That she has the ear of government, policy makers and equality commissions, paints a dire picture of the society we live in and should forever be a stain on all who listened to her.

Put it this way: if the Greens, Kneecap and Gary Lineker are prompting enraged all-channels screaming fury but e.g. an army seizing, depopulating and ethnically cleansing southern Lebanon of its racially undesirable populace doesn’t make anyone blink, then I am going to conclude - bullshit

They seemingly do this sort of thing on repeat, attempting to ensure a centrist Labour party remains relevant otherwise the Guardian may lose their core readers. Jeremy Corbyn got the same treatment.

Cis guy walks into a women's locker room and immediately proceeds to sexually assault women. JK Rowling: this is trans people's fault.

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

It's so weird how they equate football with cricket, saying it's unfair cricket fans can enjoy alcohol. As a kid I ran away from the tribalism of football mostly due to all the violence I saw. I discovered cricket and loved it because I could sit with any fan, from either side, and share the joy.

I think typical Labour values have simply changed to suit what they believe will get them elected. Blair discarded swathes of Labour values and instilled things old Labour hated. The trend has continued since. So I guess there is no longer any values Labour hold, just populist stances

Because they seek power and in so doing have fallen prey to whomever offers to buy them out to secure the press they crave. Not that they always get it, but then the billionaire class cares not who is in power, all can be bought out in today's world.

Sensible centrists? Is there really such a thing? Or are centrists just those intent on securing what they see as the middle ground vote and happily ignore any minority view? At the end of the day I think they just seek power and happily take whichever dollar will secure that.

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

Every day, the stories from the UK read like a dystopian novel.
​Screenshot of a Reddit post from r/transgenderUK titled "Excluded from school for supporting a trans girl." A parent describes their daughter, who has Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), choosing to use the boys' restrooms in solidarity with a trans classmate who was forced to do so, resulting in her being excluded from school.

I think this likely too, that they capitulate so readily is mind boggling. What is in it for them? Surely it's not just a keep to the party line or are they all that pathetic?

Does 'just this' cover her wider gender critical views, as in transphobia? Or are those firmly left wing views now the Labour party has adopted them wholeheartedly?

Lena Midnight @lenamidnight.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
All the gender critical crew do like to hang out their antiquated views of what societal roles should be. It's astonishing how they can even lay claim to be feminist in the slightest.

It's most definitely a "we're all in it together" response that lifts the heart by simply refusing to see any barriers or differences that matter. And at the same time telling anyone that wishes to focus on those differences to well and truly get lost.

I think I've been care free in that regard online given I'm an easy target anyway in the real world. Though to be honest this is the only social media I really use. I wish we lived in a world where we could all feel free and protected from being potential targets

Feels like we're still in the age of the strongest wins. Police will happily crack down on older peaceful protestors, but won't step into harms way when confronted with too many hard nutters. It certainly doesn't make me feel protected from abuse should it happen.

I initially held back information to protect my child from potential bullying too, for a few reasons. Dropped now as I had to move on and since I don't and can't pass I just have to accept the risks, it's too much to lead a double life. Also hoping to handle that challenge well when it comes

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."
