Wes Streeting Keir Starmer Lickspittle cunts, both. G’night x

Pedro Pascal;

Fuck Bezos.

These bigots? They would have been advocating for A Final Solution to The Jewish Question. They’re beneath contempt. WORIADS, my arse.

Why have Bigotry Lite (TM) with Labour when you could have Bigotry Xtra (TM) with Reform? Is a question Labour doesn’t seem to have an answer to. Seriously. What is Labour FOR?

I saw a suggestion that cis people could wear trans pride colours (lapel pin, badge, whatever) and I think that would be great. It’d sow confusion. And also flag that you’re an ally. Widely available online at all the usual retailers 😉 🏳️‍⚧️

Predictions are a mug’s game, but I’ll make one anyway. If what follows is some kind of blanket or almost-blanket toilet ban for trans people, it simply won’t work. At all. It’s unenforceable and unworkable* *obviously unethical and contrary to human rights law too.

The level of gleeful transphobia emanating from politicians and pundits over the last week has been SOMETHING ELSE. It’s like a toxic GC Twitter thread brought to life. They’re all playing to the gallery. They’re all <expletive deleted>s. Human rights rollback. In Britain. Unbelievable.

Action Needed. Write to your MP Now

“Bridget Phillipson, who identifies as the Women and Equalities minister” 😂😂😂

For those at the back, Labour MPs in particular: Trans women are women Trans men are men Non binary folk are valid Trans rights are human rights We’ll see you in the European court.

So, just after Labour decides to implement the most discriminatory policies ever by a Labour government & comes out in support of a deeply transphobic judgement in the Supreme Court, Labour loses so much support it could be reduced to 41 seats. Less than the SNP and LDs. Starmer & McSweeny must go.

So maybe I can keep going. Because the last week, going HRT cold turkey, was awful. Still scared. Still angry. Still exhausted. Also, still here. Cry harder, bigots. We've always existed and always will. 🏳️‍⚧️

I know two more people who've left the Labour Party this week. And really, I don't know anyone else who was a member of the Labour Party. That's all two of them (that I know). Gone. Because of the naked bigotry.

👨‍⚕️ The @goodlawproject.bsky.social believes another report into suicides of transgender people on waiting lists for care is being suppressed. We examine the claims 🧵👇

Round of applause 👇🏻

@greenparty.org.uk co-leader Adrian Ramsay has to go if he cannot stand up and support GP policies. Does anyone know how I can start to get the ball rolling on the process of removing him…?

Do any of my politically informed friends know whether the upcoming EHRC revised guidance can be signed off just in the Commons, or does it need to go through both houses?

actually, I’ll go further: this bizarre re-writing of reality to pretend that public toilets are simultaneously a perfect sanctuary AND a place of unique vulnerability and increased incidence of gendered violence.
