It seems worth mentioning that Beira’s Place is not actually a rape crisis centre, but a support service, and the rape crisis centre that has actually been attacked in recent years is Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, following a harassment campaign led by JK Rowling.

Oxford’s Green councillors say the city should stand firm against “a manufactured moral panic which seeks to demonise the existence of trans and nonbinary people”. They are calling on the City Council to support their rights in the face of “overly simplistic approaches to sex, gender and sexuality”.

Ah, so it's that @katymontgomerie.com comic again

Remember, the Mail care about women's sport, and that's why they've given just 40 words to one of the best players in the world making a move to a club that's won nothing

Uhhhh Yeah, cis person here, TRANS PEOPLE ARE NOT WORRYING TOO MUCH. This psychopathic regime is absolutely trying to genocide them. We gotta stop them and we can't just leave transgender folks to deal with this on their own.

people *really* don't want to hear this but trans people, especially trans women, have been sounding every single klaxon and alarm for years with hard data and evidence but the reason the anti-trans movement is prevailing is because cis/het left/liberals don't listen to us at all

What winds me up here is this is not the 'Hogwarts Express'. It's the Jacobite, a steam hauled train on a beautiful railway built long before JKR was even born. This is an amazing display of railway engineering that has very little to do with HP aside from a couple of shots from some films

This is exactly why we have Pride. Because a few years ago this would have just been a hateful fringe figure - but this is where our politics is heading with a Government that kertows. We will resist. And bring hope (*and* electing progressive politicians.) We will win. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The term "biological sex" was adopted widely only in the last decade as a reaction to mainstream acceptance of trans people. It was rarely if ever used before that. By any metric, from legislative usage to search query usage, it's plainly evident this is a novel term only made popular by the right.

I know some people get annoyed when I talk about why I'm a Republican... But I'm sorry...not sorry.

If you can get people to agree trans women have no place in women's sport you are getting them to concede they are not really women and everything else flows from that. They have said this themselves as they campaigned for the ban.

I hope today is a stark reminder why "I will follow the law" was an absolutely horrible way to respond to a question about trans rights.

Trans athletes must compete. Get over it. Oxford pride 2026

Bloody hell… A report which is accurate, states Cass is internationally discredited and calls a trans-woman a trans woman. Mind blown… www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/mp-accu...

Britain is more than halfway towards reaching Net Zero. Most people don't realise this, not least as the fossil-fuel fanatics want us to think achieving it is impossible. Via YouGov

Imagine if the government said “it’s illegal to carry knives in public unless you’re doing it for the explicit purpose of stabbing someone” Conversion therapy is not healthcare, it is abuse.

LOADS OF PEOPLE DIED IN YOUR PRECIOUS SUMMER OF 1976 YOU DIDN'T JUST "get on with it" AT ALL, YOU NEVER STFU ABOUT IT FOR STARTERS.

Too hot to move. So hot feel faintly sick. It's only going to get worse tomorrow. Fuck climate change. Fuck the oil companies.

Since the TSA mass lobby is cancelled due to extreme heat, I ask everyone to get friends and family to sign this. No, I’m not asking you to sign. I’m asking you to ask others to sign. Individually. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/77...

Forced detransition is genocidal. Let’s be clear about this. If you strip a group of people of the medical care they need and force them to abandon their cultural and personal identities, it’s elimination.

Trans women are women, because society is hellbent on blaming us for things that aren't our fault. And that's one of the most feminine experiences you could have.

Can confirm that no trouble is expected this evening in Belfast after Jeffrey Donaldson was found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting two children.

Trans Apartheid. Continuation of puberty blocker ban for under 18s. Active removal of trans healthcare for trans youth. KSCIE and EHRC guidance. This, too, is Starmer's legacy. We really hope to see you bring this up more, @zackpolanski.bsky.social!

Starmer saying the next PM will inherit a country that is 'fairer' than the one he inherited 2 years ago. In the one Starmer inherited, trans people could use public toilets.

As an athlete with boobs, it really pisses me off how women in sport are sexualised. The sports bra was meant to liberate us, yet it seems that athletic women are degraded when our male counterparts are celebrated

For many LGBT folk like me, and especially trans folk, Keir Starmer will be remembered in the same way as Margaret Thatcher: with deep contempt for having overseen a deeply hostile, queerphobic government, which rolled back human rights and set society back by at least a decade. Good riddance.

My neighbor told me a cat keeps eating his british prime minister so I asked how many PMs he has and he said he just goes to the commons and gets a new PM afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding PMs to a cat and then his daughter started crying.

Andy Burnham is not only a self-proclaimed transphobe who supports segregation, but he is reportedly also determined to retain Shabana Mahmood, the most transphobic minister in his cabinet.

The UK media class is either pro-zionist or incredibly transphobic. Or both. Weird to be incredibly obsessed with genitals like this, not normal

The parents said coverage of the story has failed to reflect the reality facing affected families because "it has not centred the voices of trans young people"

The subtext of this comment by Murphy isn't really that trans women deserve abuse in prison for breaking the law, because cis women who break the law are deemed worthy of protection, no matter their crime. The subtext is trans women deserve rape, abuse, even death as a punishment for being trans.

Meet Geraldine Coggins. Greater Manchester councillor, Green group leader, straight talking anti-austerity campaigner - and your Green candidate for Greater Manchester Mayor.

Starting to look like world sailing is going to start reviewing its policy on intersex sailors. There is a real fear that they may ban intersex sailors from competing in the women's category. media.sailing.org/sailing/wp-c... When I find a way we can input into this review. I will post it.

If there’s anything you’ve seen or written about the way Esther is trying to erase transphobia from the narrative (or her own transphobia) and think is relevant to a video essay about it, feel free to link below. I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I’ve decided to proceed with it.

The social media ban will not work. Walked passed some kids yesterday who seemed to already be sharing ideas for how to to circumvent it. My concern is this will make existing problems worse. You can't combat systemic issues by cutting off spaces

The Lady Chief Justice said proscription of Palestine Action “struck a fair balance” and that PA is not a peaceful civil disobedience group like the Suffragettes. Excuse Me- WHAT ABOUT THE BOMBINGS, 24 injured, 4 dead BOMBINGS. How is PA worse than BOMBINGS www.thenational.scot/news/2619407...

Meant to post this earlier. Had a fantastic time at Oxford Pride a weekend or two ago. And I was really happy to have helped @bexsailingmermaid.bsky.social put together this lovely sign saying a message that we need to keep repeating. Thank you to @nightkristina.bsky.social for taking this photo.

Helen Lewis’ new article bemoans how the far-right is pushing for a Gilead-type existence. Yet she totally ignores how she (& other ‘gender critical’ transphobes) ACTIVELY collaborated with them in their joint “wedge issue” to attack trans rights! Spot her name on the anti-trans coalition website)

I keep seeing posts from well meaning trans people defending us from attacks saying we don't change sex and they sex and gender are different. Please don't give them ground. Yes sex and gender are different. Yes you do not need to medically transition to be trans But don't fall for their framing

The day judges can sentence you for crimes you have neither been tried nor convicted of you no longer have a functioning country.

A new study of 445 adolescents treated at pediatric gender clinics in Canada found that after a mean 2.4 years, 94.6% still identified as trns. Of the 353 who started hormonal treatments, 1.1% discontinued them. www.jahonline.org/article/S105...

Bumping this up. I need the money to get to the World Championships. Let's stick it to the terfs. Trans women in sport are here to stay. Any donation makes a difference and getting a trans woman to compete at a Worlds may be the spark we need to create seismic change.
