Arson is burning a building, sure, but burning a building you know full well is packed full of LGBTs? That's attempted mass murder, and likely an intentional hate crime. The fact that nobody is calling it that in the media is worrisome. 2/2

The Gender Critical activists have really shown their hand with this one. They are being backed by the ADF – an anti-women's rights group – to go after a fun run. Make sure your MP knows what's going on 👇

Now 103,000. Let’s get to 104,000. If you are a cis woman who is disgusted by the demonisation of trans people in the press, on TV, and by the likes of JK Rowling, who all claim to be doing this in YOUR name, show them that THEY DO NOT and please sign👇 Notinourname.org.uk Then repost and pass on

Going after Parkrun – a non-competitive event which has no changing rooms – perfectly illustrates that it's never been about fairness in sport, women's safety or anything else. It's about bullying and demonising trans people, hounding them out of public life in every space possible. It's disgusting.

Stop Palantir Please sign you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Resistance towards the fascism of transphobes is our right Dont let anybody, quislings least of all, convince us otherwise .

"WHERE ARE THE TRANS PROTEST ALBUMS?!" the gendered masses howl into a night turgid and ripe with a swelling anger at their own enforced conformity. And the queer musicians answer quietly, "HERE, you silly bitch."

Would you like to have to present your ID every time you want to go to the gym, or the swimming pool, or try on clothes at M&S? That's what Sex Matters are suggesting for *everyone*, in our new gender-policed world.

I have put together a small email template for anyone who wants to remind Stonewall that trans people have always been in the fight for the rights of LGBTQ+ people, and always will. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Putting pressure on Bridget Phillipson to ensure the EHRC's new Code is inclusive: a short 🧵 I've already used @goodlawproject.org's online tool to email my MP (you could too... it all helps and it only takes a minute 🙂). I'm also going to meet my MP at her next surgery in about 10 days. 1/

It's at £66k! Woohoo! 17 days until Reform and Labour get an absolute drubbing by the people they think don't matter. 💚 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/we-deserve...

Has anybody considered telling Starmer what “leader” means? Is he unaware that Labour supposedly had a plan? It was called the “manifesto”. Is the claim here that they’ve failed to do anything in their manifesto because Starmer doesn’t realise they’re supposed to?

i do not want the performance of public apology from ppl/institutions who have been transphobic these past few years now seeing shifting winds. you don't have to say sorry. if you mean it donate to trans charities & vocally advocate against anti-trans bills, public restrictions on trans women, etc.

Only 477 signatures to go now 🩵🩶💛💗 More women are signing every minute 🙏 notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Is “Renew Britain” another Reform UK offshoot?

I get the impression that they’ve taken to calling everything they don’t like “woke” because it’s easier to spell than “communist”

Scottish Labour manifesto is out, don’t vote for them

Streeting will probably not want to do this but if he does he will want to do it in a way that doesn’t make it look like he is doing it because of pressure from @zackpolanski.bsky.social. I suspect that is his main concern RN.

My article in NW Bylines about the Starmer government’s deployment of the misleading term “gender questioning” for trans kids. Trans kids need help resisting this loaded term. IMO it is being used to open the door to what I characterize as a government policy of “wraparound conversion therapy”

Anyone fancy doing this. The more the better and you'll be in good company with these groovy fuckers who have already been kind enough to send in theirs.

Every time I see Thatcher these days I think how much worse Labour are for queer people and that, and that alone, should end them.

Yes, this action could be the first to directly test the Supreme Court’s decision. In other cases, we argue it doesn’t give rise to a mandatory exclusion rule. However, her case concerns inclusion. And it is clear the statutory language is incompatible with Convention rights and civil liberties.

I’m somewhat bemused to hear a Jewish man telling the BBC (during an interview about Wireless Festival being headlined by a nazi) that if “an artist made appalling statements about… LGBTQ people” they wouldn’t be defended or given a platform. It’s a nice dream.

I would like to wish a happy International Asexuality Day to all those who don’t partake. (Can I say that?)

Happy Easter to those who celebrate. Have fun cracking those eggs!

Section 28 did immense harm to a generation of LGBTQ+ people. It allowed homophobia to flourish and left us to grow up with shame, scared and alone. It’s a big part of the reason why I didn’t transition until I was 38.

What exactly are the peacekeepers up to while an invading army passes through?

Awww. Blåhaj loves their raccoon.

Yesterday was unusually Friday as Thursdays go, and today has been upsettingly Saturday. I don’t have the best grasp of what day it is most of the time anyway, and this isn’t helping.

"At this moment we do nothing, and by doing nothing we do everything..." Words I could see myself borrowing for a #GoodFriday sermon at some point! #DoctorWho

If Stephen Marche can’t be bothered to write “his” novel, I can’t be bothered to read his article about it. I mean, did he actually write that? Has he even read it?

Every time I see someone suggest people should just "coexist" & "Have their opinions" I want to punch them because WE DID THAT Queer people did leave conservatives alone, we did try to live by the mantra of live & let live. It gave us genocide because facists do not want to coexist but eradicate

Autism isn’t the crisis. The way autistic people are ignored until they break is.

A simply request while it still Trans Day of Visibility: don't watch this show. Easy peasy, right? 😉

And I say, once again, 'Fuck Labour' which promised to fix this and has done exactly the opposite.

I love this. I wish all cis women saw it this way. We love womanhood so much we gave up almost everything for it

Since it’s Bring A Shark To Work Day (did I get that right?) here’s me being visible. Except that everyone’s facing in the other direction because my desk’s at the back. But they could see me if they turned around! Just after I took this photo, everything broke (unrelated) and I was busy for a while

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN 🏳️‍⚧️ #art #tdov #transart

Well parsing this post was an adventure

The colour of the UK on this map should be a national embarrassment, and the politicians that enabled this should be held accountable. Trans rights are far from a guarantee here, and we need to stop politicians chipping away at our rights.
