I was going to say "Imagine if the Four nations of the UK exclusively dressed in different colours" but said Americans instead... People are saying Americans really just do that.

Hey so the Avatar Universe is a great fictional universe, but there's one thing that bugs me: Almost is colour coordinated with their nation. I get it's fiction, but imagine if every American started wearing Red, White and Blue, just everywhere.

On the day my country implements a bathroom ban it means so much to be in a room full of awesome trans people, trans elders, and cool folks working on something amazing ❤️‍🩹✊ The fight goes on till we’re all free

Emergency city centre transport crisis, so why not just boot the cars and parking from George Street ?

Of course they're not deterred, do you think anyone who buys an SUV thinks of anyone else?

kanchan@kayehm.bsky.social · 12h ago

A UK study found that telling potential SUV buyers that those vehicles directly result in higher fatalities for pedestrians, cyclists and children had zero effect on their decision to buy them. What does work? Financial penalties: Increased fees, taxes, parking. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

This is definitely a plan here and I'd assume the DUP will help where they can

@transmetalmum.bsky.social · 16h ago

I've heard that the GC event in Belfast encouraged people to join trans supportive groups in order to change 'hearts and minds' from within. Organisations need to take note that this is most certainly a problem and it needs nipped in the bud.

how long until we see calls for Unisex loos to be made illegal?

Natasha Devon@natashadevon.bsky.social · 14h ago

The net result of the single sex space ruling will be fewer female toilets. It's up to businesses to enforce and to avoid headaches/arguments with vigilante trans hostile customers they'll just make all their loos unisex. Slow hand clap for the gender critical ‘feminists’.

Update: it was the Caledonian, not lms

So in 1890, the LMS proposed building a Cut and Cover railway tunnel under Princes Street to the Scotland Street Tunnel, but it was denied because it would involve digging up Princes Street *and* electric trains were in their infancy, so they'd need smoke vents I kinda wish we had built that now.

George St too congested with private cars so they’re diverting the buses 🧐

"None of England’s fire and rescue services are thought to have direct access to firefighting aircraft." It's outrageous. Make the fossil fuel companies pay. www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/country-and-...

Fossil fuel producers should pay for wildfire helicopters, Zack Polanski says

Next week is the anniversary of the start of the Langdale Moor Fire in North Yorkshire, the largest wildfire in the country last year.

Doctor Doom canonically does not have an actual doctorate, so I hope that Avengers Doomsday is just Dr. Reed Richards, Dr Susan Storm-Richards, Dr. Bruce Banner, and Doctor Steven Strange all beating up Doctor Doom for impersonating a Doctor while Peter Parker films it on his phone.

Things We Want Trans People To Know (Against the EHRC)

By Marco None of this is your fault. You are not a problem, no matter what any transphobe or politician says. You are loved by so many people, more than you could ever know. You are not alone and never will be; there will always be someone out there who will stand by your side. You have the same right to life as any cis person: don’t let the transphobes stop you from going out and living it. You are a unique and wonderfully made human being: you are a gift to this world. Look for others who are struggling: think, how can you help them? Be aware of your privileges, unlearn your biases, and use your voice to uplift the most marginalised. Love, uplift and protect trans people of global majority, disabled trans people, and everyone with intersecting identities. Be there for trans kids. Show them that they will live a happy life as themselves, and help them through a hostile school system. You are not powerless and your voice will always matter. Speak out for our rights, and for the rights of all other oppressed communities and peoples. We are not the first to go through this darkness, and we will not be the last. Look to our history and dream of potential futures. In every way you can and that is safe for you to do so, live your life and resist this ‘guidance’. We will survive and thrive through this, as long as we are there for each other. This is not the end of our story. Our bodies are change incarnate, and we have always carved beauty out of oppression. Remember those before us who have made life out of death, and joy out of destruction. Learn to be like them. Someday, the fascists ruining this world will die. We will live on, and we will still be here on that day. We want you there for those days. You will always have the power to fight for a better future with your actions, no matter what the government may try to do. Is there someone you can spend time with, a group you can take action with, or a cause you can share today? No matter what anyone else says, you deserve a happy life as yourself. You make the world better just by being yourself. We need you, trans person. Keep on living. Do what you can to fight each day, even if that is just existing, and it will always be enough. - By Marco None of this is your fault. You are not a problem, no matter what any transphobe or politician says. You are loved by so many people, more than

“I can call [the climate crisis] out as a political leader, but you [the media] also has a role to play... the contrast between how much we hear about whatever Nigel Farage or Reform want to talk about versus how little we hear about the climate and nature crisis is pretty glaring.” Quite.

Burnham failing public over heat threats, says Green leader

Zack Polanski has accused ministers of a "dereliction of duty" in response to this summer's heatwaves.

No one should face exclusion or discrimination because of who they are. The Green Party stands in solidarity with the trans community and will keep fighting for equality that includes everyone.

You joke, but this is actually something that some apps have done, most notably Pokemon Go.

Literally Apple and Android could end the majority of distracted driving tomorrow simply by locking out all but a handful of apps when it detects the phone moving at a certain speed and held at a certain orientation.

When they said “there will be no toilet police” they were always just saying so we need You 🫵 to be a toilet vigilante and sniff out the gender deviants

flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social · yesterday

This is what they expected and wanted to happen: that members of the public, shown the cops would take their side if they kicked off and went mental at anyone they suspected of being a transgender, would then start going apeshit en masse and enforce their wacko ideas for them.

Happy Segregation Day everyone! Today will eventually go down in history as an infamous mistake and breach of human rights but not before it's caused huge amounts of pain and trouble. This Government will be remembered as the worst for trans rights ever, as bad as Thatcher's Section 28 if not worse.

I cannot emphasize how much of a non-issue this is. I use the women's. Doctors ask when my last period was. Airport security looks back up at me when I hand them my passport. I have navigated life smoothly as a woman for years, and I am only endangered by the ideological fixations on denying that.

Rose Schmits@roseschmits.bsky.social · 24h ago

Anyway i will just continue using the women’s toilet cause I am a woman and over my dead body will you deny who i am

Its a dark day for Human Rights here in the UK.

We aren't backed by billionaires. We can only defend trans rights with your help. Please give your support.

Fight back against the code of practice

The government’s transphobic code of practice is now up and running. But we’re not going to take it, we’re helping to fight back. Join us

"Cuddly-honest" Andy Burnham & extremist transphobe Bridget Philippson think that, like most political decisions, their imposition of trans-segregation will quickly be forgotten. It will not. Margaret Thatcher proposed similar discrimination 40 years ago. Oppressive acts live long in memories.
