So far this week we have lost three right-wing fraudsters in their eighties with criminal convictions related to their use of hush money to cover up sexual scandals. Almost like the Grim Reaper is hunting for one person in particular.

You can tell this is all bullshit by the quote marks in the headline. If it wasn't bullshit they wouldn't need to quote someone talking bullshit, they could just print their headline. TBF the trans activists bit is also bullshit as it's just trans people.

"Transgender rights activists are spreading misinformation about guidance that protects single-sex spaces by claiming it erodes trans people’s rights, the equalities regulator has said." [Times page 2]

Trans activists ‘wrong over single-sex code’
Geraldine Scott - Assistant Political Editor
Transgender rights activists are spreading misinformation about guidance that protects single-sex spaces by claiming it erodes trans people’s rights, the equalities regulator has said.

Mary-Ann Stephenson, chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), said criticism of its updated code of practice had made the “real alarm” felt by trans people worse by wrongly suggesting they had lost protections or would face sex checks.

Stephenson said women had also been affected by not having access to single-sex spaces. She said: “Women who believe that their right to privacy, dignity or safety have not been properly protected deserve to have those concerns taken seriously too.”

Last week the Liberal Democrats passed a conference motion branding the code discriminatory and “unworkable”.

At Labour’s conference Joanne Thomas, the general secretary of the Usdaw union and chairwoman of Labour Unions, said the law and the EHRC code would hurt trans and nonbinary people and argued that rights had been rolled back.

Stephenson said the code did not create new law or abolish protections for transgender people.

She said: “Recognising women’s need for access to single-sex services doesn’t require us to dismiss the rights of trans people. And recognising the vulnerability of trans people doesn’t require us to dismiss women’s concerns.”

The EHRC’s code of practice came into force in August, 16 months after the Supreme Court ruled that sex in relation to the Equality Act must be defined biologically. This means single-sex lavatories, changing rooms, hospital wards and refuges must be used based on a person’s birth sex, not the gender with which they identify.

The Good Law Project, which is backing a legal challenge against the code, accused the EHRC of producing “discriminatory” and “unworkable” guidance and said service providers which followed it would be “helping to strip trans pe…

I agree! I keep conveying this reasonable advice to the fascists, but they keep assaulting the people having lunch, setting fire to the café, starting a pogrom, slashing lifeboats in the sea, attacking non-white people in the streets , etc. For this failure to cure ideological bias, I blame the left

My GP recommends swimming for my back. I want to go. There are 2 communal changing rooms. Labour say I should use the mens. I am a visibly female woman with a GRC. If I use the mens there's a serious risk of me being confronted and worse. So where do I go? I don't. I'm segregated from society.

Not a novel observation by any means but the irony here, of course, is that it is precisely the UK’s successful approach to multiculturalism that has allowed us to generate a brown white nationalist.

Astonishing really how ADHD-denialism so closely matches early trans-denialism (say, a decade ago, before it went mask-off eliminationist), to the point that it includes the exact same personalities, again vomiting their know-nothing opinions all over the place.

With conditions like ADHD that make many routine tasks seem impossible that's already a factor. Of course this is all about the myth that an ADHD diagnosis is a golden ticket to a lifetime of luxury on out of work benefits

It would be fascinating* to hear why having a diagnosis and a non means tested, in work, benefit to help cope with it for the most severe cases would hold someone back. Most charitable explanation is that identifying as disabled could make some people think things are beyond them but...

This song is such a great example of what I love about the Gibbs as songwriters. It's ostensibly a Motown pastiche, but they can't resist throwing those key changes in and the lyrics are so distinctively their work. I can't think of another songwriter who'd write "let you make all that love to me"

this 1922 new york times story on hitler, over 100 years later, is like the poster child for why you don't just accept spin from people you have access to as gospel when you're doing reporting.

But several reliable, well-informed sources confirmed the idea that Hitler's anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded, and that he was merely using anti-Semitic propaganda as a bait to catch messes of followers and keep them aroused, enthusiastic and in line for the time when his organization is perfected and sufficiently powerful to be employed effectively for political pur- poses.

I simply don’t grasp the desire to compromise one iota with people like this. They have no desire to compromise with us, or with their clueless enablers and fellow travellers. They will not be merciful or understanding if they win. Every inch we give is a victory for them. Enough already, now.

“Legitimate concerns“ rhetoric & increasing restrictions on migrants’ rights have led directly to Piddlington & to RNLI staff being doxxed as traitors. There can be no more trying to pretend there’s a respectable anti-immigration position which is meaningfully distinguishable from far-right thuggery
