"Gay rights never saw the backsliding that trans rights did"
If she wasn't dead, Anita Bryant would like to have a word.
Good, but this is a day late and a buck short.
Thornberry et al. knew full well how wrong Labour were/are on 'trans' (cringe). We begged and pleaded with them for years. They did nothing.
Right when we needed their voices most, they stayed schtum to avoid upsetting their transphobic leadership.
Love how the headline writer cleaned up Thor Berry's awkward 'wrong on trans' gaffe.
We should *absolutely* encourage people to call it that.
"Paying the Rowling Tax" should be an idiom for 'enduring worse treatment because of transphobia'.
Can we all agree that Jess deserves to have the best Friday afternoon possible?
Someone get them a spa day!
Congratulations!!

Don't blame him for speaking the truth.
He leaned into the dictators thing pretty hard, which sort of took his eye off the ball (food, architecture). As much as I enjoyed them, they were noticeably less focused than earlier work.
On that note, any hope of Meades producing another doc? I miss him.
my first piece (cowritten with Catriona Innes) in a print magazine comes out today: we interviewed 13 people, mostly trans women, about how the Supreme Court ruling has affected them for Cosmo UK

It covers all manner of sin, doesn't it? You could have a 'managed' system that was generous, welcoming, and transparant. You could also have a 'managed' system of internment camps.
I'm not hype on that phrasing, though I understand why that word was chosen.
Not just at the Guardian though I think it's worse there for several reasons, many professionals born in the 60s/70s operate by equal parts anxiety and entitlement (unlike their precedessors or progeny). They shimmied up the greasy pole, expected deference, received criticism, and can't handle it.
Opinion Restoring order at the border speaks to Labour values. Without that, we won't be able to do anything else at all Shabana Mahmood Our approach, unlike that of the Greens and Reform, is in step with the British people. They don't want extremes - they want a system that is managed and fair Shabana Mahmood is the UK home secretary
This is a hot mess of outright lies and misinformation from the Home Secretary, designed to try and persuade people that a government which is implementing some of the most hostile anti-immigration/asylum policies, in practice, for decades is progressive. 1/

Beautiful pics. Something related that's still in print is my piece on homoeroticism in WWII-era propaganda posters from @notchesblog.bsky.social. Check it out!

ikr? I'm genuinely baffled by this one. His job is to voice opinions on controversial topics. He knows there's lots of people out there who will think he's wrong. Blocking because someone qualified their praise is just weird.
Wow. That is one thin skin. I didn't even @ him!
Rare James O'Brien win here.
"Empower Trans People to Abolish ICE" would get my vote.
💯
Very excited for my second paper in the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry to be published.
In this paper @floralashes.bsky.social and I dig into the dominant narratives that underlie restrictions on the use of GnRHAs in TGDI youth.
