Meta shuts down global accounts linked to abortion advice and queer content More than 50 organisations report sites being restricted or removed, with abortion hotlines blocked and posts showing non-explicit nudity triggering warnings

At a time where Labour and other parties are looking to roll back rights of minorities across the board, having a politician sit down, actually listen and take on board how they can advocate for trans and other marginalised communities is so important. The Greens give me so much hope for the future๐Ÿ’š

"Jess Oโ€™Thomson of GLP argued that recent decisions by Girlguiding and the WI to exclude trans women were the result of โ€œlobbying and legal threatsโ€ from groups โ€œpressuring organisations on the basis that the case is closed, and exclusion is now legally required โ€“ when that is far from the caseโ€

Will Labourโ€™s move to limit ECHR deter the far right or alienate progressive voters? Previously sceptical MPs now want to modernise human rights law to prevent an overreach of the law and losing to the far right

UK Labour are pandering to reform and petitioning the ECHR to help deportations by narrowing the definition of โ€˜inhuman and degrading treatmentโ€™. With Labours track record so far on human rights I donโ€™t trust them not to go further. Vote for hope, join the greens ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Trans People Are Under Attack

Across the UK, trans people are facing hostility like never before.

The UN and @Amnesty.org have warned that Britain is backsliding on LGBTQ+ rights, with trans rights under particular threat (@ILGAEurope.bsky.social , 2024).

Shocking but unsurprising to see two Labour MPs in front attempt to shout me down โ€” for standing up for disabled people hit by cuts, kids pushed into poverty by the two-child benefit cap & pensioners who lost winter fuel payments.

I know whose side Iโ€™m on. Can they say the same?

Time's Up, Labour. | Pride In Labour The Labour Party promised a trans-inclusive ban on conversion therapy. Almost a year later, we're still waiting. Time's up.

Today marks 320 days since @teamlabouruk.bsky.social promised a ban on conversion therapy in the King's Speech, and we still don't have a bill. Write to your MP and tell them that time's up. #BanConversionTherapy

It seems wrong that the head of the UK's "independent" EHRC hangs out with anti trans groups, then her organisation puts out discriminatory anti trans guidance ๐Ÿค”

Feels like some sort of investigation or legal action maybe in order ๐Ÿค”

Labour knows this is happening, but has no will to do anything ๐Ÿ˜ก

Fairness? Where? Equality? How? Progress? Definitely not. You have rolled back trans rights more in your first year than in 14 years of conservative rule and completely thrown us under the bus. You could have thrown your support behind us, but now weโ€™re left scared and vulnerable. Do better.

Labour's NEC agreed to develop a code of conduct against transphobia in March 2021, and *still* hasn't finished that work over four years later, but they got a ban on trans women written out in a few weeks.

You can still attend any pride as an individual. If you were real allies you wouldnโ€™t feel the need to wave your political flag for a photo op, youโ€™d go in support of our community regardless. Please understand this, and do better

Once the political parties of the uk start to stand for human rights in a meaningful way again, Iโ€™m sure they will be welcome. But you donโ€™t get to fly the flag and not walk the talk. Lgbtq rights arenโ€™t a photo opportunity. In the meantime allies can attend as individuals instead

The UKSC ruling was an opportunity for the government and the EHRC to step up and commit to affirm the rights of all. They've failed on every measure, choosing to peddle hate and discrimination instead.

We've heard enough: Kishwer Falkner and Bridget Phillipson must resign.
