As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Dolly Parton on trans rights. God I loved her.

When looking at the issue of anti-trans legislation, Parton said that “I try to get into the human element of it.” Pointing out that she has people in her life who identify as queer and trans, the 77-year-old star said it was important to hear what they’re saying.

“I know and love them all, and I do not judge. And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are,” she said. “I know how important this is to them. That’s who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there’s something to be judged, that is God’s business. But we are all God’s children and how we are is who we are.”

Anyone else finding it extremely weird that the government hasn’t said anything about climate change? Nothing on the drought? Nothing on the extreme temperatures predicted for our FIFTH heatwave of the summer? Nothing on how on earth we are going to adapt to this “new normal”?

I've spent years working towards a ban on conversion practices, hoping to see a bill published. Today, I just feel so profoundly sad. As many others have noted, the draft has a carve out for "healthcare" so broad it makes a mockery of the idea this is a 'ban'. 1/2 www.gov.uk/government/p...

Under the Government’s draft bill to ban conversion abuse, this tortuous practice will be allowed to continue. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/06...

Labour bill to ban conversion practices reads like an instruction manual for abuse.

The UK Government has today published its draft bill on banning conversion practices in England and Wales – and after 8 long years of promises to bring in an effective ban, we’ll be waiting longer yet.

The draft bill on banning LGBTQIA+ conversion therapy has been released Concerningly, it seems to make a distinction between "conversion practices" and "ABUSIVE conversion practices" - while campaigners underline that all conversion practices are abusive
