If I was PM I'd immediately fix the Equality Act by: - Massively weakening what is covered by "belief" under religion and belief - Enshrine that any views and beliefs that discriminate against any of the protected characteristics cannot be seen as "worthy of respect" by default

The PATHWAYS puberty blocker trial already failed trans kids by subjecting them to levels of scrutiny, coercion, and pathologisation akin to conversion practices. The new additional age restrictions - banning access for kids starting puberty - are just the latest abusive control tactic…

The size of the scandal of what's being done to trans people in the UK is too big to even appreciate in one sitting and so many people just aren't even aware.

It matters, having trans people on staff. Both because this means there are trans people in the meetings. Also because I can assure you, as a freelancer, freelancers tend to be treated like total crap, by most outlets. Getting any piece across the finish line, in my view, is basically a miracle.

My two cents: Cis editors should be assigning trans reporters to write about trans folks right now.

if the democrats really had any juice whatsoever they would let cardi B deliver the state of the union rebuttal

Dear Lucy Powell, A response to your letter:

a trans woman i know is being deported back to the USA due to the Home Office messing up paperwork. her wife is desperately trying to raise the funds to prevent this. they have 48 hours before she’s put on a plane and might never be able to return. please, help if you can. they’re both terrified.

Me @imamammie.bsky.social have hired a safe place and are organising a little craft party for trans folks in NI to do squares for the @goodlawproject.org Trans Unity quilt. Sunday 22 March, 12-4 BYO. If you're interested, reply to this and I'll DM you location details. Ormeau area Belfast.

Anti-trans ideology has: - decemitated the Women’s Institute - made it less safe for women to access female single-sex spaces - made it much harder to be a gender non-conforming woman - Reduced women to their anatomy - increased female objectification - reinforced sexist stereotypes

If Hodge is appointed Ofcom chair, I hope people go back to the story of how she absolutely tried to suppress media coverage of her disgusting mishandling of a paedophile scandal. www.theguardian.com/society/2003...

why are you posting this? it is an interaction that makes you look absolutely appalling

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

They say the left hates tech, but I am literally unable to stop thinking about this...

"A propensity for gossip is a feature of every workplace," the ruling says. "So far as concerns gossip at work, no employee can expect not to be the subject of gossip about something on some occasion" Fucking hell. That's what they think being forcibly outed at work means. Gossip.

They're fully aware they only won the last election by being "Not Tories" (in name only). They know if Greens win they don't stand a chance of unsettling them with that card so they need the fascists to win so they can be "Not Reform" (again, in name only)

Yep. Labour's main aim in the Gorton and Denton byelection is to lose to the fascists rather than lose to the Green Party. Their entire strategy is based around helping Reform to win by attempting to split the anti-Reform vote.

Trump: "I want to let you know that United States is going to make a contribution of $10 billion to the Board of Peace." (Congress has not appropriated this money!)

"tapering plans" for HRT is a death sentence if you've had gender-affirming surgeries, like I have with my orchi, because your body will just wither away and die without hormones. Unspeakable evil. Demonic shit. You don't hate these motherfuckers enough.

Lady in white, "Andrew Windsor was followed around by protection officers at all times" #BBCQT "The royal family would have known what he was up to many years ago" "The royal family aren't blameless in what Andrew has been doing over the Epstein scandal"

Eric Dane died 🥺

Our situation is still really rough and aside from going into a panic, which I won't do, idk how much more I can state it's been a really terrible period for my mom and I right now. Again, I deeply apologize.

Like father like son

Many of my students only knew Henry Ford for his cars, and did not know until I taught them how influential he was in circulating the Protocols, which makes me wonder if students a century from now will look at Elon Musk as nothing more than an eccentric car and rocket builder.

I received notification of yet another death at an ICE facility, meaning 38 people have died in custody since Trump returned to office. ICE is failing to ensure the health and safety of the people it is responsible for. We need immediate oversight of this entire operation.

Andrew is said to have known he was in trouble because he saw Liz Truss standing outside his castle walls last night, wailing like a banshee.

Whole lot of people getting arrested from files that were "finished with investigation."

no. the king isn't fine with his brother being arrested. he's sacrificing his brother in an effort to protect the crown. it's entirely self-serving. just want to point that out bcos im see'ing a couple 'gotta hand it to charles' posts and no, no, you do not have to hand it to him.

It brings me an incredible sense of peace to imagine the fear and feeling of walls closing in for men who abused women and girls with elite impunity

Please come see me on "The Lost Daughter of Sparta" book tour! Can't wait to get this long-gestated work out into the world :) So proud of it. Check my website for ticket links. <3

Following the pattern; some of the kids involved will not be able to cope and need to drop out of school. A parent - most likely mother - will need to leave the workforce to home school them. The child is less likely to earn qualifications, reducing employment opportunities.

The Labour government is going to absolutely gut SEND provision, especially when it comes to neurodivergent kids. From The Times exposé last night

Abolishing the Equality Act would completely undo Forstaters work to make Gender Critical opinions a protected characteristic. Perfectly demonstrating that abolishing it would fuck everyone, not just minorities.

One fond memory for me is the time my mum's friend brought her sons round and they thought they could beat a bunch of girls at Crash Team Racing and we roundly kicked their asses.

Just saw an ad that started out "your kids won't remember their best day of screen time" and while I of course broadly agree with the sentiment that you should do activities with your children, don't tell me i don't remember beating zelda a link to the past

This is becoming life or death at this point. I need wheelchair accessible housing in the DC area or I will be discharged, and kicked out onto the street where I could die. If anyone can offer housing or donate please do so I am genuinely terrified givebutter.com/iG0zWz

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "The real wealth creators in this country are cleaners, teachers, nurses, the people who keep our economy moving.. austerity is a really bad move & ultimately what this country needs is investment" 🎯

Reminder that she worked closely with Elon Musk.

In the least surprising news, the average American household will pay an extra $1,300 in 2026 due to Trump’s tariffs, up from $1,000 in 2025. It's almost as if tariffs are a tax. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

a pal was browsing house listings and look at this one place they stumbled across. oh my

I have tabled a motion in parliament, calling on Buckingham Palace to publish all communication which references the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Statements of support for victims of Epstein’s abuse are insufficient if crucial information is still covered up.

This is actually disgusting. She should've seen Brianna's coming out as a second birth rather than a first death.

Michael Tracey has been publicly smearing and attacking Epstein victims Tara Palmeri asks him: “Are you being paid by someone powerful to attack sex-crime victims?” He then fakes audio issues and claims he can’t hear her question

I just voted in the Texas Primaries! Early voting extends through the 27th I walked in, got my ballot, and voted straight away

Yea. There’s no way people could organically hate on an economic and political system that promotes collaboration with fascists and continuously undermines democracy.
