This KC has the batshit idea that you can win cases by retroactively applying guidance changes onto historical situations. So the NHS and the RCN must discriminate against trans women back then, because we have segregation today. That by not segregating and discriminating back then, they broke rules

This is what it comes down to every time someone ends up in court defending their transphobia. They say their beliefs and free speech are protected, and it turns out they've behaved abominably, in a way their beliefs absolutely don't require. Does anyone know an exception? rtie.org/trans-facts/...

"It is clear that Labour needs the Greens to keep them in check everyday to push them towards the real transformation this country needs." @zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to the Prime Minister's speech at Labour conference.

HOPE IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN, IT NEEDS TO MEAN REAL CHANGE

ZACK POLANSKI
LEADER OF THE GREEN PARTY

"Unlike his predecessor, we have a PM who talks like he gets it. But sadly like his predecessor he isn’t prepared to break from the powerful and wealthy interests that have created an inequality, affordability and a climate crisis.

Hope is not just a slogan, it needs to mean real change. The speech today had no wealth taxes, no rent controls, no water nationalisation and a strong hint of more North Sea drilling.

It is disappointing that we have a country ready to break from the last 40 years, a Labour government with the majority to do it, and yet what we see are more half measures, reannouncements and tinkering."

Pointing out the genuine limitations of a vaccine (non-sterilising; only slightly preventative against Long COVID) isn't being "anti-vaxxer", it's being scientific. (I have had at least one COVID vaccine every year and continue to do so, but they aren't perfect)

I've just learned that some authorities describe the group Araneomorphae as 'true spiders', as distinct from Mygalomorphae (presumably fake spiders) like tarantulas and trap-door spiders, which have downward-pointing fangs. Also, the original tarantulas are no longer part of the 'tarantula' group.

I hope people are noticing the resurgence of fatphobia, which is right on time for fascism. It's just another way of punishing people whose bodies don't conform or perform—fat, trans, BIPOC, disabled/chronic ill, queer. (It's also rooted in anti-Blackness; see Sabrina Strings.)

it's literally a thing that children (both juveniles and adults) will DEFEND their parents, will seek to protect them even from their own negative feelings. for an adult child to totally cut off a parent? do you know how many hopes of "maybe this time will be different" must have been dashed?

to say there's an "epidemic" of children cutting off their parents is like saying there's an epidemic of women abandoning their husbands as changing legal and social norms made it possible for them to leave shitty situations. which I'm sure the media did, too.
