#carceral — Public Fediverse posts

Happy #EHRC guidance goes live day to all my disobedient #trans siblings here on #terfIsland.

Citing reasonable concerns, hypotheticals and outliers, ‘gender critics’ used money, influence, and the courts to create a permission structure to exclude us from gendered spaces.

The only people who will actually use it, already had lots of ways to make us unwelcome. Their bullshit is priced in to our lives already and so in a sense nothing has changed.

That still leaves trans people in trouble, in #carceral spaces, in the #nhs, in #school and #endOfLife, and in finding #work. Oh and #sports, if you could ever access them in the first place.

You know what none of us are going to do, though? #exclude ourselves from our lives as they are now, just because a handful of judges decided that a sixteen year old equality law, that protected us, was actually a bathroom ban all along.

We’re also going to seize their ‘third spaces’ rhetoric for our #nonBinary peeps and get on with ending all this gender nonsense!
