Yes this is correct. And the Bell case significantly weakened the Gillick Competency, which is a British legal standard for underage patients to manage their own health care decisions. And it was first established for, you guessed it, teens to get abortions without parental approval.

ADF was basically behind the Keira Bell case and trans reporters were trying to note similarities between that case and how the group uses lawfare in the U.S. to attack trans rights.

Katelyn Boo-urns @katelynburns.com · 16h

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018.

bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

It really sucks Newsom vetoed the HRT and PreP access bills. The stockpile veto is going to hurt.

That said, given everything he has been saying this year, signing 8 out of 10 bills is a win for grassroots activists and the legislators filing the bills.

It shows your pressure has worked!

CA UPDATE:

Newsom has signed these queer rights bills:
- AB 82 / SB 497 (Medical privacy)
- AB 1084 / SB 59 (Name/Gender changes)
- SB 450 (Adoption access)

And vetoed these bills:
- SB 418 (HRT stockpile)
- AB 554 (PreP)

Final total: 8 bills signed, 2 vetoed.

But "I can't resist because I cannot be even mildly inconvenienced as that is akin to oppression" isn't good faith either. We can't meme or vote our way out of fascism.

With the Trump administration’s ramped-up immigration enforcement efforts continuing to rile the Chicago area, officials in Broadview took steps to insulate residents from flare-ups between protesters and police as state lawmakers returning to Springfield this week look to strengthen safeguards.

Illinois lawmakers look at limiting federal immigration agents as Broadview shrinks designated protest area

As Illinois legislature reconvenes Tuesday for its six-day fall session, lawmakers will explore restricting ICE agents from taking people into custody at facilities such as hospitals and courthouse…

even if Newsom suddenly pivots back to being pro-trans, I'll never forget how his state police forces brutally maimed and attacked protestors to defend ICE in LA for weeks.

these governors aren't opposing Trump on the ground, they're helping defend his gestapo.

Extremely funny that people think this is now a Pritzker hate account when all we've been doing is documenting the same police violence we've been documenting well before this ICE surge

Sorry for disrupting your worldview. Welcome to what cops are!!!

Sounds like a violation of the first amendment. Also, I bet that ICE never took down their illegal fence/etc that they were ordered to take down. This is a one-sided deal, they expect everyone else to abide by laws and leaders, and they do whatever they want regardless. Straight-up bullshit.

The United States is currently in material breach of over five hundred legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations. We violated even the treaties we coerced at the point of a sword.

We cannot talk about restoring the rule of law until we acknowledge and repair this fundamental truth.

marginalized identity should never be weaponized as an excuse for immoral and socially harmful behavior, such as defending liberal institutions that opppress minorities, saying bigoted towards others, and supporting genocide.

Unnfortunately, this behavior is very common on both the left and right

I have a tall cis female friend who’s now scared to use ladies loos because she’s been harassed several times.

I am a firm believer in restorative justice, BUT when it comes to crimes against humanity, to jail with you. Jail for a thousand years.
ICE agents belong in jail for "following orders," and every administrator in our current administration deserves life in jail or worse.

100% agreed. I'm furious at these billionaires and bribed politicians that got us here in the first place, and the cowards during the us civil war that refused to finish the job. The changes needed are systemic level, not a mascot change and change of theme colors.

‘Gender critical’ transphobes are the puppets of the anti-bodily autonomy/ anti-gender right-wing US Christo-Fascists

See the FiLiA conference this weekend - all about removing bodily autonomy and consent from trans people, surrogates, sex workers … yet somehow they call themselves “feminists”? 😖

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

Bashback has taken a lot of right-wing media flak for its action against the venue of the Filia “conference” in Brighton.

But it has to be remembered that this was damage to property.

The violence INSIDE the event was violence against people. Transphobia is always fascistic and violent.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.
