Sandy Peggie's daughter is crying about her hateful mother having an awful time. Living it up on holiday, hosted by JKR, adored by the press. Not a hard life at all. Dr Beth Upton is the one who had an awful time. Leaving the country, hiding away and being vilified and attacked wherever she goes.

Naomi Cunningham has become so unhinged about trans people that she's making Sarah Phillimore look reasonable. Taking pictures of - or filming - people in a public toilet with the explicit purpose of posting online to shame them is almost certainly illegal Naomi.

I realise this is a clear troll but this is just incorrect. Caroline cossey ans April Ashley used women’s spaces in the 70s. When the UK government defended itself (and lost) at ECtHR they defended themselves by saying that trans women were accommodated in female hospital wards and prisons

I realise I repeat this on like a daily basis, but please me restate it again - the ‘status quo’ in the UK for decades was trans inclusion. What we have now is not really precedented for a 21st century democracy.

Folk criticising trans people in the US for being pissed off at Democrats for shoving them under the bus while chasing more right-wing votes, maybe take a look at the UK. Brits were convinced to get rid of the Tories at any cost & we've had 2 years of the nastiest anti-trans Labour government.

Looks like there is genuinely nothing more than in the nick Wallis article. They've cancelled everyone's surgery indefinitely because one transphobe complained. the Welsh service sees and refers more patients than English clinics. So all those surgeries are cancelled. No patient safety concerns.

Welcome to the UK, where using the magic word ‘trans’, allows you to skip standard process with no evidence of harm or wrongdoing. Just send a complaint! We all know they wouldn’t take the same action for any other form of healthcare. @plaidcymru.bsky.social cavuhb.nhs.wales/our-services...

What evidence is there that patients were referred inappropriately?
At this stage, it is not known if patients have been referred inappropriately. The purpose of the Independent Clinical Review is to assess this.

Have any patients undergone surgery inappropriately?
At this stage, the NWJCC has not identified any patients who have undergone surgery inappropriately.
However, there are cases where patients have been referred into the surgical pathway but have not gone on to have surgery, including where NHS England providers have identified that referral criteria had not been met. It is also recognised that concerns have been raised by some patients about the referral
process.
The purpose of the current review is to better understand these concerns and provide assurance that patients are being appropriately supported, assessed and referred, and that the necessary clinical governance arrangements are in place.

Does this mean patients may have come to harm?
No immediate patient safety concerns have been identified by the NWJCC, and therefore they are not concluding that patients have come to harm.
However, concerns have been raised through complaints to the NWJCC, correspondence, and other information received about the gender affirming surgery pathway. As a precautionary measure, referrals, surgical assessments, and surgery are paused while further review work is undertaken.
These prompt actions have been taken to ensure any potential risks
are identified and addressed as quickly as possible, and that patients continue to receive safe and high-quality care.

A reminder that this all started circa 2015/16 with “legitimate concerns” over some small and trivial reforms to the Gender Recognition Act. That evolved into transgendercide. We were told by many at the time that we were too ferocious in our response, but evidently we did not go hard enough.

Every time I see an American claim that trans people kill their own support, I think about how in the UK, self ID polled majority support until the media attacked it. When Labour accepted self ID should die, we were told to let them win, it would get better. Now we have a bathroom ban. Fuck you.

Well, this was inevitable. Forstater is now using her own case to argue that racism should/is protected as a philosophical belief 🤮

"Even comments which are “serious, severely hurtful and
prejudicial”are covered by Article 10 of the European Convention on Human rights (freedom of expression) which doesn't mean absolute freedom of expression in a situations, but employers should treat beliefs equally.

As the judge said in my case even beliefs that are profoundly distressing and offensive to many others are beliefs that must be tolerated in a pluralist society."

"Cofnas's hereditarian belief has already been found to be "worthy of respect in a democratic society" by a court in the UK.

Though not binding in Belgium, but its anti-discrimination law is based on the same principle.

Still it's better to have a good job than a good legal case.

Ghent uni could string out the suspension - the process is the punishment.

If there are calls for a staff member to be discriminated against because of their beliefs the answer should be No (unless the belief falls below the v low threshold for belief discrimination), not "oh well if 2000 people object..."

The most absurd thing about the legal reasoning behind the UK's descent into transphobia is that it rests on the idea that the Equality Act was always meant to be interpreted this way, and not just activists, but the EHRC, the lower courts, and Parilament itself have always been wrong about it. 1/3

I think there's a view which circulates in some quarters, perhaps even especially on the socdem left, that mere mention of trans rights is somehow electoral anathema. I don't know. I don't think so, because how else will we marginalise the support of our eradication? It's the moral thing to do.

Goodwin v UK was *explicitly* about how Goodwin's employer discovering she was trans led to a violation of Article 8. The GRA therefore was created in part to prevent employers outing trans staff. The idea they now *have* to do so for pay gap data, and that isn't a breach despite Goodwin? Nonsense.
