Charlotte Fosgate, a 17-year old trans girl completed suicide earlier this month. Over the weekend, Twitter users found her final post and began mocking her and making memes about her dying. The level of duhumanization of trans people is so thorough, they're celebrating a teenager killing herself.

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

Kids are locked out of home ownership, burdened with tuition fees, suffer massive poverty, are threatened by the climate crisis and AI, had their live chances whacked by Brexit, have no healthcare support, and are constantly monstered by the press. They don't need "grit"; they need fairness.

🏳️‍⚧️ NEW 🏳️‍⚧️ We don't think the interim guidance published by the EHRC and pushed by Bridget Phillipson is lawful. So today we've started legal proceedings against them.

What we're seeing at a local level could easily repeat itself at the next general election. Imagine waking up in 2029 to a government supported by less than 30% of the public. This is an emergency. We must scrap First Past the Post before it completely destroys our democracy.

The worse Starmer polls the more we see him at defence contractors - including today. Good thinking Sir Keir - keep those feelers out for that lobbying gig.

And so the internationally discredited junk science of Andrew Wakefield intersects with the internationally discredited junk science of Hilary Cass... 👇🏻

Make no mistake though it’s a deliberate attempt to divide and conquer the LGBT community; a goal of theirs is to make it only okay for cis gays and lesbians to organise on the condition they don’t include trans people. They want to scare us into submission and betrayal.

Trans people truly are the Canaries in the coal mine. This is the kind of thing we were predicting 10 years ago…

The near 180 on LGBTQ+ rights in the UK is not only baffling, but also incredibly troublesome. Minority rights exist so long as the majority consent to them. The fight will never end.

Having the same people who did years on end of “our vile racism shame must be cleansed by fire” then release lists of races by comparative criminality does feel like it should be a Fuck You too far, doesn’t it? A bit too obviously shitting into your wellyboot then telling you that’s it’s just muddy.

Complete surrender to transphobic hatred by the Labour Party. No nuance, no evasion, just full bodied membership of the anti-trans hate campaign waged against one of our most vulnerable minorities. No LGBTQ+ person could reasonably vote Labour after this. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

can’t really be overstated how important it was that in an era where almost every single institution we have is being dragged towards fascism, one little old man devoted his life to shoving the world’s oldest institution towards more charity, grace and inclusivism.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

Yesterday the Supreme Court said (having refused to hear from any trans people): "this interpretation would not be disadvantageous to or remove protection from trans people with or without a GRC." Today. Trans women - and gender non conforming cis women - are now going to be 'frisked' by men. 👇🏻

Spare a thought today, too, for lesbian women, overwhelmingly trans inclusive, but who the Supreme Court has presented as exactly the opposite. Sorry but the heterosexual judges on the Supreme Court know better than you what you really think.

Allowing the Labour Party to pinkwash themselves because David Cameron brought forward a gay marriage bill was a huge mistake.

Like I say: “ending the culture war” by joining in on the other side and crushing any resistance. The Sensible Moderates, ladies and gents: everything you heard about them being Sensible and Moderate was drivel intended to fool you into accepting all this stuff as inevitable. Successful drivel, too.

Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling. The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right. Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.

It would also be nice if cis people with platforms actually spoke out publicly for a change and didn’t just message their trans friends privately to say that it sucks but keep quiet otherwise to avoid losing their newspaper columns

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Russell Brand has spent the past few years aligning himself with the American right as allegations of sexual violence were made public against him. He knew he would find defenders and protection among their ranks. That should tell you everything you need to know about what the party represents
