So, @KemiBadenoch had a consultation about toilet provision.

That consultation produced 83% of respondents in favour of non-gendered toilets, nearly SEVEN TIMES the number who wanted single-sex loos.

So what does she do…? Decide to enforce single-sex loos & ban mixed ones… Image
…all of which positions @KemiBadenoch as the joke Minister for Silliness and Wasting People’s Time, as well as the Minister for Transphobia and Extreme Right-wing Hate.

Obviously these are much more important issues for her than the collapsing economy and burning planet.

The UK is fast approaching a demographic tipping-point. You very rarely get tipping-points in demographics because, outside of wars and pandemics, births and deaths are relatively stable. However IMO we are approaching one which will have profound effects on UK politics.

1…
The effect of this demographic tipping-point will be exaggerated by the fact that many people who used to switch from supporting left-of-centre parties around the age of 40, are now not doing so. Indeed the age at which Tory voters start to outnumber Labour ones is…

2…
Probably closer to 50 than 40 now, and it is unlikely to stop there. Home ownership is one of the main drivers of this. However the number of voters over 50 is going to decline quickly over the next few years as the first post-war baby boom starts to die of old age.

The Observer and The Times are two of the most appallingly transphobic “media” platforms in the UK. They both have a clear policy of excluding trans people from writing about issues affecting trans people, they specifically employ deeply transphobic journalists and…

1…
…their “journalism” about us is exclusionary, fearmongering, biased hate-filled mendacity often disguised using “reasonable” sounding language to make the hatred of trans people seem palatable to the middle-classes. It is not “journalism” it is propaganda of the…

…worst kind, because it pretends not to be propaganda. The propaganda techniques they deploy include; inaccuracy by omission, framing, deliberate misinterpretation and disinformation, selective publication and the misuse of harmful stereotypes. These media platforms are …

This is a refreshing piece of journalism by @Cameron_W_Clark in the @MetroUK.

The issue I have with it is the “educating extremists” as a way out & blaming trans people for Glinner and JKR’s extremism….

When almost the entire UK mainstream media…

metro.co.uk/2023/04/20/ant…
…(@MetroUK being an exception) have editorial policies that;

a) hermetically exclude trans people from presenting our case (when was the last time you read a piece by trans journalist or heard a trans person speaking uninterrupted on TV/radio?)

b) encourage their…

…”journalists” to produce material about trans people that is dishonest, fearmongering, & misrepresents us - without giving us the right to respond - the responsibility for producing this extremism lies far more with the “journalists” & editors in news platforms like…

How establishment oppression works in the UK;

1. The Tories want to publish transphobic 'guidance' for schools during the Easter holidays. (They never introduce nasties for schools during term time.)

2. An opaquely-funded extreme rightwing propaganda group ("think tank")...

1.
...produces a 'report' saying this transphobic 'guidance' is needed, after the entire mainstream media has been clamouring for oppressive measures directed at trans children for many months.

3. That 'report' is published calling for repressive measures targeting trans kids...
4. UK Mainstream media uncritically regurgitates the contents of that report as if handed down from God.

5. All this happens right at the end of term so that the Tories can publish their transphobic 'guidance' while teachers are not looking.

6. The media welcomes the 'guidance'

.@cambridgeunion There have been two speakers talking about trans people's human rights at Cambridge University this term, both of them cis. Both opposed to trans people's existence.

You platformed one of them.

1/8
If there had been two speakers at Cambridge University speaking about lesbian, gay and bi human rights, both of whom were straight, and both of whom opposed the existence of lesbian, gay and bi people there would have been an outcry, and rightly so.

2/8
However, when you contextualise this with the way British mainstream media reports about trans people and our human rights, your decision to platform Stock becomes even more problematic.

It has been #TransAwarenessWeek this week and there have been no media articles...
