I'm horrified that my youngest who is 18 is not planning to vote on May 7th, the first election he's been eligible to vote in. For his older siblings this was a welcomed right of passage. Any suggestions for good videos about the importance of exercising one's democratic right?

Looking at you @catherinewestmp.bsky.social

My legal case against the Labour Party is the first to test the Supreme Court Judgment FWS v SGM.
Can you help to 'stop the rot' of losing trans rights?

Turns out @depechemode.com was prescient with 'Personal Jesus'!
It is very hard to know what to do, my MP never bothered a replying anymore on any issue
1. Incredible news out of Romania. An appeals court in the country has forced them to recognize the legal gender of a trans man.
It is the first known internal enforcement of a 2024 EU Court ruling.
Romania has ranked last by ILGA on LGBTQ+ rights in EU.

Uplifting to take part in @togetheralliance.bsky.social march with Song Bloc (I'm sitting on the grass at the front of the photo in a red coat) but I had to write to Together Alliance to ask why they let Filia march. They aren't truly antifascist if they let fascist trans exclusionary groups march!
Even if it down plays the numbers
FiLiA @FiLiA_charity • 2h X We are at the HUGE @UKTogetherAll march with our gorgeous banner. We are proud to be anti-racist & anti-fascist #feminists; we are not free until ALL our Sisters are free! • No to racism • No to the far right 9 Yes to #sisterhood & #solidarity #Together #FeministsAgainstRacism
Hey Together can you explain how, for an antifascist organisation, you let these fascists/fascist sympathisers at your event?:
They didn't reply to me when I asked why there were no trans speakers at the rally either
The absolute ignorance of them, they are the absolute opposite of intersectional feminism with their monoculture of hate

Palantir’s technologies are used by the powerful to attack the powerless. This company should not be involved in our public services. Sign this petition if you agree act.globaljustice.org.uk/get-palantir...
This is just… so, so extremely upsetting.
A devastating exclusionary step, and an awful message to trans girls that their dreams have limits. We have to keep standing up against the spread of hate, fear and division that led us here.

It's so clear how having the right hormone balance is essential for wellbeing physically & psychologically & being able to thrive. Why should this be denied to trans women and men
After all hormones are just hormones, no such thing as male & female hormones, we just have them in differing amounts. It seems to make sense that each person would need varying amounts of oestrogen & testosterone according to their health needs & individual physiology
Good luck getting testosterone on the NHS as a menopausal woman too but yeah totally agree
And cis men (and cis precocious puberty kids) in particular cos menopausal women aren't allowed to have testosterone prescribed off label either 😡
Explains a lot
Letterhead M&S Established 1884 Waterside House 35 North Wharf Road London W2 1NW 020 7935 4422 marksandspencer.com. Addressed. Maya Forstater CEO, Sex Matters 12 March 2026. By email Content. Dear Ms Forstater, Thank you for your letter. I'm afraid you have been misinformed about our approach to providing fitting rooms for our customers. For many years, M&S has in the vast majority of stores provided unisex spaces which have individual cubicles secured with a lock from the inside. A colleague is usually on hand to provide assistance if required. This has not changed as a result of the Supreme Court or High Court rulings you refer to. Most of our fitting room spaces have long been signposted to customers with a generic 'Fitting Rooms' sign and not, as you wrongly suggest, with individual signage for women or men. The new 'Try On' signage is not a change of policy, it is simply part of a wider store redesign and updates the existing "Fitting Rooms' signage in stores we are refreshing. I'm pleased to have this opportunity to update you on our longstanding position. Yours sincerely, Nick Folland General Counsel and Company Secretary Waterside House 35 North Wharf Rosc regstered NO. 214456 (England and Wales)
Apparently, the hate group Sex Matters has been badgering M&S with their conspiracy theory and new pet legal theory that unisex-only facilities are still unlawful, after they failed to advance the Schedule 3 gotcha in GLP v EHRC.
And here’s M&S’s general counsel’s response.
Girl Guiding's cruel decision today to exclude existing members who happen to be Transgender, has direct comparision to their "Whites Only" stance throughout the 1930s-40s when Black and Brown girls were blocked from membership in South Africa. Different century, same prejudice. #ForAllGirls
Woodcraft folk always had a better ethos in my opinion and is proudly inclusive
Ugh, this is so depressing and frightening
Ah Catherine West, that explains a lot, don't even bother writing to her anymore
Well, well, well…. So the SC ruling only now applies to parts of the U.K.
This claim of inconsistency between Scotland and England is what the UK government used to block the Scottish government’s Gender Recognition Reform Bill, by triggering Section 35 of the 1998 Scotland Act.
Streeting has a full review into diagnosis of ADHD and Autism that shows there is no overdiagnosis. But he’s commissioned another in the hope of getting a result that lets him strip people of healthcare.
