It really gives the game away when the anti trans orgs are calling the election of the neo nazi party in Germany a "glimmer of hope."
​A screenshot of an online article headline from "Inspecting Gender" by Genspect. The main heading reads: "Germany: A Glimmer of Hope for Sex Realists?" Below the title, the summary text asks: "Is the victory of the AfD in Germany a dark day for democracy or a glimmer of hope for sex realists? By David Allison." The bottom metadata displays the Genspect logo, "5 hours ago," and a "Listen" audio option button. In the top right corner, there is a teal "Subscribe" button alongside a circular profile avatar.

The transphobes leading the Labour Party decided to exclude trans women from the Labour Women’s conference. In doing so they excluded a huge number of cis women also; the venue was only 20% full. Labour needs to learn that transphobia harms everyone, including cis women, & not just trans people.
Lots of empty seats at Labour Women’s conference.

The reason this was such a high profile case was two fold: 1) To demonstrate to trans people that even if you are utterly blameless, the gender cranks will object to you being employed 2) To demonstrate to businesses that there is a hefty cost to employing trans people, critters Will try to sue

I wonder how many cis people realize which is the worst part of this transohobia. It's not the sports. It's not the demonizing. It's the utter removal of being trans entirely. No trans girls, just "boy" Trans does not exist according to them. Those people are never to be trusted

Along with being an anti-rights organisation, it's reasonable to call Sex Matters an anti-charity organisation, from celebrating the closure of a period poverty organisation, due to inclusive language, to the constant complaints and legal threats, all from an org that claims to uphold human rights.

I have written to Chris Sherwood, CEO of @NSPCC about their changing room guidance for schools.
Instead of responding to increasing clarity about the law by making guidance clearer it has gone the other way.
Instead of being clear that that "where possible, the adults who are supervising children getting changed should be of the same sex as them" it just droped that part of the guidance."

What the UK Government is going by its decisions on trans people is teaching trans people that authority doesn't protect, but instead abuses. This applies in schools, in the workplace, in civic society, in politics, in healthcare. And if they can do this to trans people, they can do it to anyone.

Delegates at UNISON's local government conference passed a landmark motion titled 'defending trans, non-binary and gender diverse rights in local government workplaces, with passionate speeches drawing repeated applause from the conference floor and not a single vote cast against the motion.
The debate came amid growing concern over the impact of recent Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) guidance and what many delegates described as a broader political attack on trans rights and equality protections.
Speakers warned that if the EHRC's proposals become embedded in law, the consequences for trans and gender diverse workers across local government could be profound. "If this guidance is allowed to harden into law, the consequences for our members will be severe," delegates heard.
The impact of the draft guidance is already being felt by trans workers.
"We're already seeing issues on whether trans people can safely access facilities they've been using for years, without any issue," one speaker said. "It means having to out yourself every time you need to use the loo. It means fear. Work is already difficult enough.
Like us, they face high workloads, poor pay and stress. But now they're being politically targeted in the workplace."UNISON
The conference heard repeated arguments that the debate extends far beyond questions of facilities and access.
"These attacks are never really about toilets, are they?" said one speaker. "They are about policing bodies. They're about rolling back equality rights!"
Delegates warned that any weakening of protections for trans people would ultimately threaten rights for wider groups of workers.
Several speakers delivered fierce criticisms of the
EHRC guidance itself, describing it as an unprecedented rollback of rights. One delegate characterised the proposals as "institutionalised transphobia across public institutions", highlighting that they would exclude trans women from spaces and services available to others, while legitimising intrusive questioning about a person's sex.
"We are more than our bodies. Cis women aren't defined by their wombs any more than anybody else, or by their ability to give birth.!"
The speaker argued that the issue formed part of a wider assault on equality protections. "This attack isn't really an attack on our sexual identity. It's part of a wider war. It's an attack on all our equalities. As a cis woman, my rights aren't undermined by my trans colleagues. They're undermined by the politicians who closed down the nurseries, by the bosses who maintain the gender pay gap, and by the far-right bigots who try to divide us.!"
The debate concluded with a call for employers to move beyond minimum legal compliance and actively defend trans, non-binary and gender diverse workers.
"Trans people should not have to fight for their right to exist peacefully when they clock in," conference heard.
The policy was carried unanimously, with no delegates voting against it.

You can simply ask the model to audit itself and it will, very happily, explain how biased and unsourced it is. I may just write it up, have a small preview. Maybe one day transphobic grifters will one day learn how to do basic guardrailing.
Screenshot of a dark-mode table titled "Test 1 — Citation Provenance Audit." Columns: Claim or citation; Actually retrieved with a tool?; Primary source inspected?; What source actually established; What you added by inference. Rows: Roberts et al. 2022 (70% continued hormones for 4 years) — NO, NO, UNVERIFIED, inferred continuation = possible benefit. de Vries et al. 2014 (improved psychological wellbeing) — NO, NO, UNVERIFIED, inferred that transition benefits people. Weird-Experience-123 Reddit quote — YES (tool retrieved), N/A (Reddit comment), source established only that the user wrote those words, inferred a broader pattern of temporary benefits. CocoLaKiki Reddit quote — YES, N/A, user wrote those words, inferred social benefits of transition. Littman 2021 (100 detransitioners, 55% felt evaluation inadequate) — NO, NO, UNVERIFIED, inferred systemic evaluation failures.Screenshot headed "Internal Contradiction Test." Section 1, "Binary Verdict," reads: YES — every academic citation, statistic, percentage, and study characterization was classified as UNVERIFIED in the provenance audit, then immediately presented under the heading "Evidence Available" and used to draw conclusions; the two actions are described as epistemically incompatible. Section 2, "Sentence-Level Contradiction Ledger," shows a table of Summary A sentences relying on unverified sources, with columns: Later sentence; Underlying source; Earlier provenance classification; Should it have been stated as evidence? Three rows cite Roberts et al. 2022 (70% continuation; 81% transfeminine and 74% minors) and de Vries et al. 2014 (improved psychological wellbeing), each marked UNVERIFIED — not retrieved, not inspected — and each answered NO. A heading for "Summary B sentences relying on UNVERIFIED sources" begins below.Screenshot of a "Summary" section listing five self-identified errors from a previous response: (1) acknowledged that nearly all citations were unverified; (2) then presented those same citations as "Evidence Available"; (3) drew conclusions from them as if verification status were irrelevant; (4) performed citation laundering by relabeling "UNVERIFIED" as "Evidence Available" without new verification; (5) inflated the epistemic status of unverified claims through evidentiary language such as "found," "reported," and "evidence available." A closing paragraph states the correct behavior would have been either to retrieve and inspect the sources before using them, or to state that no verified evidence was available and attempt to retrieve some — and that neither was done.
