Seeing a lot of people very worried about a proposed amendment to the Data Bill.

In short, such amendments very rarely succeed without Government support - which this one doesn't have. It may still however create some nasty debate if selected.

But if you're worried, you can write to your MP.

Something i would like folks to understand about the police raid on Westminster Quaker Meeting House. The right wingers thinking its a slam dunk to correct folks about it 'not being a meeting for worship, it was a room hire'
They are wrong, and its ignorance of Quakers, their history and praxis.

Independent review of data, statistics and research on sex and gender An independent review by Professor Alice Sullivan that looks at data, statistics and research on sex and gender.

The UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology has just published Alice Sullivan's Review of Data, Statistics and Research on Sex and Gender, a hangover from the former Tory government's mission to address ‘wokeism in science’. /1 www.gov.uk/government/p...

All this will do is leave innocent kids like Brianna with absolutely no support at all when they are bullied for being trans at school. Ridiculous thing for her to be pushing for when there's so much real stuff to be going for instead

"NHS spends £100m a year on trans treatments"

"not on hormones or surgery though lmao"

so the headline is really "NHS spends 100m a year on being an obstacle to trans people's bodily autonomy."

You should be appalled at how much they are wasting in preventing us from transition! it is sickening!

I am so heartbroken. I got to know Elisa two years ago when she came to me with hundreds of emails of anti-trans legislators scheming around restricting trans rights. I helped get her story told by the New York Times and Washington Post. She deserved so much better.

RIP.

4 frame comics. 1st : some random guy on the street is yelling "I think trans people belong. I'm an ally!". 2nd : we only see Stephie's head from a corner, who replies : "Awesome. Thanks!" 3rd : the guy continues : "I want you to know that I really see you as a girl. you are valid!" 4th : We now see that Stephie is being burned at the stake. She says : "OK. Can you help me out, now?" the guy raises his index in the air and says : "Slay, queen!"

In November I got to live with my best friend while they had top surgery and got to be part of their closest circle of care, which was so deeply and eminently joyful - have written more about it, happy to share
