Tomorrow is a day of shame in the UK. A day that will go down in queer history. Trans Exclusion Day. When the government says discriminating against a vulnerable group is absolutely fine. Disgusting. Never forget. Never forgive.

The Times, one of the leading voices when it comes to 'protecting women and girls' calling a man who assaulted his young pregnant girlfriend, said he would rape the kids if he was a teacher and called for child sex abuse porn to be legal, 'brilliant'

1. Amnesty International has withstood threats from death squads and dictators. But it could not stand up to JK Rowling and the anti-trans movement she finances. It has apologized for calling those groups "anti-rights" after legal threats. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I did everything they asked, played nicely, played their games. - Fought for a GP referral to GIC - Waited 16 months for a GIC appointment - Answered the invasive questions - Took their homeopathic doses of HRT - Saved the NHS money by having private SRS - Took statutory declarations 1/8

This is yet another hideous indignity forced on trans people by the Labour Party. I will never ever forgive them as long as I live. They are an absolute cesspit of transphobic bigotry and are destroying trans people’s lives
