Just leaving this here

WHAT DOES *GENDER
IDEOLOGY" MEAN?
"Gender ideology" is a made-up term used by those who oppose trans and LGBTQ+ rights. It suggests being transgender or non-binary is part of a radical agenda rather than a lived reality. It is often used to portray LGBTQ+ identities as unnatural. Frame trans rights as a threat to society. Justify discrimination while sounding 'reasonable'.

Doesn't sound like she's a trans ally to me.

Full of trepidation, ngl!

Parliament’s back – and so is the fight for trans rights

“Parliament may be back, but so are those determined to defend equality. If this summer proved anything, it’s that the movement for trans rights never took a break”

Yeah. A 10 minute online course is all a manager needs to know about EDI, unconscious bias etc etc.

No wonder there are so many lawsuits when they then fail.

Or when 'Christians' support hate and exclusion. Or when they are told to pray for themselves, when I might be wrong here but wasn't Christianity all about helping and praying for others?

Feels today 💔

All the trans people I know are so strong and resilient - showing a picture of the shot up WW2 aircraft that highlighted survivor bias.

I thought it quite wry or dry humour :)

I think none of us would put it past Musk after seeing what he's done to twitter/X. He's arrogant enough to do it.

I'm sorry and I really try not to say this but she is as thick as mince. And my lord, she's a bloody cabinet minister.

I was thinking the ones where you watch three 2 minutes videos and then answer 10 easy multiple choice questions at the end. And everybody passes.

They don't say what it entailed.

Possibly an online 10 minute 'everyone passes' job HR do at induction.

It could be emphasis but often it's the latter - causing me to be cynical about this happening.

UnicornsRockUK @unicornsrockuk.bsky.social · 15h

Yeah, hmmmm 😒

UnicornsRockUK @unicornsrockuk.bsky.social · 16h

Yeah, I wondered that. Do they have journos sympathetic to the terfish cause?

I've started pushing @scenemag.co.uk instead of Pinknews, but I can easily stop.

Hands up who's surprised by this? The BBC is just a government propaganda arm.

He made Piers Morgan look like a creepy bigot - and Piers knew it, hence getting riled!

More of that please :)

To all the TERFs spreading lies about me.

Here's the real story.

I couldn't believe my male friend's reaction after I came out as trans

I felt flustered and uncomfortable at the offensive remarks.

This is Graham Linehan, who UKLabour, WesStreeting and every columnist in the country rushed to defend when he was arrested by police, after inciting online violence and smashed a trans girl’s phone. They are even changing the law specifically to protect him. “Just a joke” @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Wait for the next update where it keeps you locked inside until you've watched the full 2 minutes of adverts.

lol. Another reason not to buy a Tesla.

Jessica Kant @jessdkant.bsky.social · 17h

I am cackling. Tesla owners are reacting to the fact that ads are being pushed inside the car now as part of an “update”

"Oh good, advertisements are making it in my car."

I had someone do that with a covering letter in a job application where the last paragraph was something like this;

"Would you like me to make it sound more personable or more professional? I suggest a follow up email in about a week. I can help you with that. ChatGPT"

Sarah was also using ChaptGPT and it told her it had been talking to Rich and he sounded a creep.

Her or others, possibly.
