Also, write to your MP: www.writetothem.com Possibly being slightly more diplomatic than "Dear conflict-averse Labour MP, Sod You, Sreeting, Starmer and trolley you rolled in on." if you can bear it. pastebin.com/9xiu6vaF

Labour members have opened a petition to Wes Streeting. Anyone can sign it. "We, the undersigned, are calling on you to immediately withdraw your support for the ban on puberty blockers for trans young people." actionnetwork.org/pe... #transgender #LGBTQ #LGBT #Labour #trans

Just wrote to my MP about Streeting's war on trans kids. You should too.

In a deleted tweet, someone in attendance at a meeting regarding the NHS plan to review transgender medical care for adults quoted an official for the NHS implying the Cass review was designed to shut down access to gender affirming care for youth. We managed to get a screenshot showing the OP.

Now that's interesting; the @listlistlist.bsky.social account being used to distribute the list of supposed Jamelle Bouie harassers was created on June 26, well before this started, but only one day after the previously-recalled 'slur week' thread.

There are machines that tell you how full The Spectator is of Anti Trans BS to save you the trouble of reading it. (I perpetrated one of them. It applies the @transmediawatch.bsky.social style-guide.) github.com/augeas/Trans... (Haven't tried running the Spectator scraper in a while.)

For a number of years now, The Spectator has also been publishing pieces by journalists usually regarded as being left wing, feminist, or centrist in Britain. Guess what those individuals happen to have in common with the likes of the Spectator? You guessed it, their stand on trans rights

It's not political violence when the state does it though

People literally didn't vote for this Wes, even of the weirdos in Reform, only 7% had trans issues in their top three voting issues. This is not a "public health issue" (as the defence kept making out yesterday), it is not in the public interest, because outside a handful of weirdos, no-one cares

Tell me again how "the grown ups are in the room." 16 kids have died so far. Labour want to make the ban on puberty blockers permanent, based solely on a hateful ideology, not science. www.theguardian.com/world/articl...

So, we've elected Uriah Heep as leader, who Nobody Likes, because the Stupid Crimson Faced Bigot vote was split between The Blue Meanies and ReFascUK, because they're as Stupid as they're Nasty, also mitigated by our electoral system also being Stupid. Welcome to another rainy day on Shit Island.

Just 'cos the Literal Democranks tend not to pander to anti-trans wing-nuts and are pro-EU, it doesn't mean that I'll call them by their chosen name. Oh, I'll *vote* for them, with their non-zero y-axes and stupid chummy cursive fonts, but no-one has to *like* the little creeps.

Five more years to shove The Literal Democranks past The Blue Meanies, so a progressive opposition *might* keep Labour honest, all the while fighting the snapping Cerberus jaws of the ReFasc. Sounds like a *lot* of work. Is it possible? Is it *worth* it? I'm tired and ill.
