This is so true.

This Thursday I am leading a debate in Parliament on #LesbianVisibilityWeek 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It's vital that we uplift & celebrate the diversity of lesbians & LGBTQ+ women whilst continuing to fight for equality ✊

Except Maya, this rather weak paper doesn’t say that at all. But you go with The times spin honey. Actual paper is here (no paywall): journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

Today, ‘journalists’, famous children’s authors and the so called ‘free speech union’ are celebrating their attacks on the UKs largest LGBTQ+ charity.

Apparently the Cass report justifies an end to LGBTQ+ charities and support for LGBTQ+ folks.

The UK in 2024 peeps.

The Rwanda Act shames us all.

Given the things Suzanne Moore now says about trans people being a cult, it's really quite remarkably strange she never mentioned this to me or the other trans people with whom she used to socialize on friendly terms.

Same with Mary Harrington. And Helen Lewis.

This anti-trans activist joined her workplace LGBTQIA (called that) support group, expressed her ATA views and is surprised the group members complained 🙄 Not silenced, just angry at not bringing allowed to be disrespectful and disruptive.

Hilariously Barry Wall wants Manchester to *checks notes* cancel Pride. Do you know how much money pride brings in? There's a reason it's promoted and funded by business organisations!

We must ban this sicknote culture. These parasites are destroying Whitehall and the NHS.

Trying to find the full text of Sunak’s sicknote speech. Doesn’t seem to be on No 10 website, just the press release. Perhaps they are embarrassed about it too. A billionaire PM whose party has corrupted politics and rewarded cronies and crooks tries to blame the sick and those

FFS.

Mackereth v DWP already tells us that a policy requiring the use of chosen pronouns, although it may be indirectly discriminatory, is lawful.

Would therefore LOVE to know how the opinion was reached that a similar policy in schools would be unlawful.

Oh so this is getting better. You cant threaten legal action on behalf of someone else on the basis of a belief they don't hold. So who exactly is going to apply for the legal action and on what basis?
