btw she and her funders will have to pay the costs of the Care Quality Commission and Gender Plus. I quite admire the courage of Tom Cross, who has managed to lose all but one (police participation in pride parade) of his cases so far.

Utter hypocrisy from Viner at the Guardian, positioning her rag as supporting "communities", A rag which has not only *censored* the words of a non-binary academic but which liberally spreads disinformation about trans people and enabled much of the discrimination attacking us.

From Girl Guides to the Women’s Institute, trans people are being told they don’t belong
“I can only imagine what this means to a young trans woman, aged 14, 15 who finds herself singled out. Rejected. Informed, by implication, that she is bad, unwanted, un-normal.”

🤍 We stand with every family affected by the Girlguiding policy change
What happened to this young girl is not an abstract policy debate. It's a child who was excited to be part of Rainbows with her friends, tried her sessions, loved them, was ready to join. Now she's been told she doesn't belong.

Keir boy is a barrister and the son of a toolmaker, he’s capable of drafting any necessary SI to overturn that fucking judgment within minutes and signing it himself. But he is a bigot.
Let’s be clear about who is responsible for trans girls being excluded from the Guides.
Keir Starmer
100%
He could have overturned the injustice of the flawed Supreme Court any time, but CHOSE not to. So he is responsible for these girls being harmed. There’s a word for adults who harm children.

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry
