"Whites need blacks to validate their belief that apartheid has now ceased to matter."

has always stuck with me as a brilliant sentence
Whites need blacks to validate their belief that apartheid has now ceased to matter. The casino resort called Sun City, I was told, was ready to pay a black superstar, a Diana Ross or Sammy Davis Jr. or Lena Horne, as much as the $1 million it supposedly showered on Frank Sinatra in order to get that cachet. (The bait wasn't taken, but Shirley Bassey and George Benson, two black stars of lesser magnitude, came for less.) For much the same reason, I think, blacks have their place in the cosmopolitan fantasy that is constantly being marketed to whites. A variation on this theme that first grabbed my attention was a fashion spread in a women's magazine that showed a black South African model in what was described as a gold boucle jacket. She also wore gold slacks, gold shoes, gold gloves and a feathered gold beanie, and she was reclining on a parapet above El Greco's Toledo in order to display these garments from South Africa to the mainly white readers of Fair Lady. ''Lady in Spain,'' the article was called.

But OF COURSE ‘gender critical’ transphobes ALWAYS go for the “I DEMAND to speak to your manager” approach whenever they’re told they’re wrong!😖

And obvs they’ve got a bigoted billionaire to fund their obsessive vexatious ‘lawfare’, plus a radicalised ex-EHRC Board member lawyer to represent them!
Post Allison Bailey v @BluskyeAllison NEW: Earlier today, my lawyers filed an application in the Court of Appeal seeking permission to take my case against Stonewall to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. Permission to appeal to the Supreme Court is granted only where there is an arguable point of law of general public importance which ought to be considered by the Court at that time. Such permission is granted rarely. The procedure requires that I first seek permission to appeal from the Court of Appeal. I am extremely fortunate to have had the merits carefully assessed, and the application for permission drafted, by titans in this field. The permission application is authored by Ben Cooper KC, Akua Reindorf KC and Anya Palmer, working with Peter Daly of Doyle Clayton Solicitors. If the Court of Appeal refuses permissionas it frequently does— will have 28 days to apply directly to the Supreme Court.

FYI - The whole playbook of ‘gender critical’ transphobes is to instigate ‘lawfare’ around trans people existing, then to whip up toxic rhetoric in the media, so they can claim there’s “controversy” around the “trans debate” to lobby politicians not to support trans people’s rights! 😣

IF YOU LIVE IN BC AND ARE AFFECTED BY THIS THERE IS STILL TIME. Referrals for GRS Montreal are still being accepted until March 31.

If you are unsure about bottom surgery, do it anyways. You can always withdraw if you later change your mind

jfc british columbia is closing funding for grs montreal

the vancouver program has a far longer waitlist, and less experienced surgeons

what the fuck this is actually bullshit why are they making what little options we have so much harder
Understanding the Closure of the GrS Montreal Pathway for Lower Surgeries: A Guide for Patients What’s Happening The provincial Ministry of Health is gradually closing the GrS Montreal surgical pathway for gender- affirming lower surgery for BC residents. After March 31, 2026, MSP-funded gender- affirming lower surgeries will no longer be available at GrS Montreal. Gender- affirming lower surgeries will continue to be available through the Gender Surgery Program (GSPBC) in Vancouver . T he information within this document , which explains the closure, is specific to individuals seeking vaginoplasty and vulvoplasty surgeries. This follows a previous closure to the GrS Montreal pathway for phalloplasty and metoidioplasty surgeries , which continue to be available at GSPBC. The Purpose of this Guide This guide explains how these changes may affect your access to care , including: • What happens in different situations, such as if you are seeking a referral to GrS Montreal or waiting for surgery there; and • Who to contact for more information about the surgical pathway revisions. Information About Different Situations I HAVE ALREADY BEEN REFERRED TO GRS MONTREAL . If you have a complete referral to GrS Montreal by March 31, 2026, you can continue your care there without interruption. A complete referral means: • A completed surgical readiness assessment from an approved assessor AND • A referral to GrS Montreal from your primary care provider. GrS Montreal will request additional documentation from you and your primary care provider following the receipt of your referral. These documents can be completed after March 31, 2026, and will not impact your ability to access care at GrS Montreal. If you’re not sure whether you have already been referred to Gr S Montreal, ask your primary care provider to confirm that your referral and surgical readiness assessment have been sent and received. ALREADY HAVE A SURGERY DATE AT G R S M ONTREAL . Your surgery date at GrS Montreal will not be cancelled, and your surgical plan will stay the same. I HAVE NOT YET BEEN REFERRED FOR SURGERY . Until March 31, 2026, you can choose to be referred to either GSPBC or GrS Montreal. Starting April 1, 2026, all new referrals will go to GSPBC. Visit Vagina & vulva construction | Trans Care BC for more information about being referred for surgery. I NEED A REVISION . • If you had your initial surgery at GrS Montreal: Until March 31, 2026, if you had your surgery at GrS Montreal and need a revision or repair surgery, you will be referred to GrS Montreal. After March 31, 2026, if you had your surgery at GrS Montreal and need a revision or repair, you will receive care at GSPBC where medically appropriate. In most cases, revisions can be performed in BC. If the GSPBC assessment shows a medically necessary reason why the revision needs to be seen by the original surgeon, GSPBC will refer you to GrS Montreal. • If you had your initial surgery at GSPBC: You will be referred to GSPBC, and there will be no change to your care. I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY REFERRAL . If you have been referred to GrS Montreal and you have questions about your referral, speak with your primary care provider or contact GrS Montreal at grs@grsmontreal.com. If you have been referred to GSPBC and have questions about your referral, speak with your primary care provider or contact GSPBC gspbc@vch.ca. I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS AFTER READING THIS GUIDE . More information on this phased closure can be found by: • Reading the Ministry of Health FAQ for patients and providers. • Reviewing the Ministry of Health’s out of province guidelines. • If you still have questions after reading this guide, contact Trans Care

If you want to know what people mean when they say Democrats are "controlled opposition," rather than whipping votes against ICE funding, Hakeem Jeffries struck a deal with Republicans to allow Democrats to feign outrage at ICE while still funding the spending package.

More people have died in ICE detention centers already in 2026 than will die from mifepristone all year. These politicians are extremely dangerous to women.
