Apologies again for politics, but just sent this to my MP if anybody needs inspiration.
I reluctantly leant you my vote last year. Since then I have witnessed, with horror, a parade of Conservative party policies continued and - worse - added to. To top everything off, the parade of bigotry and transphobia now pouring forth is utterly disgusting. If a man wants to walk into a female toilet he simply will. He might pause to put on a hi-vis jacket. Contrary to the so-called "Equality" minister, trans women are not a problem for using the appropriate toilets (and equally, I have no problem with pissing next to a trans man). Has it not occurred to you that on this issue you are now considerably to the right of Theresa May? Your government's refusal to stand up for some of the most marginalised minorities in the UK shames us all. This country did not remove the Tory government because they thought they were incompetent at implementing their policies, but because they were sick of the lot of them, of austerity, and of hatred. I would ask you to remind your colleagues of this

we made a critical error allowing reactionaries to make-up concepts like “biological sex” and frame them as non-ideological when it’s the exact opposite: people who undergo HRT *are literally changing their biological sex.* this is not some philosophical distinction, it is actual biological reality.

Going through the For Some Women decision, and something I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere is that the court took it upon itself to define lesbians in a way that excludes some cis lesbians and includes some straight trans men.
Accordingly, a person with same sex orientation as a lesbian must be a female who is sexually oriented towards (or attracted to) females, and lesbians as a group are females who share the characteristic of being sexually oriented to females. This is coherent and understandable on a biological understanding of sex. On the other hand, if a GRC under section 9(1) of the GRA 2004 were to alter the meaning of sex under the EA 2010, it would mean that a trans woman (a biological male) with a GRC (so legally female) who remains sexually oriented to other females would become a same sex attracted female, in other words, a lesbian. The concept of sexual orientation towards members of a particular sex in section 12 is rendered meaningless. It would also affect the composition of the groups who share the same sexual orientation (because a trans woman with a GRC and a sexual orientation towards women would fall to be treated as a lesbian) in a similar way as described above in relation to women and girls.

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Decided to watch Southland Tales again last night and had forgotten how batshit insane that film is. It's certainly an experience. Charlotte then followed up by putting on Sam Raimi's Crimewave. Which was also an experience lol
