"The judgment at the Supreme Court achieved nothing in the bid for women’s rights & equality. It has dealt with none of the most pressing concerns & risks facing women today. Feminists know this & they know too what is at further risk" Our CEO in the Herald ⬇️ www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/2511...

The Supreme Court is wishing a problem away and so gifting more problems to trans lives. Those lives can, must and will continue being lived in their fullness and their joy. My sisters, please give all your love to each other and none of it to the state. hjosephinegiles.substack.com/p/while-the-...
