There are rumours that they will wait until after the judicial review in November. It will spare embarrassment if something comes up in that and isn’t really much more of a delay.

How are we, in 2025, back to a situation where we have to explain to people that segregation is an appalling idea?

It really beggars belief, doesn't it?

If you're feeling optimistic, it gives them a get-out-of-jail free card if the JR highlights legal issues with the draft. If you're feeling pessimistic, they'll rig that one too.

I'd be somewhat surprised if they weren't waiting to see what comes up in the judicial review in November. It's not that long away and they would want to avoid something embarrassing coming up.

GCs doing their thing, being utter ghouls about the suicide of a young trans person. Claiming a lack of news coverage as a victory for their cause.

Alice’s death got coverage because my family sought press attention to highlight the appalling state of trans healthcare.

As for saturation coverage…

“A very big shift. There was saturation coverage of the death of Alice Litman, very notably on the BBC. This is the extent of the coverage (so far) of the death of Leia Sampson-Grimbly.
Is guilt setting in at the media's role in telling minors they were born in the wrong body?”

The tweet is accompanied by a screenshot of a headline in a local online new outlet
“Teenage girl took own life waiting for gender dysphoria treatment”

My MP is unlikely to help, but hopefully yours will!

🚨This is an emergency🚨

This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.

My wife refuses to read 'Go Set a Watchman' as she is convinced it will ruin 'Mockingbird'.

I've always enjoyed 'The Catcher in the Rye'. At school, our English class was the only one who studied it over 'To Kill A Mockingbird', because the teacher couldn't stand the latter. I am glad we did, because 'Catcher was a type of book I had never seen the like of before.

Due to the UK Supreme Court ruling, my partner and I are leaving Britain as soon as we can. If you can help I would appreciate it.

I will still try to help from abroad and expose the horrors this government is putting us through.

I’ve created a GoFundMe to help me leave the UK. I’m vulnerable because of my phsychotic disorder, which makes the current political situation for trans people much more dangerous for me. If you can, please consider donating. If you can’t, please share my campaign. Thank you.

Obviously awful, but nobody in their right mind should be travelling to the US at this stage anyway.

I like the way he looks like he is admiring himself in the mirror.

Wasn’t there literally a London Pride where a group of bigots stood in front of the parade and caused it to stop?

They try to interrupt pro-trans events all the time. Just they are mostly terrible at it because it is usually just three bigots and a dog.

And the dog doesn’t want to be there.

He has a right to say whatever he wants, and he did. He does not have a right to be free from consequences if what he said breaks the law. Which it did.

Happy birthday!

You Robins! 🏆

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 2d

Aye, I agree. I guess these things aren’t marshalled by a strategic mastermind, but are rather organic and messy.

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 2d

Finding out that my efforts with writing to and talking to my MP were a waste of time had definitely lessened a lot of the reservations I might have had when it comes to those who pursue direct action.

I understand that and definitely sympathize, I am not a confrontational person either!

But it has been repeatedly shown that they are unwilling to play fair and unwilling to even listen to us in many situations, so I can understand why people do this.

That should seal it! Absolutely fantastic performance from the Robins!

Madeleine Moore @matheleine.bsky.social · 2d

To be fair, they already have all the media and the ear of the politicians, does this actually change that? Maybe, maybe not. It was nice to see Siân Berry calling out the provocation of having this event in Brighton.

This is a ruddy brilliant final.

Oh that is a beautiful Wigan try.
