The government’s transphobic statutory guidance is now in force, telling organisations that provide services they can no longer be trans inclusive. This will have a devastating impact on the everyday lives of trans people. So we’re backing a legal challenge against it: https://goodlaw.social/pmbo

The net result of the single sex space ruling will be fewer female toilets. It's up to businesses to enforce and to avoid headaches/arguments with vigilante trans hostile customers they'll just make all their loos unisex. Slow hand clap for the gender critical ‘feminists’.

Just had my first illegal pee. Walked past a bunch of other women in the loo who did…absolutely nothing. What? Am I a ghost or something 👻? I was a little worried a terf might slide under the door on one of those wheeled tray things mechanics use to check underneath cars - but didn’t happen. Phew.

The UK Employment Appeal Tribunal ruled that anti-Zionism qualifies as a protected philosophical belief under the Equality Act 2010, upholding an earlier ruling that the University of Bristol unlawfully discriminated against former professor David Miller by dismissing him.

ARRESTS FOR CLAPPING & STANDING ON STREET. London’s Metropolitan Police arrested 117 people during a protest outside Westminster Magistrates’ Court against the ban on Palestine Action, as campaigners said some of those detained had neither voiced nor displayed support for the group.

Popping on to Bluesky to say thanks to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for his comments today on #LBC re the UK’s shameful trans apartheid laws 💚🏳️‍⚧️. Inevitably it’s triggered the plethora of anti trans people fronts disguised as “women’s rights” groups that suddenly sprouted in the UK from 2017.

I can’t believe we’re still having a debate about whether there’s a trade off between job creation and measures to green the economy. There isn’t. The evidence was clear years ago - a green economy creates far more jobs than the fossil fuel economy it replaces. Come on Labour, catch up …

Good morning Bluesky ☀️ My grandad told me he saw the Titanic - from the outset he warned all the people that the ship would sink, but nobody listened to him. He knew he was right and didn't give up. He warned them again & again, until eventually they kicked him out of the cinema.

I fear we might see a new alignment between a radical right death cult and a rural revivalist "simplicity" drive, which views collapse and a return to "organic" communities as a solution to decadent urbanism. A century ago this convergence led to a very bad place. www.monbiot.com/2023/10/04/t...

So Badenoch would recruit a neo-Nazi but *not* someone who didn’t want to leave the ECHR or someone who supported our NetZero commitments. Second chances for this guy but not Dominic Grieve. The Tory party is truly wretched. It’s screwed the country, betrayed its own and lost its tiny mind.

While we sit back and “trust in the process” as Keir Starmer once said, things will continue to get worse.
