Cis Staight Ally: I'm so livid Transgender: OH, why's that? Staight Ally: Because of Talarico and Acton Transgender: Ah, I see. So what is it they did to make you so incredibly livid? Transgender: They might eventually come after gay marriage and women's rights Transgender: 🫤
Trans+ people and allies have one power left to hold transphobic politicians to account: their vote Yet, apparently, Trans+ people are now the real problem - “lunatics” who should surrender their vote, trust the politicians targeting them, and live with the consequences Cool
It’s like clockwork: three months before a critical election, people start up with the “don’t for Dems! Teach them a lesson by NOT voting” lunacy.
More than a festival. More than a day out. Black On The Square puts Black culture and creativity centre stage in the heart of the capital.
No, I don’t live in Texas I’m a Londoner. I live in London I’ve watched firsthand what happens when people convince themselves and others they must vote for the marginally less transphobic candidate/party It leads to state mandated country wide segregation, forced outing, conversion therapy abuse
I think about we could get Talarico to evolve his thinking like we got Obama to evolve to accept marriage equality. I don’t think that about Ken Paxton. And it’s one or the other. Do you live in Texas?
Here’s the link to the @greenparty.org.uk statement I strongly believe that, in her previous statements, @leftiestats.bsky.social has misled people about the reasons for her suspension However, something is amiss with this party statement
Statement Regarding False Claims About a Member Suspension - Green Party
The Green Party is aware of claims that a recent member suspension was imposed because the individual is transgender. Those claims are false. The suspension relates to allegations of abusive online co...

Here is my response to the statement that was just posted on the Green Party's website:
Remember when a bunch of journos were creating a fuss about whether Zack would stand or not, and we suggested they might want to stop with the drama? Because I certainly do
Zack Polanski is standing to be the next MP for Holborn and St Pancras. 💚 He is here to fight for lower bills, affordable housing and a fairer society.
The transphobia to antisemitism pipeline at the BBC One of the BBC's most committed anti-trans activist presenters, live on air accusing a Jewish man of not being Jewish enough for his liking
Justin Webb is doing the ‘you’re not a *proper* Jew, are you?’ thing to Ed Miliband on the Today programme right now.
CW/TW: Violence, abuse, sexual abuse transphobia Two cis women have been convicted of torturing, raping, and murdering Sam Nordquist, a Black Trans man who was just looking for love Another five cis predators have also been charged with their complicity in his death
Two women get life in prison for brutally torturing transgender man to death
Sam Nordquist’s family confronted Precious Arzuaga and Jennifer “Brooklyn” Quijano before they were sentenced without the possibility of parole.

I'm inclined to agree with Kat on this matter There are good reasons to question Eleanor's allegation that she has been suspended because she's a Trans woman Todays @greenparty.org.uk, while not perfect - misogyny/transmisogyny is still an issue - is a very different party from five years ago
I don't think that Stats for Lefties was suspended for being trans. I say this as someone that was suspended by the same Green Party body as Eleanora, in my case it was for being trans back in 2021 when the party was in a very different place than it is today. www.opendemocracy.net/en/trans-uk-...
Jaysus, the things these journos have to say just to hang on to their job Yeah, sure, Peter, that "cosy" conference during which multiple women were physically attacked by vilolent Reform members while gleeful Reform leadership laughed
Thinking back on the Reform UK conference, one of the big impressions it left was *cosiness*. This sounds odd given the rhetoric, but it reminded me of some Tory conferences and Labour under Corbyn, where it was often a comfort blanket for members, with no beliefs or failures really challenged.
A human can only survive 2-7 days without clean water, whereas we can survive in perpetuity without datacenters. Choose wisely.
No Trans+ person, no matter who they are, their gender, their background, or what they happen to be doing, have anywhere near the privilege or support that white cishet men like Farage and his mates enjoy when they're caught being corrupt and doing crime
I can say, with 100% confidence that, although the papers have covered Farage being caught in that sting, the coverage across the board has been less intense than a trans person just existing in the sphere of a transphobe.
It’s entirely by design that Burnham’s Labour - supported by Sex Matters, LBA Alliance, the British media, the courts, and others - are ensuring that it's almost impossible for Trans+ people to access any kind of Trans Healthcare This isn’t an unintended consequence It's their desired outcome
New study on transgender women hiring discrimination paints an incredibly bleak picture. If you can't stealth and don't pass your callbacks plummet 32% This is only at the resume stage, back when I was still trying I was getting callbacks all the time. I was ghosted or experienced death by panel
Out now: my book, about the institutional and localized impact of anti-trans campaigns in the UK. C1 + 4 analyse the anti-trans outputs of JKR and R.Gervais; C2 + 3 about GC ideology and anti-trans campaigns on a uni campus; C5 about media; C6 about the beauty and magic of being trans in Edinburgh.

Petition: Immediately unfreeze gender-affirming surgeries and protect NHS Welsh Gender Service patients.
We call on the Senedd and Welsh Government to direct the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee (NWJCC) to: Immediately unfreeze scheduled and approved gender-affirming surgeries for patients who have already completed assessments. Ensure that any ongoing clinical review is conducted concurrently without disrupting active, established patient care. Publish clear, transparent Terms of Reference and a strict timeline for the independent review of the Welsh Gender Service.

Zia, was born in Scotland to migrant parents from Pakistan Londoners welcomed Sagal, just like we welcomed him That's "what's happening"
Zia Yusuf has tweeted this about the leader of Camden Council, Sagal Abdi-Wali, who has lived in Camden for over 35 years, after arriving as a child refugee in the early 1990s. (Nadhim Zahawi, born in Baghdad to an Iraqi Kurdish family, came to the UK as an 11 year old:should be asked about this)
Good to see that Late Motion has been submitted to the upcoming @greenparty.org.uk conference "Conference stands in solidarity with our members who are being smeared and are targets of conspiracy theories perpetuated by the Canary ‘news’ outlet"
Misogyny is rife in the British media, and @thecanaryuk.bsky.social has shown that it is no exception If they think attacking and libeling women from @feministgreens.bsky.social is acceptable, they’ve made their position very clear 1.
3 statements, no action. Thousands of trans people across Wales voted Plaid because they were promised a better, happier future for trans people in Wales. Plaid have been keen to continue this rhetoric - but rhetoric alone will not help the people suffering because of NHS Wales decisions.
First Minister John Swinney and the rest of the SNP have made a choice: To continue to protect the conversion therapy abuse practitioners - and their advocates - rather than their victims who each and every day are harmed by them
A ban on conversion practices has been promised again and again by the Scottish Government, but this week the SNP have delayed it again. Far too many people have endured the fear, shame and trauma of these dehumanising practices. We need a ban now.
First Minister Swinney (SNP) and PM Burnham (Labour) have a serious reality problem They seem to have completely missed the huge extent to which Queer voters helped destroy Starmer’s political career
Today the @snp.org made Scotland the only UK nation without a bill to ban conversion practices. This is not good enough. If they won't stand up for our rights, we'll do it without them.

Exactly, Martina, you transphobic crank. You have no way of knowing whether there are Trans women playing in the WNBA, because: - Women's bodies vary enormously - There are cis women who are bigger and stronger than many Trans women - Trans women are women - All of this is perfectly normal
Martina Navratilova Believes WNBA May Be Hiding Secret Trans Player. Maybe Also Retire from Posting?
There are, in fact, no trans women in the WNBA — and Republicans have already made it quite difficult for one to even qualify.
