pinned post!
We need to support trans people in the workplace to help prevent their exclusion from the every day conversations that affect them. I am happy to speak to anyone to share advice on applying to jobs, interviews, career development in any way I can.

So glad the transphobes have a party now, they've been politically homeless for so long. Maybe they'll fuck off out the greens for good now.

Reform don't even want national ID cards. It's not a policy they've said their interested in and considering the number of Reform members who are convinced Starmer will lock them up for tweets it's unlikely they're going to be a fan. Interesting that Labour only chase certain reform policies.

I've left unison, looking for a good union to replace it. The biggest threat to my job currently is transphobes saying I need to treat trans people as the opposite gender. Ridiculous for a trade union to support a candidate who will cause so much harm to workers.

Considering Unison was already in bad graces as they sent what was essentially an ad for Microsoft copilot to members, endorsing Phillipson might be the last straw. Can anyone recommend a union for enabling NHS staff that supports the LGBTQ community?

Like most aspects of moral panics about diagnoses increasing I really do think the growth in autism diagnosis - aside from the spread of knowledge - is the result of a wider culture being more strict and hostile towards variation from certain "abled" norms.

I understand being disconcerted about Your Party, it's impressive the level of fuck ups they've had but make sure you're not giving them more power than they actually have. Parties don't power political movements, political movements power parties.

Now that we've all very quickly decided that it is beyond moral comprehension to laugh at the deaths of others, shall we revisit Sandie Peggie's comments laughing at those who died in floods in Pakistan?

If reports of the EHRC guidance are correct, it is not compatible with trans people's human rights. It would usher in a system of segregation, policed via threats of legal action by those with money to burn. Trans people, as well as people who are not trans, face harassment.

In 2016 UK issues travel warning to the US for LGBTQ+ travelers due to bathroom bans being introduced. Of course, we all know that the UK has had a bathroom ban in place since 2010, so quite strange that they felt the need to issue the warning...

And a happy "Tossing out the TERFS" day to you as well! While It's a shame to see Mothin Ali show support for MPs advocating for segregation after voting closes, it's notable that pretty much all candidates who had outright transphobic positions lost.

Well, Your Party have lost me as a member. I was happy to put the work in and go through the "proper channels" or proposing pro-trans policies. I'm cis so it's going to be easier for me to do it than leaving it to trans people. But how disrespectful can you get?

These consultations have not taken on board any trans positive feedback related to trans children's healthcare in the past decade. There have been many of them. Don't waste your time lovely people. Repeatedly hitting ourselves in the face with consultations is an act of self-abuse at this point.

Unfortunately, because of all the property damage we had to take away trans rights. We took away the rights before the property damage and it didn't stop property damage from happening, but I think we can all agree it was the right thing to do.
