Oh FFS.

So delighted and excited - this is fantastic news from and for the Church in Wales.

A sign in the background says New Hope church, God says homosexuality is in. In the foreground there are two men smiling holding the letter s that they've taken from the sign

Happy pride month ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

If you are a cis woman who supports trans folk, please consider signing this. Thank you.

I was momentarily baffled as to how and then my mind kindly supplied a series of highly amusing and very unlikely scenarios. 😆. I’m almost disappointed I applied it in such a pedestrian way today…

So fantastic!

Thank you so much - perfectly put.

😆

For once, watching Parliament was a cathartic exercise. There were some who were strong supporters, but also others who expressed allyship.

Really? Failed again... 🙁

Sorry for being really dim: but what is the rationale some people have for wanting to knock down all statues? Seems drastic given how amazing so many of them are.

🙁 it’s just so unbelievable. Oh for the days where people were kind towards trans folk. And wanted to try to do supportive things. Thank you for trying.

Thank you for responding, it is appreciated. It’s so frustrating that no sporting body has the confidence that they might win one of these cases and so it’s worth trying…

Pool banned us last week and apparently snooker are considering their options at the moment… because there is a clear advantage for transwomen…

I think we know don't we. 🙁

"the alternative is worse"? The alternative is the same.

Thank you to you and to all who have signed. Your solidarity and support is really appreciated right now.

THANK YOU @urc.org.uk for this response to the UK Supreme Court ruling:
'we lament [the] negative impact on the lives of trans, intersex, non-binary/gender non-conforming people who already experience significant marginalisation and misunderstanding within our society' bit.ly/SupremeCourtURC0425

Thank you so much -- it really does mean so much. I for one am grateful.

Thank you for sharing your experience, that's heartbreaking as was this article to read. You are both right, trans people aren't looking to be singled out, especially when everyone else can't even get care. But when we get prioritised or receive unwanted 'special treatment', it'll be our fault too.

Doing ok - lots of kind friends around who have helped, but I've been surprised at how hard I've found it, normally much more robust. Praying things change back quickly. Thank you for asking.

To be fair, it is a very fantastic collection! 😊

Thank you to all the writers and authors who signed this document of support. Include one of my absolute favourites, @sirbenfro.bsky.social, whose crime books are brilliant too and should be read by everyone.

Such an amazing organisation - and so many people joining us today! #SuperSunday

About half-way through and absolutely bloody loving it. Honestly, every 5 minute break I get, it's being switched back on (Audible). Torn between wanting to finish it and not wanting it to end.

I would not be able to resist. I wish I had your self-control...!

I’m so proud of my trans daughter for coming out in this intolerant climate | Letter Letter: Shakespeare wrote: ‘This above all, to thine own self be true.’ Having the courage to do that when transphobia is rife is worthy of love and respect, writes Rachael Stevenson

“Transphobia is rife now, in the same way that homophobia was 20 years ago. It seems that the parallels with that situation are now ignored, as again our society finds ways to “other” people for being different”
