The Labour government can bring section 14 of the Equality Act into force and use the Henry VIII power therein to reverse the Supreme Court’s decision literally within a matter of hours.
But Keir Starmer is a polite bigot who cynically invokes Brianna Ghey’s name while betraying her.

Hey medievalists, question:
So I once, on the bird site, got someone mad at me because I referred to "Anglo Saxon literature" as opposed to "Old English literature." The claim was that these people never called themselves Angles and Saxons, and that the usage was a later Euro-nationalist thing. BUT

Streeting using the same tactics that worked so well against trans kids on a different community 🧵👇
Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today

Streeting orders review into mental health and ADHD diagnosis
The health secretary said the aim was to tackle a rising demand for services and the increased pressure on the NHS.

Speaking as the president of an NGO and as a trans woman: when orgs decide to abandon a group, to sacrifice them, it is not that group’s job to “understand how hard it would have been to fight.”
If trans people hope to survive, it is our job to make that abandonment costly as hell.
Make them hurt.

Not gonna lie lads, it’s fucking bleak over here.
Trans people can’t fight this on their own, cis women need to start leaving and boycotting these organisations that exclude trans women.
I go where my trans partner goes, if she can’t go I don’t go. We all have to do this.

@reactiveashley.bsky.social may correct me, but I believe all it needs is the Minister to sign into law a currently dormant clause in EqA 2010.
The judiciary interprets law: governments make it. The Govt can at any time legislate so that the SCJ no longer applies.

Let’s be clear about who is responsible for trans girls being excluded from the Guides.
Keir Starmer
100%
He could have overturned the injustice of the flawed Supreme Court any time, but CHOSE not to. So he is responsible for these girls being harmed. There’s a word for adults who harm children.

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.

Reactionary centrists are getting everything they wanted out of the UK's Labour party, a purge of trans people from society, a crackdown on immigration, austerity measures on social safety net programs. It's only made Reform more popular and decimated Labour's support.

We must create consequences, as a matter of simple survival.

I disagree. There need to be consequences for cowardice in moments like these if you want to prevent more defections.
