Update: Transphobes left about 7pm. Cardiff gig crowds were very hostile to them, and the counter demo was joined by commuters, anti-fascist youth, left skinheads from Bristol, trans Cure & Lilly Allen fans, trade unionists, commuters, and sundry allies. 1/2

Hi-de-Hi! actor Paul Shane (real name George Frederick Speight) was born on this day 1940. Shane's performance of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" on Pebble Mill at One in 1996 was voted the 72nd-funniest moment on British television in an opinion poll on Channel 4 in 2004.

Suprised I haven't seen this on here- couldn't find it with a quick search so I'm uploading it. Activists going into Stonewalls office to hold them to account over recent statements. If any of the creators are on here- i'll take this down and promote your vid. www.instagram.com/reel/DZsXGmp...

There last few weeks shows how deeply principled and decent people can be, even when going through the most terrible pain. Their grace stands in stark contrast to those who would exploit their suffering for political gain.

Andrew George MP is “determined to combat discrimination in all its forms” unless any of the discriminated “adopt unhelpful…offensive name-calling, to toxify the discourse to a point where rational and decent people recoil” What a pompous prick. Everyone play nicely or I’ll let you all suffer.

I have e-mailed my MP ( @tufnellhenry.bsky.social ) to ask him to sign this EDM. The Draft Code of Practice has the effect of excluding trans people from services and facilities they have used their whole lives. Labour should legislate to clarify and protect trans rights.

I see we're playing "you can't experience homophobia unless you're gay" discourse, which is absolute nonsense, as you'll know if you are/were: Bisexual A non-masculine guy A masculine guy A het trans woman A het trans man Asexual Carry a little bag Have a little dog Ever wear pink etc etc etc etc

The new Amazon 007, "A Prompt For a Kill" "True biological male, James Bond, must prevent W.O.K.E, an evil Marxist terror organisation, from assassinating beloved, visionary billionaires, such as Beff Jizzos, who plan to build an AI data centre that will benefit all, or at least some, of mankind"

The Mayor of Hackney @zoegarbett.bsky.social showing up 💕🏳️‍⚧️

The UK Government’s new Code of Practice offers cruelty, not clarity. Despite promises and spin to the contrary, this is a bathroom ban and a huge rollback for human rights in the UK. Read now: transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/05...

You’re not alone. Our trained LGBTQIA+ volunteers are here to listen to any concerns you may have as a result of the revised EHRC guidance being laid before parliament. We’ve supported the community through trials and tribulations for over 50 years, and we’re here for you today.

The King’s speech could have been an email.

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

hi, government expert here. this is not funny, governments only do this when they are in extreme distress.

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

We'll make our own council! With [fairness] and [empathy]! Actually, forget the council!

I started this thread on twitter back in 2017. I add to it occasionally whenever the opportunity offers itself, but want to start it again so I can add to it on here. So… Amazing how grater technology has developed. My current grater (left) and an original 80s grater, the size of a brick!

Same here. For the Senedd elections in Wales, Plaid Cymru are on course to be the largest party. www.partyof.wales/lhdtc

What a great weekend! Watch out, Oban. We will see you in August. Applications to attend will open at the end of May 2026 Thank you to everyone who made this possible 💙

We have written follow-up to the BBC addressing their 'biological sex' framing of trans folk in their reporting, and their continued claim that 'clarity' is needed. We will not stop the pressure; they will be held accountable.

Get excited. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/b...

Hi @stonewalluk.bsky.social now would be the time to ask Kezia Dugdale if she will sign the @nionwomen.bsky.social letter against cis women’s rights being used as a pretext to remove trans people’s human rights, like Hannah Spencer has done. As things stand ATM the absence of it is speaking volumes.

The government was forced to admit the EHRC’s transphobic draft guidance got it wrong, and they’ve had to send it back to the drawing board. But the fight is far from over. They plan to bring an updated version back to parliament in May. So we need to act – fast 👇

We have contacted the Women and Equalities Committee, the Joint Human Rights Committee, and the Minister for Women and Equalities, Bridget Phillipson, to bring to their attention our complaint to the EHRC regarding the conduct of the anti-rights group Sex Matters.

We need you help this petition needs your signature ✍️ let’s show the government we’re still here and we’re not going to lay down and roll over while they and the media attack us 💚 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

This is not just a mic drop, it’s an M&S mic drop.

Just bought my copy. I know - I'm a big advocate of reading on tablets, but sometimes a book is good for both reading and having on a shelf as a reminder. Get yours today too!

Some terrifically titled papers from a discovered collection of NASA research documents found in a skip (with thanks to @juliarez.placid.horse)

One of the shitty things about the racist and anti-lgbtq extremist direction of this administration (and all those like them) is people and corporations quit celebrating, or even supporting, marginalized people to avoid 'trouble.' Fuck trouble. Fuck bigots. Raise your voice.

The UK is taking a giant leap toward clean energy with enough offshore wind to power 12m homes. We were taking legal action to spark this shift so we're happy to see it in action! 💨 www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jan/14/offshore-windfarm-contracts-to-fuel-homes-great-britain-record-auction

I can help you out with that John mate

CORRECTED POST: :) MPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: If you are trans at a convention I am at and someone gives you shit about it, let me know and I will come throw a fucking chair at them. This service is complimentary. Also, I have to start proofreading my posts!

I need your help to reach beyond SM to find the parents quietly supporting their trans offspring, heads down, staying safe and anonymous. I need them to sign the Transparent Action pledge. Growing our numbers will show Streeting supportive parents outnumber the transphobes. Help me find them.

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.

Merry Christmas everyone, especially my #Playschool Babies. Be kind, considerate and compassionate as the festive season continues. Spread joy everywhere you go and remember the best gift you can give is unconditional love ❤️🎄❤️
