Write to Stonewall.
• Tell them you supported them in the past.
• Tell them why you won’t be supporting transphobia.
Cut direct debts.
Don’t by the merch.
Tell your direct contacts.

I used an app on my phone, but its kind of ingrained in me after a year.
I find them itchy and my skin goes red sometimes.
Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙
Given Stonewalls capitulation to hate & trans genocide in the UK, any donations you might have sent their way would be better off used by @transsolidarity.bsky.social or @goodlawproject.org in defending trans lives.

Statement made by Bridget Phillipson Secretary of State for Education and Minister for Women and Equalities Labour > Houghton and Sunderland South i Commons Statement This government has always supported the protection of single-sex spaces based on biological sex. The Supreme Court's ruling last year brought clarity for women and service providers such as hospitals and refuges, and made clear that protections for trans people remain in the Equality Act. The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is the independent equality regulator and ensures compliance with the Equality Act 2010. Their Code of Practice on Services, Public Functions and Associations covers all nine protected characteristics and the steps service providers should take to comply with the law. We share the EHRC's commitment to ensuring duty bearers have accurate and up-to-date guidance on the Equality Act 2010 including in the light of the recent Court rulings. We are grateful to the EHRC for their work on the updated draft Code following engagement and further legal analysis. The EHRC is rightly focussed on ensuring the updated Code is robust, accessible and ensures duty bearers can be confident that it is a clear and accurate explanation of the law. The government received the updated draft on 13 April. The Code will apply across Great Britain and as we are currently in the pre-election period for the devolved administrations, we are unable to make further announcements on this matter at this time. However, we are taking urgent action to meet our intention of laying the Code in May and as soon as practicable after the election period, for Parliamentary scrutiny. We are getting it right, showing leadership by implementing the clarity the Supreme Court ruling delivers. By
Quite a few people I had campaign conversations with today have switched to the Greens from Labour! They all specifically cited this statement by @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social.
And yet all but one were cis. Transphobia is costing this government more votes than it thinks.
Sign today. It’s my birthday.
100 000 signatures would be a nice gift.
a trans person telling a doctor their assigned sex at birth is significantly more likely to result in their mistreatment than letting them assume cisness in 95% of cases because the average doctor does not have the care or understanding required about the nuances of trans bodies and how weve changed
According to Karin Smyth MP on LBC this morning, Bridget Phillipson is going to be reading a statement in parliament today regarding the EHRC guidance. Apparently she won’t be presenting it but is ‘keen to lay it before parliament as soon as possible’.
Take care of yourselves my trans siblings.
This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)
LGBT people kicked off the ousting of Orban. That's something I hope makes Starmer dry retch with stress.

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.
Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
RIP Reinhold Wittig, one of the big gaming pioneers in Germany has sadly passed away.
In the 80s he was THE small indie-publisher, who established the "tube cames", i.e. games in a cube here.
Also his artwork of games like Müller&Co is one of the best until today.
Tonight I'm thinking of the many Hungarians I've met over the years - many of them abroad against their wishes, many of them queer - who haven't stopped fighting, for sixteen years. For most of us, Orbán was an on-and-off nuisance on TV - at best. For them, he was a constant nightmare.
ORBÁN CONCEDED

Dear Governments,
Instead of banning kids from social media why not just ban all algorithm lead SM. It’s not just children who are in danger, democracy itself - and probably life on Earth - are being destroyed one recommended post at a time.

Been watching the Integrity/Artemis II splashdown and wanted to recommend the Lady Astronaut book series by @maryrobinettekowal.com - fantastic read if you like space and especially women in space.
Watching them move through a decaying orbit, hit the atmosphere and then deploy the Tunnocks Teacakes is pretty fab
They're really massive. I got my gp to move me to Estradots which really are tiny (about half the size of evorels). But they've had stock issues and I got some Estraderm as a replacement. They're even bigger than evorel! And they seem to have forgotten the glue on them.

introduced us to seven American heroes: the Project Mercury astronauts.
For the famous press photo of the Mercury Seven there weren't enough Space Boots to go round, so two of them are wearing work boots sprayed silver. Have a look.
