Sometimes, we say enough is enough. We are tired of the hate, the harm, the division and the misrepresentation. This is just one of 113k cis women who signed and spoke. If you feel the same, and know others who’d agree, please sign and share: notinourname.org.uk

Blonde haired women smiles. She says “I signed because it was a huge relief to find a group of women who feel the same way I do. Some women are uncomfortable with the negative stories we keep being told about trans people — I am one of them.

I’m proud to call myself a NION woman”

New cartoon: The RNLI

Cartoon titled “The RNLI: Some of the people they help,” showing six scenarios involving people rescued by the RNLI. Including a man caught by the tide, a YouTuber swimming without preparation, a middle-lane driver, a neighbour with different political opinions, a superyacht owner who forgot to refuel, and people crossing the Channel in a small boat. The final caption reads, “All human beings – all deserve saving.”

In case anyone was still in any doubt that trans people have always existed, here's a delightful account of a trans man called Emanuel from 1634. The author even gets the pronouns right! [There are a few more...]

Of the changing of Sexe,

Matus Lufitanus reports that in the village Esquina, there was a maid named Maria Pateca, who at the appointed age for her courses to flow, had in stead of them a mans yard, lying before that time hid and covered, so that of a woman she became a man, and therefore laying aside her woman's habit, was clothed in mans, and changing her name, was Called Emmanuel ; who when he had got much wealth by many and great negotiations and commerce in India, returned to his country and married a wife, but Lusitanus said he did not certainly know whether he had any children, but that he was certain he remained always beardless.

NEW Why holding a placard is a terrorist act, while causing disruption in a balaclava is not The mess caused by ministers and the police not taking terrorism law seriously By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Recent events in England now reveal the practical difference between terrorists and protesters. It would seem that terrorists peacefully hold placards and get immediately arrested, while protesters wear black uniforms and balaclavas and disrupt infrastructure and do not get arrested.

How did we get into this mess? How have we placed ourselves in the position where terrorism legislation is used to detain and prosecute peaceful protesters, while those adopting the terror tactics of private armies seem to be free to do as they wish?

The reason is that for some time British politicians have not taken terrorism legislation seriously, and that ministers have got into the habit of misusing terror laws for easy targets.

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

If a lEgiTiMaTe dEbATe aBOut iMMigRaTioN leads to people turning up with pitchforks to demand credentials from every group of young non-white men arriving in town, you’d think even Labour MPs would start asking themselves if it’s really a legitimate debate

Amanda Martin, Labour MP for Portsmouth North, called the hotel incident "deeply concerning".
She said: "It's completely unacceptable that misinformation has led to young cricketers visiting our city being wrongly targeted and mistaken for people seeking asylum.
"It's also wrong that people who work in the hotels had to deal with this.
"Those who arrived in Portsmouth on Sunday were transported outside of Hampshire for processing.
"There is a legitimate debate to be had about immigration, but it must be based on facts not misinformation or rumour."
The BBC understands the England and Wales Cricket Board has checked on wellbeing of the Pakistani under-19s team, and is reviewing security arrangements for the remainder of their tour.

Sometimes, on certain policy, the UK public is just wrong and even if a poll showed 90% in favour it would still be wrong. Plunging hundreds of thousands of children into poverty and destitution is one of those.

London's homicide rate hit its lowest level since records began. Yet 40% of the public thought that murders had risen since 2019. That’s the danger of disinformation. We cannot accept it, and to defeat it, we’ve got to put pressure on the social media companies who profit from it.

The thing liberals fundamentally don't understand is that trans people are losing rights they already had. We're not asking for more, we're asking not to lose what we already had for decades. Most sports leagues and the Olympics had inclusion criteria for decades without issue.

Screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) exchange discussing political pragmatism and the Overton window.
The initial post by onion person (@CantEverDie) reads:
> "doesn't matter, this is about what the right is able to push with the overton window. first its democrats needing to disavow trans women in sports to get elected, next it'll be agreeing to ban access to HRT to get elected. we've seen how this plays out"
>
A reply from Nick Pappas (@NickAPappas) reads:
> "Are you insane? The Overton window didn’t even include this discussion until recently. The public has never been in favor of desegregating the sports by sex.
> Personally I’m glad Barack Obama ran against gay marriage in 2008. Not because that was the right position, or one he even actually held, but because he knew the public wasn’t with him on it. If he hadn’t won he wouldn’t have been able to appoint 2 of the justices who ultimately voted in the majority for Obergefell.
> Lincoln in 1860 didn’t even run on abolishing slavery! He just wanted to stop its expansion. And thankfully he did that and won because a more extreme and morally correct position would have lost. As a result he was able to win the Civil War and push through the 13 amendment.
> Political practicality is the entire history of progress in America. There’s no other way."
