Many asking this question but I am more confused about how someone who identifies as a lesbian uses he/him pronouns.

1/🧵 From the agenda for next week’s meeting at NHS Wales. But we can assume the arbitrary decision to “pause” referrals was made on a summary of the same information. And, after a month, there is still nothing of substance that can be presented. Sorry, but people should lose their job for this.

Life really is a series of incessant disappointments. Sometimes you'll be like "oh well it was too hot and dry this summer but at least there weren't too many wasps" and some poindexter will be like "actually the tiny flapping wings of the wasp are what keeps the world rotating on its axis" PISS OFF

There's a hell of a lot of problems in society where a significant cause is that people are fearful of enacting consequences for wrongdoing because the wrongdoers will lie about what they're being punished for. The solution isn't to not punish them, it's to be loud & clear about what they did wrong

What on god's green earth is wrong with these people? This might have been a decent argument if they hadn't heavily undermined it by failing to act as the EHRC and the courts gutted the Equality Act on several counts already

jon ronson has written a book about men who go crazy online and he's dedicated an entire chapter to graham linehan. graham is not going to like the observer review.
Ronson’s account of Graham Linehan is another harrowing tale of a man’s life ruined by the internet. Linehan was a beloved comedy writer, co-creator of Father Ted, and a prolific presence on Twitter, where he was well liked and respected. Then, in 2013, something began to shift, when an episode of his sitcom The IT Crowd, first broadcast in 2008, was repeated. In it, a man discovers his girlfriend is transgender and a brawl breaks out between the two. Viewers did not like the display of violence nor the supposed implication that the trans woman was “really” a man, underlying maleness bursting forth uncontrollably once she is angry.

Linehan responded to criticism with polite bafflement, then defensiveness, and finally overt anger. He began to research transgender issues and developed a singular obsession with the topic, which has since gone on to comprehensively destroy his career and personal life. Linehan, who believes trans activism and indeed ordinary trans existence pose an existential threat to women, talks of little else (except, these days, a fervent pro-Israel stance). He tweets near-constantly, cloaking his obsession with supposed concern for the wellbeing of cisgender women, but he does not balk at aggressively insulting those women who disagree with him.Linehan’s self-ignited ruin stopped being satisfying for even his opponents to watch a while back, and now is only profoundly depressing. Ronson was once a good friend, but in refusing to endorse Linehan’s beliefs about transgender issues, he was added to his long list of his enemies. In The Castle, Ronson speaks to him directly, having been attacked countless times on Linehan’s social media feed. One thing that becomes clear, beyond the truly abject state of Linehan’s wellbeing, is that he is able to persevere with his campaign because he has convinced himself he is battling the greatest danger currently at play in the world. At one point he suggests that there are so many fewer serial killers nowadays because all the sociopaths have migrated to the internet in order to argue with him about trans issues instead. It reminded me of religious protesters screaming at me in Dublin once, as I walked into a reproductive-rights clinic that provided information about abortion. I was furious, but then forced myself to think about how I would feel or act if I truly, earnestly believed that every abortion is equivalent to the murder of a child. That might, indeed, drive me mad.

The Linehan chapter is brilliant: insightful, candid and moving. I’m still not convinced that any broader crisis of masculinity or male purpose had much to do with Linehan’s downfall, though. He wasn’t at a loss or empty of purpose when he began his campaign. He didn’t turn to vitriol because he didn’t have anything else to do. His case is, if anything, notable for involving a man with an enviable life and abundant success throwing it away for reasons that to many in the outside world may seem obscure or deranged.

I genuinely would like a facility where you can basically tag other vehicles such that so that your own car/bike/whatever could recognise them next time you see them and flag whether they were good or bad, so you can decide whether to let them out of a sideroad etc

Never will you get a clearer example of how transphobia and misogyny come from the exact same place as what these dumbasses are doing. They get to mock trans women and women's sport with one stunt and they love it.

Since I'm posting takes here's another one - the nature of bad road users have changed considerably in the last 30yrs and these people can't accept it. 'Boy racers', if they do still exist, are driving fast on quiet country roads where they don't bother many people...

Katelyn is entirely right here, although I don't expect they'll listen. One of the biggest problems in the entire Anglosphere trans panic has been organisations having policy they never made sure their leadership would stand behind. The result being they abandon it at the first opportunity

Right-wingers don’t see trans people as a “distraction”, they see attacks on trans people as a key part of their political ideology. Liberals and centrists see trans people as a “distraction”, because they don’t give a shit about the safety, protection or rights of trans people.

I know some people like to get overly exercised by opinion polls which purport to say that public support for trans rights is lower than it used to be. These polls matter as much as they did when support for trans rights was very high i.e. Not at all

The massive thing that people miss on things like this is that it takes skilled people an immense amount of time to do this. Those people need to be given that time to do it and that takes money. Dark money has been paying skilled GCs good wages for years to do this full time. None of us have that
