Not necessarily qualifying- but sure - let’s not hire a trans person to do training on trans issues.

Zack Cole rhymes with Dick Hole. Or close enough for government work.

“I’m not a transphobe! Asking me to wear a mask just made me stupid.” Yeah, the mask thing and the stupid thing are not related in any way. She must be incredibly strong to weather the shit she has to and stay focused on her job.

One of the rare cases where the mask has a higher IQ than the wearer.

Is there a sewing pattern on alt-right social media that uses dry-cleaning bags as mask material? This seems to be a common problem.

Stonewall has gone back to being useless on trans issues again

You cannot diffuse a toxic row when one side denies the other has a right to exist.

Also there is a Black Trans Lives Matter protest in London happening right now, but there is currently no mention of it on the Guardian.

“Transphobia is never wholly herself unless she is engaged in high moral principle. We as a people have such a purpose today. It is to make kinder the face of transphobia and gentler the face of discrimination.”

The reporting on the London Black Trans Lives Matter protests is shit to non-existent. About the most I could find is a 50 second video from the Guardian.

The BBC and the i each have a paragraph in an article that is mostly about the original Gay Liberation Front members rewalking the route of the first pride march in London.

The GLF story is worth writing, but did anyone think how it would look making Black Trans Lives Matter a minor part of a story that is mostly about cis white gay and lesbian people? Both look like they are a rewrite of a Press Association article anyway, so it is doubtful that they even bothered sending anyone to report.

There is nothing in the Mirror, nothing in the Independent, and the Morning Star isn’t out until Monday (but they are consistently pro-TERF so anything they print probably isn’t worth reading). I haven’t bothered looking at the right wing shitrags because we already know they hate us.

We are deliberately being ignored. We need a trans focused Outrage! style group, who will do non-violent direct action that the press cannot ignore.

Who can forget this Section 28 protest from the 1980s?

Edit:

When Sky News has the best reporting of a trans event then the left leaning press have fucked up.

Does anyone here know who the original Robert Galbraith was?

Heath was experimenting in 1953 on inducing paroxysms through brain stimulation.[19] During the course of his experiments in deep brain stimulation, Heath experimented with gay conversion therapy, and claimed to have successfully converted a homosexual patient, labeled in his paper as Patient B-19. The patient, who had been arrested for marijuana possession, was implanted with electrodes into the septal region (associated with feelings of pleasure), and many other parts of his brain. The septal electrodes were then stimulated while he was shown heterosexual pornographic material. The patient was later encouraged to have intercourse with a prostitute recruited for the study. As a result, Heath claimed the patient was successfully converted to heterosexuality.

I can’t believe JKR’s choice of pseudonym is coincidence anymore
