Despite their court victory, UK TERFs lament that they have no friends

A grimacing Graham Linehan next to the headline "uk terfs sad no one likes them except the supreme court."

UK TERFs are still basking in the warm afterglow of a UK Supreme Court ruling last week that went in their favor, essentially declaring that trans women aren’t women, legally at least. While the ultimate effects of the ruling are still uncertain, and there are still laws on the books that ostensibly protect UK’s trans citizens, it’s clear that the ruling is a disaster for trans citizens of the UK.

J.K. Rowling: “It is dangerous to assert that any category of people deserves a blanket presumption of innocence”

Does J.K. Rowling believe that trans people — or at least trans women — don’t deserve the presumption of innocence? That seems to be the clear implication of an op-ed she wrote for the Times (UK) today. But she is cagey enough in her wording that she can and probably will figure out a way to say, my goodness, I wasn’t saying anything of the kind.

White Town’s Jyoti Mishra: Stop singing my song, transphobes!

Jyoti on the telly, from “Your Woman”

So over on Ovarit — the Redditesque hangout for TERFs — the regulars in the so-called “Gender Critical” forum were discussing the fact that trans women are still required to register for the draft in the US, as if they were men. Naturally, the “Gender Criticals” found this hilarious.

Alleged “Free Speech Union” wants to ban Drag Queen Story Hour, calling it a “trojan horse for radical gender theory”

Drag Queen coming for your children! Oh, wait, it’s just a pantomime dame. False alarm!

The UK’s badly misnamed “Free Speech Union” wants drag queens to be forbidden from reading children’s books to children in libraries and schools. In a recent post on LinkedIn, of all places, the group warns that drag queens are “trojan horses” for “radical gender theory,” which they somehow infect young children with while reading them “Little Bunny Foo Foo.”

Reddit transphobes: “Transgenderism” is actually a sneaky form of conversion therapy

People protesting actual conversion therapy

“Gender Critical” transphobes like to associate their trans enemies with terrible things. They call trans folks and their allies “Men’s Rights Activists” — because, you see, trans women are really men, so if you support trans people you’re fighting for men’s rights. (I guess trans men, whom transphobes think are women, don’t count.)
