What the UK Government is going by its decisions on trans people is teaching trans people that authority doesn't protect, but instead abuses. This applies in schools, in the workplace, in civic society, in politics, in healthcare. And if they can do this to trans people, they can do it to anyone.

So the new national waiting list referral process for gender services in England has THREE opportunities for AI to fuck it up and discharge you. So cool, very good job NHS England that'll fix things so much better than just funding and commissioning GPs to do their job.
A section of a flowchart of the new referral process for gender services with the following text: 
2nd contact via AI referral still required and any changes in information?
Referral still required -> Yes
3rd contact via AI referral still required, any changes in information & admin consents
Referral still required? -> Yes
4th contact AI - referral still required, offer potential transfer for 1st appt or preferred GS?

Labour supporters crying foul about Reform wanting to ignore the UK's human rights obligations while Labour exist and are currently doing so while in government is truly an astonishing phenomenon. The power of doublethink that these guys have is remarkable.

Hey @amnestyuk.bsky.social can you update your bio to "Fighting for cis human rights" just for accuracy's sake. It's so cool living in a country where human rights organisations just literally do not think you are worth defending.

Burnham must seek closer ties to Europe, they say without talking about the elephant in the room of that meaning the government would need to fix the human rights disparity between the UK and Europe.

This is what the England page looked like to me yesterday evening. In May there was a live reporting of the Unite the Kingdom rally, and a secondary static article on it as it happened, despite half the number of attendees vs. Trans Pride. Does one town centre street need 7 barbershops indeed.
A screenshot of the BBC News website, England, with the following headlines "Twenty firefighters taken to hospital after explosion", "Six men arrested over fatal Clapham stabbing", "Police question boy, 14, over aircraft hoax threat", "Does one town centre street need seven barbershops?", "Murder arrests after teen dies in Luton stabbing", "I love busking - but I get harassed by men every day", "What is a nurdle and why do they matter?"

It really is incredible how many people not in these categories refuse to believe the very basic fact that Starmer has been the worst Prime Minister for racial and LGBTI+ equality thus far this century. We're on race rioting every summer and outright trans eliminationism! It's fuckin grim, lads

God I hate Keir Starmer so much. Hope he somehow manages to grow an ounce of self-awareness and is wracked by his moral failings and never knows a moments peace so long as he remains on this planet. Gonna assume he gets by just fine despite all the harm he's caused and just blames everyone else.

The problem with the segregation and discrimination code is that it's unworkable, not that it's evil, a complete moral failure, and fundamentally incompatible with the HRA.

Keir Starmer was a corrupt, authoritarian bigot that has had innocent people branded terrorists to protect a state committing genocide, and has ushered in a new era of section 28. He was an awful prime minister, and fuck anyone who is sat here eulogising him.

Contrary to whst the 20 remaining ultras on here think: no, history will not remember Keir Starmer's premiership kindly. The best he can hope for – and the likeliest outcome by far – is that history will barely remember his premiership at all.

I wish an everything he has sown and all that he deserves upon this man in his final years. May he be remembered as the evil and cowardly bigot that he is, and go down in history as the man who sparked the destruction of the Labour party. Let that be his legacy.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention has issued red flag alerts against the genocidal intent of the UK towards the trans community. Both the UN and the Council of Europe have raised serious human rights concerns. Trans people are having healthcare removed. Where is the robust GPEW response?

I generally think a good way to react to someone’s rights being taken away is the way you’d react if it was yours. Not to co-opt the struggle or take the spotlight from the people being marginalized, but just to set the level of how pissed you should be.
