‘Right now, the trans and nonbinary community is fighting many of the same tabloid lies and legal obstacles thrown at lesbians, gay men and bisexuals since for ever. We are unnatural, we are a danger to children, we spy on you in toilets.‘ On solidarity, Pride and visibility.

I wrote about Berlin and Pride and solidarity, especially within our community. I hope it helps. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

Only just found out about this For the record, you don't get multiple genetic markers and one of the most effective medications known to science with 'social constructs' Channel 4, this is, in scientific parlance, an absolute fu*king disgrace that will genuinely endanger lives #c4 #ADHD

New Channel 4 documentary, The Great ADHD Myth?, seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct

🧵A group of London lawyers are targeting workers who agree with the United Nations that Israel are committing a genocide in Gaza. Teachers work with and care about children. It is NOT radical to believe that all children have the right to live. I don’t understand why anyone wants to intimidate

EXCLUSIVE: A group of Scottish educators advocating for peace in Palestine have been forced to seek legal advice after a targeted campaign by pro-Israel lawyers

There's this young social media couple I see pop up on TikTok. They can be funny in a goofy way. I've just seen a video of the woman saying 'when I snap my fingers you'll forget your gay'. I commented it was homophobic then saw the post had 7k likes (almost double her other recent posts).

I liked this guy when he called out anti-trans bias in the media but then realised he was working directly with an anti-trans propagandist. Emily Maitliss implied she had been instrumental in closing the Tavistock Clinic and the BBC had a *pro-trans bias* so didn't value her work on it.

There are working class and vulnerable kids who will never have the life they should have had because of school closures. Let’s address that too, shall we?

I really liked Monica Lennon before. If she'd won the leadership contest against Sarwar, Scottish Labour might have maintained some respect from me. But standing on that manifesto while claiming to be an ally shows she's no better than Baillie or Sarwar.

Imagine being Monica Lennon: positioning yourself as the most pro-trans Scottish Labour candidate left but going on to stand on the most transphobic manifesto we've seen, *losing your seat* then going on to stand for leadership. Brass neck seems an understatement.

Reading this, and thinking about the 2026 election where activists boycotted campaigning for Scottish Labour and LGBT+ voters held with SNP on the constituency and Greens on the list, wondering what on earth the theory of victory is from left-wing transphobes www.heraldscotland.com/news/2642848...
