Lisa Frankenstein was the next installment of spooky season movies for my wife and I. Thoroughly fantastic. Absurd, funny and sometimes poignant. Kathryn Newton gives me Joan Cusack vibes. Definitely one to add to the watch again list!

Occasionally I'll have a dream which involves leaving the car somewhere, and instead of being in a proper spot it's very much "park it like you stole it" – then it stresses me out for the entire remainder of the dream as I worry it's going to get towed.

“It is very appalling and sometimes quite frightening to see how trans-exclusionary feminists have allied with rightwing attacks on gender” Today is exactly 5 years since @theguardian.com censored the words of non-binary academic, Judith Butler. These are the censored words. Still valid now.
It is very appalling and sometimes quite frightening to see how trans-exclusionary feminists have allied with rightwing attacks on gender. The anti-gender ideology movement is not opposing a specific account of gender, but seeking to eradicate "gender" as a concept or discourse, a field of study, an approach to social power. Sometimes they claim that "sex" alone has scientific standing, but other times they appeal to divine mandates for masculine domination and difference. They don't seem to mind contradicting themselves.
The Terfs (trans exclusionary radical feminists) and the so-called gender critical writers have also rejected the important work in feminist philosophy of science showing how culture and nature interact (such as Karen Barad, Donna Haraway, EM Hammonds or Anne Fausto-Sterling) in favor of a regressive and spurious form of biological essentialism. So they will not be part of the coalition that seeks to fight the anti-gender movement. The anti-gender ideology is one of the dominant strains of fascism in our times. So the Terfs will not be part of the contemporary struggle against fascism, one that requires a coalition guided by struggles against racism, nationalism, xenophobia and carceral violence, one that is mindful of the high rates of femicide throughout the world, which include high rates of attacks on trans and genderqueer people.
The anti-gender movement circulates a spectre of "gender" as a force of destruction, but they never actually read any works in gender studies. Quick and fearful conclusions take the place of considered judgments. Yes, some work on gender is difficult and not everyone can read it, so we have to do better in reaching a broader public. As important as it is, however, to make complex concepts available to a popular audience, it is equally important to encourage intellectual inquiry as part of public life. Unfortunately, we are living in anti-intellectual times, and neo-fascism is becoming more normalized.

I'm assuming everyone else is having the same feeling that everything is just a lot right now (and has been for quite a while)? I know there are people that have it a lot worse than I do but sometimes it's just everything I can do to keep going (and sometimes even then too much).

Politics is fundamentally about whose interests are promoted, whose needs are met and how power and wealth are apportioned. If there’s no discussion about this in politics and there is instead relentless hateful screaming at various menacing internal enemies, it should be clear what is happening.

So often what are called "culture wars" are one set of people saying "please can we live without perpetual persecution" and another saying "no, f*** you" but the press considering the latter group have "legitimate concerns" and must be perpetually platformed

The gatekeeping of trans women from healthcare isn't seen as medical misogyny for cissexist reasons, even though it's really obvious in some cases---like our fucking BMI being an ironclad rubric that clinics simply will not budge on when we're trying to get surgery.

When Wes Streeting placed a ban on puberty blockers he said that those adolescents already receiving NHS care would not be impacted. He lied. Those young people are now facing forced destransition & forced enrollment in the new youth Gender Service which can only offer (conversion) therapy.

Remember that the NHS told trans kids, who were currently on endocrine care, that they would be allowed to continue. Now it looks like they’re withdrawing that as well. The NHS is a danger to everyone in the trans community.
The UK ban on puberty blockers
As of March 2024 puberty blockers are banned in the UK to treat gender dysphoria in under-18s. This decision followed the much discredited Cass Review. A government website describes the ban as the "sale and supply of puberty blockers via private prescriptions for the treatment of gender incongruence and/or gender dysphoria to be banned indefinitely in the UK for under 18s."
The website also mentions that
NHS patients who are already receiving these medicines for gender incongruence and/or gender dysphoria can continue to access them, as can patients receiving the medicines for other uses.
This means treatments that have already started should not be stopped suddenly, and patients already taking puberty blockers should still be able to obtain them and access healthcare via normal NHS routes. GPs were advised at the time of the ban to continue prescriptions from the private sector if they felt comfortable doing so
