This is right. If a politician opposes trans rights because "polls show" they might lose votes, you have to wonder who else they'd throw under the bus. "Polls show" interracial marriage... or gay rights... How about race? What about "the Jews" - because once you're going down that road...

Squishiness on trans rights is a dealbreaker for me because (a) it’s a straightforward issue of personal freedom and bodily autonomy much like abortion, and (b) the right is obviously coming after us cis gays next.

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.

“People who have never previously demonstrated any support for our community do NOT get to use our tragedies to promote bigotry.” The people who usually say LGBTQ+ lives are “propaganda” or “ideology” now seek to weaponise homo/transphobic violence to cultivate racism. It’s painfully gross.

LGBT+ people don't need advice from British right-wingers after the Berlin attac

Queer people reject extremism and bigotry in all its forms, whether that comes from Christian nationalists, tech billionaires, or islamic extremists.

The biggest difficulty for trans rights – the general public seems to believe the new guidance makes it possible to exclude eg trans women from women's services in some circumstances. No. This was the previous position. The current guidance requires their exclusion, always, regardless of context.

"Der Kampf gegen das Patriarchat funktioniert nur in Solidarität. Es ist eine Infamie des Patriarchats, die Interessen von inter und trans Personen gegen die von Frauen auszuspielen." (Prof. Dr. Anna-Katharina Mangold)

Says the man whose party has been attacking LGBTQ people…. The far right have more in common with islamists than they’d care to admit. Meanwhile the VAST MAJORITY of Muslims who aren’t full of violent hate understand what it’s like to be targeted which is why there’s commonality with lgbtq ppl.

Solidarity with all of our queer siblings in Berlin. No-one should be made scared to march in defence of their community, and in celebration of who they truly are. It is more important than ever that we all come together with pride, and look after one another.

To every trans Londoner: this city is yours too. Today we celebrate London Trans+ Pride and reaffirm a simple truth: you should be free to live as yourself, without fear or prejudice. You are loved. You are wanted. You belong here.

🚨 Bridget Phillipson remains as the Minister for Women and Equalities After FWS Phillipson publicly stated that trans women should use men's toilets. She recently signed into force harmful & discriminatory statutory guidance which will devastate trans lives. Suggests no change re. trans rights.

It's just one long stream of BS from these fossil fuel-backed clowns. Adopting their policies would destroy a million jobs (see next post) while creating almost none in return. Total environmental and social vandalism. The absolute state of "conservatism". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Telegraph headiline:

"Heatwave hysterics wouldn't have lasted a day in 1976", overlaid with a bold “MONK DEBUNKED” stamp.
