The EHRC Guidance on single-sex spaces is unjust and unworkable. That's why UNISON are demanding MPs stand with trans and non-binary workers and oppose the guidance.

Happy Pride. This month we're honoring queer comics pioneers who built the road we walk on. First up: Howard Cruse. He founded Gay Comix in 1980 and created Wendel for The Advocate in 1983. The godfather of queer comics. We exist because he did.

Now the UK toilet debacle has more clarification, the fair thing is to make all toilets gender neutral. It will stop queues outside women's loos, stop discrimination against trans folk. trans-criticals are obv fine with cis men who commit the vast majority of crime, so letâs make it all unisex.

From Mathias Ănard and

Very good thread, also will say the obvious that even if it were somehow true that the number of goods under discussion was "small" this would not be an argument against implementing a ban on their import. In fact it would remove the argument that it would be difficult.
