Uh oh. Parliament has a new bill coming up that will torpedo women’s rights all over again.

Women’s rights campaigners have been warning ministers that the bill, which is intended to introduce a new digital ID system, will play havoc with the ability of companies such as gym chains and public bodies like the NHS and police to ascertain someone’s sex – just after the Supreme Court ruling intended to bring much-needed clarity.

The bill will allow people to prove their identity and facts about themselves by using a new voluntary Government app that is linked to what the bill calls “digital verification services” (DVS), backed by a government “trustmark”. It will draw data from a number of sources but

Well great: they’re just going to go on enforcing trans dogma anyway.

Trump and his toads continue their push to grab Greenland.

The U.S. is stepping up its intelligence-gathering efforts regarding Greenland, drawing America’s spying apparatus into President Trump’s campaign to take over the island, according to two people familiar with the effort.

Several high-ranking officials under Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard issued a “collection emphasis message” to intelligence-agency heads last week. They were directed to learn more about Greenland’s independence movement and attitudes on American resource extraction on the island. 

As one does before an invasion.

 The Greenland order, which went to agencies including the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, underscores the administration’s apparent commitment to seek control of the self-governing

From the Department of Random Sadism:

Lawyers representing a number of immigrants asked a federal judge on Wednesday to “urgently” block the Trump administration from deporting a group of people to Libya, Saudi Arabia or any other country where they are not citizens until the U.S. government gives them a chance to contest the removals.

The lawyers asked Judge Brian E. Murphy in Boston to rule quickly after reports that federal immigration officers were preparing to expel people from Vietnam, Laos and the Philippines to Libya, a troubled North African nation “notorious for its human rights violations, especially with respect to migrant residents,” their emergency motions says.

Libya??? Why Libya? Why not Vietnam, Laos and the Philippines? Just what … Read the rest

Oh good, it seems we’re spying on Denmark, and by spying of course I mean casing the joint.

Denmark has said that it will summon the US ambassador to Copenhagen to respond to reports that US intelligence agencies have been ordered to increase espionage in Greenland.

The Danish foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, said on Wednesday that he was concerned about the report in the Wall Street Journal, telling the Ritzau news agency: “It worries me a lot, because we don’t spy between friends.”

Speaking on his way to a meeting in Warsaw, he added: “I can’t know if it’s true because it’s in a newspaper. But it doesn’t seem to be strongly rejected by those who speak

It’s like inviting people over for dinner and then insisting you want to buy their children.

Here was newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney making his first visit to the Oval Office to see President Donald Trump, who has spent months musing about turning America’s northern neighbor into the 51st state.

It didn’t take long for a reporter to ask about what was on everyone’s mind. Trump said he was still interested in annexing Canada, describing the border between the two countries as nothing more than an arbitrary line.

Well that’s true of a lot of borders. The exact spot where they’re drawn is sometimes “an arbitrary line” as opposed to a river or a canyon or an ocean. … Read the rest

Well, that’s clear enough. Message received.

Is it the end of the road for stupid language games?

The NHS must use “plain English” in guidance for women and transgender people, Wes Streeting has said.

The Health Secretary stressed that women should not be “excluded or erased” in an effort for the NHS to be “trans inclusive”, such as by referring to “people with cervixes”.

He criticised the “totally misguided attempts” of NHS managers to be inclusive by removing the word women, which has included phrases such as “birthing people” and “chestfeeding”.

Misguided, idiotic, and profoundly contemptuous of women. You don’t be “inclusive” by erasing the female half of humanity.

Asked about NHS language on cervical screening, Mr Streeting said

The very best most compassionate people support trans ideology.

Don’t worry, they also call her a cunt – no misogynist insult is neglected.… Read the rest

What’s wrong with this claim?

According to the Proud Trust, an LGBT+ charity that goes into schools, being a ‘trans woman’ is no different to being a ‘tall woman’ or a ‘French woman’.

Even after the Supreme Court judgment, children are being ideologically indoctrinated.

Yet, the government does nothing. pic.twitter.com/an6WMt92fz

The indoctrination is wrong, as James says, but what else?

It’s a ridiculous childish lie, that’s what. “Trans” is not an adjective like “tall” or “French.” It’s not even an adjective, in fact. It’s just a negation. It could be replaced with “not.” (“Not” is not an adjective.)

Oh no oh horrors queer Australians are staying home.

Queer Australians are axing travel plans to Washington DC’s World Pride festival, as Donald Trump’s executive orders targeting LGBTQ+ rights leads to fears of discrimination at the US border and potential attacks.

He isn’t actually targeting lesbian and/or gay rights though. I hate him as much as you do but that lede is just a lie. It’s the usual lie, the one that pretends lesbian and gay rights are the same as purported trans rights, when they’re not even close. Purported trans rights are about being believed and endorsed and pampered and worshipped as women if you’re men and men if you’re women. There are no such rights. There is … Read the rest

Ugh god this fucking guy.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told President Trump on Tuesday that Canada “is not for sale,” nor will it be.

Trump has repeatedly threatened Canadian sovereignty, but Carney’s Liberal Party staged a political comeback by rallying against Trump’s annexation threats.

“Never say never,” Trump responded, to which Carney repeatedly said: “Never.”

Don’t you tell me not to say never you disgusting bullying pea-brained pile of shit.

No doubt that’s what Trump has said to women as he slammed them up against a wall and tore at their clothes.

Ahead of the meeting, Trump criticized Canada-U.S. relations on Truth Social. During the meeting, though, he said, “regardless of anything, we’re gonna be friends with Canada.”

That’s the ticket! Harass the scientists until they get fed up and leave. Who needs scientists? We want advertisers and PR geniuses and movie stars, not scientists.

As the Trump administration slashes support to research institutions and threatens to freeze federal funding to universities like Harvard and Columbia, European leaders are offering financial help to U.S.-based researchers and hoping to benefit from what they are calling a “gigantic miscalculation.”

“Nobody could imagine a few years ago that one of the great democracies of the world would eliminate research programs on the pretext that the word ‘diversity’ appeared in its program,” President Emmanuel Macron of France said on Monday.

One of the former great democracies. We’re one of the crappier … Read the rest

Axios is in a swivet.

Transgender and nonbinary people across the U.S. are navigating an upended sports landscape — on top of additional rollbacks of their protections and civil rights — following President Trump‘s February executive order banning trans athletes from women’s sports.

Same old lie. The issue is male athletes in women’s sports.

“If you can dictate my identity on a sports field, why can’t you then dictate my identity in different areas of public life?” asked Sydney Bauer, a rower, runner and journalist who covers sports and LGBTQ+ rights.

Stupid question. Stupid framing. Stupid choice of words. Nobody’s “dictating” anyone’s “identity.” Some people are pointing out realities and the areas where they make a difference. Nobody … Read the rest

Fears Trump’s foreign film tariffs could ‘wipe out’ UK movie industry

Trump’s WHATS???????

Donald Trump’s threat to impose 100% tariffs on movies made outside the US could wipe out the UK film industry, ministers have been warned, as they came under immediate pressure to prioritise the issue in trade talks with the White House.

100%! Tariffs! On movies!!!

Well hey, at that rate, how about 100% tariffs on foreign books, too? Retroactive, of course.

Statement on Supreme Court judgment on the meaning of ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010

We are leaders of centres, research groups and networks, of scholarship, teaching, learning, and expertise in gender, feminist, women’s and sexuality studies across the UK. We are dismayed by the recent Supreme Court judgment on the meaning of ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010.

Oh I see, they’re expert leaders and leader experts. They know things. They have expertise. They know more than we peasants and nose-pickers do.

Trump admits not knowing anything.

Donald Trump said “I don’t know” when asked if he needed to uphold the US constitution when it comes to giving immigrants the right of due process as he gave a wide-ranging TV interview broadcast on Sunday.

Let’s be very clear. This isn’t some guy waiting to pay for his cigarettes at a 7/11, this is the fucking chief executive of the whole large bossy globally-busy country. He is supposed to know this stuff. Just for a start, he swore an oath to do exactly that, not once but twice. He swore an oath to uphold the constitution and says he doesn’t know if he needs to uphold the constitution. … Read the rest
