Are you an island?
If no, then I’m not talking to you, personally. You can crawl back into your hole.
I’m all about taking pot shots at the US, but “better at trans rights than Texas or Florida” isn’t what you are looking for.
Also, if the best you can do for “we’re not transphobic honest” is cross dressing entertainment, well, yikes.
I know, but they are the right 5%.
You have the Guardian publishing their tripe, you have labor MPs all anxious about self-ID laws etc.
Unless the other 95% start making up for some serious lost time, it’s going to remain TERF island.
I mean, sure, but when a considerable number of the low information voters are uncritically spreading memes produced by domestic extremists inspired by narratives devised by state actors and pushed through state media, is it domestic or foreign? Does it even matter?
This is not a hypothetical. This is literally how major disinformation has spread since MH17, through Brexit, the 2016 election, Covid and beyond.
The Russians, the Iranians, the proud boys and uncle Jack in the family WhatsApp are all part of the same hydra of crap.

I also keep hearing "foreign disinfo" but that makes me chuckle. Of course it exists but it's not more potent than the domestic disinfo which is even more plentiful.
I’m not sure the distinction is easy to make, or all that meaningful.
The most powerful country in the world is a large disinformation piñata. You whack it with a few memes and poor decisions come out.
You can’t fault hostile intelligence for giving it a go, and there are a lot of hostile intelligence services.
It’s really well documented and easy to config. You just open the page for your IDP, follow the instructions, set a few config setting and you’re off.
The user interface is also really good at this. Often custom identity providers feel hacked on, here it’s integrated really well.
I believe the implementation is based on nextauth.js
My only cultural clue was Neuromancer (it’s the name of the tug that brings Case to the Spindle). I’m very white and very nerdy ;)
What you have to me is literally the trans ally-ship equivalent of “there is no race problem, black comedians are so popular”.
It’s not worth engaging with other than with empathy and pity.
Hence “oh honey”.
