My transphobic Labour MP : 'The Government doesnt have an anti trans agenda.' UKs transphobic Labour Government :

The best response to Abundance talk is a single tweet from Ruairi Wood, RIP brother.

It’s once again that time when I release some music and then traumatise myself because it somehow feels wrong to tell people about it. I worked hard on this, and I’m proud of it. Why does it feel wrong to tell anyone it exists?

How many people in the UK have died due to war in the last few decades? None. How many people in the UK have died due to austerity in the last few decades? Well over 350,000. We need to invest in public services, not war. Repost if you agree.

Sadly - and just like is the case with Trans+ suicides - lives are being destroyed by Labour Despite the governments ongoing efforts to supress data, occasionally a tragedy is highlighted in what is a normally complicit British media

The Not In Our Name letter for cis women opposed to transphobia has now exceeded 20,000

*Eagle screech* 🦅🏳️‍🌈

TACC has sent a letter to BBC News boss Deborah Turness. We’re done watching them hand the mic to hate groups while ignoring 50k+ people protesting for trans rights across the country, and 25k practically outside their HQ. This isn’t balanced. It’s biased. And we’re calling it out.

It should be called the Equality and Human Rights Prevention Commission

That doesn’t really narrow it down enough to pick just one, so I’m going to hedge my bets and say it’s probably one of: Seven Seas of Rhye One Vision Hammer To Fall The Show Must Go On

Disabled people are not expendable We aren’t “less than” We aren’t “getting a free ride” Being chronically ill is not like being on vacation Receiving benefits or any type of support is not easy The system is designed to dehumanize, discourage & punish We need support, understanding & allies

My opinion of one of these men just went down, but I’m not sure how, or which one.

for uk friends: amnesty international uk will send you a progress flag bracelet if you donate! a good way to show solidarity with our lgbtqi+ friends and contribute to charity ✊🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ www.amnesty.org.uk/donate/rainb...

This is beautful. And so simple. Queer people are scared. This is all you have to do as a cis het person to help take some of that fear away.

Thanks to Good Law Project and Stop Funding Hate! A lot of companies show support for LGBTQ+ people while also advertising on GB News, a channel that pumps out LGBTQ+ hate. It would be nice if they stopped! action.goodlawproject.org/pick-side-ha...

Anti-trans bigots always cry “more evidence” then ignore the vast evidence undermines their bigotry. What they want is propaganda. Here’s a long (yet partial) rundown of evidence they have ignored 🧵

They invented “gender ideology” because attacking an ideology is acceptable where attacking people isn’t. They call themselves “gender critical” because nobody knows what it’s supposed to mean, but everyone knows what “bigot” means.

40 plus appreciation post! Reskeet with a pic if you’re the right side of 40. 44 🤗

as a queer historian, there is always so much sadness during pride month at just how completely unaware the average queer person in 2025 is to our own history and the context of this moment we are so unprepared, and that was the intention of erasing our past

everything is on fire we are not overreacting everyone else is choosing not to react at all and we will all burn this way

How come I missed this article yesterday! www.thepinknews.com/2025/05/26/t...

🧵 The former First Minister of Scotland & the former Supreme Court Justice Baroness Hale have both spoken out against the application of the Supreme Court ruling regarding trans ppl. Meanwhile the Labour govt is indifferent to having breached the European Convention on Human Rights [1]

I’m sure there are other benefits too, but I’m already sold on this one.

I wish I could go to Download so I could boycott it.

Got a Labour MP? Post them this.

The House bill stripping trans people of basic health care is horrifying - but this isn't over. Now is the time to act, as this heads to the Senate. So I'm challenging the music community that loves posting on social media (once-a-year trans flags, insta stories) to do something IRL.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.
