"The bullying accusations have involved adults and children."
Another reason Harry Potter really shouldn't have got a remake is that the production of the film series seemed to have managed to be relatively safe environment for the child actors, which isn't always the case as the remake is proving.
when the most prominent meme about a minority is that the attempted suicide rate approaches half of the *surviving* population of that minority, yeah, they know what they’re doing when they target us.
every trans crackdown is an attempted mass murder.
Almost as if our rights our intertwined
Again, re “Trump’s Iran war is *just* to distract from the Epstein Files” crowd:
The US has tried to exert control over who rules Iran since before Jeffrey Epstein was BORN.
I’ve lived under numerous dictators across North Africa and the Middle East before, during, and after my PhD — and I’m a specialist in fascist / authoritarian / dictatorial propaganda and global conflicts.
I’m not just randomly saying shit I make up, lol.
1. Epstein was born in 1953, around the same time as the Anglo-American coup that took out Mossadegh.
2. I have never taken Trump at his word and uncritically repeated him.
3. I am not, in fact, a “neo-fascist collab” - just someone who knows the Middle East well.
I do not know a single Middle Easterner who believes Trump went to war on Iran solely to distract Americans from the Epstein Files.
Because Middle Easterners HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH WHY AND HOW THE UNITED STATES GOES TO WAR ON THEM THE MIDDLE EASTERNERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

Have seen many variations of this & broadly agree—but the part that struck me in the moment wasn’t “this is a microcosm for how America sucks” — it was “this is a microcosm for trying to behave democratically & respectfully of one another in a complex, evolving situation with things we can't know.”
they gotta be trolling me
On a lighter note, how do we know that hasn't happened? Everyone around him comments on how he smells like he's decaying... 🤷🏻♀️
It's exhausting to fight to be seen by the press. It's exhausting to be taken seriously in professional spaces when you have no funding and are doing it to support creatives while also working a job people don't really respect. I'm so tired of the professional creative scene being so elitist.
Literally years of fighting with the press for them to just even publish a press release, only for the media to cover our hiatus after we post about it on social media. The lack of press, the lack of support is why we have ended up on a hiatus. Trying not to cry with every article published.
It's such a good book and so important right now!
Same. I just wish we had actual human moderation again instead of faulty AI systems.
I mean this sincerely: I would not still be here if I had not had access to online community as a teenager.
i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.
Spare me the lectures about getting off Twitter. I'd fucking LOVE TO, but unfortunately, I work on white supremacist bullshit -- so I can't ignore that hellscape platform.
But I might as well make 10 cents every now and then from Neo-Nazi harassment; why the hell not?
The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.
I would like to once again emphasise that the ET entirely exonerated (and indeed went out of its way to say it was doing so) the trans woman who has been so publicly monstered in this case.
The effective conclusion of the ET is that trans people have to use third spaces. I think based on very poor legal analysis and uncritical adoption of "gender critical" talking points. But as I say, not binding, and all the relevant issues hopefully to be decided shortly by the High Court.
For those who know what this means, and this I think acts as a microcosm of the quality of the broader legal analysis - the judgment makes extended discussion of the Article 8 rights of trans people, without any reference whatsoever to Goodwin. Not sure how.
We remind ourselves that the PCP (in this case PCP 1) must correspond to a real need on the part of the Trust; it must be appropriate with a view to achieving the objectives pursued and it must be reasonably necessary to that end. We have seen the discriminatory effect of the PCP, in that it puts women - and the Claimants to the disadvantage set out above and amounted to harassment of them, in contravention of section 26 of the Equality Act 2010. In balancing the discriminatory effect of the PCP against the reasonable needs of the Trust to respect the gender identity of its employees, it is relevant to consider whether a lesser measure was also available to the Trust. A lesser measure clearly was available. This was to provide Rose, the only transgender employee using the female changing room with alternative, suitable and dignified facilities in which to comply with the Trust's Uniform policy. In our judgement, this would have respected Rose's gender identity and would have respected the biological sex of the Claimants. It would achieve equal respect for both characteristics. It is a fallacy that in order rightfully to respect Rose's rights Rose must be given access to the female changing room
It makes this point multiple times in a few different ways, but here is a particularly explicit example of their conclusion that is trans people, and not GCs, who ought to be segregated to third spaces
Seeing a lot of people who are misrepresenting/misunderstanding the judgment. As I say it's not binding, but it did say it was discriminatory for the hospital to allow trans women to use the women's changing rooms.
Someone said that I am conceding trans people's rights to bigots by accurately reporting the conclusion of the Tribunal...
And I really just don't know what to say to that?
Feels like an appropriate day to repost my article in DLA Briefings on the human rights implications of treating trans people as a third sex
'A third sex: returning to an intermediate zone'
Anyway, if interested, you should all read my academic article from July last year on why it's a violation of trans people's human rights to treat them as a third sex.
