Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

Do people understand yet that this was never about reasonable concerns. That no compromise would ever be enough for them. They want to be able to actively discriminate against us. They want us not to exist.

The fact that SM are demanding this guidance be withdrawn on the grounds that it still give trans people some scraps of rights, demonstrates that only the full legal erasure of trans people will be acceptable to them. And even then, you can be sure they still won’t be happy.

And for those of us with GRCs, we’re between a rock and a hard place: we’re no longer our gender in the EA, but still our gender in the GRA. If I were to marry, I’d be legally female at the ceremony, but when I needed the toilet at the reception, I’d be legally expected to use the men’s.

Today’s the anniversary of the passing into law of Section 28 in 1988, the first homophobic legislation in a century. Politicians and media said it was our own fault, told us to shut up and give up. We didn’t. Dont you dare give up now on trans people.

The rapid rise of 'gender critical' organisations in the UK shows ahigh volume of anti-trans media coverage and increasing spending by 51 organisations www.wearequeeraf.com/jk-rowling-m...

From 1st to 22nd — in just a decade, the UK has slid down Europe’s LGBTQIA+ rights rankings following successive rollbacks of rights and a barrage of anti-Trans+ rhetoric

You’re not alone. Our trained LGBTQIA+ volunteers are here to listen to any concerns you may have as a result of the revised EHRC guidance being laid before parliament. We’ve supported the community through trials and tribulations for over 50 years, and we’re here for you today.

Gonna cancel stream for tonight as I forgot there was something I wanted to get to that doesn't finish till 6:30. Will see you tomorrow.

With the EHRC guidance looming. I just want to remind people that any actions, protests, letter writing campaigns that we hear will be organised will be published on this website: whatthetrans.com/compilation-...

This is why you really shouldn't trust the immediate reporting on, eg, the code, or about legal cases. It is genuinely remarkable the extent to which reporting does not get even the most basic details correct. Please wait for actual analysis from the law and policy experts working in this space.

As a teacher of English, I can definitively state that yes, this is exactly what happened. Particularly, the curse words. ◡̈

New EHRC guidance is due today. Remember: ➡️ Early reports based on unattributed briefings are spin, not facts. ➡️ This is civil law around who can and cannot bring discrimination claims - not criminal law. ➡️ Whatever it says, it is a choice by this government. They can fix it. ➡️ We will keep going.

Changed some of the settings on my PS4 so stream should be able to go ahead, I'll be streaming FFXV as we missed it last night.

Looks like no stream tonight, my PS4 has decided I have no services to be able to stream to in my region so I'm going to have to try and figure out how to fix it.

Still looking for a job at the minute or I'd be all over these but if anyone else is in a position to get new dice.

More from the General Assembly in Edinburgh: The Kirk has condemned Tommy Robinson and urged Scottish churches to welcome refugees into their congregations. @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/wes...

It's frightening that it took the World Health Organisation until 1990 to declassify homosexuslity as a disease.

For the first time in well over a decade I won't be watching Eurovision. Decided to do a movie marathon of the original Star Wars trilogy instead.

We made history last week, but to transform Scotland the @scottishgreens.org need your help. Join our movement today and be part of building a fairer, greener, kinder Scotland ✍️👇 members.greens.scot/join/standar...

Is anybody looking into what Josh Simons get from standing down to let Burnham stand? Simon’s is Labour Together which is the shady group supporting Labours move to the right! What do they want from Burnham!

I'd managed it on Twitter, but I think that was because I'd been there since the very early days of the platform.

No script, have to recite it from memory, filling in the bits you can't remember with your own interpretation of the story.

"and who do you talk to when you're struggling?" "um, I give exhaustive details to about 6000 pity followers on a small text-based platform?" "What, why?" "I guess because I came online with Livejournal?"

May be a little late with stream this evening as I have a job interview in Edinburgh.

Fingers crossed that I get the job I interviewed for this morning, it's the best interview I've given so far and is somewhere I'd really love to work.

Millionaires are five times more concerned about doctors leaving the UK than they are about other millionaires emigrating 💸 Our poll also found millionaires are proud to live in the UK, and they're willing to pay more tax to invest in our country and its young people.

It's going to be a very exciting time in the Scottish Greens join.greens.scot

Together we can build a fairer, greener Scotland.

Best adaption of The Odyssey, wrong answers only

A reminder for the in-person voters. IGV are on every regional ballot today. They exist solely to try to confuse people who want to vote Scottish Green. They succeeded in preventing at least two Scottish Green candidates from being elected in 2021. If you're a Green voter please don't be fooled.

As a reminder, fir the Scottish Elections you *do not* need ID.

Another reminder, for everyone voting tomorrow. Vote for the real Scottish Greens - be sure to avoid the far-right spoiler candidates standing as fake greens. Look for "Scottish Green Party" and our logo!

Making bus travel free for all is one of the simplest, quickest and most effective steps we can take to build a fairer, greener Scotland. 🟢 More money in your pocket 🟢 Less pollution in your air 🟢 Less congestion on your streets

With the right investment Scotland can be at the forefront of an emerging global industry. By capitalising on our huge renewable energy potential we can ensure tens of thousands of long-term, secure jobs are created and kept in Scotland.

When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this: They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain. They don't want a wealth tax. They don't want public ownership & lower bills. They're trying everything in their power to stop us.

Scotland wouldn't be the country it is today without people coming here from all over the world. Their contributions to our economy, society and culture are incalculable. Scotland must always remain an open and welcoming country.

Vote for hope Vote Scottish Greens on Thursday

There is no climate justice without social justice! 💚🌍 You can catch my full chat with Grado here: youtu.be/hdHMCZvcoRo?...

Quite tired so won't be streaming tonight. Hopefully be back Thursday.

Unless you want - councils with worse services and higher council tax teetering towards bankruptcy and Councillors who support - yet more Tory austerity - a dismantled NHS health system - ICE-style vigilante justice Vote for the best candidate to beat Reform!

At school, Nigel Farage followed Jewish boys telling them 'Hitler was right' Now he denies it, or says it was just a phase - but Reform's 'careful vetting' keeps giving approval to candidates who think just the same ... meme via Marcus Dare

The head of the International Energy Agency has warned that more drilling in the North Sea won't improve energy security, won't lower bills, and doesn't make economic sense. Investing in renewables is a choice he has "never heard that anybody ever regretted."

With less than two weeks until polling day, our candidates and supporters are still getting out to chat and listen to people. If you can support us with a donation of any size, that would be a great help as we approach the election! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/edinburgh-...

Have no idea what happened to Aldershot this last quarter of the season. If this game finishes as is they'll have scored 60 goals in the first 33 games, and in the last 13 games scored 9. Currently being beaten 2-0 by the bottom of the league. (1/2?)

'Better for more young trans people to die than us admit our policy choices are killing them": this now seems to be Labour's position. I'm sorry we have to write about this stuff. But unless we do, nothing will change. CW: suicide.

If your main interest in anti-Semitism is as a stick with which to beat your political opponents you're a big part of the problem, you. Well said, and vitally important, from @zackpolanski.bsky.social.

I'll be on BBC Question Time tonight from Aberdeen. With 2 weeks to go until the election, let's demand better. Vote Scottish Greens! 💚
