Queer Socialist. PCS Union member, PCS Proud Secretary.
Proud will not stand silent whilst our members are under attack in wider society, and we hope the General Secretary will address the concerns of LGBT+ members and show in solidarity with LGBT+ members.

I mean what else are you going to do?
Listen to their music?!?!
PCS will fight these attacks on our trans members, and the wider trans community.
If you are feeling affected by this ruling and need support, below are links of organisations that could help.

To all my Trans siblings—you are valid. No ruling, piece of paper, hate, or ignorance should ever make you feel otherwise.
Here are some upcoming events where you can stand up for #Transrights and our hard-fought LGBT+ rights. An injury to one is an injury to all. #lgbt #humanrights #transisvalid
Our position is straight forward - given the threats before us, any union worthy of that name would be preparing to fight. Unfortunately Left Unity have no intention of doing anything but go through the motions of pretending to resist - and we're not even sure of that.

The Wicked Sing-Along version: for when you really want to hold space, but you've only gone and bloody forgotten the lyrics to Defying Gravity!

This year’s theme addresses the disparity between the genders and seeks to accelerate the current trend of progress, which at the current trajectory would take until 2158 to finish.

It's LGBT+ History Month and this years theme, Activism and Social Change, is more important than ever
Social change for equality and fairness will not be achieved through corporations but through our own activism.
Solidarity with my LGBTQIA family & activists who are fighting for a better society

Nice night out going to see Wicked.
Enjoyed holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity and felt power within that.
Unfortunately also had to hold space for the awful Act 2. Maybe the movie can turn it into a cohesive piece of media? We can but hope!
"It would be more accurate to call Cavanagh and Heathcote the LU President and LU General Secretary as they have dropped all pretence of following the rules or working for members; instead they are out-and-out working only for an LU NEC election victory."

RMT members stood on the steps outside Liverpool Lime Street station wearing high-viz jackets and wooly hats whilst holding two RMT branch banners.
Wrapped up warm on the RMT Avanti Train Managers picket line at Liverpool Lime Street.
Avanti should make better use of its resources by reaching a fair rest-day working settlement with our members, which would also be far more cost-effective.
I mean I am mentally ill but it's not because I have sex with men. Hope this helps everyone trying to re-pathologise homosexuality xoxo

In 2022, the TUC LGBT+ Conference passed a motion by 200 votes to one to condemn LGB Alliance & any 'transphobic organisation who are awarded charity status by the Charity Commission. Charity status enables them to be recognised as a force for social good.'
LGB Alliance do not represent us.
