"The women who changed the system so I could be here"
@greenpartyhan.bsky.social pays homage to women who fought for change in her maiden speech during the International Women's Day debate.
![And my constituency has been hit hard by the ongoing cost of living crisis.
And now none of this is fair, none of this is right, and none if it happens by accident.
So I very much share my predecessor’s strong commitment to tackling health inequalities and putting local people and all our communities at the heart of decision making. That’s how we begin to turn things around, to give people agency, and a genuine chance of a better today and a better tomorrow.
And to the girls who I saw photos of [sorry], who went to school on International Women's Day dressed as ‘Hannah the plumber’ in their overalls, spanners, and trademark hair. To the 10 year old boy at Hideout who rockclimbed an incredibly high wall with me and who saw me suddenly become very terrified of how far up I was, and who said to me ‘don’t ever give up, and if it's scary looking down then just look at what's in front of you’.
To the women in my life who’ve had my back, who've fought for equality alongside me.
And to the men that I work with (especially the lads on my plastering course who dealt with my new found spotlight in the middle of our training very well), but those men who will suffer the effects of this unequal society through their mental health.
To the veterans I know who were willing to risk everything and come home and find that society was turning its back on them.
To the white working classes, who are always lumped into one group and never appreciated.
To everyone who will have nowhere to sleep tonight, or will barely exist in a cold, damp and insecure home.
To my Trans siblings who get blamed for everything.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fondzonhxhlrfp777gwvfmah/bafkreid3ms7q5wr4cfeipwgiarn4vuvcxh2brishmn6hdbcuflak67djsa)
"Together, we can make hope normal again. And we will look after each other, whoever we are. Because where I'm from, that is just what we do."
New Green MP Hannah Spencer has made he first speech to the Commons today, and the transcript is well worth a read.
Labour are the most anti LGBT government for decades and have caused an immense amount of harm to trans people and introduced so many transphobic policies
“b-but hypnoboobs!”. Some people need to get a grip
"It’s particularly horrendous to me when you have someone from within our own community who demonises a minority group. I don’t know what’s going on in Wes Streeting’s head, but what I do know is it’s terrifying for trans people,” he said.

The gender crits just care about women's rights. That's why they spent their money and their Wednesday evening turning up to a trans solidarity concert, and then posted about it. Very normal!
it’s my favourite album of hers and period is probably second (the general public will hate me(
so exited to see kesha live on saturday omgggg
Trans rights are human rights.
Thank you, Wembley.

Like I've seen a full on Labour supporter who's like "yeah it's bad I guess" and thinks that saying that a few times gets them to claim they're a trans ally, like lol
A lot of people claim to be trans allies but don't do anything beyond vague platitudes.
Like, do they educate themselves? Do they call out transphobia and cut off transphobes? Do they do ANYTHING except pat themselves on the back for how good they are, and rub it in your face? Nope.
🚨 WATCH: Labour MP Charlotte Nichols reveals she was raped as an MP as she opposes the jury trial reforms
"I waited 1,088 days to go to court. We've been told [by the Government] that if we have concerns about this Bill, it's because we've not been raped"
An effective ban before the end of the year is highly likely. They won't call it a ban. They'll limit private prescribing by citing safety concerns and then rely on the 25 year waitlists for adult care to effectively make formal access impossible. It'll make legal challenges harder.
The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.
1/🧵 I am reviewing NHS England’s “evidence” papers supporting their ban of GHAT for 16- and 17-year-olds.
It’s hard not to see this as a deliberate and malicious attempt to manipulate the evidence base. Most notably, the scope is restricted to monotherapy or GnRH analogues.
And if I said this is one of my favourite Kesha songs?

I just wish labour would fuck off now, its not even been 2 years and im exhausted by the continuous flow of heinous shit from them. They make Teresa May look compassionate, competent, and normal in comparison. That shouldn't be possible for someone who is basically human shelob but they've done it.
Wes Streeting isn’t doing this for the Reform vote he’s doing it because he’s a deeply revolting right-wing piece of shit and questions should be asked about the role of his religion in it if we want to be real
Labour are a vile disgusting party that deserves nothing less than totally dying as a party.
And ideally ministers like Phillipson, Streeting and so on would be in prison for all the harm they’ve done to trans people. I hate them so much.
There are two things you can do right now to support young trans people in England.
1) Engage in political advocacy and community support. I've got *loads* of advice on this in my blog post and zine "But what can I do? How to fight the trans panic".
Today's ban on NHS HRT for under 18s formalises a policy that has already been in place - Noone under 18 has received a new prescription for HRT since mid 2024 (I don't know of any since late 2023).
Of course this policy also raises the risk of similar action on private healthcare for under 18s.
Making conversion therapy the official NHS policy for trans youth
these 'reviews' are being conducted by transphobes with pre-determined outcomes.
labour are murdering these children by denying them life-saving care.
@lucympowell.bsky.social and belong in prison.
this stuff is an actual scandal that will eventual break in like 10 years time.
How are you enjoying the game? It's one of my favourites in a long time, I love it
I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.
If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.
There is “no evidence that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is overdiagnosed in the UK” and the condition could even be “underdiagnosed”, a team of experts has said

lol. More chance of me getting struck my lightning
We've just learned that the person at the MHRA whose letter caused Wes 'I follow the clinical evidence' Streeting to cancel the puberty blockers trial is Professor Jacob George, the GC who enjoyed mocking trans people on his social media account.
Why did Wes Streeting cover up his name?
Pokemon Pokopia is SO GOOD I want to play more even though I have a thesis to write and I have to go to a musical tonight (I want to, I just want to play more)
