In a way, trans people end up getting used as an excuse to pretend away the problem of abuse in hospitals. "If we just have single-sex wards, it won't be a problem". Trans people get used as the scapegoat, and nothing substantial has to change.

To piggyback on Evan's point here, I wonder how much institutional failures to prevent harassment and abuse (mostly by cisgender men) plays into the anti-trans panic that fuels these policy changes. Is this the NHS admitting that, in fact, they cannot protect women from violent men?

I actually think the use of the word “finally” is so telling as to the role our heavily right-wing media plays in our politics. Sources like The Telegraph have been pushing successive governments for trans-exclusionary policy for years. They’ve got what they wanted. This is now their victory lap.

'we should segregate trans ppl bcos their presence is upsetting to me' is no different from the reasoning used to segregate Black ppl it's absurd that these ppl are claiming that they don't have a phobia when their entire argument is 'trannies make me feel icky' @lucympowell.bsky.social can f off

This country is a disgrace. More misery, hate, discrimination and segregation forced on trans people. On Labour's watch.

The thing that’s particularly galling is that men who write for the climate change denying, anti-vaccine Daily Sceptic - run by the eugenics-curious - have set themselves up as arbiters of what constitutes academic freedom, and what constitutes legitimate academic merit. And the media lap it up.

Attenborough is also a writer at The Critic (associate editor: Toby Young). And the Spectator (associate editor: Toby Young). And the Daily Sceptic (editor in chief: Toby Young; co-owner: Noah Carl). It’s the same handful of men, putting on different hats, and pretending to be unbiased consensus.

I trust this “rival” inquiry about as much as I would trust anything run by one of Toby Young’s (former?) employees. Freddie Attenborough who runs CAF used to work for Young (Young’s business partner, Noah Carl, was sacked from Cambridge for promoting eugenics). www.thetimes.com/uk/education...

The whole Arday scandal and the reaction to it makes perfect sense when you assume that, for those responsible, the death of a young black person of some modest prominence and influence was a good outcome, they're glad it happened, and would like to do it again.

I would take more seriously the people promoting the idea of AI consciousness if they first materially grappled with the (much more obvious) consciousness of animals and how that affects our moral obligations to them.

It's essential that science learns from that and does not dictate what is or isn't real. If we do that, we stop doing science.

Commenting on the screenshot, not Sophie, obviously. Science doesn't dictate a truth. It tries to get closer to some ideal of it, in a Sisyphean or Zeno like task. Trans identities are part of a beautiful expansion of our understanding of sex and gender beyond the binary.
