We need to get the Amnesty Report into a large media outlet. The truth must be told to the wider public. These anti-rights groups have made the lives of trans + people a living hell in the UK for the past 10 years. Defaming all trans people as predators. When they themselves are the bullies

By ‘political spectrum’ he must mean anyone right of Ed Davy.

Important🧵from Cal at the coal face. “the school staff cried” doesn’t move me any more, it angers me, as they proceed to act on govt policy and cause harm. Streeting told me, meeting the trans youth whose medication he’d removed was “really upsetting for me, really hard”. We need more than tears.

We will fight this guidance 👇

She was not arrested. She was taken in for questioning, charged and released. These facts matter. www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

Absolutely this! In tears reading this thread. Teachers forced to harm trans children by the Labour Party, you must to call it what it is. Labour’s deliberate targeting of trans kids is utterly disgusting, it is bullying. Phillipson, Starmer & Party acquiescers must NEVER be allowed to forget this.

Trans people are banned from everything and can barely name their oppressors lest they are monstered by the media and in parliament. Never mind the threat of jail for not disclosing being trans before a sexual encounter or even for saying some shit. It's surreal being trans in the UK right now.

This is absolutely absurd. Scottish transphobes post worse about trans people, including Heather, all the time and the police sit on their hands. JKR posted an upskirt photo of a trans person, a clear crime, just this week. No action. Talk about two tier policing. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you call Beira's Place, the rape shelter JK Rowling set up specifically so she could deny help to rape victims she suspects of being trans, your call is not confidential and may be listened to by JK Rowling, who may tweet to her audience of millions to ridicule you and express contempt for you.

There is no free speech in the UK, especially if you're trans. While comments like they may be distasteful to some, they're purely expressive and should absolutely be protected speech. They're going after her specifically because she's trans. The UK is not safe for trans people.

A trans woman was arrested in the UK for posting on Bluesky “I hope she was handcuffed to the bed as she screamed in agony." This was a reference to comments made by Widdecombe when she was prisons minister where she supported the handcuffing of Incarcerated pregnant women giving birth.

A step in the right direction. Fireworks traumatise pets, wildlife, veterans and many others. Please respond to the consultation. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Anyone who argues this is just profoundly childish. Speed cameras save lives.

Given that these people are all total idiots it’s sort of surprising that they’re so stupid in the same ways, right? Like it suggests a shared point of origin for their ideas

There's a reason I shout so loud about this. And it's not to distract people. It's because solidarity is incredibly important to me, and it should be to us all. I stand ten toes down with trans folks and all the multiply marginalised. Nothing less than liberation!

the entire anti-vax movement started with a grift (a handful of parents of autistic kids wanted to sue vaccine manufacturers), was enabled by a grift (andrew wakefield wanted to sell his own separate vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella), and now comes full circle as a grift

Happy Disability Pride Month. This month, and every day, we're proud to campaign alongside disabled people for a fairer, more accessible world. You can learn more about the Disabled Greens and their work 👉 disabledgreens.greenparty.org.uk

are young people today aware that there was an active effort 20-25 years ago to stop depicting smoking as cool and glamorous because people got tired of watching their loved ones die of cancer and heart disease from something preventable? seems like classic history repeating itself stuff

As a guy with a lung condition I have through no fault of my own, I couldn’t agree more. Please take care of your healthy lungs if you’re lucky enough to have them.

I’m still dumbfounded at the extent of the Labour government’s transphobia. This sort of policy has one aim, to ensure that trans children don’t become trans adults.

i don’t actually think labour politicians should be welcome at pride. it’s pinkwashing.

🙄

I usually don’t feed the trolls, but I was a theater major. Intersex and nonbinary people have always existed. We always will. We absolutely deserve to be celebrated in song. (We also deserve political representation and ids that make our lives easier, which is why I am running for Congress.)

Trans people were telling everyone that this was the next step, but no one listened.

I’m genuinely overjoyed. The worst English people are upset today.

Love this show.

“We reject the false choice between protecting women and treating trans people with dignity, and believe women’s rights are best advanced when we stand in solidarity with our trans siblings.” Despite what some claim, many women’s organisations fight for trans inclusion as central to women’s rights.

Dear @andyburnham.bsky.social, You have said you want to put "hope in every heart" and lead a Labour Party where debate isn't surpressed. Today, the party you will lead at the start of next week has made clear it will introduce the first major segregation laws in this country in decades.

'trans women are stealing womens rights' is no different from 'black ppl are stealing white rights'.

@andyburnham.bsky.social In Parliament yesterday, you described how the State had failed a group of people. Today, the government you will lead in a week’s time has failed another group of people, whose only ‘crime’ is to exist. Segregation of trans people in everyday life will start on your watch.

Justice for Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero. Justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Justice for all of those targeted and killed by Trump’s militarized immigration forces. Abolish ICE.

Sure. Put the biggest fascist in the cabinet in charge of the country's money. Why not

Absolute clownshow.

When guys are like “that’s not rape, all my friends have done that,” that’s exactly what we’re talking about. That’s the problem. Rape is so common and unpunished that a guy could casually reveal all his friends are rapists and not see it as a problem.

I don't think cis folks realize the seismic impact the rabidly anti-trans UK government has had on the thinking of trans people broadly. Used to be a widespread assumption that while few political parties were good on trans rights, at least centrists would be less horrific than far-right. No more.

Barf.

I had to wait eight months to appeal my PIP, and had an hour long tribunal being questioned by three people. Media must stop printing politician's lies uncritically.

We are so much more powerful than any billionaire. The Green Party is unrecognisable from a year ago. Now we need your help to keep building and transforming politics by getting more councillors, MPs and Mayors elected. Support our biggest crowdfunding campaign 👉 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/greens

heh, what about thatcher? FUCK OFF. FUCK OFF. FUCK OFF. FUCK OFF. by every single metric this government is worse than thatcher.

The Green Party will tax the super-rich. Not take orders from them.

Trans segregation starts on the 5th of August. We will not comply.

I’d love every single one of these brain dead politicians and columnists to live on what I get from universal credit and then see how ‘generous’ they think it is.

Please share widely. transgenderreport.com/amnesty-reve...

Starmer's government was more viciously queerphobic than the Tories ever were. From making the puberty blocker ban permanent on day 1, to the transphobic schools guidance, to the conversion therapy protection bill, and all topped off by the EHRC's Segregationist Charter. That is his legacy.

Hrs left it a far better place for bigots.

Above all, Farage really hates any scrutiny. He shouldn’t have gone into politics then.

This post on Twitter is attracting hundreds of antisemites trying to come up with slurs for white people who are supposedly betraying the white race by being into Jews, when the word "shiksa" is right there waiting.
