A blue and purple square graphic with text in black that reads "When any pupil goes to school, they should be able to do so safely, have appropriate toilets and changing rooms they can use, and be listened to and have their identity respected. Changes made yesterday by the Scottish Government to their guidance on supporting transgender pupils in schools will make this much harder for trans children and young people than it was before.

Fantastic from @sianberry.bsky.social!

“I believe the proposed guidance from the EHRC is currently not fit for purpose, and not suitable to be placed before MPs at all.”

Keep writing to your MPs, folk—it’s working!

Ok. They’ve pissed me off.

I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:

1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Four arrested after photo of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle Arrests come as Trump lands in UK for landmark second state visit

UK Law 101 for trans people...

Projecting already widely-published images of #Trump with Geoffrey #Epstein on Windsor Castle is "malicious communications"

Advocating violence against trans women is not a "malicious communication".

That British Sense Of Fair Play in action.

This is important, imo. The draft code doesn't state that trans exclusion is mandatory. It just keeps saying trans exclusion is lawful while avoiding talking about inclusion as lawful. Stuff in the papers suggesting otherwise is mostly just trying to create a perception of a law that doesn't exist.

Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police.

Thank you, Wes Streeting.
