Things do not have to be this way. It’s a political choice, in the hope we go away quietly. Will you join us in showing up to demand better? www.transsolidarityalliance.com/mass-lobby-2...
Mass Lobby for Trans Equality - 9th September 2026
The law around trans equality is fundamentally broken. Government inaction is hanging trans people and organisations out to dry - with a confusing mess of challenging rules and lawfare.

Fun listening to boomers talking about their twice yearly cruises for an hour then for one of them to tell you that you live a life of luxury because you can work from home for some of the week They did say "fair point" when I said my generation don't have that sort of retirement to look forward to
If you don't suffer from migraines, what you need to know is No, it's not "a headache "
Well, he's helped kill loads of trans kids and then covered it up as his training so he's ready...
Nothing more broke lib brained than "social progress is when you also let the gays run the killing industrial complex"
last night i dreamed that a man tried to steal my greyhound, Neil. I was trying to fight him off and in my dream I was trying to defend myself from being punched in the face. I woke up and Neil was on my bed fast asleep and kicking me in the face.
"Queer' [is not] about who you're having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but 'queer' [is] about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live" - bell hooks
Few people understand the scope of the powers UK governments have granted themselves, to criminalise us as terrorists for expressing an opinion. Fewer still understand how illiberal the Court of Appeal judgement is. But @davidallengreen.bsky.social does.🧵 www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...
What the Palestine Action appeal decision tells us about terrorism law

Did you know I had to describe how I masturbated and what I thought of in order to proceed along the NHS pathway to transition? That was before they wanted to look at my genitals.
We are marginalized people who have a right to dignity and bodily autonomy, and the idea that we need cranks who ask us about how we masturbate to sign off on whether we can alter our own embodiment is both absurd and violating. MY FUCKING BODY. MY FUCKING CHOICE.
if we must use AI, we should be using it to outsource the mundane parts of our work so we can spend more time thinking and being creative; but instead it's increasingly being used to outsource our thinking and creativity so we can do more mundane things
I'll just be bimbling about minding my own business when my brain will be like HEY ISN'T IT WEIRD THAT STRANGE AND WEIRD MEAN THE SAME THING BUT STRANGE MEANS UNFAMILIAR AND WEIRD DOESN'T
I've wanted to stay at the Walpole Bay Hotel ever since i first saw it while passing by. It looked like the setting of an Agatha Christie mystery. I finally got to stay last night and it's even better than I hoped.
Hundreds of women came together this week to say “Not In Our Name” at the sold-out launch of the campaign group Women Against the Far Right.
"Where someone has committed criminal damage, that can be dealt with using ordinary criminal law - Rather than using broad and poorly defined anti terrorism powers."
In a disastrous ruling, the Court of Appeal in London has overruled the High Court and upheld the government's decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist group. Defining a protest group as terrorists has created an absurd situation where thousands have been arrested for holding up signs.
it’s the job of white people to call out racism and white privilege even though it’s going to upset their white friends and family
To prevent "Potential Harm" the NHS is willing to cause Actual Harm. Ideology based evidence making once again triumphs over evidence based policy making, and how many families will be harmed in the process.
A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually
