The BBC must stop attacking trans people | Good Law Project The right wing accusations of ‘pro-trans’ bias are back to front. It’s time for the BBC to live up to its duty to be impartial on trans issues.

The BBC, quite consciously, sets out to demean and belittle trans people. This is both morally contemptible and in breach of its Charter obligations. We've made it super easy for you to write to the BBC and tell it to stop.

‘People just lie’: How Riverford’s Guy Singh-Watson became the most brutally honest farmer in Britain The organic veg pioneer talks to the Guardian about being unemployable, his unconventional father and his recent autism diagnosis

Not many farmers would tell you that we need to eat less meat; that wealthy landowners shouldn’t moan about inheritance tax but should “pay the whole fucking lot”; & that Reform UK are “a load of rich rightwing toffs” 😂

Graphic designed to look like a letter. It is surrounded by stickers of little colourful blob people. It says "Dear The Times, You didn’t ask us directly but yes, we love stickers, everyone loves stickers. You and those you quoted say they’re juvenile, we say they’re fun! No, they’re not propaganda. No, they don’t have an ideology, don’t be silly. Yes, we celebrate Queer Joy, daily if we can - as we all should in our community! Yes, we sell these to fundraise for our crucial campaigns work. No, we don’t use our government funding to make stickers. When we make and sell things like this it helps us raise more unrestricted funds, the only funds we use in our campaigning. No, YOU can’t have any. But everyone else can! Signed, Equality Network PS. These stickers celebrate joy, happiness, and the community. Get your outrageous joyful stickers, and other bits, here!"

You may have seen a piece in @thetimes.com which said that our gorgeous new Queer Joy sticker packs were "propaganda" to push an ideology. They aren't - they're stickers!
