Having a skim read of the Sandie Peggie Terfapalooza lawfare tour, RCN union gig. So she has already been caught out telling absolute porkers by her own admission. No idea how this wil lshake out as GCs get the ear of everyone powerful, but crikey, she is a pathological liar.

Hmmm, looks like JK Rowling did another SLAPP. Metro clearly buckled, even though there is enough evidence of her denial of aspects of the Holocaust. You had a perfectly winnable case, where you could have told her to shut the fuck up. www.erininthemorning.com/p/jk-rowling...

On 25 August we published an article which stated that JK Rowling had 'engaged in Holocaust denial'. That allegation was false and should never have been published. Ms Rowling is not a Holocaust denier and has never engaged in Holocaust denial. We withdraw the allegation unreservedly and apologise sincerely to Ms Rowling for this regrettable error."

This is a systematic campaign conducted by the UK state with the intent to end the existence of trans people. It will not and cannot succeed, but it will successfully cause a lot of suffering along the way.

This is something I now hear regularly from almost all my trans friends. The tension between wanting to stay but not feeling safe. The tension between fleeing or fighting. The “what if where I go becomes just as bad?” It’s utterly shameful that law-abiding people feel they’re being forced out.

Another day. Another complaint. This time about the BBC's lack of clarity in its reporting.
Complaint reads: "I am writing regarding your article about Andy Burnham and Bridget Phillipson.

The BBC has previously explained that it uses terms such as "biological male" and "biological female" to provide readers with "clarity". However, this article has left me rather confused.

The article makes no mention whatsoever of the biological sex of either Andy Burnham or Bridget Phillipson. As a result, I have no idea whether Mr Burnham is biologically male, whether Ms Phillipson is biologically female, or indeed whether either of them identifies as such.

Could the BBC please contact both individuals to verify their biological sex and update the article accordingly?"

This hit hard. I had FFS earlier this year and was totally prepared to do the Lisa Simpson cackling in the mirror routine if I wasn't happy with the result. Lucky for me it turned out great!
Lisa Simpson demands "The mirror!" at the dentist after getting braces, before cackling like a maniac at her own hideous reflection.

Disagree with lots of this, including the central argument, but it's very thoughtful. The best single idea in it is this: "Any platform that uses an algorithm more complex than ‘people you follow in chronological order’ to be treated as a publisher, and held to account for content."

For business owners, the important part of the new ECHR advice is this: 13.179: There is no type of official record or document in the UK which provides reliable evidence of sex. [...] Therefore, it is unlikely to be proportionate or practical to ask for further evidence of a person’s sex.

The people who came to Brianna's vigil were the many friends, as an isolated trans girl, she had made on social media. The people who were convicted of her murder knew her in real life, and used transphobic slurs to discuss her.

Funny that. When the Cass report came out and there was an opportunity to destroy an entire area of trans healthcare it was wall-to-wall headlines and opinion pieces. Now the Levy review says "current system just needs improved and lower waiting lists"... silence. Crickets. Open editorial bias.

If the reporting on the Peggie decision tells us anything, it should be that the way news gets reported in this country has little to do with truth, and much more to do with narrative - as well as whose heavily spun press release lands on journos desks first.

Updated my passport with several years left on it this month, for exactly the same reason. My guess is since birth certificates aren't proof of ID, when the new EHRC 'guidance' comes in they will have to use passports as ID. Which implies they will prevent trans people from updating their markers.

You're doing great work. I've discovered a lot of new trans authors through you. Thank you. What's stressing me out: being in the UK, the BS the labour government is forcing through that will likely take away my right rights. Scrambling to sort out all my paperwork before they ban transitioning.

The times frame this title and byline to make out that thousands of police will be enforcing exclusionary policies. But the article clearly states this is the staff facilities. "Police Scotland workplaces must be accessed and used on the basis of a person’s biological sex"
Screenshot of a "The Times" webpage. The headline reads, "Police Scotland bans trans people from single-sex spaces." The article text reads, "Thousands of officers and staff have been instructed to restrict access to single-sex spaces based on biological sex, in line with the Supreme Court ruling." A bullet point reads "NEW".
