They, Them Still trying to accept senior citizen status. Still struggling Still trying to understand my gender fluidity. Love the beauty of our world. Love everything we share it with. Love smiles. Trying to live my best life by the river.
History will remember we banned Palestine Action for putting graffiti on planes.
But never stopped supplying Israel with bombs to drop on children.
If Alice had died when she first attempted suicide this would have been her story. We would not have known her as Alice nor remembered her as Alice.
We must build a safe world where trans+ people are free to be themselves without prejudice.

Photo montage of Alice. In the garden in her blue puffer jacket and pink bobble hat. Out on a walk with me in the same outfit. We’re standing side by side leaning into each other for the photo. As an infant with her Dad. Alice is beaming into the camera, at me, and Peter is looking at her in his arms beaming at her. Alice in her charity shop flying jacket that she wore all the time, drinking a gin and tonic from a large goblet glass.One of the last photos we have of her. Alice posing for a photo for her school year book. In cute rose tinted sunglasses, her baggy pink sweatshirt and the dark green dungarees she pinched off me.
Today is Trans Day of Remembrance.
Sending love and solidarity to all trans+ people and those who have lost a trans+ loved one through violence or state oppression and neglect.
And a special thought for those who will have taken their lives without ever disclosing their trans identity.
Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz doesn't deny Israel’s abuses or framing its genocidal atrocities as the problem, but people obtaining information & moral clarity about those abuses is
The atrocities aren’t wrong, what’s wrong is people seeing those atrocities & calling them what they are

Starmer’s Labour is the architecture of betrayal, stripping away progressive ideals & weaponising policy to entrench elite dominance & global complicity in suffering

*superb* bit of evidence gathering & analysis showing the only people complaining about trans people using the loo are the bigots complaining about trans people existing.
It's just so bloody obvious.
Why won't they do it?
Because they are all bought and paid for.
They must go now.
This is how Rachel Reeves could deliver a progressive budget.
Billions available without increasing the rate of income tax, National Insurance or corporation tax.
Just end some of the perks for a select few, anomalies and abuses. Redistribute to alleviate poverty, better infrastructure.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.
Farage and Gill
Farage & Gill
Poor Nigel Farage.
Just when he wants to pretend Reform is patriotic, his colleague & party member Nathan Gill is convicted of taking bribes to be a Russian shill.
Now яeform will always be the treasonous Putin Party.
So please don’t share these photos far & wide, he would REALLY hate that.
The sad thing is Gill could have avoided prison by taking a more respectable path—accepting bribes from Israel
If Gill had taken £40,000 from a generous Israeli who wanted nothing in return, he could have avoided prison by repeating the phrase “Israel has a right to defend itself” five times a day
It’s kinda awkward that the BBC has spent the last decade boosting Nigel Farage, isn’t it?
The Reform leader has expressed his admiration for Putin and been photographed with the wife of the oligarch who was bribing Gill
I’m sure this is just a coincidence though…
Imagine, if you can, a parent whose love was not up to the task of saving their child from the environment Wes Streeting has created for young trans people. Imagine the effect on that bereaved parent of a coroner who saw that tragedy as a stage on which to perform their own prejudice.

It includes the transcript of my Trans Day of Remembrance speech, if you'd like to read it, given at the @notaphaseorg.bsky.social Soho Square vigil.
It was such a privilege to be asked and I hope I spoke well.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social please can we get as many Green Party members to sign this petition by Richard Burgon, a Labour Party MP? Imagine Starmer’s embarrassment at having a petition against his party organised by his own MP.

Can @zackpolanski.bsky.social please explain why he has not yet met with the parents of the Sussex ICB scandal? The children are being tortured by NHSE. Please explain why this issue is not a matter of urgency? They have been trying for weeks now and you still have not responded.
Please share.
Magnificent.
Thank you for posting.

Labour is TOP DOWN our enemy.
This tells you whose side Labour are on.
TLDR: its not yours.
Today we remember and honour all those who have lost their lives to transphobic discrimination and violence.
GMB will continue to challenge transphobia in all its forms and remain resolute:
Trans rights are human rights 🏳️⚧️

Golden passports are being extended, while those migrants necessary to prop up failing services and institutions are belittled and those fleeing war, terror and torture are demonised.
