The Heritage Foundation laid out how they were going to rescind Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, by first targeting trans people's participation in sport. Capitulating on the human rights of transgender people is catastrophically falling at the first hurdle.

The 8am phone scramble if you need to see a GP in the UK is explicitly ableist for people with a number of disabilities, inc #mecfs, and/or ND. You want me to speak to someone at 8, I'll have to be up at 6. In real terms that means I won't get any sleep the night before. That will f me up for days.

I've actually lost quite a bit from transition. I no longer talk to my parents, and it's become substantially harder (though not impossible) for me to get journalism work. But I sort of don't notice any of that? My life is endlessly better in all the ways that matter.

For those unaware, the current GC discourse is whether it's acceptable to harass a trans woman sat on a bench in public (nowhere near any sort of women's space, or service, or sports) solely for the crime of wearing a dress in public. Just reasonable concerns.

How having a disability became cool
Young women, nicknamed ‘sickfluencers’, are turning chronic illness into a lifestyle trend and entrenching a culture of economic inactivity

Young women are also more likely to get caught up in “social contagion” – the spontaneous spread of behaviours or emotions previously observed by sociologists in “outbreaks” of bulimia, self-harm and transgender ideology. What may have otherwise been transitory feelings are seized upon and obsessed over until they form a central pillar of a person’s identity. A chronic-illness influencer won’t want to get “better” any more than a female-bodied transgender person would want to re-identify with their sex.

The entire article is just vaguely sourced anecdotes from social media. "Doctors have been cast as bigots" OK by whom, how so, why does this matter? The only "expert" cited is another columnist for the same fucking newspaper.

When sickness becomes integral to a person’s self-image, we shouldn’t be surprised that they fiercely defend that identity. Doctors, instead of providing much-needed support for a patient, have been cast as old-fashioned bigots standing in the way of an individual’s “self-actualisation”.

Dr Katie Musgrave, a general practitioner, has seen this phenomenon first-hand. She describes a “hyper-awareness of physical symptoms like fatigue and a racing heart” from patients who visit her seeking an explanation for their pain, with an expectation that there will be a single, incontrovertible diagnosis. Often though, she says, it is more likely that factors such as “a lack of sleep and exercise and a poor diet” are causing the patient’s symptoms, and these can be resolved with minimal medical intervention.

Extract from BBC website:

"We appreciate the frustration of those who have been impacted today. Access to the port is now restored and traffic is flowing. Those travelling to the port are advised to allow for extra travel time and to follow guidance from providers.
"We thank policing partners and travel providers who we continue to work with to ensure the safety of passengers and the wider community."

Delegates at UNISON's local government conference passed a landmark motion titled 'defending trans, non-binary and gender diverse rights in local government workplaces, with passionate speeches drawing repeated applause from the conference floor and not a single vote cast against the motion.
The debate came amid growing concern over the impact of recent Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) guidance and what many delegates described as a broader political attack on trans rights and equality protections.
Speakers warned that if the EHRC's proposals become embedded in law, the consequences for trans and gender diverse workers across local government could be profound. "If this guidance is allowed to harden into law, the consequences for our members will be severe," delegates heard.
The impact of the draft guidance is already being felt by trans workers.
"We're already seeing issues on whether trans people can safely access facilities they've been using for years, without any issue," one speaker said. "It means having to out yourself every time you need to use the loo. It means fear. Work is already difficult enough.
Like us, they face high workloads, poor pay and stress. But now they're being politically targeted in the workplace."

UNISON
The conference heard repeated arguments that the debate extends far beyond questions of facilities and access.
"These attacks are never really about toilets, are they?" said one speaker. "They are about policing bodies. They're about rolling back equality rights!"
Delegates warned that any weakening of protections for trans people would ultimately threaten rights for wider groups of workers.
Several speakers delivered fierce criticisms of the
EHRC guidance itself, describing it as an unprecedented rollback of rights. One delegate characterised the proposals as "institutionalised transphobia across public institutions", highlighting that they would exclude trans women from spaces and services available to others, while legitimising intrusive questioning about a person's sex.
"We are more than our bodies. Cis women aren't defined by their wombs any more than anybody else, or by their ability to give birth.!"
The speaker argued that the issue formed part of a wider assault on equality protections. "This attack isn't really an attack on our sexual identity. It's part of a wider war. It's an attack on all our equalities. As a cis woman, my rights aren't undermined by my trans colleagues. They're undermined by the politicians who closed down the nurseries, by the bosses who maintain the gender pay gap, and by the far-right bigots who try to divide us.!"
The debate concluded with a call for employers to move beyond minimum legal compliance and actively defend trans, non-binary and gender diverse workers.
"Trans people should not have to fight for their right to exist peacefully when they clock in," conference heard.
The policy was carried unanimously, with no delegates voting against it.
Opposing the EHRC guidance: we need your voice

It’s vital he secures Tory support as he only has a parliamentary super-majority of 167 seats.

Burnham offers to work with Tories on getting welfare spending down
Kemi Badenoch starts by congratulating the PM “on his stamina – three hours”. (That generates some laughter.) She asks if Burnham can name a single spending request to which he said no.

Burnham says he was clear about the need to get welfare spending down.

It is not right to have so many young people on benefits. He wants to invest in their success.

This is an area where both parties can engage “in problem solving, not point scoring’.
