This isn't encouraging me that there's a party that can be relied upon to support trans rights apart from Plaid and I don't live in Wales!

It is also worth reading this joint statement from @mind.org.uk, @mencap.org.uk and @autisticsociety.bsky.social on the harm this ruling will cause through, as they so accurately put it, "The biggest rollback of disability rights in a generation". 8/ www.mencap.org.uk/press-releas...

I regret that leaving Monkey Cage was necessary, but I will never regret leaving people who considered siding with hatred was more important than siding with our many non binary and trans listeners - each day I see the further empowerment of hate , the more I realise there was no other option

As NION Women, we care about being a society that leaves no one behind, where everyone can feel safe and fully participate. That includes trans+ people, who have been increasingly blamed for problems they didn't cause - and who have faced growing hostility for the best part of a decade.

I've donated to fight the appalling updated EHRC code of practice today which marginalises the trans community and effectively implements segregation and outing of trans people. I hope you will too if you care about the UK's slide into fascism goodlawproject.org/s/5fa0c2

"When these appalling attacks happen to the Jewish community, we have the correct response. When it happens to other communities.. not the same urgency is applied" Natasha Devon with some facts.

Good today to see the high court strike down the half million pound fine and judgement against the University of Sussex for not banning protests against anti-trans Professor Stock. The judge was scathing about the original judgement,if Phillipson moves forward with these new laws it will a travesty

I'm horrified that my youngest who is 18 is not planning to vote on May 7th, the first election he's been eligible to vote in. For his older siblings this was a welcomed right of passage. Any suggestions for good videos about the importance of exercising one's democratic right? #UKPolitics

My legal case against the Labour Party is the first to test the Supreme Court Judgment FWS v SGM. Can you help to 'stop the rot' of losing trans rights? £460 required to get to £9000 please share and pledge. www.crowdjustice.com/case/justice...

1. Incredible news out of Romania. An appeals court in the country has forced them to recognize the legal gender of a trans man. It is the first known internal enforcement of a 2024 EU Court ruling. Romania has ranked last by ILGA on LGBTQ+ rights in EU. Subscribe to support our journalism.

We need you help this petition needs your signature ✍️ let’s show the government we’re still here and we’re not going to lay down and roll over while they and the media attack us 💚 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

Uplifting to take part in @togetheralliance.bsky.social march with Song Bloc (I'm sitting on the grass at the front of the photo in a red coat) but I had to write to Together Alliance to ask why they let Filia march. They aren't truly antifascist if they let fascist trans exclusionary groups march!

Hey Together can you explain how, for an antifascist organisation, you let these fascists/fascist sympathisers at your event?:

Following the IOC sports ban. Members of the Green Party are looking to get an emergency motion to the conference to oppose it. But they need 50 signatures! If you are a member you can sign for it here: springconf2026.greenparty.org.uk/std/Opposing...

Palantir’s technologies are used by the powerful to attack the powerless. This company should not be involved in our public services. Sign this petition if you agree act.globaljustice.org.uk/get-palantir...

This is just… so, so extremely upsetting. A devastating exclusionary step, and an awful message to trans girls that their dreams have limits. We have to keep standing up against the spread of hate, fear and division that led us here. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

Apparently, the hate group Sex Matters has been badgering M&S with their conspiracy theory and new pet legal theory that unisex-only facilities are still unlawful, after they failed to advance the Schedule 3 gotcha in GLP v EHRC. And here’s M&S’s general counsel’s response.

Girl Guiding's cruel decision today to exclude existing members who happen to be Transgender, has direct comparision to their "Whites Only" stance throughout the 1930s-40s when Black and Brown girls were blocked from membership in South Africa. Different century, same prejudice. #ForAllGirls

Well, well, well…. So the SC ruling only now applies to parts of the U.K. This claim of inconsistency between Scotland and England is what the UK government used to block the Scottish government’s Gender Recognition Reform Bill, by triggering Section 35 of the 1998 Scotland Act.

Streeting has a full review into diagnosis of ADHD and Autism that shows there is no overdiagnosis. But he’s commissioned another in the hope of getting a result that lets him strip people of healthcare. Please consider signing this petition against it: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

I know I’ve got some Labour local gov’t types following me, so I want to say this clearly so that you can share it internally as appropriate: I will never again vote Labour while these policies, or Wes Streeting, are in place. I will not vote Labour at any level because of this.

To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Things are grim so here's my cute cats

This is an attack Gillick Competence, and without a doubt the beginnings of an assault on the supply of birth control to young people. I was 17 when I started taking HRT. If you’re over 16, then by English law you can legally consent to your own healthcare.

This is a Blackwork sample I did in the shape of a larch pine cone for my level 2 City and Guilds Hand Embroidery course

This handy flowchart is for any fellow cis people out there who have someone in their lives who come out to them as trans.

this is a masterclass response to Mahmood's latest hate mongering from Zack.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75... I’m not sure if this is even possible but as somebody somewhere said “you can have clean water and you can have privatised water but you can’t have clean privatised water”.

Lots of bright Green Parakeets noisily flying around the Heath when I walked for my morning swim today. Seemed very apt for the morning of the @greenparty.org.uk victory for Hannah Spencer @mcrgreenparty.bsky.social

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

Are you watching Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

In light of this I think any reasonable person must conclude that the Pathways trial has been compromised, and as such its findings will be fundamentally contaminated and unsuitable as evidence in any assessment of transgender healthcare Shut it down. Give trans kids the PBs and hormones they need.

Zack's gone back in time to do his PPB from my Mum & Dad's old house in Leyton in the early 70s. The message is bang up to date though (tax the billionaires) with the setting bringing nostalgia for pre-Thatcher times before rampant privatisation

My dude, for immigrants, trans people and the disabled, the person wandering around with the candle snuffer is you.

This is our news read out: "Service providers may lawfully allow trans women to use women’s facilities without being forced to open them to cis men" and "the EHRC’s exclusionary draft Code of Practice does not accurately reflect the law and the Minister will have to send it back to be rewritten."

Utterly vile dog whistle. Oddly, the right-wing media never asks wether it's being white and male that drives the overwhelming majority of school shooters

youtu.be/6RFBta8KSVg?... Thank you @labourlewis.bsky.social Clive is saying what WE ARE ALL SAYING - and yes- we were aware of this before the Mandelson/Epstein saga.

BREAKING: WIN 🏳️‍⚧️ 💥 The High Court just refused Sex Matters' permission to ban trans women from the Hampstead ponds. We're relieved that the ponds can remain a place where trans people have always belonged. Thank you to the all the people that pushed back against division.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century. youtu.be/8saU0WeocP0

What exactly are you implying here @theguardian.com ? This isn't an unusual rate for consultation from an expert. You seem quite silent on all the men employed to do similar roles at similar salaries. Seems pretty misogynistic to me.
