***Particularly for cis allies:*** If you have a trans member of your family, or know a trans person, or just simply don’t like travesties of justice, please contribute. Any amount, even £1, that you can give to the GLP’s challenge will be gratefully received and go towards this cause.
Looks wonderful as it is!!
And that's a barrister!!
‘A 2022 survey of NHS hospital trusts found that there had been no complaints at all about trans women on women’s wards. Trans women avoid men-only spaces for a reason. Putting trans women in men’s wards in hospital is putting them in danger.’ - @natacha.bsky.social
🤣🤣🤣
The EHRC don't want your views; TransActual are challenging Government Ministers to do better! We had no faith that the EHRC would conduct this consultation professionally, fairly or transparently. We asked individuals and organisations to send us copies of their consultation responses.
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
Hope all goes well!
All 3!!
Botswana declares public health emergency, partly due to Trump’s International aid cuts leading to shortages of vital HIV medicines. HIV treatment not only prevents AIDS, it also prevents transmission. Without treatment, people will die and more people will acquire HIV.
Gorgeous portrait!
A massive thank you to the 434 people who have contributed £14,848 to help keep Hampstead Heath Ladies Pond trans inclusive as per the democratic vote by #women users. We are now 30% towards reaching our target of £50k Say "NO" to transphobia - please donate. www.gofundme.com/f/working-fo...
The fact that women members voted to keep the Ladies pond as a gender inclusive pond should be the end of the matter! Good luck in the fight against transphobia!
Cheers Clive!
Deeply concerned that changes to trans rights could be approved without MPs or the public seeing details. This risks undermining accountability on issues affecting lives and freedoms. Proposals must face scrutiny before approval. Everyone deserves to know what’s being decided in their name.
The ECHR has protected British people from abuses of power by its own government. Will Nigel Farage be mentioning that fact today when he announces his proposals for mass deportations, Prison camps & leaving the European Convention on Human Rights?
Sounds like fascism!
🤣
Multiple postal services around Europe say they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid a lack of clarity over new import duties.
💥 The NFL is stoked to be woke. “All 32 teams will feature an end zone message of their choice at each home game throughout the season, selecting from four options: ‘End Racism,’ ‘Stop Hate,’ ‘Choose Love’ or ‘Inspire Change.’ africa.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
It’s my opinion that humanitarian and musical genius Dolly Parton (as well as Chef José Andrés) deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. tucson.com/life-enterta...
I wore my Plasticine Action T out whilst dog walking ... great reception and discussion in the park with the morning dog crew!
This week, City Hall marked UNESCO’s International Day for the Remembrance of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and its Abolition.
Not any more!
Lol! I've just ordered one too!
Too many to remember lol!
🔥🔥🔥
Agreed!
If you've received your Brighton Pride 2025 'Thank you' e-mail, make sure you complete the survey. We need to bring Brighton Pride back to the LGBTQ+ community, make it more accessible for people with mobility issues, less prohibitive financially and less of a cishet music festival ✊
Rightly so!
He's still on Instagram
Not sure I'll have a look!
Thanks!
The CEOs of the country's lowest-paying large companies made $17.2 million on average last year. Their workers made $35,570.
Whoops!
This is hilarious! 🤣 It kinda reminds me of when ‘gender critical’ transphobes used to argue with the Merriam Webster Dictionary on Twitter whenever they posted an inclusive word of the day! 😆
"Snailing Gnome!" Ink on paper. Image based on a image from the internet. I've been busy printing today. Working on a A4 sized reduction print so these were a whimsical distraction. #linocut #art #linoprint #linoportrait #brighton #gnome #snail #portrait #lgbtq🌈 #brightonart #sussex #artist
The federal officer who arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka outside an immigration detention center in May suggested that he was following the direction of the DOJ's No. 2 official, Todd Blanche, according to bodycam footage.
Take care of yourself!
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
Question: what is a normal woman?
👏👏👏👏👏
Heartened to see that close to 900 fellow academics and educators have already signed our letter in support of trans rights, trans wellbeing & trans inclusion, and against essentialist, anti-scientific, racialised & regressive views of womanhood. Please do read, share & sign! tinyurl.com/mud7va29
Looks good!!
Your gf is a legend!! 👏👏👏
If this was X or FB ou just know someone would take this seriously!! 🤣🤣
It would be interesting to see what would happen if you were to ask for a trans member of staff to do it (assuming they knew or had trans staff in that store)? Could you argue discrimination if they refused?
Hot!!
👏👏👏
Victoria McCloud has launched a case against the UK in the ECtHR challenging the process that led to the supreme court’s ruling on biological sex. 💪🏻🙌🏻 McCloud is arguing that the supreme court undermined her article 6 rights to a fair trial when it refused to hear representation from her 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
👏👏👏👏
Starting the week on a bump note!!
That's true! But until there is a body like @goodlawproject.bsky.social with funding behind them, I feel,sadly, Trans people and their rights will always be on the back foot.
I wrote about the decision myself and other authors took to withdraw from the longlist of the Polari Book Prizes for LGBTQ+ writers www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Someone needs to take them to court!! 🤬
I put in a formal complaint about this and they did a classic NHS move: boilerplate reply with a “fact sheet” about what they’re doing I replied like, “I already know the facts. I’m not requesting info, I’m saying what you’re doing is immoral.” And they ignored it lol
Lube will do that lol!!
Great photos
Lovely photo
Beautiful!
Mmmm! Nice briefs are they neoprene
And showing your age lol!
Love the whities!
🤣🤣
Love this image! 👏👏
There is also the Human Rights issue, schools mat be in breach of the HRA!
THREAD🧵: Schools & teachers need to be clear. If you are failing to affirm a trans/non-binary child's gender, incl. allowing them to use the toilet that matches their gender, you are harming them. You are *harming* children. Whatever reasons you may have for doing it, you are harming them... 1/5
This is in response to a banner which reads: “STOP KILLING CHILDREN STOP KILLING CIVILIANS”
Mmmm
👏👏👏👏
The evidence is clear - 20mph zones save lives. In London, they’ve cut deaths and serious injuries by 34% and child fatalities by 75%. That's why we need to see more 20mph areas. My op-ed for @theguardian.com ⤵️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
The NHS are forcibly detransitioning trans kids in Brighton and calling it “managed withdrawal.” Their own impact assessment acknowledges trans kids will be at increased risk of harm as a result, don’t want this, and are likely to just use DIY hormones instead
Lovely photo!
Welcome to the UK JD Vance, happy holidays 💋 xxxx
🤣🤣
Thanks!
Where did you get your t printed? I think I need one now!!
Labour should be worried by lack of vision, morality and leadership from Starmer and his front bench
‘Section 28 2.0’: New “transphobic” curriculum restricts teachers from encouraging Trans+ pupils to understand their identity 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/section-28-2-0-new-transphobic-curriculum-restricts-teachers-from-encouraging-trans-pupils-to-understand-their-identity/
There is an assumption made by many who have come more recently to the “trans debate”, that the current wave of transphobia engulfing the UK is a result of US right-wing influence. However ‘TERF Island’ actually got its name from home-grown bigotry originating from the left & boosted by RW media.
Used the wrong link before. Here is a pile of evidence that the supreme court ignored when coming to its misjudgement. Evidence that, had it taken note of, would have meant it could not have arrived at its - flawed - conclusion. uncommon-scents.blogspot.com/2025/08/evid...
🤬🤬🤬 Malcolm Clark, is definitely a self-hating gay!!
I will be asking to remove 'Queer As Folklore' from the long list for the Polari Prize 2025.
Did the filter suck your speedos off!
Sorry, another Twitter screenshot (I went on to look at something else), but yup, just another day and one of the biggest transphobes teaming up with one of the biggest homophobes (she also hates trans people too) to liken LGBTQ+ folks to Nazis 🙄
Nope, still not distracted. Release the Epstein files.
Mmmm
Keeping track of people withdrawing from the Polari Prize Longlist over the inclusion of proud self-described "TERF" John Boyne. Let me know as we get updates on authors pulling their books in protest.
The fact that you can protest against asylums seekers outside a hotel, using highly offensive and inflammatory slogans on banners and boards and be fine legally, but can’t peacefully protest against the murderous Israeli regime, says everything about how fucked up politics has become here
That was my Saturday childhood, along with Tarzan!
Birds of a feather...
🤣🤣🤣
Good to hear it went well. Now to rest and recover 💕
Re. the Polari LGBTQ Book Prize inclusion of a transphobe on their long list: If it was a trans person who boasted of their homophobia, and used their platform to ridicule and abuse gays, I do not believe they would gain a place on that list. Boyne’s inclusion normalises transphobia. Shameful.
Mmmm
Pro-Palestine protester threatened with arrest takes legal action against Kent police
“the majority of members aged 18 to 44 believe that the government’s stance was wrong, while members aged 45 to 65+ believe it was correct” In the next 20 years, as the bigoted transphobes die out, the horrific way trans people have been treated will be seen as the next ‘Post Office’ scandal! 😣
Wasn't her leaving paid for?
👏👏👏👏👏
