First saw this story over on Threads, and people really, really, really did not like anyone correcting misinformation about their misreading of the story. We seem to be moving to some sort of post-reality where people just want fake stories that reinforce their beliefs.
This is so absurd. You cannot be the head of a LGBTQ org and praise Rowling like this. She's a vile cess pit of bigotry.
Have uninstalled the BBC news app. Off to find an alt.
Not In Our Name's letter is at over 99,000 signatures; with less than 1000 signatures to go until 100,000!

She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since.
But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.

Two people setting up a far right rally on the steps of Norwich City Hall.
A crowd of roughly 20 fascist protestors on the steps of Norwich City Hall.
Pathetic attempt by the fash to bring their hate to Norwich! Our fine city is blithely ignoring them. And the local press totally exaggerated their likely numbers. Credulous fools. #norwich
Jesse Singal: spends an entire decade trying to uncover a massive wave of desisters & detransitioners that never materialized
also Jesse Singal: "trans people are the real conspiracy theorists!"
People making jokes that women can't throw as well as men, due to the trans ban in darts, and I'm here to tell you that is exactly what they believe and the reasons they believe it are as stupid as you'd expect
AI and Irrational Modernisation.
In this essay...
I wonder how many government AI projects are being done in a way that approaches user centred design? I wonder how many are getting to ignore "all the time wasting stuff, because AI is so big and powerful we just need it installed yesterday, get out of the way!" I wonder.

"Rowling has fashioned herself into a very powerful enemy of transness. Her intellectual properties, particularly the ones under her control that she directly profits from, are thus, in a very literal sense, tools of the enemy"

Pure propaganda for the BBC to be claiming it's not possible to know how many people attended, or to treat the police's fake estimate with any seriousness. The fact that they didn't have any clear presence reporting on the crowd tells you a lot.

“Transgender women athletes are now excluded from women’s events at the Olympics after the IOC agreed to a new eligibility policy on Thursday which aligns with US President Donald Trump’s executive order on sports ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games.”
Shameful. Sex policing is harmful to all women.
"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".
Leadership is being Bartleby the Scrivner on behalf of dozens of people.

BBC News - Transgender girls told to leave Girlguiding groups by September
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
This article is darkly fascinating as an example of how transphobia infects your entire ideology. The core argument is that we should not believe people when they say they are trans, were sexully abused or have a mental disorder.
I hadn't! But that's excellent news.
