They've been pushing this just as long as the US and UK have and Australians don't seem particularly interested. Even in the US it only really gains traction in the red states, for obvious reasons. (Still remains a bit of a puzzle to me as to how and why the UK went so thoroughly TERF-brained, though.)

The Mumsnet explanation is definitely my favourite one but I can't really truly bring myself to believe it

I thought it was due to the UK being so blanketed in Murdoch media that no matter where you turn there's a news show, newspaper or whatever blasting trans people?

I don't think I was this loving pissed off when Joe Hockey handed down his trash gently caress-the-poor budget.

Mumsnet used to get Reddit style Q&A sessions with prominent political figures all the time and it has a huge user base. The moral panic stuff was spread on there. The mainstream media make it louder but the largest parenting assistance website in the UK got targeted by anti trans activists and pitched a message that resonated with users. It's a real internet makes you stupid success story.

Lol i read some history of Mumsnet and now I've learnt that it is legal in the UK for sales representatives to access maternity wards in hospitals in order to sell expecting or new mothers products room by room like door to door salespeople.

I'm sure all the people being sold to are in a condition to both receive visitors and make rational economic decisions. I absolutely wouldn't throw anyone through a wall who tried this on with me present.

I am pretty sure if anyone tried that at my old ward at SCGH, the nurse coordinator there would go super saiyan and murder whoever attempted it. She was a very very very scary person if you got on her wrong side (but the most amazing, caring and protective person towards her patients).

Scott Morrison tried to stoke the TERF fire back in August 2019 when he threw a fit about gender neutral bathrooms in parliament house but it didn't gain a lot of traction. The LNP were super keen to spring into action on the issue, though: quote:Internal emails obtained under freedom of information laws – but heavily redacted – reveal deputy and assistant secretaries worked into the night after Mr Morrison seized on a tweet by a high-profile journalist and insisted the "ridiculous" bathroom signs be taken down. They obviously had to put a pin in that all throughout covid when they had a tastier culture war to fight but now that the pandemic has mostly dropped out of the news cycle they'll be getting back to business. Australia also has a growing number of conspiracy weirdos and they're always obsessed with crazy pedophilia accusations so they'll no doubt go hand in hand with TERFS. Here's a QANON protester in Melbourne during the 2020 lockdowns:

Ps Bucky you should sue the abc for copyright infringement https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-17/voice-referendum-infected-disinformation-australians-lies/102981108 The Voice campaign was infected with disinformation. Who's in charge of inoculating Australians against lies?

Eediot Jedi posted:Ps Bucky you should sue the abc for copyright infringement The goal of my stuff has always been to get journalists to talk about it so it's good to see them start to catch up and I'd much rather buy that guy a beer. Election misinformation is only one tiny part of it. Like snowglobe said, said pedophilia narratives are way more pervasive, and probably more powerful, and yes that fits unsettlingly well with anti-trans narratives. And it doesn't have an AEC equivalent to counter it. No one is in charge, and even the suggestion that perhaps there should be carries unavoidable and worryingly Orwellian overtones. But that's a decent article, thanks. quote:For years, Russian deception campaigns injected a plume of lies into the British public debate. Spread by cable television station RT and a horde of internet bots, the disinformation amplified an already growing sense of chaos. Indeed Linton, indeed.

Budzilla posted:I got summons to do jury duty in 3 weeks time. Any suggestions to keep my sanity for 4 weeks? If it's anything like mine years ago, good luck. I was elected foreman despite only being 20 at the time because I was the only one who had paid any attention to the instructions we were given by the judge. The rest of my group were all retirees with nothing better to do with their time and who didn't pay much attention to things like evidence. It might help to focus on being potentially the only bulwark against a jury voting by its gut instead of the case presented to them. But that might just break your sanity sooner.

It's no His Dark Materials, but I read the entire Harry Potter series to my kids and it's fine to good. Except the climax of the big climactic battle scene being Mrs Weasly yelling "you BITCH!" at one of the bad guys. Felt incongruous for a kids book. Also the logic behind setting him up in the tri-wizard tournament to get him to touch the thing at the end which would transport him to the villain's lair, when it would have been a million times easier for them to make literally anything else a transporter, and get him to touch that instead. Now I'm going through The Keys to The Kingdom series, by an Australian guy, and it's... eh. Kind of messy and weird and tiring. We're four sevenths of the way through and I've asked if we could bail but they said no, so on we march. I, Butthole posted:Somethings wrong, the abc article isn't a nine hour read though oh hey look it's this joke again. how flattering to be the sole focus of your posts in this thread. It's a pretty good start, give him a break.
