It's genuinely frightening how many backwards-thinking people we still have in charge of our lives. This was only 13 years ago. Fucking hell.

Highly recommend #AChristmasCarol 👏👏 Anyone who's seen Reece Dinsdale or a #LeedsPlayhouse production before will know it's gonna be spectacular 🙌 Ticket sales reflect that, but it's on till 17th Jan and will be just as magical after Christmas ✨ + Excellent for anyone studying it for GCSE! Book it 😉

Contact us if you have been affected by the policy changes of Girl Guiding or the Women's Institute. This could be as an individual, or because you lead a local Brownie group who don't want this policy change. We want to help protect trans inclusion. goodlawproject.org/about/contact/

There's not much left of the rule of law if organisations can be financially bullied into not asserting their legal rights. goodlaw.social/sb50

Our government, judiciary,medical profession and media have done one over on trans people. And on the whole, the nation is turning a blind eye. It’s a stain on this country and on the cis majority. I am sorry.

It’s an uneven playing field. Trans people are having their very existence debated and denied, whilst GCs beliefs are amplified and validated. When I first stated learning about the GC movement the biggest issue for me was how Forstater’s protected belief came to trump a protected characteristic.

The fear of trans women that’s used as a reason for exclusion and discrimination comes from a false correlation of risk and a lack of effort to engage with what it is to be trans. They insist on a biological certainty that doesn’t exist, there’s so much we don’t understand about the human condition.

Caroline manages to articulate everything I'm feeling. I feared the WI would issue a trans exclusion announcement shortly after the Girl Guiding one. Feeling very negative rn. The billionaires behind GCs were always gonna win - hate how thoroughly they gaslit ppl and how easily everyone fell for it

📢 NION Women Statement on trans women and girls being excluded from Girlguiding and the Women's Institute. We are deeply saddened that both Girlguiding and @womensinstitute.bsky.social have been placed under pressure that has resulted in trans women and girls being excluded from their organisations

In a week where high profile cases and interventions get the attention, milestones matter, especially those from quieter voices. We have found 65k of them in recent months

Most parents aren’t trans. When we have babies we don’t consider we may have a trans child. When we find out we do, most admit to a moment or period of ‘What? Why? When? Help! Then we get on with caring for our child. But our affirmative care is being challenged. Here a mum shares her thoughts.

Go to that gig. listen to that song, dust off that record player, learn to play that guitar. Music helps us through. Life can be overwhelming at times. Music can help, I promise you that x

A live audience, Novara Media and the brilliant Ash Sarkar. We talk socialism, AI and how to lower bills and tax billionaires. youtu.be/AnwCITVQgb4?...

Years of being on a waiting list to access trans health on the NHS, and when you finally get an appointment, you're faced with this shit. Fucking hell.

The puberty blocker trial is about to start according to the BBC, led by Dr Emily Simonoff. The same Dr who spoke at a symposium organised by Segm, a group designated an anti trans hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Centre /1 organizers-congress.org/frontend/ind...

Nothing to see here, just @thetimes.com having to apologise for calling an anti-trans group anti-trans. The British media's complicity in instigating and prolonging moral panics targeting vulnerable minorities will be studied for years to come.

I’m so proud to be part of this initiative. Parents have set it up BUT we welcome ALL OF YOU to sign our Transparent Pledge in support of trans+ people. actionnetwork.org/petitions/tr... You can sign anonymously if you need to. Let’s get to 500 signatures by Monday. Share. Share. Share.

Leading anti-trans writer Kathleen Stock (whom Rowling is “proud” to call her friend), now comes out with this gem on abortion. Who could have foreseen that TERFs would attack bodily autonomy? All of us did. All of us. Transphobia rots your brain.

This is not just Feminism; This is 'Gender Critical' Feminism.

Today on #TransDayOfRemembrance we remember our trans siblings who have lost their lives to transphobia, hatred & violence…🧵

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the transgender lives lost to violence. The Green Party stands shoulder to shoulder with transgender people in the face of increasing transphobic rhetoric in our society and politics.

Please, please read this - (and then be sure to read the whole book)🙏 #TransDayOfRemembrance 🏳️‍⚧️ Thinking of you, and your family, Caroline 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 (Click where you see the book, Her Name Is Alice - the blue link didn't open it; for me anyway)

#TransDayOfRemembrance 🏳️‍⚧️🕯️ Lighting a candle for those lost; & feeling incredibly grateful that it's not my loved ones on this list (& guilty for thinking that way). Remembering Alice, Bella, & Elizabeth. Sending love to everyone dealing with loss. Please fight to improve things 🙏 #TransLivesMatter

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance. Since 31st October 2024, at least 340 trans people have lost their lives to anti-trans violence, or suicide. Transphobia kills. Please be an ally every day. tdor.translivesmatter.info/reports?from...

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later. Remembering us is not enough.

📜 Today we are launching the Transparent Pledge. Please read and sign it here: 👉 tinyurl.com/TransparentAction Transparent Action is a group of parents who want to take action in support of their trans, non-binary and gender diverse loved ones and the wider trans+ community.

If you went to Leeds Playhouse to see Through It All and like myself you thought it was a brilliant piece of theatre. Give Reece and the gang a vote.

If you saw this production and enjoyed watching it as much as we enjoyed performing it, then you could vote for any (or all) of us… if you fancy. Thank you #ThroughItAllTogether @LeedsPlayhouse #WhatsOnStageAwards awards.whatsonstage.com/26th-annual-wh…

“It isn’t people seeking sanctuary who are tearing our country apart. It’s toxic, racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants for crises they did not cause.” Carla Denyer challenges the Home Secretary's new immigration reforms saying they just fuel far-right narratives.

The media fuels moral panic about trans people while ignoring the epidemic of male violence that takes women’s lives. We see through it - and we refuse to be divided for clicks and profit. This image is from the NION Women letter. If you agree, read the full letter and add your name in solidarity

This really deserves an award if anyone would like to send em a vote 🙏

My long haired son used to get challenged using public loos so he stopped using them. He'd limit food/drink to lessen the possibility he'd need them; was reluctant to go on longer days out; avoided school trips. He conformed as an adult and cut it. With how things are now, I think he's safer. Sad eh

So a transphobe is threatening @northwestbylines.co.uk with defamation over this 100% accurate and factual piece of Journalism. Support us by sharing it far and wide 🏳️‍⚧️ northwestbylines.co.uk/news/equalit...

Heads up 😅 Sex Matters have launched their own MP letter-writing campaign insisting on trans segregation, an exclusionary Code etc etc 📝Let’s make sure our letters outnumber theirs+++ Template here! If you’ve already written, grab a mate & get them to write too 🤗 actionnetwork.org/letters/scra...

Started to read this but it's getting late and I've only got to 2020 🤦🏻‍♀️ Think I'd better get to bed! I've saved it. Reckon it will be a long read 😬

Joyce thinks someone working in the care of the dead and their grieving relatives should centre their GC beliefs rather than the needs of the bereaved for compassion and respect in their darkest days. In advocating for the right to wilfully disrespect the dead she yet again reveals her inhumanity.

Joyce is utterly devoid of empathy, compassion or comprehension. It makes me weep that her GC (trans-hating) beliefs are protected and ‘worthy of respect in a democratic society’ when part of this belief is that trans people and those that love them are not worthy of respect at the undertakers.

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social Reece, my love, would you be so kind as to share my page? Doing a 10km swimming challenge across November with 2km clocked in already. Would really appreciate any extra love I can get for it 😸❤️ fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/bethysw...

This absolutely comes from the legal fights of transphobes to “protect their beliefs”. Congratulations, JK Rowling, Maya Forstater, Julie Bindel, Alison Bailey, et al. One more time: transphobia harms everyone. Everyone.

This is an excellent summary from @racheltaylormp.bsky.social of the problems with the EHRC interim guidance and where we might go from here: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

@goodlawproject.bsky.social has backed NION Women, strengthening our campaign for trans inclusion. Over 66K women have now signed our letter - a clear message that exclusion isn’t what women want. Read more here🔗 notinourname.org.uk/good-law-project-supercharges-nion-not-in-our-name-women

Absolutely this 💕

Today is Trans Parent Day - a day to celebrate both parents who are trans and parents of trans people. It’s also an opportunity for us to speak about the pride we feel for our loved ones. We’re a group of parents of trans children and adults who care about their future.

This is a wrong that desperately needs putting right. Come on, #LisaNandy… make the difference to these deaf athletes. Change their lives. You have the power. Take the chance to be useful to someone! Support @nydeafswimmer.bsky.social 🏊‍♂️ 🙌 ✊ 🙏🏻 x.com/sportsagents...

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...
