This is the world JK Rowling helped create. This is what Harry Potter is funding. All the legal challenges to enforce this regime are backed by Rowling and her Harry Potter money.

LGB Alliance US Division is apparently Locking In. Do anti-gender fascists have any new ideas, or do they just recycle everything endlessly and create their own warped simulacrum of reality? Because really, it seems like the latter.
LCR President: After significant disgussions within our membership, our Board of Directors voted to refine Log Cabin Republicans' national advocacy focus to concentrate specifically on issues of sexual orientation and conservative values—in other words, we are an LGB advocacy organization, as our founders envisioned and as our moral center calls us to be.

“The fact that people are multidimensional in their sex-related biological traits means that the binary view of sex is fundamentally misleading. Biological sex has variations and nuances, just as gender does.” People who think “biological” sex is binary are literally deluded.

This is something GC activists are doing a lot, demeaning critics of their movement, while, essentially admitting that those "trolls" were right about the fascism of their movement, so much so that they have lost the energy to be a part of their movement because of it.

The Toilet Police
In uniforms tailored by Rowling The Toilet Police are prowling
It's their first shift on this particular grift
With their ill-fitting caps and beady eyes And fixed ideas about shape and size They're on guard for the non-conforming They're looking hard; this is a warning
A top pocket row of auditor's pens
No need to ask why they ain't checking the men's
They're at large, in charge, and full of hate Do you look the part, or do you look a state?
And if you fit in but you still ain't vexed
Better ask yourself
Who's next?

It takes an especially dark mind to think of a minority group that experiences elevated levels of sexual violence, framing them as a perpetual "threat" for the crime of existence, but it also shows that even as victims of crimes, trans people are perpetually labeled as unworthy of consideration.

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

Republicans want to demand all women wear dresses and makeup. The way they're doing this? Pretending it's about a tiny handful of teachers, in all of North Carolina. Why would you pass a compulsory dress code for citizens that applies to 12 people unless you eventually wanted it for 50% of them?

“reliable welfare facilities [are] a basic requirement in any civilised society” “…some staff “lack adequate facilities or the time to use them, is unacceptable. This is a matter of human dignity, health, safety and respect to our people.” If only newspapers would say that about trans people.

In New Zealand, the medical board responsible for managing doctors had all of its members removed for "ideology" and now, two political appointees have been made to the board by a Christofascist minister on purely ideological lines. Both have ties to "The Free Speech Union." One is a proud TERF.

A government willing to lie about trans people to justify persecution is the same government that'll lie about AI capabilities or economic data when it's convenient, and institutions built on that pattern tend to eventually produce their own failures somewhere unrelated to where the cruelty started.

Trans/intersex affirming researchers can bring facts, charts, expertise, experience, to the public. The media puts this on equal with a deeply unwell children's author and pretends "A doctor squinted, kinda saw a vagina in 1959, so now you're destined to be a broodmare" is a good way to run society.

They plan to remove an exhibit about the changing shape of girlhood because it's considered indoctrination. Everything the anti-trans political movement can't understand is automatically "propaganda" or "ideology." They can't process information. Anything different is a threat. It's embarrassing.

Trans women are women. How do I know this? Because the UK press is as misogynistic and dismissive as possible to them. Trans men are men. How do I know that? Because the UK press ignores systemic problems about how men are treated in society and treat any shown vulnerability by them as a failing.

So let me get this straight—Trump makes a big bloviated speech where he stands on stage, demonizes trans people again, and insinuates democrats are stealing elections. But then people look at the actual docs THEY RELEASED TO PROVE THE CLAIMS, and they implicate...him? LOL. LMAO even.

So how fabricated are the lies against trans and intersex people? Here's Trump at a press conference claiming that the CHIPS Act was not to develop high quality transistors but that it made people "look all over to hire transgender people to run the company." How's this paranoia "protecting women?"

Umberto Eco’s eighth feature of Ur-Fascism. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak."
The 14 features of Fascism, by Umberto Eco.
1. The cult of tradition. "One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements."
2. The rejection of modernism. "The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism."
3. The cult of action for action's sake. "Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation."
4. Disagreement is treason. The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge."
5. Fear of difference. The first appeal of a faseist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition."
6. Appeal to social frustration. "One of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups."
7. The obsession with a plot. "The followers must feel besieged. The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to xenophobia."
8. The enemy is both strong and weak. "By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak."
9. Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. "For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle."
10. Contempt for the weak. "Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology."
11. Everybody is educated to become a hero. "In Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death."
12. Machismo and weaponry. "Machismo implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of…

Amnesty didn't just apply a label; it asked the Charity Commission to review these groups' charitable status, noted that a 1/3 are registered "charities," and called for funder due diligence. That's not a reputational scratch, it's a threat to the money and the tax status, hence the SLAPP suit.

When cis people abuse the medical system for elective treatment, the care's not questioned, just the methods. But when it's trans or intersex people and the medicine they need to stay alive, it's "a scam" and a massive scandal that should tear down the systems who enable the "dangerous medicine."
