Haven't you and your party stabbed trans people in the back repeatedly?

Labour shelves plans to make it easier for people to legally change gender Ministers mothball promised reforms to simplify the process amid fears over rise of Reform UK

Labour have thrown trans people under a bus, this time decisively.

Why? Because of Nigel Farage's Reform UK.

And this explains the triumph of transphobia in certain countries: it's a byproduct of the rise of right-wing radicalism.

If I had one wish, it would be the death penalty for people who are loud on public transport.

No Labour MP or activist should be allowed near an LGBT+ event again. They need to be treated the exact same way Tories are treated until they fix their shit heap of a party.

So under-18s, who are cis are still proscribed puberty blockers?

This policy isn't based on facts but just transphobia.

Police investigating Labour's Edinburgh council leader Cammy Day Scottish Labour confirmed Cammy Day has been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.

All the Labour people criticising the Lib Dems for their shenanigans on the Edinburgh council have gone quiet on this...

A tweet shared by Edinburgh North and Leith MP Tracy Gilbert with the transphobic dogwhistle "#WeKnowWhatAWomanIs"

A tweet shared by Edinburgh North and Leith MP Tracy Gilbert with the transphobic dogwhistle "#WeKnowWhatAWomanIs"

A Labour MP reposting stuff like this with blatantly transphobic dogwhistles is about as clear as their transphobia comes.

Pretty gross considering Tracy Gilbert's constituency (Edinburgh North and Leith) has the largest number of queer people in Scotland.

How many of them have stood up to Streeting about his transphobia?

None, because you're spineless cowards.

At least one MP in that picture (Tracy Gilbert) has spoken against a conversion therapy ban and few support trans rights.

It doesn't really matter how many LGBT MPs there are, if none will actually support our community.

A profile with 81,500 followers that is impersonating after Mark Hamill. It uses the same photo he uses as his profile picture on Twitter where he is pulling a green sweater over his face. On his profile is a label that says impersonation that has been placed by the blue sky team

This is NOT Mark Hamill

The account has been marked as ✨impersonation✨ by the Bluesky team as you can see below.

This is his handle if you'd like to unfollow. Big accounts like this can flip to promote anything they want now that they've stolen attention & clout.

Honestly, I'm surprised the Greens did this mediocrely, they really seemed to be going after this ward.

Plus, Reform did way better than it should make people feel comfortable.

Either way come 2026, the SNP are losing one of there two seats here to Greens or Reform.

The culture here makes it possible.

After Jan 6th I privately confronted Mace for lying about my story bc she too was terrified in her office.

I said as another assault survivor you know how harmful what you did is. Why? She said β€œwhatever you know it’s a game, just points on the board”

Uhh no???

Genuinely think Soul Silver is the best pokemon game period.

The only issue is that it didn't change how many Johto pokemon aren't available till the post-game
