Trans rights aren't starting at zero. We've lost 90 years of rights in the last 10. We don't want perfect. We want the Democrats to stop promising us the rights we recently had will be returned to us in a decade or three if we're quiet and obedient enough.

Why Calling Anti-Trans Hate a “Distraction” Is So Troubling
It’s a familiar line in the midterms: Anti-trans attacks are a “distraction” from “kitchen-table” issues. That sends a chilling message about whose rights are worth fighting for.

Key findings: this is what @lucympowell.bsky.social is doing to trans children. She is a bully who is deliberately and needlessly harming CHILDREN. She should be removed, she is unfit to be Education Secretary or to work with any children.
Key findings:
• Toilets and changing rooms are the most raised issue. Pupils describe gender neutral toilets being removed, staff standing outside toilets, changing in corridors, and deliberately not drinking during the school day.
• Fear of being outed is the most frightening.
Pupils with transphobic parents say they can no longer confide in teachers, and some have already been outed.
• Young people are leaving school. Parents and pupils describe moves to online learning, home education and long absences.
• Many pupils are now too scared to come out at all, and several describe suicidal crises.
• Staff are caught in the middle. Teachers, including trans staff, say they have been made to sign up to guidance they believe conflicts with their safeguarding duty.
• Pupils often point to adults, not peers.
Several pupils say classmates did not care until an adult made an issue of it.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."
