This is Fascism in 2023. Montana, US, brings in law persecuting Trans kids & removing vital healthcare from them. Together with silencing a Trans rep, Zooey Zephy for being a Trans woman - the Republican legislature banned her from the floor. nytimes.com/2023/04/28/us/…
Here’s the definition of Far Right extremism - ‘a specific ideology characterised by anti-democratic opposition towards equality’ 
Between 7.1-10% of adults self-identify as LGBT+. If that were reversed with cis hetero ppl & LGBT+ represented ~90% of ppl these politicians would be prosecuted for hate crimes. That they are not, shows that LGBT+ equality & Pride protest have a v long way to go.
@TamePunk I just shared this article to a blue mountains discussion group.
Instantly I had rape apologists in a fury. Demanding the article be removed. We don’t talk about this stuff, was the narrative.
That’s the problem

Since September last year, I've been arguing we need urgent law reform in Scotland to give complainers in sexual offence cases the automatic legal right to anonymity which already applies in the rest of the UK -and almost all of the rest of the common law world.
I'm delighted today to launch a dedicated campaign website with @seonaid90 and our @GCULaw students to press on with the arguments for reform in this new session of Holyrood.
We've already made significant progress - raising political consciousness that this is an issue & securing support for change. A commitment to reform was embraced by @theSNP, @ScotTories, @scotlibdems & @scottishgreens manifestos - we hope to hold our MSPs to their promises.

As a libertarian, I agree with this. I am completely unimpressed by Trump or Biden. It’s time to think outside of the tired, outdated two-party box. #LetHerSpeak
For the past four years, I’ve been very frustrated with President Trump. I don’t see any real accomplishments. He’s mostly a showman. This presidency was primarily about boosting his ego. He’s another Silvio Berlusconi.
The #TwoPartyDuopoly has worked together for decades to erect a mighty #FortressOfProtection. The #2020Election may be an unprecedented opportunity to break right through it.

This is our original depiction of the duopoly's fortress. The first slide shows the structural barriers (exclusionary debates being one of those). The second slide shows how these concrete barriers are reinforced by various barriers of perception. 2/
It's hard to argue which type of barrier is stronger, & the reality is they are mutually reinforcing. When the media goes along with a phony narrative that the CPD is a legitimate institution working in the public interest, that has a powerful impact on perceptions. 3/
@crikey_news The idea that bc I'm a journo & sexual assault survivor advocate I should b forced 2 "cop a few body blows & move on" is unhelpful, especially when some of those 'body blows' r rape threats. But the idea that I dont work hard for gender equality is just plain funny.
@crikey_news Maybe your journalist didn't have time to research me b4 deadline. I'm not going to list every single thing I've done for gender equality here. I'll let you do the homework. But since we are talking about the 'body blows' I cop - & since it's my body up for discussion (as it...
@crikey_news ...so often is when you're a public sexual assault survivor) I thought it might be an idea for me to give you a bit of insight into the type of 'body blows' I cop, courtesy of Bettina Arndt's ongoing abuse, & the decision by mainstream media to put those defamatory views on blast
NOT SHOCKING (ethics violations).
