Internal investigation has been launched by the SNP to discover why an incorrect title appeared on their mailed election leaflets for two trans Scottish Green Party members.

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.

A vote for the Lib Dems could deliver the most transphobic government in Scotland's history.

‘But what about the genuine concerns of women?’

Lots of white people had genuine fears during segregation. Most probably didn’t think they were racist, but accommodating them was bad then and it’s bad now.

My sympathy for someone’s fears ends when it’s used to oppress others.

I'd like to hear more about what's discussed in this article. This and the original are kind of nebulous and mostly attributed to unnamed "officials", but some of the things mentioned are a bit worrying, so more detail and clarification would be very nice.

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.

Arlecchino erasure.

all transphobia polices womanhood. that's why it's so popular with the powers that be.

Ok, I filled a BBC complaint about it and so should you

You can find my complaint in the alt text, but I urge you to write your own if able.

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

I have heard from another trans person (also involved in politics) that they too have been misgendered in SNP election leaflets.

Remember that the electoral role does not contain your title.

@snp.org please explain this.

The UK Trans Experience: you can be arbitrarily included in a lawsuit that has nothing to do with you, be included in national coverage and have dozens of articles written about you, be found innocent of everything and still have journalists follow you to different countries to call you a pervert

Ahem.

When cis people say they need a "civil discussion" around "trans issues," what they really mean is they want a discussion amongst themselves about how quickly they can get rid of us, over tea, preferably before the rush-hour traffic.

134 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 134 years the problem has only gotten worse.

The "gender critical" movement will not leave this trans woman alone, even though she has had to relocate to Australia over their bullying.

Marking an LGBT+ person out as a "sexual predator" is how bigots have traditionally endangered LGBT+ people.

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

I still have people defending Martina Navratilova to me to this day and I don't know how to explain to people that she is a vile bigot.

What the fuck

Plaid - real 37, published 33 Reform - real 29, published 29 Labour - real 14, published 17 Green - real 4, published 3 Con - real 11, none published LD - real 1, none published

The JLPartners / @telegraph.co.uk poll was also completely wrong in Wales.

I ran their numbers and even the 82 seats they did call are wrong.

Plaid are under, Labour are over, and it should be 11 Tories and 1 LD, but they have 14 seats uncalled.

🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈⚖️🇭🇺 A legal earthquake - CJEU finds Hungary to have violated EU law on multiple counts with its anti-LGBT+ legislation (as expected) but also for the first time in history, in an EU law-reshaping precedent, finds Hungary to violate Art 2 TEU in a self-standing manner.

Election leaflets from the SNP with "Mr" added as a tittle before my name.

My partner's election leaflet from the SNP with no title added before her name.

The @snp.org party are now deliberately misgendering me in their election correspondence.

The title field does not appear on your electoral role. So someone has deliberately and purposefully added mine in incorrectly. Below is my partner's for comparison.

I ask them to apologise immediately.

“Corridor care is bad for patient safety, dignity, and staff morale. We would make it a ‘never event’ so it is properly recorded and tackled.”

Wales Green Party leader Anthony Slaughter on NHS standards on ITV Wales Leaders' Debate.

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

From a different social media platform:

Stonewall quietly changed its definition of transphobia last year to help allow the government to pursue its Wraparound Conversion Therapy policy.

The reason Dugdale has been appointed is to launder its *faux* Conversion Therapy ban.

Quislings…?

Genuinely excellent apology from The National for running a transphobic advert.

Average Prime Minister steps on 3 rakes a day factoid is actually just statistical error. Average Prime Minister steps on 0 rakes per day. Rakes Keir, who lives in garden centre and steps on over 10,000 rakes each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted

MRPs are such a helpful addition to out political discourse! Look here's a bunch with an SNP majority! Ah but here's one with not even an SNP + Green majority, but what it DOES have is the Lib Dems winning *three* North East List MSPs on 10% average constituency vote there, with 0 2021 MSPs! 🤔

✅ Free Speech: When GCs who had no relation to my University complained to try and get me kicked off my course

❌ Not Free Speech: Exercising one's right to peaceful protest against those advocating your exclusion from society – on the campus you have to live and work in

On a related note, I thought the people who made this site were free speech fetishist libertarians? That's the defence busted out when we ask why known famous transphobic figureheads aren't moderated, but it's "intolerance" to criticize a religious hegemony that dehumanises me?
