Donald Trump posted on Truth Social calling Dr Annie Andrews a transphobic slur this week, and her response is to ensure everyone knows she hates trans people too. Christ, the Democrats are fucking pathetic.

I know several trans people who have fled the U.K. over the last few years because of its sharp descent into transphobia The most recent is the parent of a trans child - who I have personally known for 10 years - who are uprooting their entire family to move to Australia.

You can tell this is all bullshit by the quote marks in the headline. If it wasn't bullshit they wouldn't need to quote someone talking bullshit, they could just print their headline. TBF the trans activists bit is also bullshit as it's just trans people.

"Transgender rights activists are spreading misinformation about guidance that protects single-sex spaces by claiming it erodes trans people’s rights, the equalities regulator has said." [Times page 2]
Trans activists ‘wrong over single-sex code’
Geraldine Scott - Assistant Political Editor
Transgender rights activists are spreading misinformation about guidance that protects single-sex spaces by claiming it erodes trans people’s rights, the equalities regulator has said.

Mary-Ann Stephenson, chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), said criticism of its updated code of practice had made the “real alarm” felt by trans people worse by wrongly suggesting they had lost protections or would face sex checks.

Stephenson said women had also been affected by not having access to single-sex spaces. She said: “Women who believe that their right to privacy, dignity or safety have not been properly protected deserve to have those concerns taken seriously too.”

Last week the Liberal Democrats passed a conference motion branding the code discriminatory and “unworkable”.

At Labour’s conference Joanne Thomas, the general secretary of the Usdaw union and chairwoman of Labour Unions, said the law and the EHRC code would hurt trans and nonbinary people and argued that rights had been rolled back.

Stephenson said the code did not create new law or abolish protections for transgender people.

She said: “Recognising women’s need for access to single-sex services doesn’t require us to dismiss the rights of trans people. And recognising the vulnerability of trans people doesn’t require us to dismiss women’s concerns.”

The EHRC’s code of practice came into force in August, 16 months after the Supreme Court ruled that sex in relation to the Equality Act must be defined biologically. This means single-sex lavatories, changing rooms, hospital wards and refuges must be used based on a person’s birth sex, not the gender with which they identify.

The Good Law Project, which is backing a legal challenge against the code, accused the EHRC of producing “discriminatory” and “unworkable” guidance and said service providers which followed it would be “helping to strip trans pe…

I'm just going to leave this here, it's a network graph showing Mary-Ann's connections in the gender-critical world. Given that she's already deeply embedded in anti-trans activity, it's difficult to judge her on anything but that.
A network diagram with Mary Ann Stephenson at the centre, showing her  connections to several prominent anti-trans campaigns, and then the huge number of other terfs connected to them.

Yes there are lots of brilliant trans people and allies fighting. But actually, as a collective society we have no need to do this. There is no serious economic or security context pushing us into this like other political decisions - it’s just pure cruelty and discrimination.

even "friendly" cis people despise us on a visceral level. If that weren't the case we'd have fewer bigots to deal with because allies would make it a problem for them. But I don't see that, instead I see angry bigots marching down the aisle in Publix straight at me, excited to say a slur.
