  • From the article:

    The move comes after Linzi Smith, 34, a gender-critical lesbian from Newcastle, brought a case against Northumbria Constabulary, arguing that it had been wrong to allow uniformed officers to actively participate in an event that promoted gender ideology and was supported by transgender activists.

    From the BBC:

    People who filled out the 2021 census in England and Wales were asked: “Is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth?” According to the ONS, 262,000 people - around 0.5% of the population - answered “no”.

    The ONS states that there are 60,238,000 total people in England and Wales.

    Gender critical people, almost always cis women, can go to hell. They go out of their way to try (and lately succeed) to suppress any support for trans people and to exclude trans women from any space that is oriented for women. They fear monger, calling us perverts and degenerates that want to prey on poor, defenseless, innocent women.

    Anyone who advocates for the disenfranchisement of trans people is an objectively shit person. We just want to live our lives and not be singled out for discrimination.






  • That seems quite difficult to combat. Especially if there is a 0 day exploit based in the web browser for iOS or Android devices that attackers could use for their nefarious purposes.

    Not sure about Android, but on iOS, when one scans a QR code it shows the web address on the screen that the user then taps on. For the average user, I doubt that they are going to question what the URL is before following through to the website.

    Perhaps Apple and Google could implement a sort of verification that a link is suspect or not, and prompt the user to either proceed or not. Anti-phishing blocklists are a thing, so it would seem that it wouldn’t be too difficult. Though that would not stop domains that have not been added to the blocklists from passing the verification attempts.



  • Perhaps I should clarify “intended effect” as it being a thin veil. They can claim they are doing this to protect children from all predators, while simultaneously repeating the groomers line over and over again.

    In my opinion, it seems a little too coincidental that they pass this law in a state that has a very hostile anti-LGBTQ+ stance, while also attempting to portray us as child predators.

    It’s possible that I am drawing conclusions incorrectly, but I sincerely doubt it.


  • Keep in mind that these are the small steps they are taking to get to the point where we are afraid to be seen in public.

    At first it’s protect children from learning about LGBTQ+ culture by banning education, removing books (they don’t need to burn the books, they just remove ‘em). All in the name of stopping the spread of a radical agenda. Bear in mind we make up around 1-2% of the population in the US.

    Then it is banning healthcare for minors, which consists of support, social transition and possibly puberty blockers. This is to protect the children from being “surgically mutilated”. Never mind the fact that children do not receive trans surgical interventions.

    Next comes capital punishment for sex crimes against children. For now, it is reserved for physical sexual assaults.

    The latest attempt against trans people was banning all trans healthcare for those on Medicaid. Trans patients account for approximately 0.4% of those on Medicaid. Around 276,000 trans people (as of 2022) out of 71,258,215 total people on Medicaid.

    It is not much of a stretch to assume that they will continue to attempt to backdoor their way to banning trans health care for all trans Americans.

    What’s after that? Classify presenting a trans, but obfuscated as “drag performances”, in any public setting. The public support of these laws has been from the messaging, by successfully equating drag performances with being based upon indecency. This is limited to 2 states at the moment, but the fact that it is illegal anywhere in the country is deeply disturbing.

    In my opinion, they will continue to push further and further to make us fear being clocked (caught) in public, by legislating us into criminality. This may seem like a leap, but overall support for trans people has declined in recent years. While the major drops in support revolve around trans athletes and healthcare for minors, these issues are overblown and are used to erode public opinion of us.

    TL;DR: The overall outlook for us right now is not good. I don’t expect ya to follow each link, I just wanted to back up my claims with reliable sources.
