Everyone please go sign this show we don’t except bigotry in the NHS or bullying ❤️ #TransAgainstBigotry www.change.org/p/stop-hate-...

🔞🙏 Horrifying footage from the epicenter of the Russian strike on Sumy.

@kevinmckenna.co.uk so yet another nail the Cass review yet you refuse to answer my letters on this subject despite this government carrying on anti trans ideology of the last. You know who else has implemented the Cass review Russia and some US states. You must be proud to be causing children

"look when I spend hours of my life writing about trans issues in a way trans people absolutely don't appreciate thats fine but if John Oliver does a segment on that fact once a year its baffling because he could've been talking about something else, unlike me, known bigot Jesse Singal." baffling.

Spot on. The Far/Religious Right never really feels itself valid/content, unless they have a group of people to be the boogeyman, and it's usually a minority that cannot readily defend itself. www.facebook.com/reel/9562279...

Watching this video was very interesting. British Asians discussing the insistence by racists that they're somehow not british or english despite being born there. It contrasts interestingly with white Japanese nationals arguing they never expected to belong. www.youtube.com/watch?v=soby...

University of Sussex says ruling gives 'free reign' to 'homophobic and anti-trans' speech

THREAD detailing this government’s continuing attack on trans people. In this instance forcing doctors to deny protection to those who need it. This is Wes Streeting actively putting trans children’s lives at risk. This is unforgivable.

How to understand the stock market if you only watch Fox News

@danirabaiotti.bsky.social had a huge role in bringing scientists over in the very early days of Bluesky. She & @bossett.social created the Science Feed and both deserve much praise for their time and hard work! @katharinehayhoe.com also brought over many scientists and helped people connect! 🧪

Good Law Project holds a copy of new NHS Guidance published yesterday and it is clear that Wes Streeting is continuing his war on trans people. Remarkably the national health service is now directing GPs to cause harm to the community. 🧵

Everyone donate to this court case our community needs to really support these ladies in their quest for justice. ✊🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨 Trans athletes to sue England Hockey over female competition ban

This just in … trans woman banned from noughts and crosses after refusing to lose 5 times in a row. Game governing body cites “biological advantage from once having looked at a testosterone molecule”.

This week’s main story is about trans athletes, where the conversation around them is coming from, the nuances around competition and safety, and where it looks like things might be going. Full segment at the link in our bio.

Catch me on BBC regional radio talking with Becky Want about Alice and my memoir. Available for the next three weeks. My interview starts around 14:22 HER NAME IS ALICE (The Roadtrip of My Life does not relate to me!)

Seeing multiple men getting praised for pointing out the cultural issues of Bluesky, like the inability to recognize humor and rampant literalism, when I took absolute vitriol for clocking it immediately.

No one is ever a single issue bigot, she's just aware of which bigotry she can get support for.

For once, good news! The court has just ruled that the Apple encryption case involving the UK Government should not be held in secret. This transparency gives hope for a free society empowered by technology, in spite of the recent moves made by our government to compromise our privacy.

"Not content merely to be known for years of cruel, virulent transphobia, Rowling took to Elon Musk’s X social media platform on Sunday to declare in a wholly unprompted series of posts that asexuality isn’t real (it is)" www.them.us/story/jk-row...

It was pretty clear from the last 'service spec' tgat this was where this faux 'service' was going. I've been telling every parent I've come across to avoid the NHS and go private if they can, seeing the NHS service is a recipe for long term trauma at a minimum.

The reason Labour don't talk about Trump negatively is that they secretly love him, he's allowing them to go full mask off with their bigotry and racism.

Rowling is now mad at asexual people. Talk about seriously unhinged.

"We must not resort to violence" insist people whose oppression of the lower classes relies on continued peaceful protest

Leeds University publishes research on making its curriculum more trans and non-binary inclusive, like some other universities…

❓Elon Musk posted a video on X showing how "geographically close Russia and the US are to each other."

Holistic care isn’t holistic when it omits certain pathways. Cross-sex hormones are an essential pathway for some trans youth. After Alice’s inquest I was so hopeful things would change for the better but it’s just got worse. To deny treatment to those that need it is a medical scandal.

Great TikTok on NHS trans care after the Travistock closure. Follow @jessicaharriet.bsky.social on bsky and TikTok to stay up to date with what’s going on. vm.tiktok.com/ZNdLc4Fo8

Just finished photography and filming for my latest pin. I'm really excited about this one so might even launch it tonight! If you follow my Etsy shop, you should get a notification when it goes live: canopyrobin.etsy.com

If all 8 strategic bombers are fully loaded then this will be another night of 100+ missiles and drones where every civilian feels like they’re lined up for execution and pretty much all you can do is wait for it to be over without any hope for anyone in the west giving a fuck

Gay internet is wild because if you told some random guy “She’s not pregnant but she delivered as if she just turned 19 in Poland, what’s 16 divided by 2” they would look at you as if you belonged in a mental hospital💀

🤬 This morning, Russia launched ballistic missiles at Kyiv, fires in 3 districts. Three people were injured, including 2 hospitalized. ▪️In Sumy, 8 Shaheds struck industrial sites. ▪️In Kupyansk, Russian bomb hit a nine-story residential building, two people injured.

No one is afraid of you Cruella de Vil.

The BBC failing, yet again, to acknowledge that the murder of Brianna was a transphobic hate crime "The pair [Eddie Ratcliffe and Scarlett Jenkinson] had a fascination with violence, torture and murder" #LauraKuenssberg www.bbc.com/news/article...

Who is going to want to go and study there?

If you come across someone who is using a wheelchair, you do not have the right to move their chair out of the way, as if they’re a piece of furniture. In fact, you do not have the right to touch their wheelchair without their permission. Manners and respect are everything.

This!
