If we live in a country where such false allegations can be made by public figures about trans people with impunity, we are truely going backwards.

… cleared Beth Upton of any wrongdoing (there were no sexual allegations about Upton) in the Peggie employment tribunal and found that the predator / harasser was Peggie who had preyed on Upton.
Toxicity Warning - The Lunatic Fringe
In the same week that we have main stream lesbians showing responsibility and inclusiveness via DIVA magazine, we have Martina Navratilova using her platform to call trans Doctor Beth Upton a sexual predator.
It should be remembered that the Dundee tribunal …
Trouble with “he’s a decent guy who’s out of his depth” is most of Starmer’s failures are moral ones. Child benefit cap, Mandelson, the Gaza siege, the pledges. If what separates you from your stated principles is how it’ll play in the Daily Mail, it’s hard to argue you are in fact a decent person.
We've written a detailed response to the proposed schools guidance – which we are concerned may encourage schools to unlawfully discriminate against trans kids.

The News Agents @thenewsagents.... 34m "We knew that Boris Johnson was a cad and bounder, we thought Starmer would be a straight-shooter - maybe a little dull, but dull was fine. "But he's fallen short on the standards that he's set himself"
Just say “we thought he was great because he was going to stomp like a bastard all over the left, a thing we were all baying to see happen ASAP. We didn’t realise he was also embarrassingly incompetent and detached from reality”. That’s what happened, it’s why you thought he was great!
I finally moved the TV stand about 2" this week so that I don't get the glare on it. It'd always been maximised for P's viewing, and it's only just struck me that it's mostly just me watching these days.
tweet by JK Rowling Nothing's changed. I was being honest about how I feel about an individual trans woman I know, who was a gay man pre-transition, and who I met for the first time post-transition. Objectively speaking, she has physical characteristics that make it fairly obvious she wasn't born female, but she's a gentle, funny person I've never referred to as anything other than 'she' and 'her'. I find it perfectly easy to reconcile my fond feelings towards her, and my experience of her as someone with very female-coded energy, with a belief that she hasn't literally changed sex (and incidentally, she doesn't believe she's literally changed sex, either).
JK Rowling admitting that she won't be transphobic to you as a trans woman if you are "gentle" and "funny" and you have "female-coded energy."
What on earth is "female-coded energy"? Doesn't this strongly suggest that Rowling is a conservative woman who expects women to be a certain way?
A small point from the Mandelson/Robbins saga. Refom and many Tories argue for a civil service than can be more easily bent to the will and whims of their elected political masters.
This is precisely what happened here.
At this point the only reason to call it the Labour Party is it lasts too long, hurts like hell, and people keep popping in and out to check on your genitals.
If they think I'm going to be intimidated by deliberately misgendering on mail sent to my home they are in for a shock!
I do not bow to threats, In fact I'm off to use a female bathroom that it is my legal and human right to use.
I will always be a woman. Fact!
Margaret Hodge, who was given a peerage by Keir Starmer, says there's nothing wrong with cronyism.
Hodge is currently the governments official anti corruption champion.

There’s ppl on the NDIS for psychosocial conditions where if the supports are withdrawn they will be a threat themselves & others, costing millions in damages. Framing supports as only open to ppl with “profound disability” exposes the stereotypes and prejudices in public understanding of disability
Beyond anything else, Starmer's complete betrayal of the legally mandated human rights of trans people, and his own previous stated principles to uphold and respect the same, prove him an untrustworthy liar ready to abandon the ECHR whenever the press and his advisors tell him to.
If you're a cis person who thinks that Starmer and his government being appalling on trans human rights is a non-issue because 'nobody's perfect', rather than a telling insight into a fundamental lack of respect for basic human rights law, and a necessary warning for all people to heed...well.
As harmful autism disinformation campaigns go, grievance parents‘ attempt to break off “ #profoundAutism” as a separate diagnosis via smearing #neurodiversity advocates is notable—mostly for its spitefulness. Select observations by @embergreen.bsky.social:

Can we talk about how harassment and borderline stalking of trans women by gender critical activists has become entirely normalised?
Why can’t a trans woman do a bloody Parkrun without having her privacy violated and her data amassed on a website?!
Their argument is that you should assume 30mph unless stated otherwise. But when a road has been 40mph for at least 30 years it looks like it's deliberate to increase fine revenue.
It also hasn't stopped fatal accidents, as those who ignored 40 also ignore 30.
The speed limit on a dual carriageway near me was lowered to 30mph last August. The council deliberately did not put up new signage, and some satnavs still show it as 40mph.
That'll catch a few people...
It's Stephen Lawrence Day. Everyone should familiarise themselves with the way he, Duwayne Brooks and his family were failed by the state. Crooked police, lawyers, press and politician. It's more corrupt than you remember, I promise you that

My own answer to this pretty odd question would be that I wouldn’t choose to taser anyone.
Who would? And framing this around political opponents is really problematic.

Double-take detail in this interview with Edith Heard, head of the Crick
Her French husband decided against getting a spouse visa because of the UK's "intrusive" immigration rules
If that's happening with one of the UK's most senior scientists, how many others are being put off completely?
I very rarely do petitions, but please sign this one. Reverse the visa brake on Study Visas for citizens of Myanmar.

They'll try. It will take a concerted effort and non-compliance to defeat the Un-silent Minority who are determined to eradicate trans people from public life.
we all know I have no life, so:
Al Jazeera’s Labour Files and The Forde Report, which was commissioned by Starmer, and was subsequently ignored by Labour leadership, both found that whilst it was a problem, it was nowhere near levels of anti Black and anti Islamic racism suffered by female members of the party 2/2
