Jess has worked so bloody hard, and I know I'm not alone when I say I truly appreciate their work. Whoever sent this to them is scum.

I can't stop thinking about how the "Gender Critical" response to hundreds of leading UK biologists signing a letter saying sex isn't binary or immutable is "I can't believe that school kids know more about biology than these biologists". Can you imagine saying that out loud without thinking?! Mad

Let's just pause and remember that being pro-trans, feminist AND anti-racist was, just a few short years ago, such a normal idea that it was embraced by Conservative PRIME MINISTERS. David Cameron gave April Ashley an MBE. Theresa May promised trans self-ID.

So, while a small section of feminism has been busy selling transphobia to the legacy media and politicians, women's reproductive autonomy has been destroyed through state surveillance... observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Kind of amazing how nakedly dishonest are Wes Streeting's lot when it comes to suppressing data on young people taking their own lives in consequence of the withdrawal of gender affirming care. 🤯🧵

Imagine the government had not only listened to Wakefield but picked him from a pool of 1 to produce his report into vaccines. Imagine they had banned the MMR vaccine on the back of what he 'found'. That's Cass and puberty blockers.

Started reading 'Get In' about how Starmer came to power. Very clear early on Starmer only wanted to become PM as a power trip. Nothing else. No better than Johnson. In many ways, Starmer is worse.

Just as predicted the conversation therapy ban proposed by the government has so many loopholes for those who want to practice psychological torture that it is effectively meaningless. It will allow GICs to continue to use conversion therapy on trans kids.

“Only ten years ago we were the best in the world in the annual LGBTI Rights Ranking. We’re now 22nd... This is not just an embarrassment abroad – it’s also a tragedy at home for tens of thousands of people struggling to live lives of quiet dignity.” goodlaw.social/5mgp

you want to know one reason people are losing trust in the media? it’s the total inability to call things what they are some guy on YouTube: “wow this is the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen” the Times: “critics say it raises appearance of impropriety” who are people going to take seriously?

Starmer's "island of strangers" line tells me one thing. Keir Starmer is a racist.

One of the most powerful revelations for your personal and political growth is this: if you live long enough, you’ll become disabled. No one is immune to illness, injury, or aging. If you’re not committed to disability justice for altruistic reasons, commit for selfish ones. And guard your health.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

In today's what the actual audacity: I've been asked to speak for free on the barriers faced by blind people... by the Labour party. I explained that giving up working hours without payment while I have to cover the cost of childcare would create a financial disadvantage. The response? It's online

FYI: @amnestyuk.bsky.social has launched an online course for folks who want to learn more about feminist and queer approaches to gender justice. It explores connections between human rights struggles (abortion, trans care, LGBT education, etc) and provides tools for action. It’s free to access! 🌈🎓

Noticing a trend of labour shills trying to defend voting labour to trans people while desperately claiming to still be allies always ends with them throwing a fit and blocking all the inconvenient trannies unwilling to assuage their guilt

When Tory donor Frank Hester reportedly said Diane Abbott – the longest-serving Black MP – made him “want to hate all black women” and that she “should be shot”, Kemi Badenoch dismissed it as “trivia”. When Kneecap, made a similarly abhorrent past remark she wants them banned. #TwoTierKemi

Yvette Cooper on #r4today echoing Trump’s racist characterisation of asylum seekers as criminals & specifically rapists. We are on such a dangerous path towards the same deranged, fascistic nightmare as they are seeing in the US - all justified by hatred of migrants & refugees.

It's great to see Labour rightly condemning Farage's plans to privatise the NHS. Now they just need to have a word with their own Health Secretary.

Today’s rally for trans rights at Belfast Courts. The criminalisation of homosexuality didn’t make gay communities stop existing, fascist exclusion of trans people won’t stop them existing either - it’s just an act of deliberate state repression. #UppaQueers

re the terf whining about losing friends stuff: similarly to ‘conservatives’ complaining people won’t date them, it’s an abusive mentality. I will behave as badly as I want, and not only will you tolerate it, you will like it and if you don’t then you’re deliberately making me feel bad

Trans people told you we were just the start of a wholesale attack on human rights. We are just the lowest-hanging fruit. They are coming for a much larger group next…
