As Pride Month comes to an end, let’s remember the Stonewall riots of 1969 We must honour the spirit of Stonewall! Pride is a protest, as well as a party! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcMPVqFSky4

NEW: We’ve uncovered how the EHRC met behind closed doors twice with anti-trans group Sex Matters to discuss rolling back trans rights. What they said will alarm you. 1/6 tacc.org.uk/2025/06/23/h...

If you're in the UK, you can get a sticker for £1 (stamp + envelope) + 'pay as you feel' here: canopyrobin.sumupstore.com/product/pay-... If you're anywhere else, unfortunately the only way I can afford to do this is as a freebie when you buy a pride pin at: canopyrobin.etsy.com (let me know!)

I've never been able to understand why (state) sixth form colleges have to pay VAT? When we buy things like graphical calculators in bulk for students to buy, we have to charge them 20% more than their peers in schools. If we have to pay it, private schools certainly should!

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

"bsky is not fun, the algorithm isn't showing me funny posts :/" skill issue. you obviously need more horse game + art history analysis in your feed

Considering the outrage of literal children peacefully camping outside the EHRC its clear they just see Any protest as unjustified and to be met with scorn instead of consideration Im sure this will only make protests more gentle

If you have been stopped, challenged or harassed when using a single-sex space (such as toilets or changing rooms) since the UK's Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act. We need to hear from you. Let us know at: tinyurl.com/ReportALoo25 #Trans #Transgender #Nonbinary #Queer #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ

Where did she get the legal advice from? Grok AI? Goodwin vs UK makes it very clear that Article 8 does apply.

I firmly believe David Walliams should be punished to the harshest extent of the law for (waves hand vaguely) whatever they can think of

Solidarity and support for HSDC and Alton College workers on strike today. Good for you. Love and support from the rest of the post-16 sector. You're a force for good in the areas where you are.

Pride isn’t a marketing moment. Some firms who have supported Pride are advertising on GB News – a rightwing TV channel known for pumping out hatred of LGBTQ+ people. We’ve teamed up with Stop Funding Hate to get these companies to pull their ads. Support our action 👇 goodlaw.social/dft0

Kishwer Falkner has been a disaster for the EHRC (long before recent events, and not just on trans issues). If she has any integrity or concern for our rights (the rights the EHRC exists to protect) she will resign now and let Govt appoint someone who can. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The pressure is working, the Governing unity between the Tories and Labour against trans people is beginning to break apart. Keep up the pressure, keep organising, keep contacting your MPs, keep ensuring your workplaces and community spaces resist. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

the member of staff who needs to check if u have a penis but not in a Rude Manner

The key question in this short but damning (of the Supreme Court) letter by Emeritus Professor of neuroscience at Cambridge Uni is this; “Why should genitals supersede brains?” The “Supreme” Court has decided our bodies matter more than our souls, our minds. It is an extreme dehumanization.

Just so I'm clear. The EHRC were able to do all the necessary work to get legal advice on interim guidance in 9 days and within 4 weeks have produced an updated guidance with a consultation, but they cannot respond to a letter before action in 14 days or 21 days (which is FOI time period). Liars.

It's been exactly 6 months since I launched my first enamel pin at canopyrobin.etsy.com Since then, I've sold over 700 pins to people across 13 countries and more than 300 towns 🤯 I've also made 5 more designs in 28 variations. Thank you so much to everyone who's bought and shared them!

I think people need to delete their menstrual tracking apps. They have already been used as evidence against women accused of illegal abortions. This is a crime that can have you sent to prison for life

Politicians saying they can't march if they can't do it as their party are interesting. So there's not a single community group already registered for the parade that would let you march with them? Damn, sounds like you have some work to do engaging the LGBTQ+ communities you say you support.

UK gov pledges nearly £500,000 to support LGBTQ+ survivors of domestic abuse. 💔 Queer people face unique barriers to safety. This funding could be life-saving, but is it enough? 📢 Survivors need more than promises. They need protection.

Would love to see some ally mps actually oppose the segregation of trans people rather than accept the premise but insist we “aren’t left without facilities” Im not thankful for provisions of segregation

This 👇 even the basics. You literally can't get a mobility scooter that's built to go up and down moderate hills (I live on a hill in Brighton)

The message is pretty clear here: Barclays Bank is anti-LGBT rights. Just don't bank or invest with them if you value LGBT people having rights

In 1975 a National Front fascist shot dead a Jamaican man, Hector Smith, in his home in Glasgow. Weeks later, over 100 trade unionists were arrested as they picketed an NF rally at Kingston Halls. @parcelorogues.bsky.social’s new pamphlet tells the story. It was launched at a packed meeting!

Glad this woman was found not guilty but she should never have been put through this hell in the first place www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

In the Guardian print edition today

At a time in where we’re having to fight to protect our rights in the UK, it’s useful to know how we won our rights in the first place. Press For Change were at the forefront of that work - have a look at their audio visual archive: www.pfc.org.uk/audiovideo.h...

And re-wet the vast areas of peat that cover the high moor, which have been badly degraded by drainage, swaling & overgrazing - and become dominated by fire-prone molinia (purple moor grass) as a result ‘Make Dartmoor Wet Again’ bsky.app/profile/geor...

Isn’t it the EHRC’s statutory duty to criticise the supreme court when it fails to apply the Human Rights Act?

Feels like the fact that some anti LGBT fash tried to set off a bomb at a lady gaga concert in Brazil where 2 million people were should be getting more coverage

Trans+ History Week 2025 is here – and not a moment too soon. 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans+ History Week 05–11 May 2025 While courts and commissions debate our existence, our legacy speaks for itself: We’ve always been here & always will be. Thank you 🙏 @thefoxfisher.bsky.social for the illustration 🖼️

Join a Union. Fight this sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, bigoted nonsense every single step of the way.

In my meeting with the same MP, there was a lot of the “but surely” examples. Like “but surely employers will still provide facilities” or “nobody is saying you can’t go out” or “well if someone looks like a woman who would stop them using the toilet”. It’s naive at best.

Over 500 Unison members have signed a letter showing their dissatisfaction with Unison leadership over their initial statement following the Supreme Court Ruling You can also sign it here if you are a Unison member docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Lots of very high profile UK biologists sign a letter saying that biological sex isn't binary or immutable and that the Supreme Court's ruling is scientifically wrong! We really need to hammer home how the anti-trans side is anti-science (you can add your name still if you are in a relevant field)

The Transphobic Moral Panic in 🇺🇸 and 🇬🇧 are two halves of the same rotten whole. Enabling fascism in both.

🏳️‍⚧️ MPs table motion to recognise “ongoing challenges faced by Trans+ communities” @transhistoryweek.bsky.social has been recognised in @ukparliament.parliament.uk for a second year in Hansard with an Early Day Motion, @wearequeeraf.com can reveal.

The UN independent expert was very critical of them: bsky.app/profile/amer...

The electorate: we want a political party that doesn't actively make our lives worse Starmer: This result shows we must machine-gun the dinghies

This is the MP for Birmingham We didn't realise the bin strike situation in birmingham was so bad they were having to resort to getting rid of their rubbish by putting it in parliament too… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Politicians should be saying "trans people have always used public spaces alongside everyone else, there's never been an issue, this whole thing is made up nonsense, banning them would be a human rights abuse, which is why I'm introducing primary legislation to protect them"

This is fucking incredible.

They're finally here! The full range of "It's Dr, Actually" pins is now available, thanks to your support! Please share them as much as possible so that they reach the people who'll love them: canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/1841...

Any cis people who encounter this bullshit being implemented in their workplace: reply with the question "I've never discussed with colleagues or management about whether or not I am transgender. I have a right to privacy, according to the ECHR, and should not be asked. Which toilet should I use?"
