Zara B @zara75-75.bsky.social · 22/08/20261/2 Apparently JK Rowling has now clarified that some trans adults may find peace through hormones and surgery. I keep seeing this treated as a moment of significance. Why? I do not require JK Rowling’s permission, approval or understanding in order to exist. 120
Zara B @zara75-75.bsky.social · 21/08/20261/12 There is a curious victimhood at work here. Gender-critical campaigners invoke the Equality Act as though s.10 grants not merely protection for belief, but immunity for every way they choose to express it. It does not. 231
Zara B @zara75-75.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Trans people deserve equality. I'm joining the mass lobby on 9th September. The government wants us to accept laws that are broken quietly. We won’t. www.transsolidarityalliance.com/mass-lobby-2...transsolidarityalliance.comMass Lobby for Trans Equality - 9th September 2026The law around trans equality is fundamentally broken.

Reposted by Zara BAidan Comerford @aidancomerford.bsky.social · 11/08/2026This blog was written by the guy who edited Graham Linehan's memoir who is simply flabbergasted to find that the bulk of his "gender critical" allies support a racist bookshop in his locality, and yet, cannot find the obvious conclusion: the GC movement is bigoted. 1/ kaygreen.blog/2026/08/09/t...kaygreen.blogThe alarming tale of the far right bookshop in rural SuffolkGuest blogger Simon Edge was horrified to find a far-right bookshop on his doorstep.

Zara B @zara75-75.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Shock horror: Hugh Laurie joins the gender-critical chorus. And the response says it all: “you can almost taste the TRA tears.” There it is. Not safeguarding, not principle: tribalism and the pleasure of seeing trans people hurt. Laurie has simply chosen his side. 020
Reposted by Zara Bflyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 09/08/2026This is it. Their big idea was: we will end the culture wars by conceding to the crank right across the board, on everything. As they were repeatedly warned, the crank right always banks every concession then demands more and crazier things, now emboldened because they know we are weak and stupid. 12563164

Zara B @zara75-75.bsky.social · 06/08/20261/1/11 Sharon Davies' endorsement of Kathleen Stock is instructive. A young woman's walking stick is converted into a "concerning trend". Her disability is not examined. Her credibility is placed on trial before any evidence is heard. 131
Zara B @zara75-75.bsky.social · 06/08/20261/6 Well, there it is. What begins with trans people rarely remains confined to trans people. Once society accepts that one minority may be treated as deluded, contagious or fraudulent, the machinery does not retire. It looks for its next subject. 192

Zara B @zara75-75.bsky.social · 05/08/2026“Judge me by my actions” you say. Very well. The EHRC has converted statutory interpretation into prescriptive exclusion, declaring trans inclusion “very likely” unlawful although the Court ordered no blanket exclusion and expressly disclaimed policymaking. That is regulatory overreach. 0123
Zara B @zara75-75.bsky.social · 05/08/20261/14 Today the EHRC Code takes effect. It is restrictive, serious and open to challenge. But begin with law, not the triumphalism of those pretending trans people have been outlawed. We have not. Gender reassignment remains a protected characteristic under the Equality Act. 130

Zara B @zara75-75.bsky.social · 04/08/20261/4 I am astounded by the canonisation of Rod Liddle. He argued for decriminalising the viewing of child sexual abuse material and wrote that he could not imagine becoming a secondary-school teacher without trying to “shag the kids”. These were his published words, not allegations. 111
Zara B @zara75-75.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Meanwhile laying on my sofa this evening, immersed in Tchaikovsky: the blazing Violin Concerto and the tender, intimate Souvenir d’un lieu cher. Janine Jansen, Daniel Harding and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra make every phrase feel alive. An amazing, exhilarating end to the day. 000
Zara B @zara75-75.bsky.social · 03/08/2026The irony is grotesque. The self-styled “protectors of women and girls” are eulogising Rod Liddle: a man who argued against criminalising the viewing of child sexual-abuse images, wrote about trying to have sex with school pupils, and accepted a police caution for assaulting his pregnant partner. 020

Zara B @zara75-75.bsky.social · 01/08/20261/12 I’ve been thinking about what a recent exchange with a self-described cis-het trans ally revealed. This goes beyond one unpleasant argument. It concerns an allyship that supports trans people in the abstract while reserving the right to decide when we may defend ourselves. 171
