Had to turn off YouTube, so sick of transphobic ads in the SC governor's race.

8 Congressional Democrats just Voted with Republicans to pass a "Don't Say Trans" Bill That Defunds Schools That Support Trans People.
Violence against trans and nonbinary folks increased 14% in 2025, coinciding with $215M in political ads during the 2024 campaign, and at least four executive orders by Trump, that specifically demean and discriminate against transgender Americans. On May 14, 2026, just a few days ago, Juniper Blessing, a transgender University of Washington climate science student, was murdered.
In this world there are only two choices. Be an accomplice for liberation or be an accomplice for murder. It is not enough to be an ally.

@CherylMorgan Absolutely. The first response has to be to name it all the more urgently and not to comply.
I made a colleague cry once, simply by refusing to accept his denial of #transphobia; I didn't even use the term myself. The mediation was never going to work.
I've been out the loop, only just seen the #EHRC guidance.
Wow, the UK is now more fucked up.
It's welcoming full transphobic assault on people.
No trans people allowed in sport.
Encouraging outing trans people or anyone who might not conform.
Nothing is safe.

As for the wider electorate, the numbers invested in fascism is considerably less than those who aren't bothered about #trans people or are comfortable with voting for discriminatory partiees if they aren't made to feel uncomfortable about it.
So it is a political imperative to name #transphobia for what it is, along with racism misogyny, homophobia, ageism and ableism.
But also, the guidance requires that subjects not be confronted with their own immorality.,if it is to function at all. /5
Absolute cowards, every single one of them. A complete violation of free speech and just plain bigoted. There is nothing progressive about this. Utter scummy thing to support

Sending love and solidarity to UK trans folk following the government's latest "guidance". YOU ARE LOVED. 🥰
I was going to hurriedly write an angry one to my MP, but I think it's better to wait a few days, as clever people analyse the full 300 page document.
