Reflecting on the readings for the feast of St Michael and All Angels, I think we're sleeping on 'mortal' as an ominous and gender neutral for of address, as in 'mortal, this is a Wendy's'

Having the cheek to claim that 'depathologisation' is a guiding principle in designing a system in which a committee decides for the individual in their absence if HRT is appropriate is certainly a choice.

Ah, but you see, the legal actions are aimed at protecting biological women and their hard won sex based rights and spaces. Any harm done to transgender people is simply collateral...

Learn from labour in the UK, Oh they can't be as bad as the tories. They did every single tory manifesto promise. Each one, without fail and they did it with a smile on their face and went further. National book ban, forced outing of children, banning of transition care, worse waiting lists etc

Still genuinely interested in this. Guidence assumes that any equivalent of 'ladies' and 'gents' is necessarily always a 'single sex space', but I don't think that can possibly be true.

Trans people using their service are now left without any NHS pathway to receiving the surgical care they need.

Guess they didn't do an equality impact assessment on this, but if they did it would be like 'this negatively affects the transes, but this is a proportionate means of achieving the legitimate aim of negatively affecting the transes'

The cover image shows a effeminate young Victorian man in a cassock looking outraged that three young women are dressing up in his vestments.

The language of compliance and enforcement here is particularly bleak. Equalities and human rights should be about increasing freedom rather than restricting it.

It is theologically crucial that we pay attention to who can speak, who can't speak, and what that says about our commitments. scmpress.hymnsam.co.uk/blog/speech-...

I am convinced that we cannot speak well about gender and sexuality in the Church, and that the Church cannot respond with a prophetic and Christian voice to the increasingly damaging national discourse about trans people, until we recognize epistemic injustice for what it is – an aspect of the fallen condition of humanity that the Church is duty bound to set its face against. When beloved children of God face both interpersonal and institutional violence while being denied the ability to meaningfully participate in society and Church, the Church remains complicit in violence and exclusion.

Ironically, the first report discussed media framing and how trans perspectives are squeezed out. This capitulation, including pulling both reports (and not apologising to the trans community for doing shoddy work in such an important area, since that's what they're claiming), proves the point.

We've been asking 'difficult questions' as a euphemism for cuts for nearly 20 years now. The actual 'difficult questions' are around how we fund adequate support when 'cut and cut again' has clearly failed.

Actually, by admitting assistance dogs you make this a mixed species space. It would be unlawful discrimination to allow assistance dogs without allowing all other animals.

No real horse in the Odyssey discourse, but I'm seeing a lot of 'Emily Wilson is ungrateful and also distils everything wrong with academia' takes. And like, I think it's interesting that we're getting particularly moralistic about hatchet jobs when a woman does it.
