I loved your talk and meeting you. I hope all goes well in Edinburgh, and I see you’re in Newcastle/ Jesmond soon.
I gave a talk yesterday - it’s so good to have the opportunity to tell our own stories.

every trans person I've spoken to is feeling the Drag Down right now. not everybody has fallen into despair but we're all feeling it creeping in around the edges, doing our best to fight it. things are bad. if you know a trans person, look after them.

#MorningPrayer
Lord, give us
the joy and peace
of knowing our
identity and value
in your eyes.
Keep us from the temptation
to seek our value
only in the eyes of others,
or in competition with others.
May we find peace in your love,
and share it with all,
especially those in need.

Is that Tynemouth / St George’s Cullercoats?

#MorningPrayer
Inspire us, Lord,
in our appreciation
of all that blesses us,
and encourage us
in our sharing
of those blessings
with others;
may we sow
the seeds of your love
joyfully and liberally,
rejoicing always
in our capacity
to share generously
in the work
of your kingdom.

I was doing baptism preparation with a family yesterday. Baby states crying in his buggy. Mum put some white noise on her phone to calm him … then dropped her phone on his head 🤣

Sorry! Mea culpa! I’ve come home for a break …

So glad you enjoyed it x

‘The Other’ - #RSThomas

The government's welfare Bill is a cruel and disgusting attack on disabled people and their right to live in dignity.

MPs should ask themselves: did you become an MP so you could push thousands of disabled people into poverty?

#MorningPrayer
You command us
and call us, Lord,
to celebrate the sacrament
of your body and blood,
to find our shared
communion with you,
that we may be
nourished and nurtured
in your risen life,
enabled to become what we eat;
your body in the world,
revealing your love to all.

Wow! That looks great 😊

Oh that’s beautiful!

Durham will always be one of my favourite Cathedrals…

Is The Hoppings earlier than normal? I thought the Shiremoor Treat always coincided with my birthday …

Actually, this would be ok .:. Getting a passport in your new name and gender is so much easier than getting a GRC…. But are we really going to expect everyone using a public toilet to present a passport…?

I guess it’s going to create lots of new jobs … but I’m totally disgusted at this Labour government. The Tories were less fascist & more Trans-friendly than @KeirStarmer and @labourpartyuk.bsky.social & if trans people will have to show passports to access toilets, then everyone will, as some pass

I think I’d rather be Colin Firth … 🤣

UK has one of the few supposedly left-wing governments around at the moment. Starmer should shining a light to show the whole world the benefits of inclusion, social protection and concern, and his communication people should be relentlessly putting out stories of achievement. Instead ....

I think I’m pretty stable. I made a couple of smallish mistakes, when I responded to unkind and very hurtful emails in the early days of my transitioning, but overall I’m pretty stable, happy, resilient, strong and courageous… and holding down a position of responsibility whilst transitioning…

It would be welcome to see one or two episcopal signatures added to this letter …

Gosh it looks terrifying …. I’m scared of heights … or K was … maybe I’ll do better. I’m strong and courageous… but it still looks scary! Glad you stayed grounded.

Warning from historians over government's treatment of trans people Over 350 historians and academics have urged the government to turn back on its growing attacks on trans rights in the UK.

Historians for Trans Rights open letter makes it into @pinknews.bsky.social!

I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the essential contributions of @benmechen.bsky.social @krheyam.bsky.social @carolinepennock.bsky.social and @echomikeromeo.bsky.social in drafting it
