Those things can all be valid. We can tax wealth and resolve the situation where Sunak pays a far lower effective tax rate than much of the population, or where Buckingham Palace pays less council tax than the average semi in a deprived area.

Tell me why everything I've gone through means nothing. Tell me why my identity means less than yours. Tell me why people are killing themselves because you spread hate. Tell me why you think we're less than you. You want to say we don't exist? Own the repercussions. Say it clearly without hiding 8/

Arguments about segregation to “protect women” and for “hygiene” directly echo those used to justify Jim Crow toilet segregation in the USA www.bustle.com/articles/160...

Kate Nash has a new song - GERM - about the gender critical transphobic movement. She has come up with a new name for them - Gender Exclusionary Regressive Misogynist. Think we should start using that!

Careful what we wish for. The EHRC consultation could conclude “everyone says birth certificates are impractical so we need to ensure passports and driving licenses record birth sex”. Changes to those are convention and not in any way legally protected.

Dignity when we die…of a burst bladder? From heart disease and obesity from being unable to exercise in public or play sports? Yeah thanks for that

Charlotte Cane is now speaking. Talking of trans friends she has, she says "Confident women who I've known for years are very very frightened and worried." A trans person she has spoken to said (of the process of getting a GRC): "It's a system that lacks any dignity and puts me in real danger."

Isn’t the EHRC consultation starting today? Where is it?

Clear from this thread there is quite a few MPs who are supportive of trans people and even of self ID. Yet many of them will belong to parties actively restricting rights, let alone expanding them.

‘Comment of the day’ award goes to the Good Law Project. And some folk will tell you the the Supreme Court ruling brought CLARITY?🤔

It really doesn't matter what Steve from the pub thinks about trans women in sports because Steve from the pub isn't trans nor is he a woman and he probably doesn't play sport either. It's not a democratic thing to include Steve in the conversation on whether trans women can play.

Trans people are not a threat. Gender-based violence and misogyny are.

This fall is in large part due to the attacks on trans rights.You take the name of a protest led by trans women, but you don’t even say the word trans, let alone mention Cass, the EHRC or the Supreme Court. Are you trying to become the LGB Alliance or do you stand with trans people?

Risking their memberships! Oh my god, you should have said sooner. What a terrible risk. A "risk" because... uhh, they demand that Labour ensure that trans people are afforded the ability to exist in public space. Hey. If *that* can get your membership revoked, maybe you should simply resign it.

Has anyone studied the radicalisation of Home Secretaries? They seem to invariably become more extreme in their views as their time in office goes on. Do we need to refer the Home Office to Prevent?

I don’t think I’ve seen any media coverage of the fact that multiple counties in Europe have had self ID for some time and have no problems. The UK is in thrall to a small group of fanatics who see danger where there is none. And put people’s lives in danger as a result.

My piece for the @bigissue.com on why Labour needs to stop attacking marginalised groups and focus more on positive policies which actually improve people's lives in a practical way if they are going to combat the rise of Reform. www.bigissue.com/opinion/refo...

Looking increasingly like this is the UK’s Biden phase, before we go back to the far right in a few years under Farage who will want to go full Trump. Labour are obviously bad, but the solution is definitely not Reform for LGBT issues or the wider country.

The previous government hated on judges when they were disagreed with. This government says judges are inviolable and perfect when it’s a decision they want. Both can’t be true. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Presumably all those signs in the Ladies saying male cleaners may be in attendance now need to be removed?
