On 13 Feb the High Court ruled that a blanket exclusion of trans people would be unlawful. Despite this, the Gov still haven’t sent back the exclusionary EHRC Code of Practice. Will you join @genderedintelligence.co.uk & email your MP to ask them to reject the EHRC guidance?  gi.eaction.org.uk/EHRC2

Hebden Bridge Town Hall is hosting a free screening of The People's Emergency Briefing, a 45-min film about the dangers UK communities face from climate breakdown, straight from the mouths of the experts. RSVP below and come along Thursday, 16 April!

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

An international women’s day message from my friend and partner in activism Sandi Toksvig #iwd #internationalwomensday

Starmer's "If you don't like it, you can leave" will go down as one of the greatest political speeches in the Green Party's history

Wtf

Let’s spare a thought for Chris Mason, who worked very, very hard over past 2 weeks, to build pressure for Starmer to resign.. all in vain❗️ He’s paid £270,000 a yr for it Fun fact- BBC is strictly required by its Royal Charter, Agreement, & internal editorial guidelines to provide impartial news 🤷🏼‍♂️

I just signed a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social petition: Transparent Action . Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/tr...

Also, yah boo sucks to Sex Matters and their mysterious bottomless pockets of their anonymous backers. You're weird! Nobody likes you! Go away and find a hobby that isn't picking on a marginalised community, and get some therapy while you're there. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

I've just used Good Law Project's tool to email MPs on the Council of Europe and let them know they don’t have to bend down to Sex Matter’s transphobic threats. The more they hear from us, the harder it’ll be for them to ignore us. goodlaw.social/9f10d1

Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham tells Faisal Islam that Reform are “anti-North” over its plan to scrap the £45bn northern corridor rail link & “breathtakingly arrogant” to tell investors to shun the North of England. “Look at them… There’s nothing northern about them,” he said

Following @jamesdaustin.bsky.social lead, here’s my starter pack of women journalists to follow. Apologies to any women I’ve inadvertently missed off. It’s not a slight. I’m just one woman, working in a specific area & region! go.bsky.app/RaopwNN

Our street built of stone setts is very picturesque/olde worlde. Until there's black ice when it becomes lethal. Just placed an order for food delivery from local shop 🤞🙏 The abandon with which I used to glide along ice slides in the playground has vanished at 74! #hebdenbridge #blackice #stayingin

An event in Hebden Bridge celebrating 25 years of the CRoW Act spurs on the movement for further land access rights in England and Wales By Andrew Bibby yorkshirebylines.co.uk/region/right...

Autism is not a mental health condition in and of itself and ironically if we didn't have to fight to survive in a predominantly neurotypical world, most of us would not suffer with poor mental health at all!

Boris Johnson didn't apologise to Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, even when she told him in person the lasting impact his comments about her had on her detention in Iran, her husband tells the BBC

I wrote to M&S about the stupid lingerie department story - confirms nobody offered a bra fitting to a teenage girl. The Telegraph and JK can (always) do one.

Did you know trans+ people in the UK are facing a bathroom ban, without a vote in Parliament? Learn how you can help stop it... 🧵

Placing England’s “largest windfarm” on a critically protected Site of Special Scientific Interest would be one of the most mindnumbingly stupid things the Government could do. West Yorkshire has tonnes of wind farms already. Other counties need to step up. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

More support very much welcome. We have, so far, 36k+ signatures to our letter from women saying ‘Not in our name’ - in response to the horrific demonisation of trans people under the guise of “protecting women”. Help us get to 100k by signing and/or sharing… 🩷 www.change.org/p/not-in-our...

✍️ Should trans people have fewer rights? ‘Not in our name’, say over 35,000 women Women tired of being told that their rights are threatened by trans people are using a petition to stand up for inclusive feminism By Jennie Kermode @jenniekermode.bsky.social

It's just absolutely insane watching all the "Gender Critical" people in government repeating the word "clarity" at each other without any of them being able to explain literally anything about how their hateful policies will work

If your MP is concerned by what BPAS think should happen to abortion law, tag them so they can see their campaign about why we need the Northern Ireland human rights framework extended to England & Wales. Then ask them to co sign NC20 to make this happen. bpas-campaigns.org/campaigns/ti...

Well, you know the saying - you campaign in poetry, but you govern in prose. In Reform’s case, the poetry is William McGonagall.

To mark the 1st day of my 4th year without Alice I have an announcement: I’ve joined up with a determined group of women working to change the narrative around trans people. Women standing in solidarity with our trans siblings. Our first step is to ask cis women to read and sign our open letter ⬇️

The Boss is wise.

Along with a man and a woman who are trans, and someone who is intersex, we are suing the EHRC and the Equalities Minister in respect of the disgraceful and unlawful EHRC guidance. In line with our transparency principles we are publishing the full 32 page legal letter. goodlaw.social/2ihj

Reform are preposterously beatable. This flag policy should be called what it is - a Ukraine flag ban - and be an intense focus of attack from other parties www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This has sinister echoes of section 28. Very abhorrent indeed to expose trans children to this hostility. I feel sick. Britain is sick

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

Trans people in the UK are (finally) getting organized! This letter, started by a single passionate ally, has garnered nearly 1000 signatures in just a few days. Now, two trans rights orgs are throwing their weight behind it, demanding MPs act Sign it. Share it. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

A statement from the Board of Trustees of the Vagina Museum regarding trans inclusion.

AFAICS there is **nothing** in yesterday's UK SC ruling that licenses or justifies this change of policy by the British Transport Police. (Though clearly the ruling is creating a space for all kinds of horrible behaviour, bullying, and poltical opportunism.)

One is made a national story every single week and the other is shhhhh.....

We're in London today with a big old bus to tell our Govt this country cannot afford cuts. Instead they should tax us, the super rich. A 2% wealth tax alone could raise up to £460mln a week. @Keir_starmer - invest in a fairer economy. Patriotic Millionaires say Tax Our Wealth

This country is awash with money. The very rich are rich beyond imagination. So when Starmer wants to stay within his arbitrary fiscal rules, who does he decide to take money from? The very rich? No, from people with disabilities who depend on benefits for the bare minimum of a decent life.

Fuck yeah!!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
