Sadly, they don’t. I wish that were true, but transphobia is one of the most successful radicalizing forces for the far right.

If you want to compromise your human rights, that is your problem. It is absolutely unacceptable that you demand that minorities sacrifice their human rights to appease fascists. Zero compromise with fascism.

I would appreciate you not saying that basic human rights for minorities is “purity politics”. That is an absolutely disgusting statement.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

Another example of how transphobia and the brain rot it produces leads you down other bigoted pathways. It's not long before TERFs are complaining about representation or vaccines

There really isnt much distance between being a transphobe and being a racist.

Being bigoted against one usually means being bigoted against the others as well.

There's many reasons transphobes are the way they are, but one of them is that they have a very narrow, specific and exclusionary view of the world and so, naturally, explicit racism is either a next natural step or has always been there (scratch a TERF, find a racist)

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.

Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."

Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing

The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.

Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.

I’m not referring to feminists. I’m referring to gender criticals, a far right anti-feminist cult that opposes human and civil rights for trans, intersex and gender non-conforming people, especially women.
The gender critical cult holds religious beliefs.
There’s no such word as “transgenderism”

The EHRC has finally, five months after producing its wildly transphobic and, we believe, unlawful Interim Guidance now taken it down. Our judicial review challenge to that Interim Guidance will be heard in less than one month.
