hi friends, if you’re in glasgow today pls pop down to the zine library from 12pm for a lovely jumble sale raising money for trans healthcare! we also have a raffle with loads of class prizes!

Just announced by a coalition of Glasgow groups - lunchtime protest outside the local office of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, opposing their call for trans segregation. Friday 2nd May, 12pm-2pm.

obviously I’m biased bc michael is my no1 diva doll but my friend carrie did this course last year and couldn’t stop raving about it!

I'm writing to @zubirahmed.bsky.social requesting an urgent meeting with trans Southsiders around the Supreme Court ruling and the disinformation that's already being spread - including by the Chair of the EHRC - around what it means; if you're in Glasgow Southside, you should do the same
