Green-run London councils to resist new trans guidance on single-sex spaces

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.

I'm only 54 , and I agree with her.

This tech is dangerous. Whether it's the tech itself or the people who set it up is irrelevant, AI needs very strict controls if it's going to continue.

I know that I've called for passive aggression in the fight against the fascists, but this advice is right. Don't put your safety at risk, fight when the time is right. Walk away when you're not sure.

Please share.

I know a lot of people are talking about how they're going to ignore the segregation guidelines. But, while you're out and about, keep an eye out for places that don't offer a gender neutral choice and, if you're brave enough ask a member of staff what they expect you to do. Passive aggression.

Please pitch in if you can

This is for a couple of friends of mine, I personally witnessed some of the events described. Both women are in a pretty shit situation as a result of this bullshit and could really do with some help. www.gofundme.com/f/help-diana...

Just to be clear... I'm not changing a thing. Try and make me.

Dear @dailyrecord.co.uk I too stand with @sophiemolly.co.uk, and will NOT obey the illegitimate segregation rules levied against me, with no electoral mandate to do so, and no vote in parliament. PLEASE QUOTE POST THIS WITH YOUR INTENTIONS.

This 💯

You only have to look at the veneration of the recently deceased Rod Liddle by prominent women in the "gender critical" movement (Kathleen Stock, Rosie Duffield etc.) to know that their claim to be "protecting women" is utter nonsense.

Protecting women & girls.

You certainly shouldn't claim to be protecting women and girls You know who you are.

Tristan Grayford@tristangrayford.scot · 4d ago

My comment goes beyond Rod Liddle. If you considered yourself a friend of Rod Liddle, someone who argued for legalising child porn and said he wouldn't be able to resist sexually assaulting students as a teacher - there's something deeply wrong with you and you shouldn't be involved in public life.

Let's be very clear. What Amnesty have done here isn't just bad for the trans community. This is bad for every single persecuted minority in the world because they have shown that money and threats will remove opposition to persecution. Think about it.

This is a platform. Women everywhere are taking a stand against being spoken over, and against their voices being twisted into tools of harm. Add yours today. ✍️ Sign the letter at notinourname.org.uk

The government have been allowed to take away trans rights, now they've got away with taking away the right to protest for a majority. If you think you're safe, you're either a cishet white male or an idiot. You decide.

It isn't happening too fast. People just ignored the warnings. If we'd acted when scientists first told us what was happening this wouldn't be an issue. Now we must work hard to minimize the damage. Governments and big businesses must be held accountable.

I know it's AI and I'm sorry. However, people go on about treating us, the trans community, with dignity. This is what that looks like. We are NOT being treated with dignity.

If Amnesty had been around in the 1930s this would have happened over the Jews. But there was a lot more of them than there are of us. I doubt we'll satisfy the blood lust. They're coming for someone else too.

Sophie Molly@sophiemolly.co.uk · last wk.

Rubbish. They only pulled it because they were sent dozens of threats of litigation. Trans people forgot when money talks. www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...

I guess somebody isn't counting on Burnham opening up the remaining oil. Got to admit, this is a pleasant surprise.

It seems that some cis Labour cheerleader who thinks the PLP is ‘salvageable’, just because 92 of them signed the EDM, doesn’t like facing the truth of just how shitty they have been towards us in the two years since coming to power.

Isabel might well be the first to say this. Certainly the first I've seen, and I have to admit, I didn't make the connection. But, she is 100% on the money and we should all be listening. Spread the word.

Isabel Rogers@isabelrogers.bsky.social · last wk.

Can't be the first to say this, but (and yay UEFA - brilliant) this works equally well if you swap out "football" for maybe "water" or "a stable climate". Look at me being the revolutionary socialist. "No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation."

And still people will defend the wealthiest members of society and their right to keep the money they 'earned'. I know we can't stop putting fuel in our cars, but we can boycott big oils forecourts. Look for the local garage who's trying to keep prices as low as possible. Or even a smaller chain.

Shell’s quarterly profits up from $4.3bn to $9.8bn, jump in price of oil/gas due to wars . Customer bills hiked, industries crippled, economies damaged, planet burns from fossil fuels pollution, corporations profit from catastrophies. Another $3bn share buyback. Must levy 100% windfall tax.

Now we will find out if Burnham is worthy of the job.

Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social · last wk.

Burnham urged to increase tax on banks as Barclays’ pre-tax profits for the second quarter soar to £3.3bn, up 31% on the year. Other banks making record profits too, closing branches, cutting staff, and involved in scandals. Chance for the Burnham and chancellor to show whose side they’re on.

How far are they going to let him go before someone in authority draws the line?

Across the country, wildfires are raging. The Prime Minister needs to call a COBRA meeting and treat the climate crisis with the urgency this moment calls for.
