Disabled people in the UK (and worldwide)should be as vocal as possible that we roll, lean, lie, and stand with trans folks because: 1. It's the right thing to do. 2. We know what it's like to have society deliberately misinterpret and misuse legislative frameworks to exclude and silence us.

Stop PIP Cuts: Protect Support for Disabled People We call on the UK govt to reverse the changes to PIP. These cuts unfairly target disabled people who rely on PIP for essential support. We would like fair and compassionate welfare policies that protect the most vulnerable in society.

MPs are floating a “transition period” to soften the blow of PIP cuts—so claimants can move onto “other benefits.” That’s fantasy. PIP is to be the gateway. Lose it, and you lose access to nearly all other benefits. That’s the cliff’s edge.

Deep breath, lads. In response to the proposed government disability cuts, I wrote a piece about my life before The Daily Tism (it includes a PIP assessment, a mental health crisis and iced Madeira cake). We’ll fight this with everything we’ve got.

I’m an autistic writer who is finally working. Without PIP, I wouldn’t have had a chance
How do you explain a PIP assessment to somebody who’s never had one?

If you are (inexplicably) reluctant to donate to individuals living under genocide in Gaza, you could donate to The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which is currently trying to run the Israeli blockade to bring aid to the region.

I’d ask my many cis-gender friends and followers to take a moment today to consider this scenario. You are so unhappy / uncomfortable with your birth sex that you choose to live as the opposite sex at the cost of family and other relationships.

The truth is trans people are not a threat to your life or rights. You are a threat to theirs. And you are following through on those threats on a daily basis in the company of right wing newspapers, homophobes, misogynists and racists. Look at the company you’re keeping. You’re on the wrong side.

Maybe if TERFs are so concerned with who’s in the toilet, they should stay home in their own bathroom. “That may seem unfair, but these are life choices TERFs make. If you make extreme efforts to be a bigoted TERF, don’t be surprised when most of society shuns you.”

Fiona's speech on the experience of applying for disability benefits is really good and I urge people who are unfamiliar with the subject to listen to it. With all the things I've been through in life, I'm not easy to traumatise, but I strongly relate to what she says here.

This is Labour’s poll tax. Its tuition fees. It is - as Iraq was for Blair - the moral stain that will mark Starmer’s government and the party for years to come. Severely disabled people are going to be starved, isolated and degraded. No Labour MP who backs this will be forgiven.
