Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.
They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.
Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

The best illustration of gaze is this video in which someone swapped the video game character skins between Batman and Catwoman. Both characters are fully clothed but the camera treats one very differently from the other.

The idea of civil rights is that all people are equal members of society, and therefore mechanisms that make people unequal are illegitimate. The far right has built a perverse mirror ideology, in which races are known to be unequal, and therefore mechanisms that make us equal are illegitimate.
Their baseline idea is that inequality between peoples is the natural order of things, and so any effort to reduce inequality is immoral and illegal. They're segregationists, and their ideal world is the antebellum South but they'll settle for the "Redeemer" era as Reconstruction fell to Jim Crow.

Everyone should read this THREAD by @goodlawproject.org in conjunction with my own research on the effects of the puberty-blocker ban. All Labour MPs supporting Starmer-Streeting transphobic assault on the lives of trans children are responsible for the ongoing deaths of trans children.

Remember when trans people were asked “What rights don’t you have?”, or were told “Nobody is trying to take rights away from you!”
Well, the ‘quiet words’ are now being spoken out loud!

Time is of the essence and we need to fight the EHRC interim guidance before it becomes statutory and Parliament make it law.
Don’t just shout about it, write to them. Also tell the media, if you can get them to care. I’ve posted this on Instagram.
