So much misinformation being spread on tiktok about the new EHRC Code by seemingly well meaning cis people who simply have not read a single thing trans people have been saying about this code or bathroom bills in general, and it's all being amplified by terrified and misinformed trans people.

The great thing about Britain is you're free to think whatever you want to think and say whatever J. K. Rowling's lawyers permit you to say.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

At this point, I genuinely believe the entire public is being actively gaslit by both the media, and Esther Ghey herself, into forgetting that Brianna Ghey was murdered, by people she knew from school, in real life, who were partly influenced by transphobia, fuelled by the media and politicians.

Americans think British people are wimps for complaining about the heat. But what you don't realise is that most British houses were actually built in Britain, a cursed island that hates us.

Gender critical folks also don't believe us when we tell them "sex-based rights" is an idea they themselves made up in just the last handful of years.

One of the most depressing things about trying to sound the alarm on the "Gender Critical" movement back when it was gaining traction, was that one of the main transphobic activists of the 2010s was a woman who had groomed a minor under her care, and everyone just stuffed their fingers in their ears

pip is a benefit that specifically *helps* disabled people into work, as it's designed to help pay for things like mobility aids and care in the home. it is not an out-of-work benefit, and over half a million disabled people rely on it currently to be *able to work*.

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments. It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap. It was wrong to slash disability benefits. Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
the "stop doing math" meme except it says "STOP DRIVING CARS". the meme reads:
* PEOPLE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ISOLATED IN CAGES
* YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for building ONE MORE LANE
* Wanted to travel large distances anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "TRAINS"
* "Yes please give me NO GREENERY. Please give me INFINITE PAVEMENT" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what Civil Engineers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the concrete and asphalt we built for them

The Gist: Trans rights are Data rights
A UK court has made a decision defining genders which has put it at odds with a less noticed, more important, decision from the CJEU. This is the Gist.

you can see the top-down authoritarian nature of the anti-trans movement very clearly in graham linehan, in how every time there's a report or legal case that says he's right he does a victory lap expecting it to actually change how people think. like he's looking forward to apologies

every single one of your examples was available-as-default before this ruling, but no more - for example, what ward in a hospital is a trans man expected to use if not the men's or the women's?

nonsense. it's clear to anyone with a functioning level of literacy that trans men are far more likely to be denied access to services they need now than they were previously

that doesn't say "single-sex spaces", though. single-sex based exemptions was something that already existed in EA2010 - which is what this is referencing. "single-sex spaces" is a very specific dogwhistle phrase that can't be substituted with other, similar-sounding phrases.

jacob @houseplanter.bsky.social · 18/04/2025
lying. the ruling makes clear that trans men aren't allowed in single-sex spaces designated for men *or* in spaces designated for women, because their presence might make women "uncomfortable"
