Sad to see the #transphobic govt response to the petition that justifies the need for medical diagnosis in order to get a GRC due to the "seriousness" of the decision.
FFS people can make many very serious decisions without the need for drs.
You're right, @AngharadHafod we need to keep up the pressure to change the law asap
#Pope #Francis was NOT an #ally to the #LGBTQ community. He was a homophobe and transphobe. Just like the #Church itself is #homophobic and #transphobic.
He spoke out against #marriage equality multiple times and used his influence to stop change for the better He fearmongered against "gender ideology" and gender-affirming surgery. (Ironic cuz the Church is BUILT on #gender-based dogmatism) He suggested "psychiatric treatment" for young gays He fearmongered against a "#gay lobby"
#JohnOliver as right on point as ever. The #extreme-right and #authoritarian movements are just instrumentalising #womenrights to advance a completely #patriarcal #transphobic issue, turning #feminism on its head, and he just shows how they do it.
Discrimination against trans Olympians has roots in #NaziGermany
The forgotten Olympic history of #TransAthletes.
by Alex Abad-Santos
Updated Aug 1, 2024
Excerpt: "Outside of the [Olympic] Games, trans people face so much backlash, often for simply existing. The conversation around sports is particularly fraught, from children’s athletics right up through the pros. Despite the International Olympic Committee vowing to be more inclusive, the future for trans athletes is unclear.
"It all raises the question: How did we get to this point, and did it always have to be this way?
"The answers found in historian and journalist #MichaelWaters’s The Other Olympians: #Fascism, #Queerness, and the Making of Modern Sports might be surprising. Waters’s book traces the emergence of #ZdeněkKoubek, a track and field star representing the country formerly known as Czechoslovakia who, at 21, won two medals — a gold in the 800m and a bronze in the long jump — at the 1934 Women’s World Games. (The Women’s World Games was the precursor to women competing at the Olympics). In 1935, Koubek announced that he would be living life as a man and swiftly became an international celebrity.
"Perhaps the most intriguing facet to Koubek’s story was in the public response. Koubek was more welcomed and celebrated than we might imagine. There was an open-mindedness and empathy to the reception of Koubek and his gender identity and expression in the 1930s.
"Waters also pinpoints where and when that changed, specifically at the #1936Olympics in #Nazi Germany. Armed with a propensity for #eugenics, #GenderAnxiety, and a startling lack of scientific evidence, a small set of Nazi officials influenced the International Olympic Committee into #GenderSurveillance and #TransPanic — stuff that eerily mirrors the #transphobic attacks that athletes, cis and trans alike, face today."

Walmart Sacks Cis Employee *BECAUSE* She Was Harassed by #TRANSPHOBIC Customer in Bathroom
2/2: PPS: #Copilot never used "they" to start with but "he/him" so it is a bit rich to get lectured by a #transphobic bot about #misgendering.
#LinkedIn's verification through #ClearMe is still fucking #transphobic. All of my documents are updated, and I'm still completely unable to verify on LinkedIn. It's to the point where it asks for a selfie then immediately says "we can't verify your information" without even asking for an ID again.
They also have no customer support anything that I can find. Just a bullshit company. Browsing the web, it seems that any name change just completely breaks their system. Dozens of married women have just had to cancel their membership altogether because the company wouldn't do anything about it.
How incompetent can you be?

When someone is #transphobic because they don't understand #trans people, well I don't understand what it means and how can someone be #agender and I will still try my best to accept them for who they are
#TrumpSpeech This is the most #transphobic thing I have ever heard in my life.
For the record, I have spent most of my life in Alabama.
The transphobic message he just gave is totally incommensurate with "you are perfect the way God made you."
#StayWoke
Why the fuck are private corporations like #Paramount complying with #Trump 's #transphobic and anti- #DEI #ExecutiveOrders?
The only reason I'm subscribed to Paramount+ is to watch Star Trek. I already canceled Disney+ (last year, for unrelated reasons) and, as much as it pains me as a Trekkie completist, this subscription might have to go next.
Public comment period is open to speak your voice against the ridiculous executive order demanding changing gender to sex, and defining it as only male or female on passports
You know what to do!

To be clear, this isn't about meritocracy, it isn't a new white Nationalism, but the same centuries-old white nationalism without pretence. We've transitioned from polite white supremacy to in-your-face white supremacy.
