The UK right's current political project is to co-opt the language of antidiscrimination to make bigotry legally unimpeachable.

"What if a competent team of professionals tried to solve problems in line with their genuinely humane values?" is the motivating question behind some of the most beloved science fiction of the twentieth century, yet its rarely emulated.

"Concerns". In narrative and policy terms, the "legitimate concerns" paradigm must be one of the greatest political disasters of the modern era. A racism laundry run by centrist pundits and politicians, which has achieved one thing and one thing only: the mainstreaming of the far right.

It takes a toll.
4 frame comics. first frame shows espresso in a portafilter. second shows a coconut milk carton and a cup to foam milk with a thermometer. 4rd frame shows a small espresso machine making espresso. 4th frame shows a foamy cappuccino in a promotional Frozen the Musical coffee cup. The text, spread over the four frames, reads :
I wish that I could give cis
people a glimpse of what it
feels like. 
to be villainized and
dehumanized in the media
every day.
to see your existence
being legislated against all
around the planet.
to see friends and
family members vote for
politicians who promise to
make the lives of people
like you worse.

Right-wing politics is laden with contradictions, but "We're the movement of authentic, traditional masculinity who have to ask for help sounding tough from the calculator" is one of the funnier ones.

obviously 20 year old me would mostly be like "what the fuck", and also probably "ah shit i might as well get on with it now then" but i think would mostly be impressed at my being 'brave'*, sad at the costs a lot of that has come with, and angry about what 2026 looks like

Interesting. I was just thinking about how constructing a practically unworkable nationwide Gender Stasi to cruelly police 0.5% of the population is probably much more costly than simply letting children enjoy sport and allowing people to piss where they like, but it's funny how we assign value.

I'm not sure how the UK can turn back at this point. The govt says almost nothing about hundreds of men in black blocking a port, police wait 17 hours to comment on racist mobs in Glasgow, and now we are burning building sites because they MIGHT someday house asylum seekers.

The wild thing about this is that, at root, this is every opinion in the UK. Me, my friends and family are real people and we should be treated with kindness and respect. Everyone else is a grifting fake taking money out of my pocket and using up resources that should be mine.

The leadership of Stonewall were quicker to heap praise on Rowling than they have been to show any real fury, urgency, or leadership over the stripping away of trans people’s rights and dignity. An org built to defend us is more comfortable appeasing those who exclude us. Let that sink in!🏳️‍⚧️🫂🏳️‍🌈

If you're trans and work for a sizable UK company or organisation, now is a great time to log into your HR portal and remove any information you can on your sex/gender, e.g. by replacing any information with "prefer not to say".

It's clear there are many people in the Labour Party who do not share the assessment that chasing the cultural-war right while pursuing centre-left economic policy has proven economically, culturally, and politically disastrous. I desperately want to know what they think their current problems are.

Every trans-supporting cis person in the UK needs to make peace with becoming more annoying, persistent, and pedantic than they ever thought possible. EHRC guidance is full of contradictions - they're relying on transphobic compliance out of fear. DON'T GIVE IT TO THEM

Since the concept is being misunderstood and misused, let's talk about what "third-sexing" means as a mechanism of transphobia. I built on an idea first discussed in @juliaserano.bsky.social's "Whipping Girl" that discussed how, interpersonally, cis people refuse to acknowledge our genders.

The Third Sex
“The Gender Binary” is a misnomer; gender has always been a hierarchy.

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.
13.147 A legitimate aim for excluding a trans person from a separate or single-sex service for their own sex might be to prevent discomfort or distress for other service users.

I often see people expressing horror at discrimination, prejudice & hatred when it is racist, antisemitic, homophobic, misogynist, ableist, etc. If those people are not now speaking up/screaming about Labour’s Transphobic Toilet Ban, they don’t really oppose discrimination, prejudice & hatred.
