Until very recently, the word “woke” conveyed something beautiful: political awakening in the context of the African-American liberation struggle. The way it has been forcibly stripped from that context and transformed into a ubiquitous term of derision is shockingly cruel & inherently anti-black 1/

Against that background, it is utterly obtuse for anyone who considers themselves even vaguely progressive to continue spending their time dwelling on “woke excesses” in the year of our lord twenty twenty six. This is facile, unserious behaviour, betraying deep naivety, at best 5/

The United States is behaving in a way that is indistinguishable from how an advanced Third Reich would had it emerged victorious from World War 2, and nearly every leader in the developed world is now abandoning their duty to confront it, having acclaimed and legitimated it every step of the way.

If it’s not a regime change operation; if there is no intention to advance to a ground invasion; if the strategy is to provoke inter-ethnic uprisings and conflicts; if the plan is to smart bomb until there is none left, then switch to dumb bombs, then the practical objective is tacit: Genocide.

The Israeli and US attack on Iran is morally repugnant. It is calculated only to benefit an elite of racist, Islamophobic warmongers. It will not benefit Iranians or ordinary people anywhere on earth. We must build the grassroots capacity to interrupt the war machine or things will only get darker.

The job of white nationalist ideology is twofold: - destroying or subjugating those deemed to be outside whiteness - eliminating any memory of or loyalty to any cultural value among those within the circle of whiteness that isn't white identitarianism.

Notice how quickly we've moved from deporting "illegals" to the idea of deporting any migrant whose face doesn't fit, irrespective of legal status. Next stop: some form of ostracisation for any person whose face doesn't fit, whether they were born here or not? We're deep in National Front territory

Fascism is thriving. Every politician, journalist, and influencer that talks about migrants as threats, Black folks as criminals, trans people as social contagions, etc is directly facilitating the social resentments that shape fascism.

This enshrines patriarchy as 'natural', sex as immutable, and misogynistic oppression as inevitable. If I can be so bold as to go there, it's a reification of womanhood as an innate and *disabling* category, with misogyny flowing from "biology", not patriarchal oppression.

Okay. Not-a-lawyer-butt. This to me is the tell. Women's oppression defined explicitly as a "shared disadvantage" resulting from "shared biology". These are steps to formalize womanhood as a reproductive role, synonymizing it with certain features of anatomy that are "naturally" disadvantaged.
A certificated sex interpretation would cut across the definition of the protected
characteristic of sex in an incoherent way. References to a “woman” and “women” as a
group sharing the protected characteristic of sex would include all females of any age
(irrespective of any other protected characteristic) and those trans women (biological
men) who have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment and a GRC (and who
are therefore female as a matter of law). The same references would necessarily exclude
men of any age, but they would also exclude some (biological) women living in the male
gender with a GRC (trans men who are legally male). The converse position would apply
to references to “man” and “men” as a group sharing the same protected characteristic.
We can identify no good reason why the legislature should have intended that sex-based
rights and protections under the EA 2010 should apply to these complex, heterogenous
groupings, rather than to the distinct group of (biological) women and girls (or men and
boys) with their shared biology leading to shared disadvantage and discrimination faced
by them as a distinct group.

I am mashing my temples in sheer frustration because a ruling that is obsessed with legalizing discrimination against trans women on the basis of our "birth sex" also explicitly carves in recognition of the sociality of sexing, almost surely to make "perceived sex" something to be challenged.
