I don’t know Cal, but I do know trans people who have fled the UK in the last couple of years, and others who are actively making plans to do so. I’m not sure I know any who haven’t at least considered whether it might be an option.

we can't move anything forward if we constantly have to drag around this dead weight of endlessly saying what neoliberalism is, and how they always try to say nice little things that sound Sensible and Managerial & Just Controversial Enough while rolling over lives with an industrial thresher.

Public perception does not make a concern "legitimate". There are a growing number of people who believe the earth is flat. That doesn't mean we should take them seriously any more than those who claim "legitimate concerns" over immigration. 13/ pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/why...

Why do some people believe the Earth is flat?
Although science says the Earth is round, there are some people around who still think it's flat; two University of Melbourne experts look at why.

Every time a company announces that their LLM is sentient, arrest everyone working there for attempted slavery. If the model actually was sentient, they’d be keeping it as a slave. If they claim it’s sentient, they’re claiming to believe that they’re slave owners.

So 285 villagers vote in a silly poll and the government hears the “roar”. 1000 people attend a mass lobby for trans equality at Westminster, and nothing. Changes that affect your community can be distressing, Lisa. Like segregation, healthcare bans, new education policy, new prison policy…
From the BBC News article “Village votes to leave UK over asylum housing plan”

Responding to the village saying it had
"roared"
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told
BBC Breakfast: "I think they have - we have heard it, we are listening.
"I do really understand that when changes are made that affect your community it can be very distressing.”

The test is "Are trans people allowed to exist?" and if you don't give a resounding YES, it means that somewhere in your head is a space marked, "Some people shouldn't be allowed to exist." And now none of us can trust that your definition of "some people" won't expand.

Whenever we see someone post that they're stopping their donation to the RNLI, like some right-wing virtue-signalling flex, we can't help but think of this. You can donate to the RNLI here: buff.ly/bsku22S
Only 1.2% of RNLI calls are for asylum seekers in the Channel — red poster arguing that cancelling RNLI donations equates to saying "I hate migrants... I'm willing to jeopardise the lives of the other 98.8% of rescues," followed by the sarcastic "Lovely people, right?"

Important to remember today: If ANY Labour MP talks about “respecting” the Supreme Court misjudgement, they are *lying* to you. Parliament can overturn ANY SC decision & the government can amend the Equality Act to include trans people. The SC misjudgement still stands because Labour WANTS it to.

I am so so sorry, and I will remove you from my list. JK Rowling is not involved in our game in any way, but I completely understand and appreciate the call out.

I appreciate that. But to be clear, it's not about whether
