Not much to say about Trans Day of Remembrance anymore besides “try loving and celebrating us while we are alive”

Hey chat is it bad when the gov tells you you’re not allowed to question their decree on who is and is not deserving of human rights and consideration in their ability to participate in society
It is literally my job to question not only whatever ruling by whatever court I like, but also every other bit of the law that happens to interest me. Additionally - and for everyone else - there's Art 10 EHCR, which makes it not only my job but also the law that I can, y'know, question the law.

I have good intelligence that the Government was as surprised at the Supreme Court's decision as everyone else was. Shabana Mahmood will have known that - incredibly ugly for her to try and smother criticism because she likes the outcome.
The right way for Mahmood to respond to the substantial and substantiated criticisms of the Supreme Court decision is to address them.

To pretend it is illegitimate even to advance criticism is to mimic autocracies and amplify the stench of impropriety. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Absolutely insane. Uneblieveable. "Sex Matters", one of the hate groups responsible for removing trans people's rights via the Supreme Court are arguing that trans people shouldn't be allowed to transition because they don't have rights and not having rights is bad. Fucking hell
I'm not kidding. That's the fucking argument. "Kids will be harmed by the policy we rammed through once they grow up, so do conversion therapy on them."

Too much sci fi assumes advanced body modification tech will mean fewer visible trans people because many cis people can only imagine us valuing passing. Like not only will the future hold far more radical forms of gender expression, gender aside: people are gonna have tails, horns, and robot legs.

Again: thank goodness some statues got graffitied or else the BBC would not have covered it. The BBC in censoring years of trans protests has guaranteed that protestors must break the law to get any air time.

They brought this on themselves.
Update: they have now covered it. But not really. The story is not that twenty thousand people showed up for trans people. The story is that some statues got daubed with graffiti. Ragebait for the right, in other words.
This is still the only mention it has received on the BBC News website. TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE turned up with only a couple days' notice, but for BBC News it's a mere afterthought. Meanwhile, their video of a few dozen transphobes celebrating the removal of our rights still has pride and place.

This shouldn't need to be said but Again Again was made completely by human beings with no generative AI.

A scene written by a human, performed by a human, a song sung by a human, an effect designed by a human, will be better 100% of the time than the most extravagant AI slop.
