I’ve been seeing more union flags popping up on lamp posts around where I live, but professionally done by Nottinghamshire council… to the tune of £75k … Reform, naturally. What a waste of tax payer money

I see that rancid sack of
Kellie Jay Keen
has said she wants the scouts 'boys only' which, given her transphobic history, means she wants cis girls out and trans boys out.
TERFs are so unbelievably reductive.

I was reading an interesting post on FB about the GG and WI situation. Essentially both have been secretly fighting legal action from anti trans groups for a little while and they can’t afford to continue, according to the post. Well funded TERFs are forcing their hand.
G Sabini-Roberts • Follow ... 1h • Q I need to drop a post here today to expand on the goings on yesterday. Yes, the decisions by Girlguiding and the Women's Institute are awful, but yesterday, as the dust settled and more information leaked out, a different picture started to form. It's important we all understand that new picture so then the righteous anger we all feel can be directed where it actually needs to go. We now know that both GG and WI have been fighting legal battles behind the scenes from attacks by the small but very well funded and vicious anti-trans lobby for some time. Neither organisation has talked publicly about this. I wonder if, at this point, they can't. In both cases, they have now reached a David Vs Goliath moment whereby if they continued to try and fight those legal battles, they as organisations would cease to exist. They would have to put everything into those fights. Fights that they may even win, eventually, because the law on this is still untested and we are still awaiting the outcome of the initial legal challenges against the EHRC back in April. But it would be a long and very expensive fight. You can't win a fight if the fight itself would take more than you have. Regardless of right or wrong. Both these women's organisations do a lot of essential work providing community and support for thousands of women and girls. They have both, yesterday, been forced to bend to the legal challenges they are facing because to continue would mean they could no longer support anyone. And they are, both, working hard to try and find 'alternative' ways to support trans women and girls as a way to keep doing their work in a way that isn't going to kill them in legal fees to fight a vicious and entirely unnecessary attack. And, like I explained yesterday, actually enforcing their new rulings is all kinds of problematic and they don't know how they will do it yet. The way they have gone about communicating those decisions and managing the fallout could have been done infinitely better, true. There are huge lessons to be learned on all of that. But again, they can only learn those lessons if they can stay alive long enough. So if you're writing to your MP, or going to a protest, or discussing this with others and explaining why this is all happening, it's not the organisations that we should be directing our anger at. Or the majority of it anyway. It's the anti-trans lobby. It's she who must not be named. It's the people who, for some still unknown reason, believe passionately that excluding trans women and girls from women's spaces - where they have happily been an unremarkable part of the community for decades - is more important than keeping organisations that support women alive. They believe cis women are safer alone, isolated, with no support network than they are by sharing a village hall with a trans woman. So what do we do now? We lead with that message. If we withdraw from those spaces we make sure that it is known why so we contribute to the evidence gathering showing that the decision to exclude trans women and girls is not a 'proportionate' means to ensuring all girls get the support they need. Because by going so, the membership leaves in droves, leaders step down, groups close. Excluding trans women and girls means that everyone loses. We need that evidence. I'll pop some stuff in the comments to things you can contribute to as I come across it. We need to spread this message. Because yesterday, 'Girlguiding/WI is bad' was an easy headline. Today we know it's far more nuanced. The more people who understand that the less we get drawn into a fighting each other and can collectively focus on fighting that small, angry but very rich minority who have decided that their hate is the only way forward. And sometimes their actions do a very good job of making the rest of us fight each other before recognising it's them who are the real problem. I'm certain that if those legal challenges were withdrawn, both organisations would revert back to being trans inclusive immediately. So let's work to make that happen.

The WI, girl guides, the pond groups and other groups that are majority cis women have happily accepted trans people for years. Yet the people who claim they represent women & their safety are bullying women’s groups to adhere to their views.
It’s not about women’s rights/safety. It’s punching down

The news about the WI banning trans women is disgusting. I’m not mad at the WI because they’ve accepted trans women for 40 years. This is the GC movement. This is then likely threatening legal action and forcing their hand by bullying.
Coincidentally I saw mention of targeting the WI weeks ago

I read a comment on that anti racism post by Beverley Knight that’s getting a lot of idiots in the comments - an old white gay man telling her she’s causing division with her post. I kid you not, he had ‘conservative campaign manager’ as his previous job. The party of division who gave us section 28

I find it deeply sad that people are celebrating that trans girls can’t go to the guides any more. Lots of transphobic remarks and sneering on any article I see. They’re kids FFS. It’s bad enough trans adults are being targeted generally but to target kids and celebrate really is rancid.

Average singer? AVERAGE? Who even are you, Paul? Also, imagine trying to criticise and insult a black woman for wanting to stand up to racism.
Paul Moore Excuse me Beverley Knight... What is your definition of "far right"? Perhaps you need to open up your brain to the division, racism and violence caused by the far left. You're an average singer with an average opinion.Wake up

Whats that? Sarah Pochin going on about right to a fair trial?… but the ECHR protects that and Reform want out of it.
David Lammy announced today that he plans to abolish trial by jury for all but the most serious offences. UK law is built on the fundamental right to be tried by our peers. Take this away, and you open the door to politicisation, corruption, and unfair trials. This undermines the very foundation of British justice and it must be stopped.

The lovely Beverley Knight has ruled up the right wing numpties with this very simple message.
Lots of people ranting about protecting women from ‘boat people’ yet most domestic and sexual abuse is by white British men. Oh I forgot, it’s only a concern IF an attacker isn’t white.
I'm so saddened by the growing division in our society. We are all just one of the billions making our way through life. Just fellow humans, who have lost our humanity. Encouraged to do so by powerful voices and forces for their own ends. Racism is a disorder, a sickness. Irrational. Ugly. Add it to power and the results as we ALL know are catastrophic. We have to band together to show racism the door. It cannot be allowed to fester and spread. That is why I'm using my voice along with so many others to make it happen. Together.

I really despise the word ‘invasion’ … so often I see it used by racists to slime up fear, division and hatred for people. I also see it used by transphobes. A person having a shit or a piss in a toilet cubicle isn’t an ‘invasion’

August had groom this weekend with a new groomer. So much better than the one we tried before who basically sheared him like a sheep despite asking for a teddy bear cut.

Slowly getting there with Stephen King characters/films. I’m up to 15 of them now. Just trying to get some images of Mrs Carmody from The Mist for the next character.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of seeing The Sound of Music at the Leicester Curve. Absolutely fantastic! Great cast, brilliant set. Two of these images are from Google as no pictures during the show - obvs. But the third is one I took from behind the stage as the stage area is opened up at the end.

Oh f*** off, Bev.
Many of is know EXACTLY what Graham is like as we’ve faced his abuse, libel, slurs, bullying and harassment. He’s no voice for women or LGB people.
Graham Linehan is a criminal. Pass it on. Bev Jackson • @BevJacksonAu....1d @ : Replying to @Femi_FPolitics What a despicable remark. It displays your ignorance and callous disregard for child safeguarding. Graham has fought tirelessly to amplify the voices of women's and LGB rights campaigners and to highlight the dangers of children being given dangerous drugs. Many of us could initially hardly get anyone to hear us without his help. And he always helped. We were opposed by people like you, who would merrily tweet that this or that fledgling organization is a hate group: "pass it on". You have no idea how much misery you have caused and how many truly courageous people you have vilified. You should hang your head in shame.

I see the Telegraph have another moronic opinion piece by Michael Deacon:

‘Graham Linehan is a hero for our times’

‘The comedy writer’s campaign against trans ideology puts to shame all the hundreds of artists who’ve been too cowardly to speak out' |

Michael and Graham are sacks of 💩

Had a lovely encounter with a complete stranger this morning. Late for work due to traffic, needed to charge the car, couldn’t connect with my card even though I had just set it up. A man appeared, his car was next to mine. He tapped his card on the machine to allow me to charge for free… 1/2

I see all the right wing politicians and publications are up in arms about puberty blocker trials - despite blockers being used on cis kids with precocious puberty.
It is of course their attempt to control autonomy and stop trans people existing anyway they can. Create panic and fear.

How Graham Linehan can be found innocent of harassment is beyond me. The press are of course largely ignoring the criminal damage and labelling the trans person an activist because it’s easier to get readers to be against them that way. Not that it’s wrong to be an activist. It’s loaded language tho

Ugh. For like the entire time after my assault, I’ve never been able to see the blurred vision before I get an aura migraine. And my migraines have stopped coming out properly, which isn’t a bad thing. But in the last two weeks the blurred vision has appeared. Currently have it. 😬

Them: I studied evolutionary biology in university. I’m more informed.

Me: if you were informed, you wouldn’t be on a news post about recognising LGBTQ achievements saying kids are mutilated. You also *checks profile* wouldn’t list an Oklahoma insurance firm as the place you studied biology. 🎤🫳
