JK Rowling pledges to keep up fight against SNP trans policies Author vows to bankroll campaigners after Scottish government fails to pay group's legal fees in Supreme Court equality case

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life.

And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

We gays grew up hearing politicians claim that gay people having kids was “against nature,” “social engineering,” “grooming,” “ideology,” etc. Now this rhetoric is recycled to degrade trans lives. This is why the fight against transphobia is also a fight against homophobia. Bigots will trash us all.

I think this is the right thing to do - glad I bought Queer As Folklore now ❤️

Starmer says trans bans must be implemented 'as soon as possible' Keir Starmer has ordered that public bodies to enforce the Supreme Court's controversial gender ruling "as soon as possible".

What a sad pathetic man who stands for absolutely nothing. An empty vessel rattling noisily for whatever lobby is closest to power and gets to drop their mean spirited bigotry into him first

A beloved San Francisco drag queen was found dead in London over two years ago and the British police have done fuck all since. But a couple of performers at a festival in Somerset step out of line and decry a genocide, it’s all hands on deck

Watch Four Mothers - BFI Player Hilarious, uplifting tale of an Irish son juggling four very different mothers over one chaotic weekend in Dublin.

Four Mothers is a lovely heartwarming watch - just dropped on BFI Player player.bfi.org.uk/subscription...

Whoever came up with this deserves a raise

Do me a favour and let them know it's me? 🥰

J.K. Rowling uses 'Harry Potter' wealth to fund anti-transgender organization

J.K. Rowling is using her wealth attained from the "Harry Potter" series to create an organization dedicated to removing transgender people's rights "in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.”

This is quite something - massive respect to Kate Nash for putting this out into the world. Give it a listen.

Fingers holding a small card which reads ‘trans lives are more important than Harry Potter’. Note: image saved from somebody else’s post. I was going to reshare her post but she’d disabled that function.

Or more succinctly…

Keep J K Rowling out of Ireland

Money that JKR earns from Harry Potter is used to fund legal actions designed to reduce trans women’s rights, e.g. in the workplace.
The harms from this will affect all trans communities.
Personally, I will do what I can to not line her purse further.

Hard relate!

Once again, the best time to cancel your Labour membership was years ago. The second best time is now.

They keep talking about role models for young men well here you go: A MAN

No one who cares about wildlife and ecosystems is now likely to vote Labour in 2029.
Or about Gaza.
Or poverty.
Or inequality.
Or international aid.
Or corporate power.
Or democratic reform.
Or racism.
Or trans rights.
So that's goodbye to just about its entire vote.
What are they playing at?

What an absolutely revolting disappointment the UK Labour Party have turned out to be. Sacrificing everything - everything - to chase a chimaeric single digit percentage of Reform voters who are never going to vote for them anyway. Pathetic.

I am proud to be a signatory to this letter speaking out in support of our trans siblings in the face of the current appalling assault on their rights and safety. If you are a feminist academic or educator please do read, share and consider signing. #transrightsarehumanrights #CisWithTheT

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

Brilliant 👏👏

Reminder to cis journalists, editors, podcasters, etc: actually ask trans people to write and speak about the Supreme Court ruling and EHRC update.

Half of you don’t know the difference between a trans man and a trans woman. Your opinion isn’t needed. Ours is.

There’s a by-election in #Lambeth this Thursday, 1st May in #HerneHill & #LoughboroughJunction. If you live in this ward, use your vote wisely & vote Paul Valentine @lambethgreenparty.bsky.social He is the ONLY candidate that can beat #Labour, who are taking you for granted. Let’s #GetGreensElected

Anti-trans people asking "what rights don't trans people have?" is identical to the argument that gay people have always had the right to marry (just not each other).

"Wheelchair users have the right to access that building just like anyone else" - if they make it up the stairs!

I don’t like the language here because trans men are not “biologically female” (they’re not, that’s just a fact, take it up with a biologist if you must) but the point she’s making stands and it’s amazing to see the realisation dawning on yer man
