Every single member of the panel is connected to SEGM. Then there is the Co Lead, Dr Michael Absoud. Who spoke at the 2024 Segm conference /2 www.lemkininstitute.com/single-post/...

Hadn't emailed my MSP in a while so today's that day

All. Of. This

The whole Trial is designed to stop people transitioning under the pretence that being cis is preferable. It breaks my heart for the kids who have to suffer and try to survive what politicians are deliberately doing to them

The trail will involve 220 children. Meanwhile 3000 another children seeking health care for their gender dysphoria will be placed on an ‘observational’ study. The old ‘watch and wait’ is how Alice was treated. Although this time there might be someone actually watching, this is not health care.🧵

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies. This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

How many older journalists and papers look back at their role whipping up hatred against gay people like me in the 80's and 90's with pride and a sense they did right? Very few. So what do *you*, today's journos and papers, think your prospects are after re-running same campaign against trans folk?

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

#TDoR2025 Today and every day, we honour the lives of all our trans siblings worldwide who have been taken from us. Each name represents a person, a community, a story cut short. Their stories endure in our memory and in our ongoing struggle for justice.

The Guardian are reporting a significant increase in Jewish people voting for the Green Party. It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence. We don't oppose the Genocide in spite of being Jewish but because of it. Never again for everyone.

The EHRC’s definition of “woman” in its “interim guidance” is *gender* not “biological sex”. It wants single-sex spaces policed by gender (ie appearance) not biology (chromosomes etc). So it uses *gender* not the “commonsense” definition of “biological sex” the Supreme Court misjudgment mandated.

🧵🇪🇺 In a pivotal step, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the forthcoming EU Gender Equality Strategy 2026–2030, increasing pressure on the European Commission to strengthen protections for trans people within this framework.

I have some questions about this in relation to Scottish Greens reforming links 🤔

Young people don’t get a discount on their rent or food bills. So why are they paid less? 700,000 18-20 year olds could be missing out on an average of £2,400 a year on average because they're not covered by the main minimum wage.

Type 2 diabetes wasn't on my bingo card 😬

'The only way to deliver climate justice is to deliver social and economic justice as well' 🌍 Thousands took to the streets of Glasgow on Saturday to demand our governments put people and planet before profit to tackle the climate emergency. 📺⤵️

How lovely..... Just had a phone call claiming to be from the UK Immigration Office 🤔🙃

🥀Labour are launching another vile attack on fundamental human rights. It is not illegal to seek asylum and refuge here, no matter the circumstances. No human is illegal. We strongly oppose Labour's Trump-style plans.

🧵Some very sensible changes proposed for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿‘s archaic abortion laws. Frightening how many will parrot the far/religious right rather than read for themselves or do any critical thinking at all. aBoRtiOn uP tO biRtH is NOT a thing www.gov.scot/publications...

trans people exist. billionaires shouldn't.

Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.

Did it rain last night lol the Tesco car park looks like a swimming pool 😮

The Xbox breaking on gaming day is not ideal 😬

So I guess the next time they turn up at my door asking if I've seen anything the answer is no, no I didn't *closes door*

📈📈📈 As @scottishgreens.org membership moves towards a record high, it was great to join our North Lanarkshire branch this evening to talk to members new and old. There is a clear demand for policies that make people's everyday lives better. That is what the Greens are offering.

Interesting to be at a Scottish Greens meeting where we discuss the campaigns of @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 😁

Hello, cis person here. Cis woman. I have trans friends who make sweeping statements about cis people like 'fucking cis people' or 'i hate cis people' and you know what I say to that FUCKING NOTHING. NOT A GODDAMNED THING. BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. I've had trans people...

One thing that always surprises me is I am not a practising Christian but from what I see regularly I behave in a more 'Christian' way than many people who actually claim to be Christians

I'm guessing you can now legally become gender critical critical 🙃

I keep seeing these videos by trans guys about how trans women are dominating trans advocacy because of socialisation and honestly it's a discredit to the numerous trans men who are involved daily in pragmatic community rooted activism every day without getting involved in promoting transmisogyny.

Sophie's article is back up with a statement from the ICB. They are lying. They threatened Well BN with closure if they weren't given access to our childs records. Well BN held off for months, trying to stop them.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Comrades don't speak to the rape apologists committee, come on

😬

Scotland as well

Finally had to remove a 'friend' on Xbox after he complained when I congratulated @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in our gaming discord.

Saw my first Christmas decorated house today 😳

I know the relationship btw trans adults and parents of trans youth can be a little fraught. But, for me, there's so much hope found in parents supporting their kids instead of institutionalizing them or abusing them. These families don't have to be perfect to represent a break from the past.

Apparently I made it to 61 years old 😮

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community. Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

I guess that's the Scottish Greens banned from America then 🤣

anti-fascist today. tomorrow. always.

The problem I see with thinking a party can include both trans people and transphobes is that the transphobes will NEVER agree to anything even remotely trans inclusive

I have no regrets in voting against any discussions or collaboration with Your Party (who's party.... Not fucking mine for sure)

The Politics of Fear Here’s a special essay for Halloween exploring how our darkest impulses, our need to make myths and spin stories, and our ancient beliefs have shaped modern politics, identity and extremism My long read in @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/news/2557182...

Did I miss anything lol

I'm kinda disillusioned right now but Zack Polanski is knocking it out the park
