Quite the reflection on the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of sex in the EA by @rebeccadonkennedy.bsky.social / @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social & @scottishtrans.bsky.social in this months Somewhere For Us.

Four day week made permanent at council / 100% successful rate in latest 4-day week pilot.

Just to clear up any confusion:

Our latest pilot programme in the PRIVATE sector was 100% successful.

A council in the PUBLIC sector made their 4-day week permanent last week.

"The EHRC proposed updates to their Code of Practice following the Supreme Court judgment - they all focus on how trans people can be excluded from services This would have huge negative impacts on trans people's human rights and daily lives. The consultation on the Code of Practice has now closed, but you can still make a difference. The Minister for Equalities has to approve the Code – so we need everyone who can to email her and their MP to tell them why it won’t work: scottishtrans.org/emailfortransinclusion". The Scottish Trans logo is in the bottom right.

There’s never been a more important time to tell your MP and the UK Minister for Equalities why it’s essential that trans people can still be included in everyday services. Use our tool and get in touch in 2 minutes: www.scottishtrans.org/emailfortran... 🏳️‍⚧️

Thanks for finding my outfit for Trumps visit. Now I just need to make a Janey Godley sign to go with it…

Met him at Nardini’s and n Largs, sitting outside having an ice cream. He signed the back of a Woolworths receipt for me.

🟢 Improve public services
🟢 Lower household bills

It's time to put people and planet before profit

'Sir Stephen Fry has become the latest Harry Potter alumnus to turn his back on author JK Rowling, accusing her of being “radicalised” and calling her views on transgender people “cruel” and “mocking”.'

Stephen Fry does a U-turn.
