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 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.

summarise from a pro trans perspective and explain why this is unworkable - Tories to allow ban on trans women in single-sex spaces The Guardian3 Jun 2024Jessica Elgot Deputy political editor Kemi Badenoch has said the Conservatives will change the Equality Act to rewrite the definition of sex and allow organisations to bar trans women from single-sex spaces, including hospital wards and sports events. The party will make clear that the protected characteristic of sex means biological sex, enabling those who wish to bar male-bodied people from organisations or activities to do so. The minister for women and equalities said: “Whether it is rapists being housed in women’s prisons, or instances of men playing in women’s sports where they have an unfair advantage, it is clear that public authorities and regulatory bodies are confused about what the law says on sex and gender and when to act – often for fear of being accused of transphobia, or not being inclusive.” Last year, Badenoch asked the Equality and Human Rights Commission to advise on the change. The equalities watchdog said the new definition would make it possible to exclude trans people from same-sex spaces even if they hold a gender recognition certificate. The law will still protect against discrimination based on the status of gender reassignment, the Conservatives said. The party also said it would change the law to make gender recognition a reserved matter that only the UK government could legislate on, a reaction to the row over the Scottish gender recognition bill, which was blocked by Westminster. Announcing the change, Rishi Sunak said that he wanted to enshrine the right to single-sex spaces in law. “The safety of women and girls is too important to allow the current confusion around definitions of sex and gender to persist,” he said. Sunak and the Conservatives have used gender and trans rights as a key plank of their election strategy against Labour and Keir Starmer.

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.

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.

Cowardly bully Victoria Atkins MP banned puberty blockers as Parliament dissolves

In a move she has described as "bold", Victoria Atkins MP banned puberty blockers literally a day before Parliament's scheduled suspension for the General Election. Meaning Parliamentary opposition will be near impossible.

UK’s private gender clinics; a guide to getting on hormones

Healthcare for transgender and gender diverse people in the UK right now is a battlefield and amidst the smoke, dust and debris it can be very difficult to find one's way out of no mans land. Even the UK's private gender clinics are no guarantee, Eli Cugini writes;

Do Labour really want to update gender-ID law?

On Monday, The Times lead story was “Labour plan for gender change to be made easier”. On Tuesday, they followed that up with a Labour denial. So, was this one of the Labour Party’s fastest u-turns under Keir Starmer or was The Times up to mischief?
