Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members. The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said; “trans women are women and trans men are men” with no-one speaking against it. Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.

Want to be an ally? "Pronouns". Not "preferred pronouns". "Is". Not "identifies as". "Named...". Not "named..., formerly...". And "biological man/woman" has no clear definition and is unscientific. We shouldn't have to keep saying this, but we do. We fucking do. Stop it.

The Labour Government has confirmed they invited numerous known hate groups and pro-conversion orgs to give evidence for their closed consultation on the puberty blocker ban, including Bayeswater Support, LGB Alliance, CAN-SG, Transgender Trend and Sex Matters. Never let them forget this choice.

As in Tennessee, this ban does not apply to cis children, because the drugs themselves are not a safety hazard. The only thing at risk is a society’s discomfort with allowing young people to make their own decisions about their own bodies.

Every tyrant falls. Every tyranny ends. Eventually. Every single one. Ours is to chip away at the root and stem and branch Every day, every moment. Until we make them crumble with the exhaled whisper of a single word. Freedom.

Black musicians, composers, music scholars predated the Renaissance and, not surprisingly, existed outside of the Western world. Let’s stop pretending composition, musicology, and music theory only existed in Europe. silpayamanant.wordpress.com/bmc_505-1505/

From Mary Colwell "IMPORTANT The campaign for a GCSE in Natural History has stalled. Labour see it as a "Conservative initiative" and won't progress it. It is not a political football, every child has the right to learn about the wonder of the natural world. Pls ask you MP to lobby for it now" 🌿
