Stuck where past and future meet

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Athena lead, obviously

Trucy is back as primary weirdgirl

The explanation for the mood matrix tutorial that will inevitably occur is that widget breaks and Athena has to learn to hear emotions without an aid. Trucy is a great assistant for this because she has perceive but doesn't have a bracelet to aid her. Athena closes her eyes and sees the mood matrix in her mind.

Wright is mysteriously absent. Athena is incredibly vague about it à la Edgeworth in JFA. Thinks things like "(if only Mr. Wright was still here with us...)" When someone asks Trucy says things like "Daddy's in a better place now". Then in the last case he shows up in a Hawaiian shirt and it's revealed he's just been on honeymoon. Athena was vague on accident but Trucy was doing it on purpose because she thought it was funny.

Kay is the new primary detective. She and Trucy get along so well.

Kitaki family bakery is the scene of a crime and/or relevant to a case. Athena is blissfully unaware that the Kitaki's are former gangsters. Trucy is unwilling to communicate this to Athena because she thinks its funny.

Klavier finally gets to be defendant. His case involves a witness who's a Klavier Gavin fangirl. Her name is Arpie Effe and her hair is a loose approximation of the drill. She is live-blogging the whole case and her phone never leaves her hands. In her shocked animation she goes completely still while her phone buzzes wildly in her hands. I'm imagining Athena uses the mood matrix and is like hey why were you happy at this part of your testimony and the fangirl timidly explains there was evidence towards proving klapollo was real.

Iris is released from prison and is around for a case. Maybe pearl visits with her idk

I am begging the UK trans community and its allies to attend the Mass Lobby at Parliament on June 25th, 11am-4pm, organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance.

The new EHRC Code of Practice pushes trans people out of toilets, hospital wards, and community spaces. It normalises gender policing based on appearance and stereotypes. It becomes statutory guidance in the UK by the end of June.

Trans people are now legally their assigned gender at birth and must join gendered spaces accordingly, but if they are perceived as their lived gender, they can also be ejected from those spaces. The guidance says: either break the law, or don’t pass too well.

A mass lobby is where you invite your MP to discuss your concerns with you in-person. Ask your MP to:

Demand full parliamentary scrutiny, debate, and use their free vote on the EHRC Code of Practice.

Support any motions rejecting the EHRC guidance. As of June 4th, Labour MP Nadia Whittome has submitted a prayer motion - Early Day Motion 240.

Write to Bridget Phillipson, the Minister for Women and Equalities about our concerns

Your MP does not have to be an ally, they do not have to respond to your email for you to show up and greencard them (details below the cut.) What matters is that as many people as possible show up.

I cannot stress this enough: Showing up in person matters. It is much more effective than petitions, emails, and letters.

It is a horrible, stressful time, and I am so sorry if you're trans and live in the UK. But I was at last year's mass lobby and the line for greencarding alone stretched around the back gates. It was a record breaking mass lobby and made us impossible to ignore. Let's do even better this time. Details under the cut:
