"Women's health clinics offering breast screenings would be unable to provide this service to trans women. This is despite the fact that trans women who have had more than five years of Gender-Affirming Hormons Therapy (GHAT) are forty-seven times more likely to develop breast cancer than men"

“Exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division would be wrong in any circumstances but to do it when the family are expressly saying please don’t is unforgivable. It shows exactly who he is” Keir Starmer responds to Nigel Farage at #PMQs

Trans people need your help - what can you do? It’s been a pretty tough year for trans people with their rights being written down by the nonsensical ‘For Women Scotland’ Supreme Court judgment, … translucent.org.uk/petition-on-...

This is incredibly powerful from @fruitypy.bsky.social, calling on the government to legislate to protect trans people’s rights, privacy and inclusion:

Marks and Spencers (and other places, quite frankly) should think seriously about protecting their staff from insane harassment and doxing by prohibiting the videoing of staff in their stores, which are private businesses not public spaces.

JK Rowling mentioned four times as often as actual trans people in media coverage of 'trans issues', research finds… “Anyone who cares about equality and human rights must consider this an alarm bell and make clear that this kind of bias has no place in our society,"

We're complaining to the Charity Commission about Sex Matters describing women who are trans using women's spaces as "deviants". The language is unacceptable (and the statement is wrong in law). We're looking for other examples of it (staff or Trustees) using inflammatory language. Share below?

Nothing to see here, just the son of the President marrying the daughter of the accountant of a notorious child sex trafficker who was best friends with the groom's father. Oh, wait, you didn't know Junior's current new wife is the daughter of Jeffrey Epstein's accountant?

The healthcare system for Trans+ people is in crisis. But it isn’t broken - it’s working exactly as it was designed to. Ahem: for cis people. How we got here, for #IDAHOBIT

🔴 Keir Starmer promised to crackdown on "Slapps" - abusive libel cases to silence journalists and critics Then Labour quietly dropped it We can reveal why: a three-year lobbying blitz by libel lawyers who've acted for Russian oligarchs, Epstein + more democracyforsale.substack.com/p/how-lawyer...

This is an extraordinary essay which really ought to have been published in a mainstream outlet. But please, share the hell out of it.

In the same month Nigel Farage bought a £1.4mn house in cash - weeks after he got a £5mn gift from Christopher Harborne for his "security" (h/t @alifortescuenews.bsky.social ), Farage put in an app to rebuild his house in New Romney into a modern three-storey home with a basement conversion

A toxic combination of low wages and high bills is crushing this country. Today is Starmer's last chance to set out a plan that will end Rip-Off Britain: rent controls, nationalising water, freezing energy prices, and taxing wealth. No more half measures.

Please retweet.

The new commissioners for the EHRC. Seems like it will continue to never have had a trans commissioner, despite spending a disproportionate amount of time working very hard to take away our equality and human rights.

EHRC remains a home for transphobia:

NEW: Scotland's first transgender MSP has issued a statement after receiving abuse and backlash, thanking all who have congratulated them 🗳️

If Streeting is the answer, Labour hasn't understood the question.

BREAKING: Labour activists have been caught breaking electoral rules at multiple Scottish polling stations by putting party campaign material at voting booths

This is insane. This is the government’s “independent” advisor on antisemitism. He sees four antisemitic cartoons targeting Zack Polanski. His response? To demand an end to the antisemitic targeting of Polanski? No. It’s to attack the Green Party.

Politicians and media attacking @zackpolanski.bsky.social over antisemitism lack any decency. So says Rabbi Herschel Gluck - who was given an OBE for advancing interfaith understanding.

It was wrong when the media did this to Ed Miliband when he was leader and it is wrong to do this to Polanski. Genuinely have no idea how awfulness like this gets past editors… It’s really not that hard to criticise policies or politicians without being antisemitic.

"You have a right to march but members of the Jewish community have the right to live their lives.." People are marching in support of the Palestinian people & against Israels genocide & our govts complicity in it. Why is Steve Reed pitching them against British Jews?

In 1982 Margaret Thatcher cutoff weapons to Israel because they invaded Lebanon. Today Israel are invading Lebanon and instead of banning weapons to Israel they are trying to ban Palestine marches.
