These waiting times at GICs for a FIRST (first!) appointment are completely outrageous. Over 1000 people waiting over 5 years, and thousands in general waiting years for any appointment. The NHS in Scotland as well as the SNP can fuck off.
Come on. Labour “allies” repeatedly showing themselves up. It’s not secret that trans people aren’t welcoming this sham bill and ban. Yet we need to praise Labour and ignore trans people apparently!
As people predicted, Labour MPs trotting out the conversion practices ban even though it has a massive loophole and doesn’t actually ban conversion practices. Also, what do you mean “How has your trans son been screwed over by this govt?” Do you pay any attention whatsoever?
Imagine being a Labour MP trying to pretend (or actually believing, not sure which is worse) that Starmer isn’t transphobic!
Personally I would think that the segregation of a minority and systematic attacks on them would be worth mentioning more often than *checks notes* 26 days ago (and noting that those posts were made due to backlash they weren't speaking out that time)
Already got all the diamond cards in the new Pokemon TCG Pocket set wooo
I have a major problem with a lot of the trans 'allies' who are still in Labour. Like, if you actually listened to ANY trans people, in no conceivable way could you make this statement. But here Kate Osbourne is claiming exactly that.
Bridget Phillipson may be one of the people who's introduced a new Section 28 in schools, will forcibly out trans kids to abusive parents, and is pushing forward the segregation of trans people in society but at least she #ate while doing it! Seems like this is the typical Labour member.
Stephen Kinnock has a trans son. He's proud of that at the same time as being part of a segregationist Government against trans people, one that will leave trans men with no facilities to use whatsoever when out in public. WTF? These people are awful.
James Murray again repeating his transphobic lying talking points today
What about the threat that Burnham poses? He's about to be PM and is determined to continue the Government's transphobic crusade. Here he is, in his own words, explicitly backing trans segregation and the EHRC code.
Sorry, the more I read, the more angry I get - James Murray is yet another diehard transphobe who will ruin the lives of trans children (notably, he never uses the word "trans", but does repeat transphobe talking points repeatedly:
And this from our new transphobic Health Secretary, literally factual inaccuracies, and endorsing conversion practices as a first line response - no, most children don't just 'question their gender in that way', no, therapy is completely ineffective and is just conversion again
I remember arguing with someone who said the Lib Dems were "perfect" on trans rights - what about this is "perfect"? In it Helen Morgan says: "We agree that treatment should first be based on talking therapies" (!) - that reads like an endorsement of the conversion practices first approach.
Again, where is the mention of the Government's transphobia? Why is it we're back to it being constantly omitted from your criticism? We were here only a few weeks ago FFS. Does segregation not matter enough? Why does it feel like we have to force Zack into making statements on transphobia?
Why is it that transphobia is the one thing missing repeatedly from these criticisms? Like, repeatedly?
What do you mean by this? Maybe if...people (in this case the British Army etc) did bad things...they should be held to account for them... Like this really reads as he's opposed to the truth!
The Cass report is bigoted nonsense, as this series examines well (and there are many other critiques too): gidmk.substack.com/p/the-cass-r...
The Guardian here completely erasing that a) Brianna Ghey was trans and b) that she was murdered because she was trans. Reading this passage, you'd think Brianna was murdered because she was 'risky' on social media (perhaps through talking to people she shouldn't etc), not because she was trans.
Andy Burnham's view is: let's implement the segregation of trans people, but do it "compassionately". And somehow to do it in a way that doesn't marginalise trans people.
They seem to have a real disdain for nothern cities. Sheffield has been reliably Labour for ages as well and yet we get...no attention at all. Nothing. Similar for Manchester and other cities. Like maybe you should have something to say about this? Labour almost wiped out in Sheffield.
Slayyyter actually blowing up a bit from WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA and like...epic but also...the gatekeeping urges are strong
I’m annoyed at this. It simply isn’t our policy. Like what does “fair and managed” migration actually mean? It’s a set of buzzwords that politicians often use to be more anti migration. But our policy is to be very pro migration and I wish he’d stop freewheeling policy on issues.
