The Times:

The House of Commons has been forced to apologise after allowing a transgender woman to use female-only lavatories on the parliamentary estate despite the recent Supreme Court ruling that protects single-sex spaces.

I do wish the news media would not bow to the trans rules and thus mislead readers/listeners. The reality is he’s a man, who claims to be trans, and thus a woman. The basic fact is that he’s a man, and he has no right to bounce into the female-only lavatories.

Robin Moira White, a trans barrister who is a biological male, was directed to use the ladies’ loos in Portcullis House last week after attending a meeting of the women and equalities committee in

Now look here, if you’re going to call yourself an LGBT station you had damn well better be an LGBT station. You can’t just idennify as one and then kick back and relax, you know, it simply won’t do.

The head of a Belfast LGBT radio station has called a ruling that it does not broadcast enough programmes for the LGBT community “truly baffling”.

The broadcasting regulator Ofcom found Juice Radio to be in breach of some of its “key commitments” of service.

Ofcom said Juice Radio aired “a very limited amount of specialist programming for the LGBT+ community, rather than a service specifically for that community”.

Snippets from a dialogue:

Judith Butler said it, therefore it is true.

Honestly it’s so pitiful. Because she seems (to the naive) to be saying something technicalish and difficult, therefore she is a genius and to be believed without question. It’s smoke and mirrors, people. It’s pseudo-difficult. It’s bullshit dressed up in fake profundity.

Updating to add another choice snippet of bufoonish hero-worship.

Now why would Trump hate Chicago in particular?

The state of Illinois and Chicago on Monday sued the Trump administration over its move to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago as the White House targets Democrat-led cities amid weeks of protests against the federal government’s immigration enforcement campaign.

The lawsuit opens a new front in the legal battles the White House is waging against state and local officials, coming just hours after a federal judge blocked a similar deployment of the guard to Portland, Oregon.

“Defendants’ deployment of federalized troops to Illinois is patently unlawful,” the lawsuit says. “Plaintiffs ask this court to halt the illegal, dangerous, and unconstitutional federalization of members of the National Guard of the United States,

Today in Trumpofascism:

A federal judge on Sunday night blocked the Trump administration from deploying hundreds of out-of-state National Guard troops to Oregon, even as President Trump turned to the Texas guard in a widening hunt for military forces to send to Democratic cities.

The Trump administration had tried to send hundreds of California National Guard troops to Portland, Ore., while mustering hundreds more from Texas, despite a stern ruling from Judge Karin Immergut of U.S. District Court in Oregon just Saturday that sought to block military forces.

Judge Immergut, an appointee of President Trump, called an emergency hearing Sunday, then broadened her restraining order to cover “the relocation, federalization or deployment of members of the National Guard of

Owen Jones is not what you’d call a sharp thinker.

The racism isn't even subtle.

These people think they can say anything and everything about Muslims.

The Green Party is led by a Jewish gay man. This is their deputy leader.

“Muslim” is not a race.

It’s not legit to pretend it’s a race and just go on from there. It’s not legit and it’s a very bad idea. Why? Because Muslims are not a race but adherents of a religion, and religions have content, and religions tell believers what to do. That matters.

Why does it matter? The … Read the rest

Lynsay Watson in the news some more.

Last month, the comedy writer Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow airport by five armed police officers for comments he had made on social media.

At the time of his detention, Linehan was returning to London from his home in the US to defend himself in court against accusations by a young trans campaigner of harassment and criminal damage, both of which he denies.

In an entirely separate case, The Times reported that a retired police superintendent had discovered that Lincolnshire police had recorded a “non-hate crime incident” against her without her knowledge.

Cathy Larkman had been flagged for tweets rejecting the idea that trans women were the same as biological women and

Fascism spreading like a fire.

Sirens blared and orange flames audibly crackled as a thick plume of black smoke streamed out of Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein’s Edisto Beach home during a fire that blazed on Oct. 4, video shows.

The home, located off Planters Retreat in the Jeremy Cay Community, is partially surrounded by trees and a marshy area of Edisto Island. That made it particularly difficult to rescue Goodstein’s husband, a former state senator, after he jumped out the back of the house to escape the blaze, a neighbor said.

Resident Tom Peterson was near the couple’s home midday on Oct. 4 when he noticed a plume of smoke that was visible in a video of

Wait what? I seem to be in the wrong species. We’re told that queuing for hours = pleasure.

It’s just before 06:00 on a Friday morning and on a busy central London street a queue is growing by the second. It’s dark and chilly, but I’m told the people at the front of this line have been here since 20:00 last night.

Christina Spence is waiting with hundreds of other people who want to be the first shoppers at Korean cosmetics retailer Skin Cupid’s first store. The 16-year-old, who is here with her sister and mum Cheryl, could just buy the products online – but she wants to be part of the queue.

The lust for public humiliation continues.

An FBI agent has reportedly been suspended because they refused to participate in a “perp walk” of the bureau’s former director James Comey, US media reports. The agent was suspended for insubordination, according to the BBC’s news partner CBS, after the agent found the plan to be inappropriate.

Mr Comey was indicted in Virginia on two federal charges days after Donald Trump called on law enforcement to more aggressively investigate his political adversaries, including Mr Comey.

FBI leadership has discussed sending “large, beefy” agents in Kevlar vests to bring Mr Comey to his court arraignment in Alexandria next week, CBS reports.

Trump is so ungrateful. It’s possible that without Comey he wouldn’t have … Read the rest

The ACLU talks maudlin nonsense on its pet subject yet again and does it dishonestly yet again. The author is one Gillian Branstetter, communications strategist. I would say her strategy is crap.

Over the last five years, politicians across the country have targeted transgender people and our families. 

Ah. “Our” families; so Gillian is trans; so he’s a he.

To the point: it’s not “targeting” men to tell them to get out of the women’s toilets and stop taking women’s jobs and prizes. If anybody is “targeting” it’s men who pretend to be women and take all the women’s stuff.

They’ve banned our health care, censored our speech, and made schools less safe for transgender students. One of the most

No no no. Conversion therapy is trying to “convert” same-sex attracted people to straighthood. That is not the same as telling people that it’s not possible to change sex.

Same-sex attraction harms no one. Gender ideology harms its adherents and women and, ironically, same-sex attracted people.

It’s interesting that the rival monotheisms are so hostile to each other. There is only one god and it’s NOT the one you’re bending the knee to. Bang bang.

The number of people arrested in the wake of the Manchester synagogue terror attack has risen to six as the attacker “may have been influenced by extreme Islamist ideology”, police have confirmed.

Jihad Al-Shamie drove a black Kia Picanto into worshippers at the Heaton Park synagogue and stabbed congregants on Thursday.

Two men were killed and three seriously injured in the terror attack which took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

What could possibly go wrong?

When the Vienna Regional Court for Civil Matters permitted the enforcement of an arbitration ruling based explicitly on Sharia law, the decision passed largely without international notice.

Yet its implications are profound – not merely for Austria, but for Europe as a whole. At stake is nothing less than whether the continent retains its secular constitutional foundations, or whether it drifts into the dangerous territory of legal pluralism, where parallel systems of justice compete against the law of the land.

Parallel but not comparable. Allah hates women; Quranic law is not fair to women, to put it mildly.

Critics are right to warn that this ruling risks legitimising “parallel societies.” For decades, European leaders have

Cultural differences…

On a visit to New Zealand, FBI Director Kash Patel gave the country’s police and spy bosses gifts of inoperable pistols that were illegal to possess under local gun laws and had to be destroyed, New Zealand law enforcement agencies told The Associated Press.

Such a thoughtful present. How about an electric chair next time?

Inoperable weapons are treated as though they’re operable in New Zealand if modifications could make them workable again. The pistols were judged by gun regulators to be potentially operable and were destroyed, New Zealand’s Police Commissioner Richard Chambers told AP in a statement Tuesday.

From The Times last March:

Doctors will be banned from giving transgender children a new NHS record after it emerged that biological sex had been erased from official data.

Wes Streeting, the health secretary, said it was wrong that doctors were changing the NHS numbers of children if they changed gender. He has told the health service to stop giving out new NHS numbers to under-18s.

A review ­commissioned by the last government and ­released on Wednesday found that the word “gender” started to replace “sex” in the collection of data in the 1990s and that for the past ten years ­“robust and accurate data on biological sex” had been lost.

The Green Party doesn’t want women defending women’s rights.

Women’s rights campaigners have claimed they are victims of discrimination after being banned from the Green Party conference.

Invidious discrimination, they mean.

The Green Women’s Declaration (GWD), a group advocating for sex-based rights for women, were told two days before the party’s conference that their stall booking was cancelled and they would not be allowed to recruit members. The group said the move “undermines the rights of women to advocate for single-sex spaces, services, and sports — rights that are protected under UK law”.

Sometimes protected. Other times, as we see, not protected.

The ban is the latest argument between those in the party who believe in sex-based rights and
