Just heard the Emirates Stansted to Dubai flight take off. Still boggles my mind that they have that going from Ryanair international.

This had better also mean the end of all that hopefully performative TERF-iness towards the end of the election campaign. Can't really feel comfortable with this government until I understand their true stance on trans rights

Meanwhile, the drift of LGBT voters away from Labour towards the Greens and Lib Dems in the last fortnight of the election was very real, and could cost them a future majority. They should think carefully about that. They will never satisfy TERFs, but millions of LGBT people vote.

I’d just like it if we could cross the bar thats on the floor that we deserve assumed innocence until proven guilty instead of how the opposite is the assumed institutional stance on trans people but that seems to much to ask

I think what hurts the most is that in the end it feels like too many cis people may think that transphobes hold bigoted bad opinions but that distrust and a weariness of trans people is a perfectly respectable position to have in general and reasonable to codify in law

Good that Tories are condemning Suella Braverman but I'd watch them closely. Her speech was about 4% more venomous than the standard level of transphobia allowed by British media, and I'd be pleasantly surprised if that horizon didn't move to meet her very soon.

Homophobia and transphobia are, essentially, the same thing: an objection to those who don’t nearly line all their gendered/sexed characteristics into the “correct” part of the dataset. As is misogyny LGB people and women siding with bio essentialist transphobia are stroking face-eating leopards

Now, the point of all that is it’s really really easy if you accept that thinking, to look at the particular distribution that is “to whom are you sexually attracted”, and determine that same sex attraction is absolutely one of those aberrant behaviours too. In conclusion …

… informed by science. It’s very nearly arbitrary, in fact. A lot of transphobia is justified by pointing to certain outliers who misalign on some of these distributions, but not all, and saying “you are in this bit of the data, therefore your trying to behave like the other is aberrant” cont

The point is that while these dual-clustered distributions are very real, where most people in one cluster will be “men” and most in the other “women”, some we decide are representing “biological sex” and some we do not. The choice is made by social consensus, and is only really peripherally …

But you can plot that same graph for a whole load of different things and get the same distribution, more or less: oestrogen levels, hair length, length of urethra, height, gamete size. Some of these things we call “biological sex”. Some we do not. Cont …

I have, for a long time, been trying to popularise the realisation that “biological sex” is culturally determined. You can plot a graph of, for example, breast size by adult population and there will be two “heaps” in that graph. They will broadly correspond to “men” and “women”, cont …

This is why there’s a shared political interest between LGB and T people btw: the notion that there exists proper “roles” for people wrt sex is a gender norm. We’re both oppressed by these cishet norms.

Good a time as any btw to remind you all that “gender-critical” ideology is in fact inherently homophobic: it seeks to define men and women on the basis of a normative, pseudo-scientific “role” in heterosexual reproduction. And they seek to enshrine that in law.

Media depicted Le Pen's rise, Brexit, and Trump as a sign of the growth of rightwing 'populism'. Will it depict the victory of the republican front and UK's Labour as a sign that the left is ascendant?

Burning coal is the most dirty, polluting, and inefficient way to get electricity.
As early as 1306, Edward I banned Londoners from burning it, due to its noxious smog.
So which countries are phasing it out the fastest now?
Greece and the UK lead the way!

Yeah, you’re right. They got 12% of the vote nationally, which should give them about 78 seats, but their utterly disproportional representation gives them *checks notes* 72. This is completely unlike, say, Labour who have, like three quarters of the seats on a third of the vote. Very maths.

And in addition to being seen as basically worthless, we’re seen by Labour as a problem in need of a solution. The “gender-critical” view. Our needs, our dignity, our personhood, our very lives - all of that is less important to Labour than appeasing people who want a world without us in it.
