In a way it's enlightening to see this MP objecting to the presence of a trans person on a *mixed* emergency ward where there are presumably also cis men present. An example of how trans women are often presented as being uniquely dangerous or icky and the goal is to push us out of everywhere.

* Social democrats and liberals largely did vote for geriatric conservative general Hindenburg as the "lesser evil" to prevent Hitler winning the presidency in 1932. Hindenburg won. He then appointed Hitler chancellor and repeatedly signed off on every measure the nazis needed to seize power.

Well this was prescient. I'm again seeing trans people harassed for criticizing anti-trans Dems with "you wouldn't vote for a 'lesser evil' to stop Hitler becoming president!!!" In 1932 a lot of people did vote for a "lesser evil" to stop exactly that. He promptly put Hitler in power.

Musk's acquisition of Twitter was entirely about appropriating the discursive commons to influence, manipulate and degrade conversations about marginalized demographics. He is explicitly responsible for funding and bolstering far-right narratives, as much as Zuckerberg and figures like Bannon.

Those were real-life consequences. And regardless of Cunningham’s intentions when expressing her opinion about transgender athletes, she opened the door for entities with ulterior motives to take her comments and run — both to cash in personally and to push a harmful agenda to further divide the country.

According to an exclusive report from CT Jones of Rolling Stone, citing the data analytics company GUDEA and its founder, Keith Presley, “there were only a handful of tweets that ever got more than 3,000 retweets” related to the transgender athlete debate engulfing the WNBA.

“If you take out the eight top posts, this [narrative] didn’t happen. Nobody would be talking about this,” Presley said.

GUDEA analyzed 188,631 relevant posts from July 20 to Aug. 12, per Rolling Stone, with nearly 99% of posts living on X and 3.57% falling in the “non-typical” bucket of influencers, pundits, and aggregation accounts.

“Georgia Paul, GUDEA’s head of customer success, tells Rolling Stone that the online conversation’s domination by ‘non-typical’ accounts is important because these individuals have the highest incentive to drive up engagement,” Jones wrote. “Since Elon Musk’s purchase of the platform in 2022, the founder has publicly stated that his goal is to make the app’s algorithm — and people’s feeds — free of political bias and more equitable for conservative posters. Not only can people who pay for premium X subscriptions now make money off of their most popular tweets, but they’re prioritized in comment sections, driving their tweets to the top.”

One of the common arguments from so called "gender criticals", transphobes, is "what rights are trans people losing". The answer is so many. Just today we have seen in practice that trans people are being excluded from healthcare., to add to public spaces, education etc. It all costs lives.

Trans people should use hospital spaces according to biological sex, NHS England says

The UK's new plan for trans students: bathroom bans, forced outing, & no social transitions

The plan is likely to place trans and gender non-conforming children at greater risk.

Single-sex spaces open to the public, such as toilets and changing rooms, should be organised based on biological sex, according to official guidance that has come into force.

The code, published by Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), says trans people should use either gender-neutral facilities or the ones that match their biological sex, in places such as gym changing rooms or rape crisis centres.

Add another Democratic candidate who has taken an anti-trans stance this campaign. Virtually everyone missed this one. Adam Hamilton's US senate campaign in Kansas called transgender girls "boys," opposed athletics, and was in favor of a surgery ban. Haven't seen this one reported anywhere yet.

$Democratic response is fractured Although the Republican attacks are unified, Democrats’ responses are not. Some candidates have publicly distanced themselves from Republicans’ most extreme accusations. Turek in Iowa and Talarico in Texas both said they oppose gender affirming surgeries for minors, without arguing for a broad ban on medical treatment. Tyson Brody, a spokesperson for Hamilton’s campaign in Kansas, said Hamilton does not think girls should “compete against boys” in sports and that gender affirming surgeries shouldn’t be performed on children.$

The BBC has already responded to my complaint from yesterday, via copy and paste. This is unacceptable. I’ve raised a complaint in response to demand that my complaint is adequately addressed.

"Thank you for contacting us about Strictly Come Dancing regarding the blurring of a message on a T-shirt seen in a training room clip.

As is standard practice on any entertainment show on the BBC and in line with our editorial guidelines, appropriate steps are taken to reduce the inclusion of any overt branding or slogans that may be present, regardless of the wording or statement in question.

Thanks again for getting in touch. We’ve shared your comments with the Strictly team and with senior BBC managers through our complaints reporting process.

If you’d like to understand how your complaint is handled at the BBC, you might find it helpful to watch the short film on the BBC Complaints website about how the BBC responds to your feedback. It explains the BBC’s process for responding to complaints, what to do if you aren’t happy with your response and how we share the feedback we receive.

Kind regards,

BBC Complaints Team
www.bbc.co.uk/complaints"

"
Your response acknowledges my complaint but fails to address it. You've repeated a generic statement about editorial guidelines while ignoring the points raised.
I didn't contact you to hear your branding policy repeated back to me. I complained because the BBC blurred a message supporting transgender women's safety, visibility and respect.
In December 2025, the BBC described "Protect the Dolls" as calling for "the safety, visibility and respect of transgender women against anti-trans rhetoric and violence". Which part of that message does the BBC not want its audience to see?
You claim to remove "any overt branding or slogans" regardless of wording. Yet Carlos Gu wore a T-shirt repeating "Feminist" during week one rehearsals. As a feminist, I'm glad he wore it and support his right to do so. But if the policy applies regardless of the message, why was his shirt acceptable while Bethany's was blurred? Your explanation isn't consistently applied. Explain why.
This also sits within the BBC's wider record on trans issues. A Good Law Project-commissioned poll found 70% of trans respondents considered BBC News's reporting about them hostile. TACC has documented patterns in UK media coverage of trans people and our rights. The BBC has helped sustain hostility towards trans people. Against that background, hiding a message calling for our safety and visibility raises serious questions about its role in our erasure.
Your response has addressed none of this. Sharing my comments with senior managers doesn't answer my questions.
I expect a substantive response identifying the exact guidelines that justified blurring Bethany's shirt, explaining the apparent inconsistency, and addressing the impact of suppressing messages of solidarity with trans women.
The BBC knows what this message means. It explained it publicly, yet chose to hide it. Why? Answer the complaint I actually made, rather than repeating a generic statement that evades it."

It is fascinating just how quickly transphobes have dropped the mask from “we need to protect biological women in women’s spaces”, to now be screeching because they’ve seen someone they assume to be trans driving a bus. Their genocidal intent literally couldn’t be clearer. “Legally held beliefs.”

Below the text is a screenshot from the page of the Scottish Citylink bus service, giving a shoutout to a member of staff called Deborah. The post includes a picture of Deborah, and some compliments she’s received from Citylink customers for her driving and customer service.

Below the post is a comment from me: She's driving a bus, Janet, and evidently doing a good job. She's doing nothing to harm anyone. She's contributing more to society than your poor excuse for "journalism" ever has and ever will. What are you hoping to gain by publicly harassing her?

Three figures: 1,271 accounts blocked in eleven days, against twelve in the two years before. 46% of the readable bulk-loaded accounts had never replied to, quoted or mentioned him this year. 2.5× the odds of being blocked for a trans-identified account, against others who wrote equally harsh posts.

Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.

Ironically, the first known violation of that law is now coming from the state itself. On September 18th, the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) informed providers that “certain Physician-Administered Drug (PAD) services for the purposes of gender-affirming care will no longer be covered benefits for members under 18 years of age.” Two weeks later, HCPF released its full policy surrounding its updated coverage, and it somehow manages to be worse than the policies enacted by Arizona and Virginia. As Transitics reported last week, the federal rule allows for a 6-month ‘tapering’ period for youth currently receiving gender-affirming care where federal funds can still be used. And although HCPF does mention that stipulation in its policy, it also introduced a strange exception:

“Effective October 13, 2026, claims payment for GnRH/LHRH agents prescribed for gender-affirming care therapy for members under the age of 18 will not be allowed… Prior authorization for testosterone, estrogen, progesterone or medroxyprogesterone therapy for members under the age of 18,” the policy reads, “who are receiving and stabilized on therapy for gender-affirming care prior to October 13, 2026, may receive approval to allow for tapering and discontinuation of therapy.”

The exclusion of puberty blockers in the tapering policy isn’t accidental. The state’s prior authorization guidance that was updated the same day mirrors the policy and once again does not allow for a tapering period for trans kids receiving puberty blockers. And like Arizona and Virginia, Colorado has provided no indication that it has notified patients and their families. In doing so, Colorado is going far beyond what even the Trump administration intended—immediately cutting many trans kids’ care and leaving them scrambling for options.

Because the very idea of changing sex is seen as so alien, impossible; which leads to trans identity being regarded as artifice and play-acting that it is simply polite to humor; and so when transphobes question this state of affairs and challenge people's commitment to it, they have nothing.

It's still a struggle to get people to envision the struggle for trans rights in terms of bodily autonomy, in terms of sex being a mutable characteristic that we have a right to alter without intervention or censure. It was a perfect wedge issue because cis people's discomfort went unchallenged.
