Protest details:

Parliament Square This Saturday 1pm

Meeting Point: Boadicea and Her Daughters Statue

We need a huge turnout to show that we will not stand by while rights are taken from our family.

Reach out to everyone you know. Bring signs, energy, and most importantly, bring your voice.

Petition: Allow transgender people to self-identify their legal gender. We believe the government should change legislation to make it easier for trans people of all ages to change their legal gender without an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

The petition

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.

We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?

Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

Thanks will look into them

I use a kindle, mainly for convenience. But also not knowing the alternatives and how they work. I don't like giving my money to Amazon.

So, can anyone give me any info on alternatives please?

Devices and ebooks and where to buy? Functionality of devices, pros/cons?

Thanks

The image of autism as “only white boys” leads to underdiagnosis, discrimination & isolation for many

Our autistic community is much more diverse than that! ❤️
