Ahh so he’s just openly admitting his absolutely abysmal and transphobic views on trans people in sports are just fully made without listening to any actual facts on the issues, just shit he’s made up based on fear mongering. Cool cool. But did you know he’s the best on trans? He said so!

Interesting to note that the trans hostile EHRCs and Labours line is pivoting hard from 'follow the law' (legal) to 'follow the rules' (social contract).
Almost like they know segregation isnt allowed under the law.

It's not illegal to use the right toilets and no one should adhere to Mary-Ann Stephenson's headmistressly call to "follow rules" that serve no good purpose, breach the UK's human rights obligations, will be bad for all women, and debase trans dignity. Make her appoint her sodding toilet police.

Resistance to authoritarianism must take place at all times, not simply when an army is invading under swastika flags.
We must never conflate the smooth functioning of the state with freedom itself. Assuming that the "rule of law" is identical with self-determination gives despots a free hand.

People imagine fascism as the opposite of democratic governance. In fact, fascism employs the same police, courts, property rights, patriotic mythology, and habits of obedience as state democracy.

When autocracy takes hold in a country, everything goes on as before—police go on policing, landlords go on collecting rent, people go on showing up to work.
The transition takes place so smoothly because all the elements necessary to fascism were present under democracy.

Re: "masculine socialization"
No, this isn't a big thing trans women have to overcome, in general. We are who we are because cissocialization *didn't work.* It failed.
My socialization was feminine. All my friends were women. I didn't relate to "other men." I was not good at being a man, ever.

What the U.S. government is doing with passenger data isn’t the same scale as the 1930s, but the logic underneath it is disturbingly familiar:
a state using bureaucratic systems, transport records, and identity lists to hunt specific populations.

it is quite scary how effectively Candace Owens' absolutely bugfuck anti-semitism is spreading
my read is they were trying to whip up the usual frenzy, but then the effort got blown up by Candace Owens saying The Jews did it
