@robinince.bsky.social It has been a difficult weekend knowing that a trans ally like you has had to stop doing something you love because you are simply kind. Thank you for going loudly. I hope the BBC are ashamed.
Now, will someone please stop the Earth? I want to get off.

So I’m not biological? What am I then, Baroness Faulkner?

Worrying that a party that claims to be supportive of trans and non-binary people creates an unnecessary rule for elections that directly harms trans people. We are seeing a rollback on human rights that starts with trans people and refugees and ends with everyone. Reform are not the only threat.

Big Thinking Publishing is about to release The Leaves Still Fallow - an anthology of queer love stories, poems, and essays created entirely for trans charities. Every contributor has donated their work, and 100% of profits will go directly to TransActual and Mermaids UK.

Kacey will bring much needed accountability and a voice for equity and equality as Deputy General Secretary. If we truly want a progressive union that fights for everyone without favourites or favour, we need everyone to vote for Kacey for DGS.

the arguments of trans people: *thousands of words about how I'm a human being and deserve equal rights and to not live under oppressive conditions*

The arguments of transphobes: I just don't like em

liberals on bluesky: have you tried being more convincing, trans people?

Attacking trans rights isn’t feminism

So, the @goodlawproject.bsky.social will have their case heard in November and the EHRC is already saying that it isn’t really happening. The RSHE 26 guidance hits schools in July and the PSHE Association say what a good thing it is without recognising that it is Section 28v2.

The first section 28 was an assault on the front lines and a noisy attack. Thatcher was proud of Section 28 and shouted it from the rooftops whereas this government have made 28v2 happen in such an underhand way that it’s just quietly killing us in our sleep.

And some of us have to teach once again in an atmosphere designed to erase us.
What worries me most about this is how cishet folks, even allies, will not see this for what it is.

Fantastic work @unison.org.uk trans delegates.

This year’s pride must be a protest.

We are disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised, to hear that Wes Streeting has met with and sympathised with the Bayswater Group as well as a number of other groups advocating for anti-LGBTQIA+ conversion practices. We are disturbed by the fact that Wes Streeting and the UK Labour government have no intention of working positively or in good faith with any LGBTQIA+ groups; instead they choose to do the opposite. It has been shown numerous times how the Bayswater Group have caused harm. As we have previously seen, via their work with Miriam Cates and the Conservative Government, they have worked to block any Conversion Practices ban.

It has been reported that trans young people met with Streeting, begging and pleading for there not to be a ban on puberty blockers but Streeting's actions have since proven his sympathies are with those seeking to cause us harm. Whilst the UK Labour Government continues to work with these anti-trans hate groups, we have no faith that there will be a UK-wide trans-inclusive Conversion Practices Ban. This follows on from Wes Streeting's work continuing the Conservatives' ban on puberty blockers, as well as his continued push to implement the fatally flawed Cass Review: a review which is also heavily influenced by groups advocating for conversion practices against queer people, and has been shown to ignore young trans people's voices. Clearly, these are actions which both Cass and Streeting have in common. Therefore, we call on Wes Streeting to resign immediately as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.

Without new money from the government, thousands of schools will be forced to make cuts as costs rise. This isn't good enough.

Well, there’s a surprise. 😳

EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s Day One Executive Order on ‘Male and Female’ The White House strikes out at gender ideology and pronouns. Also: ends housing of biological men in women’s prisons; self-ID on passports; and more.

Not the news I want to wake up to…

Big love to US TNB siblings right now. It’s hard being trans or nonbinary in the UK but this is just terrifying.

Could someone please stop the world turning? I want to get off.

David Lynch. Genius.

Rather than deal with issues affecting schools and pupils every day, Labour has reached for a response straight from the Conservatives' playbook. There is still time to do the right thing. If they truly wanted to 'put pupils' interests first', they would invest in our schools.

New year, new government, schools still burdened with the same old problems...

Our message to the government is clear: do the right thing. Schools can't make more 'efficiencies'. Fully fund fair pay now.

If nothing changes, our indicative ballot opens on 1 March.
