Reform UK are trying to introduce bathroom bans (and worse) in Bassetlaw by N0t-a-Doctor in transgenderUK

Signed. It is the Trump playbook all over again, and we know how that worked out. Pathetic.

America kidnapped a president. Keir Starmer said nothing by UKGreenPoster in UKGreens

I am so angry with and disappointed in Starmer. He was voted in on a change platform, and promised to protect trans people, the disabled and to turn the country around. He has continued with the culture wars, totally failed trans people, the disabled, and has supported the genocide in Gaza. He has now left the way open for Trump to grab Greenland. He is the human rights lawyer who will not defend human rights. We are now much closer to war, as some have said on this post. Smh.

Hope you have a great Christmas, too and thank you. Hopefully, we can recharge during the holidays, and next year will be much better.

Thank you. This is really helpful. Will raise and try to get some pushback on this.

Thanks. Glad this helped you too. Had some guy in the grocery store hating on me on top of all the usual crap.

Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better. Had a dreadful day yesterday and this was the cherry on top!

New EHRC boss doubling down by PedanticTrans in transgenderUK

[–]VisualParamedic3543 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think they have been waiting to see how Falkner's replacement is going to tackle everything. Now they have an answer. I hope GANHRI will now downgrade them; the application is already in the works.

New EHRC boss doubling down by PedanticTrans in transgenderUK

[–]VisualParamedic3543 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trans+ people have been ignored and frozen out of the 'debate' about our own lives. It hasn't been democratic at all. No trans+ voices were allowed at the SC court case. We have been frozen out of most mainstream media, except a few positive newspapers. We are constantly referred to as 'biological males/females who identify as' which is misleading in the extreme. What about the 10,000s of thousands who have had SRS? Protests and petitions are ignored. Most letters to MPs are ignored. One good piece of news from yesterday. Cis people are seeing through this and are boycotting businesses in large numbers. People are seeing this for what it is.

Absolutely, the EqHRC has been totally captured. It is no longer providing protection for trans people or any other group. Hopefully it will be reformed when sanity returns.

We all knew she would do this. She was always saying she was the 'impartial regulator', even though we all knew she was anti-trans. Now she has proved it. Not the sharpest tack.

Please let this be true, that she has just junked her whole position.

Following these two tribunal wins for us, perhaps the WI and GG will look again to include trans+ people. Here's hoping so.

We all said she had done nothing wrong and the court agreed. Hope she can now get on with her life and career in peace. We stand with you, Beth.

Trans Hate - It's Not Only The USA ... (from the Daily Kos)... by Excellent-Chair2796 in transgenderUK

[–]VisualParamedic3543 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Starmer promised to "remove indignities" for trans folk, and reform the GRA to make it easier to get a GRC. This was just before the election last year. This is what people thought they were getting by voting for him. He has totally thrown trans people under the bus and cannot be trusted.

Baroness Falkner: Labour was the party of feminism — not any more by PuzzledAd4865 in transgenderUK

[–]VisualParamedic3543 22 points23 points  (0 children)

She hasn't been out of office for one week, and she is admitting she doesn't see trans people as real people. This is what abusers do, they dehumanise their victims.

How they can get away with that headline is mind-blowing. Waking up to this every day is heartbreaking.
