GB News cameraman took swings at us (clocked me right in the back one time). Best option: blast music, use anything at hand to cover camera lens (umbrellas, flags), no comment, redirect them away from the demo, do not let up until they leave

Can it really be true that: a) the Women's Institute has had trans members since the 1970s, b) the UK passed a law in 2010 requiring them to be expelled, c) nobody noticed this until 2026? it seems that we may have to consider the appalling vista that some lawyers are very bad at their job

We badly need to orient away from forms of self-proclaimed antiracism that effectively amount to uncritically declaring yourself in support of one minority group and in hostility to another.

Peck’s presenting this as sleight of hand, a creative technicality that you can imagine Oxbridge twats thinking is very clever, but then you get to “a spin doctor will be quoted as a cabinet minister” which is just straight-up fraud

I’m selling my stuff at a jumble sale and I am sitting right by the fan, one of the few people who is coping today (for now)

I remember Ian Dunt comparing Helen Lewis being patched out of Watch Dogs Legion's radio show for being a transphobic freak to book burning, and now he's appalled by the EHRC code. Damn pal, maybe if you'd stood up to the radicalisation of your powerful profession this could have been prevented

Seeing lots of centrist voices outraged about the EHRC code of practice, which is hopefully a galvanising moment for them to challenge transphobia in policy and in conversation with others, but I am wondering where exactly they were on the journey to this moment

If you don’t remember the Yoon vs Cybernats wars and how cracked she was even then…

This statement is absolutely repulsive and Greens for Palestine are defending inexcusable conspiracist antisemitism. While they aren’t formally affiliated to the Greens it’s appalling that our deputy leader Mothin Ali is associated with them.

Telling my friends about the Rector of Stiffkey, the Church of England priest who got fired, exhibited himself in a barrel on Blackpool seafront in order to raise funds for his legal fight to get his job back. Never did raise enough money, and was then eaten by a lion in Skegness in 1937.

"the go the fuck to sleep baby is a they / them going to Bard, feel old yet???"

We have had a lurching politics of over-correction in both directions: government ministers are talking/thinking about how to reduce immigration further from net 170k when it is already heading towards zero and below in 2026-27

This is not a good change? If the bottleneck is patching then we're becoming less secure www.anthropic.com/research/gla...

When I say that @amnestyuk.bsky.social have overlooked the obvious funding of Gender Critical activists by Christian groups and that these groups aren't actually distinct, here's the weekend's round up email from Christian Concern who are open about funding the GC Darlington Nurses tribunal.

The UK Government’s new Code of Practice offers cruelty, not clarity. Despite promises and spin to the contrary, this is a bathroom ban and a huge rollback for human rights in the UK. Read now: transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/05...

If you can do it, that is really great, but it's not the only way to be politically effective. Before there was any chance of getting laws changed, there were centuries, generations and generations of people supporting and sustaining each other, even though the mainstream culture was vile to them.

Just heard someone say “I put a picture into CoPilot and ask it” and I can’t bear to imagine the context

I mean, I have a decent moustache

“We’re going to erase trans people compassionately”

GOOD GOD, PHRASING PEOPLE.

I am both hot (attractive) and hot (experiencing high temperatures) and I do not need the admin of hate

UK Palantir CEO throwing his toys out of the box in a very unbecoming way here. There is no compulsion for any public body to be a Palantir customer, and the fact that he presumes there is seems very telling www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

One for the real heads, this - Ince Post Office is in Makerfield

Women are people as well as women. I’m disgusted by anti-trans activists and they make me feel very unsafe. I spent a great deal of my life in single-sex spaces – eg education from 4-18. I have found them extremely unsafe too. I don’t accept being coopted into POVs that ignore my experience.

Interview with George Michael from 20 years ago (needed it for something I'm working on). As ever, he is deeply correct www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVJP...

‼️ PARLIAMENT SQUARE, 11AM TOMORROW ‼️ ‼️ SATURDAY 22 MAY ‼️ ‼️ TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW. DEMO FOR TRANS LIBERATION. ‼️ BE THERE.

Let my people piss. Let my people move across borders. Let my people live

The final straw for Suella Braverman's sacking was this - something the current Home Secretary would just be able to crack on and do with no worries.

Labour's inability to condemn last years far right riots, and the Home Secretary endorsing the ludicrous flag campaign are probably two of the most shocking moments from a sitting government in my lifetime.

I'm fast becoming a single issue voter and that vote is letting trans people live their lives

I’ve had this guy blocked for ages, but some of you not only follow him but regularly converse with the bastard

In the space of around ten years UK politics and media (all of it) have switched their language to normalise bigotry. They have switched from “Trans Women Are Women” (or just trans women) to “Trans Women - males who identify as women” at every opportunity, even when totally unnecessary for the point

Well, this reading is expressly endorsed by the Supreme Court, otherwise they could not explain why para 28 Sch 3 exists. The same would be direct sex discrimination against a cis, butch woman. The fact that a trans man is not afforded the same protection IMHO is a slam-dunk Article 14 violation.

PayPal is here, I basically have zero executive function rn paypal.me/PhoenixAndre...

I really need @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social to read this section of the EHRC guidance around Belief in the Equality Act, and explain how the anti-trans beliefs she’s used to influence and dictate her bathroom ban are fundamentally any different in terms of being incompatible with human dignity.

Organisations that want to exclude trans men and women from their spaces should follow this simple guidance: get fucked.

Yet there you are, outside.

If a government minister believes the supreme court has substantially changed how the law is interpreted from what was intended by parliament then the last thing that minister should be doing is nodding along with it. We are supposed to have Parliamentary sovereignty.

Channel 4 News are being much more careful and balanced with their language, btw, and better on tradeoffs. Anja Popp has form for being good and fair on these issues. When she says “biological”, she says where it came from, rather than using it vigorously as a neutral and uncontested term

"Let police women's femininity but in a woke way" This is what the far right wants you to do. They want men to punish any woman who refuses to follow western beauty standards. Trans women are under attack and what's your first thought is how could you use it against other women. Get fucked.

Here's my first impressions FAQ on the EHRC document. Questions welcome. sandraduffy.blog/2026/05/21/f...

When all pissing is criminal only piss criminals will piss

This guidance operates at an organisational level, so allies can make a real difference even individually and in small numbers by being vocal, annoying, and making it really inconvenient to be transphobic. Don't let discrimination be the easy option.

Once again I repeat my motto: "Don't comply in advance, but also, don't cry in advance."

Oh my God, they made him do the Blue Labour Pledge of Allegiance and co-sign all their right-wing policies, and then they’re going to send the most hated man in Britain up to campaign in a Reform-leaning seat vacated by a Labour Together twerp so they can slit his throat on his own doorstep lmao

Ffs, the Reform new councillors for Kirklees have arrived for meetings and NONE of them have done any prep or reading on how the proceed works. They're refusing to vote on any business in case they accidentally vote something in 🤦‍♀️ huddersfieldhub.co.uk/chaos-confus...
