Human Geography at Leicester is facing closure. Staff contracts are to end in June 2026; students are to be relocated to other universities, or taught out by a maximum of two (!) teaching-only staff. Other departments and subjects are facing closure, too. Please join the demo!

Did I miss a meeting where all the people who spent the first year of this murderous slaughter screaming at us to shut up about genocide got together, and decided “everyone” had been silent for too long

This - by an EHRC Commissioner - is a *defence* of the impact of the Supreme Court judgement.
The impact is obviously, and quite deliberately, to exclude trans people from public spaces, and to claim that it's fine, legally, politically and morally. Absolutely shameful.

Katy is right about this, as usual, and further, what this ruling does it basically make it unsafe to be a non-feminine woman, or one who doesn't meet the beauty standard generally, in public. It's a movement to push women back into the domestic sphere.

leaving the cruelty aside for just a minute it's absolutely humiliating to imagine being my age or older and getting excited because you think you've been given permission to say a bad word. what are you gonna do next, ride your tricycle past the end of the block
I guess I'm too woke because I find the proliferation of this really off-putting and gross. The fact that it's now reached the "enlightened centrists" class is depressing.
