JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

Trans people have a right to exist, we have a right to equal citizenship with others and to not be rendered to some indeterminate state segregated outside of normal social provisions. We have a right to safe, accessible and free healthcare in line with best practices.

It's not "too woke" to say that straight men who rape women should be reviled for being rapists, not tarred as secretly queer. To imply they're gay, or that they wear dresses, to distance them from manhood, is to insist that their violence is "deviant" rather than utterly banal and normative.

Ten years ago in the UK, even conservative MPs were supportive of self ID and warned about the dangers of trans bathroom bans in the US. Now a center left labour government is implementing a nationwide bathroom ban by fiat on August 5th without even so much as a vote.

The government's own Equality Impact Assessment acknowledges that this could place some trans people at a "disproportionate risk of violence and sexual assault", and cautions about the dangers of gender policing affecting everyone, noting "women who are considered masculine may face greater scrutiny".

This is razor sharp in a way I've not read from any other writer on the topic. So many lines I could quote. It's absolutely excellent. Go read it.
The queer vote, the, for lack of a better word, ‘internationalist’ vote, are invariably going to be core pillars of any modern centre-left party’s coalition. They’ll put up with a certain amount of performative moderation, given how frightening the alternatives are, but their patience is not infinite. People will not cast ballots for a party that is actively oppressing them, removing longstanding rights, or describing them in dehumanizing terms. The actual centre-left coalition is bartenders, supermarket shelve stackers, and waitresses. People who live in a big city in a small rental with roommates. Nurses, teachers, office staff. Young aspirational couples in the suburbs. Students and recent grads. Progressive professionals and, yes, academics. To those who are baffled by the hatred of Starmer from the left, ask yourself, if you were to be prevented from using a toilet, would it matter to you if it was done directly, or through an intermediary? Ask yourself also how people who work service roles might feel about those who outsource ugly, discriminatory conversations to them, in order to keep their own hands clean, to maintain their self-image as ‘decent’ people.

My view is that sports coverage is always done assuming a male audience and because of that 1) women viewers are encouraged to understand the sports section of the news isn't of interest to them 2) the commentary is appallingly centred around justifying women to men

It is 2025. The EHRC in the UK keeps trying to materialize a trans bathroom ban out of a muddled UKSC opinion third-sexing all trans people. A bill to criminalise those who provide trans minors with transition care passed in the US House of Representatives. And cis "allies" still think this helps.
Conflating gender and biological sex is pseudo-science.

Biological males can't become biological females, and vice versa, AND TRANS PEOPLE KNOW THAT. They are performing their preferred GENDER, not changing their SEX. You know, the same way cis men get hair plugs and cis women shave their legs.

This is in the Times today
Trans people frightened to leave homes, says MP
Daisy Eastlake
Trans people are frightened to go out or use public toilets after the supreme court ruling that defined a woman in terms of biological sex, a Labour MP has said.

Rachel Taylor, who is a member of the women and equalities committee, described the interim guidance put forward by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) after the ruling as “dangerous” and “incorrect”.

The judgment in April ruled that sex was defined biologically in terms of the Equality Act. Numerous Labour MPs have defied the ruling, and criticised guidance issued to the government by the EHRC in light of it.

The Times previously revealed the guidance warns shops, gyms, the NHS and other public bodies that if they say a facility is single-sex, it would have to exclude transgender people who did not biologically match that sex. Taylor said: “I think the interim guidance ... was a totally disproportionate response to a judgement. What happened as a result was that trans people became very frightened — to go out, to use toilets.”

Taylor also said that the commission’s new guidance, which was set out following a public consultation, was likely “dangerous”. She added: “We have some very rushed, very incorrect guidance ... that wasn’t done in any way in consultation with the government.

They have now put forward guidance which ... I’m assuming is quite similar to the dangerous interim guidance.”

It's three years this week since the UK media reported that 1000 families were going to sue the Tavistock (Gender Identity Clinic) for medical mispractice. There wasn't one "family", let alone 1000. It was clear, at the time, that it was bullshit propaganda, and even clearer now. 1/
