs to be segregated" rather than genuinely if YOU are so terrified of others on this level YOU are A PHOBE of some stripe and it is YOU who needs to leave. it IS bigots who need a third space imo
