12 or 16? UK Government’s bizarre attempt to deflect from trans suicides feat Prof...

There has been a lot of talk about trans suicide recently, especially as it pertains to transgender youth, after Wes Streeting announced he would pursue making Victoria Atkins' ban on puberty blocking medication permanent. This has prompted a bizarre response from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) in an attempt to deflect from trans suicides.

What a headline. In a previous post we talked about the UK media bending over backwards to platform Rowling over the fact that 16 children died by suicide as a result of transphobic extremism in the healthcare sector. Today we bring you news Rachel Reeves has agreed to meet with JK Rowling as the author attacks a Labour councillor.

UK Labour’s awful GRC plan shouldn’t surprise you; they never wanted it to begin with

UK Labour's awful GRC plan has been announced and caused an uproar in the transgender community. After a series of other transphobic outings from the party pegged for Parliament, this move feels very much like the final nail in the coffin for being able to defend them as a queer person.
JK Rowling and the 16 dead children; sceenshot from the game Celeste which shows the character standing atop a mountain next to a monument. The monument reads; "Celeste Mountain, This memorial dedicated to those who perished on the climb".

JK Rowling and the 16 dead children on NHS gender waitlists

For once this article isn't about some horse crap that has fallen from the gob of a billionaire bigot. Sure, JK Rowling is involved and does say some horse crap but the point of this article is really about the media and how they choose to report or not report on things like JK Rowling and the 16 dead children under NHS care.

Helldivers 2 queerphobia & why we need Pride capes

Helldivers 2 is incredible. There are no two ways about that; it is the perfect blend of epic, chaotic, frenzied insanity and cool, calm and collected tactical thinking. All set across gorgeous landscapes with absolutely beautiful lightning effects. But we have to talk about the Helldivers 2 queerphobia problem.

Call of Duty’s transgender bullets and anti-trans disinformation

Transphobes have been absolutely losing their crap over a glitch in a video game. Call of Duty's transgender bullets were an obvious mistake but it has served as a leaping off point for bigots to spread disinformation about transgender people.
A screenshot of a document from Royal College of Pyschiatrists where RCPsych's Lenny Cornwall works. The document also includes the code CR181 to identify it. A little easter egg for all my trans friends who have desperately tried to argue with a healthcare professional for basic healthcare.

RCPsych’s Lenny Cornwall called me toxic and abusive after implying a legal threat against...

RCPsych's Lenny Cornwall quote tweeted support of an article in the BMJ by Margaret McCartney taking a favourable view of The Cass Review. I described McCartney as a bigot which has subsequently led Cornwall to suggest I'm being toxic whilst implying legal action against me. He also suggests that I'm engaging in abuse and making it so there's no discussion.
Not the greatest assault on women in JK Rowling's life; a photo of a protest in support of Roe Vs Wade showing signs reading "Keep your religion out of my vagina" and "I am not free while any woman is unfree even when her shackles are very different from my own" a quote by Audre Lorde.

Trans people are the greatest assault on women in JK Rowling’s life time, apparently

In yet another bigoted outburst on Twitter the Harry Potter author has now stated that trans people are the greatest assault on women in JK Rowling's life time. All while signal boosting literal fascists who oppose basic bodily autonomy for said women. Amazing, honestly.
