I said when this was announced that the only ethical response was everyone leaving and joining trans inclusive groups in protest. I’m impressed by the hundreds of women who have:

Given the current climate trans people are expected to survive in Diazepam is probably the most important thing on my repeat scripts 🙃 otherwise I might implode

The (fucking stupid) legal answer is, you both (1) don't need to come out to your employer but (2) legally shouldn't use the 'wrong' toilets (and should follow any lawful instruction from your employer). What a nonsense.

It makes me sad and angry at what is happening especially to trans kids. We tried for so many years to help people understand and where did it get us? In a worse place than decades ago 😭

New School Guidance announces: Full bathroom ban. Full PE ban. Full school trip accommodation ban. Trans kids will not go to the bathroom, do PE or go on any school trips. 1/

Every day I hear a new upsetting story about how trans kids are being treated in our schools. When responding to today's important claim that segregation might not apply to workplaces - let's not leave behind our youngest community members who are being completely failed across our schools.

You realise it is three years to the day that Brianna Ghey was murdered. An innocent young girl killed because of transphobia and hate. What's changed in the three years since? Transphobes have upped their attacks. The government has increased discrimination. It doesn't have to be like this.

Enough now Let’s be absolutely clear: Any politician found in possession of indecent images of children is a child sex abuser Any politician who chooses to maintain a relationship with a known abuser is, at a very minimum, enabling child abuse Any politician rewarding these people is complicit

We joined 140 feminist and LGBTQ+ organisations together to call on the United Kingdom to scrap ‘bathroom ban’ policies and ensure trans inclusion 🏳️‍⚧️🇬🇧 transsolidarityalliance.com @transsolidarity.bsky.social

I'm sure someone will be along soon to tell me I should still vote for the SNP 😬

Anas Sarwar quietly hoping, now there's some distance between them, that Starmer takes all the heat for employing the friends of nonces - and that no one notices that he, Anas Sarwar, also has an MSP in his party that is the friend of a nonce.

Since the #Olympics are on, let's repost a classic thread here: a brief history of the practice of "sex verification" in sport. Content warning: This thread will mention anti-intersex discrimination, FGM practices and body shaming.

Anas Sarwar is about to call for Starmer to resign for his appalling judgement when it came to Peter Mandelson. The same Anas Sarwar who proudly posed with his 'old friend' years after everyone knew that Mandelson stuck with Epstein despite his conviction for child sex offences.

What am I doing with my life 🤣

Event: Trans and Non Binary Camping Adventure Weekend. Cost: Free to attend for verifiable members of the community. Where: Isle of Arran, Scotland, via ferry from Ardrossan. When: 1st - 4th May 2026. essehouse.co.uk/essecamp-arr...

The NCMD data on trans kids' suicides between 2019 and 2023 show a four-fold increase in 2021-22. That means we can confidently say that three-quarters of the suicides between 2021 and 2023 (23 trans children) were caused by the puberty-blocker ban. 23 children.

This morning I want to share a brief comment on a QueerAF article that I was quoted in. I particularly want to focus on the the phrase 'gender questioning' children. A short thread 1/

And never forget that Dame Hilary Cass belittled as "shroud wavers" those of us asking, begging, for a regime that would keep trans children alive.

In the Epstein files: billionaires, politicians and royalty Not in the Epstein files: immigrants and trans people Know your enemy

1/🧵 The Scottish Human Rights Commission’s intervention in the case of Scottish Prison Service is excellent. (The SHRC is entirely independent of the EHRC.) Kenny McBrearty KC said Articles 2 & 3 rights are unqualified.

This is a must-read: Appeasing Sex Matters was never about “clarity”. It was about power. What followed the Supreme Court ruling wasn’t calm or resolution, but escalating demands, wider exclusions, and institutions choosing fear over inclusion. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/opinion/what...

It's important to remember, as some people in Scottish Labour will keep reminding us, that they defeated their party's anti-trans leadership in a conference motion last year. This mattered and was important and shows the validity of their continued presence campaigning for the party as we can see:

Way too many of you still following a predator. Sort yer shit out folks

Very important and detailed peer-reviewed critique of the Sullivan Review.

Following the release of the Epstein files Jk Rowling has deleted a decade of port logs belonging to the Super yacht Samsara. What is she hiding?

The House of Lords puts cronies, donors and disgraced politicians like Lord Mandelson in positions of immense power over our country for life. Unelected and unaccountable. Abolish this relic.

At one point Duncan you're just going to just have to own it. This is who you belong too. This is the party that you cannot even begin to think of abandoning. This is what you are campaigning for when you go doorstep for your pedophile Mandelson party. Your favourite team is pro rape.

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist. Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

If your younger than me and can cope with camping you should go

The only trans people mentioned in the epstein files are victims. Hundreds of known anti-trans people are in them, though, either rubbing shoulders with the rape-cult, an active part of the clique, or trying to gain access. Are you getting it yet?

“If the Equality Act really does mean [the transphobic argument following FWS], then the court should rule that that is incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights.” Makes this a much riskier case for FWS because it means their previous ‘win’ can be gutted:

Scottish Labour supports the repeated rape of trans prisoners for any crime whatsoever really Guess I'll be telling them to fuck off on my doorstep again this year

We have real time evidence in Glasgow of how a safe consumption clinic has saved lives and formed an outreach bond of trust with a community shunned to the fringes. The only nay sayers here are facebook bots who spout myths about 'smackheads'. Heroin isn't even the No.1 drug used at the clinic.

This appears to be a correct understanding of the polices at Bannatyne gyms, where they welcome sex offenders as long as they are cis but ban trans women from women's facilities because Duncan finds them icky.

Sure have a strange way of celebrating 🙄

Apparently I've lost about a stone so if anyone finds it on their travels please return it lol

Hannah Spencer has always been an ally to the trans community. She has time after time repeatedly spoken in support of trans rights. In her interview with @edpoole1975.bsky.social, she spoke about a time where a known trans ally was mistakenly labelled transphobic.

I mean do they think we just shouldn't work? Piss in the street? Roll over and die? What's the suggested outcome?

For the first time since being back in Scotland, I can't with any conscience, vote for the SNP at the next election. Greens don't stand in the constituency but the SNP have failed trans people so won't get my vote at all

New windscreen need so that's a costly morning 🧐

I shouldn't really be surprised that I have more principles than the Scottish Government 🙃

The system is rigged in favour of the super-rich. It's time to change the system. Scottish Greens are fighting to put people and planet before corporate profits, to save you money.💚 #VoteScottishGreens

The @scottishgreens.org and @greenparty.org.uk are and will remain autonomous, independent parties. After plenty of hard work though, we are now ready to fully restore our pre-2022 relationship as sister parties. Across these islands Greens are bringing hope back to our politics 💚

New research on trans children and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC): With the UNCRC recently incorporated into Scottish law, @fiercemum.bsky.social and I teamed up to discuss the urgent actions needed to protect trans children's rights. brill.com/view/journal...

Pleased to have played a major part in having ourselves and @lgbtiqagreens.bsky.social at the forefront of this process alongside the Exec's of both parties. Together we are stronger fighting for all LGBT+ people www.thenational.scot/news/2579359...

Delighted we could finally restore ties

Seems I'm getting a free upgrade to full fibre broadband which is definitely useful for someone who doesn't leave the house 🙃

I'm close to retirement...... Again lol
