I’ve now read the CPS consultation response on “deception as to sex”. And I am fucking furious. The CPS actually asked whether its approach properly balanced the rights of trans people to live fully in their acquired gender against the rights of complainants.

At long last, Hekate's Call is now available in paperback and ebook on Amazon! Support women's wrongs today! This is a story about bad people doing harm to each other, falling in love, and realizing maybe there are things worth being better for. Lesbians. Amazon: www.amazon.com/Hekates-Call...
Ilina Falke is left in the lurch when the salvage operation she contracted for goes under in the middle of a routine job. With nowhere else to go, she signs up with the company that nearly put her in the ground with the rest of the corpses she worked with on her old boss's recommendation.

Hekate's Call is a small PMC loaded to the brim with Imperial detritus -- coerced independents, discarded lab-meat, and everyone's most reviled ace pilot -- packing up shop and returning to the core worlds. Not that the details matter to Falke. A year aboard an intersystem mech carrier is a year to figure out what she'll do next, and all she needs to do is keep her head down and do what she's told.

It's just another job until the other pilots decide she's bad for business.

Oh yeah, even with desk pens and very limited time at work I can draw. Guess I'm responding with this today to anyone who doesn't realize if you hurt someone, you can't bully then back into loving you...
An angry donkey, representing a democratic candidate, is standing in a doorway shaking a first at a woman wearing the colours of the trans pride flag who is walking away with a black eye and a small bag. The donkey is yelling, in comic sans, "Bitch you better not leave! What are you going to live on the streets and vote for nobody? You'll regret this! I'LL SEE YOU IN THE CAMPS, BITCH!"
Below the image, a handwritten caption reads "Vote Blue No Matter How Many Times He Hits You!"
The quality of art is pretty poor, though I do think I got the folds in the donkey's shirt correct. I clearly didn't put much time into the drawing, but that's okay because like all political cartoons it's mostly a conceptual piece and I'm more angry about the content than concerned about the form.
Thank you for reading my alt text TED talk!

What the blue no matter who types aren’t getting is a red tie or blue tie makes no difference to trans people. Both are vile. Trying to gaslight us into voting to save themselves - they’re actually pushing us away from abstaining and to making them suffer too by voting to burn it all down anyway.

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.

 Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He’s now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.

His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They don’t have disabled separate toilets.

In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.

He’s been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.

I do not know how to support him and as he’s not in a union there is no one to turn too right now.

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.

So if you’re trans in the UK there’s now no point at all using the NHS for anything. Doesn’t matter if you paid taxes your whole life, jumped through all the hoops the inherently transphobic system asks you to - you get nothing. You even get legal recognition taken away and human rights removed.

A section of a flowchart of the new referral process for gender services with the following text: 
2nd contact via AI referral still required and any changes in information?
Referral still required -> Yes
3rd contact via AI referral still required, any changes in information & admin consents
Referral still required? -> Yes
4th contact AI - referral still required, offer potential transfer for 1st appt or preferred GS?
