Awesome longer thing on similar themes currently under review at a journal! But for now, if you haven't read our open access piece about FWS and community, why not do so?

Trans activism has "infected" Cambridge University, which presumably just means that cis students are being normal about trans students, by e.g. not describing them as an "infestation." Aww, you poor things.

Importantly throughout all the many studies that they excluded for one reason or another, there is also NO EVIDENCE of significant harm.

You can bet your bottom dollar they would have been interested in ANY study that showed harm - those wouldn't have been deemed out of scope.

Cal's thread details some of the many issues with the recently released reviews. Importantly, they also discuss options for what to do next, given that there's a "consultation period."

This is not an attack on Gillick Competence, because Gillick only applies to u16s.

This undermines the statutory presumption of consent for 16/17yos.

Help a Black trans kid afford care In the face of NHS failings, Isaac and his family need your help to afford trans healthcare.

Please share - and donate if you can!

I'm helping to raise money for Isaac - a Black trans kid seeking vital healthcare in England.

Isaac is lucky enough to have a very supportive family, but they have all been screwed time and time again by the NHS and UK authorities.

Any contribution will help!

Brown/Trans/Les by Talia Bhatt. The cover has a desi woman seen from behind in a red, bridal lehenga choli with her hair up and decorated by flowers, against a black background.

Brown/Trans/Les by @taliabhatt.itch.io. I'm not going to try to summarize all of my thoughts, because there are far too many, but having finished reading it: This is an essential book to read. It is an intervention in decolonial theory, transfeminism, queer theory, and much more.

Worth reading their letter in full, but would particularly like to draw attention to this paragraph, following the High Court decision. Routinely outing trans people at work is not compatible with their human rights.

I don't think I've ever seen this written about. Trans kids having their data rights attacked from so many angles. This one particularly stung because it had a big impact whilst not even being acknowledged as anything more than a minor IT system change. schools were told by DofE this was mandatory.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

Screaming at a wheelchair user and calling them a twat cos they object to you grabbing them without permission, twice, is such a great example to set for your kids.

CW sa, abuse

The rapist just needs to present themselves, the violence they cause is implicit, their social privilege their previous behavior

The violence of the victim on the other hand needs to be loud to be heard it needs to be so loud the rapist can't ignore it and for that we are monstered

MCC Brussels specifically*

These are the people who want us to think our trans comrades are predatory. The LM network and their collaborators are disgusting peddlers of fascist impunity for abusers.

The Living Marxism/Spiked network position (of which O'Neill is part) on Jimmy Saville was the same. Their main ideologue Frank Furedi wrote a whole book on it. This is a habit for them. Furedi now leads the Orban-funded MCC think tank. One of his students edits the Thiel-funded Compact Magazine.

Really hoping I am not stuck in this "I can focus, but not on what I need to focus on" loop for long.
