Hi I'm Trish and I thought I'd better post so I look somewhat like a human. I didn't say much on the bird site as most of what I wanted to say was said more effectively and succinctly by people way cooler or fiercer than me. So I shared their stuff, mainly, and probably will do so again here (1/6)

We now believe we can arguably plead the ‘CPS Code for Prosecutors’ makes decisions not to charge predictably more likely, significantly so, in communications offences directed at trans people, *even where* the legal thresholds are met!

Update from the CPS’ Appeals and Revue Unit’s re. the appeal of the decision not to charge Linehan for inciting violence.
The CPS, Police & Judiciary have, undeniably, blocked justice for our community for years now. It’s taking a long time to complete, so we hope we finally see a sign of change.

Just seen another pride and corporations article by the guardian. An awful lot of heterosexual transphobes speaking for gay people and claiming they represent us by declaring we don’t want trans people in the community. I don’t recall being asked because I’d tell them trans people are the community

the biggest lie the british press tell about trans ppl isn't actually about trans ppl.
it's their claim that 'gender critical' is a grass roots movement.
it's a ruling class bigotry sparked and spurred on by the american religious right. it's a media and political class bigotry.

It’s interesting how often TERFs claim they don’t give consent to trans women using a toilet. They don’t require consent from others to enter. It’s a public facility. I don’t have to give consent to anyone entering the gents toilets when I am already in there or ask for it to enter.

Meta have clearly added 'ECHR' to their toxic recommender algorithm. The phrase 'ECHR' is acting as a magnet for bots in Meta's negative engagement-based model.
Make of that what you will. But online safety should be about upholding democracy using algorithm opt-ins, transparency & sanctions.

Nick Robinson saying "safe spaces for women," affirms the anti trans talking point of trans people being a danger to women. I'll review the recording to see if he put any quotes, but repeating it rewires the mind of the public, which is what the continuation of the "debate" is about. #r4today

The limited evidence consists of the Cass Report and nothing else. And in the UK this “possible unknown harm”, despite statutory wording and EU law that point in the opposite direction, was used to justify the emergency ban.

I've had some, limited, experience with employment tribunal judgments and judges working under considerable time pressure to write lengthy and detailed judgments often make clumsy errors of spelling, transcription and so on. That's axiomatically more likely true in the case of 300+ page judgments.

Parliament explicitly protected the rights of trans people; but the notion the rights of transphobes are protected is judge made law. And I think its wrong. We will certainly look for an opportunity to take eg the point that racists don't enjoy the same Equality Act protections as people of colour.
