I don't need to wonder
"I will not put up with this shit. I have been beaten. I have had my nose broken. I have been thrown in jail. I have lost my job. I have lost my apartment for gay liberation and you all treat me this way? What the fuck's wrong with you all? Think about that!" - Sylvia Rivera

“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”
This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.
'If I had a time machine and the means to zap the activists of the Stonewall riot to the offices of Dugdale today, I wonder how they would react to what Stonewall has become.'

Come on, look up, and see that Keira Bell, the GC movement's primary "detransitoner," has Christian Right legal representation, and is big fan of Far Right icon Tommy Robinson, and yet is being laundered to the UK press and the public as "caring about children." Heard that one before, right?
Right? It's quite telling...

Kezia Dugdale has launched into her new role with a commitment to making Stonewall even more toothless and irrelevant than it was already.

Asked about JK Rowling’s opposition to trans rights, Dugdale said: “I have a huge respect for JK Rowling. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her before and I think her story and how she came to be this prolific, incredible children’s writer in this city as a single mum writing in a cafe is phenomenal and an inspiration to so many women across the world. “I think she’s been a really powerful political advocate [for] improving the lot of single mums, making a case for tackling poverty and inequality in all its forms, and there is absolutely a place for her in public life to share her experiences and tell her story and make a difference.”

The law doesn't even pretend to protect you.
in 3 and a half years Scottish Labour have gone from "we support the expansion of trans rights" to "the day one priority of a Scottish Labour government would be to drastically increase the number of trans women getting raped in prison"
Oh snap. You've just reminded me that I got the same. 😅

If you are standing or supporting the Labour party in Scotland this election, you are an enemy to the LGBTQ+ community.
There is no nuance here. You're either on the side of human rights or you are not.
Manufesto commutment to: "Delivering single-sex spaces on the basis of biological sex, in NHS wards, schools, sport and everyday life by upholding the Equality Act and delivering clear instructions to public services on how to comply with their legal obligations to women and to trans people.
A vote for Scottish Labour is a vote for an explicitly anti-trans manifesto. Hang your heads in shame.

The response to the conversion therapy video has been amazing. I’ve gotten messages from lots of NHS staff appalled to learn about the present-day abuses, who want to hold senior managers to account. As I say in the video, allowing this abuse undermines the entire NHS! 🏥

let's be clear about what's happening: donald trump and benjamin netanyahu, whose countries have been committing genocide in gaza since 2023, unilaterally started a war with iran, and are now threatening genocide there.
Here is the person Keir Starmer is allowing to use his warplanes to take off from this country to bomb Iran.
What is the UK government doing to stop this❓
Why hasn’t Starmer halted the US use of UK bases❓
Why hasn’t the UK already denounced this madman and suspended military cooperation❓
Has the UK government abdicated all responsibility for international law and public interest❓
The lunatic said “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
This maniac need to be taken out and I don’t care how they do it. This isn’t a joke. He’s threatening to genocide all of Iran! He’s Hitler

Thanks @thetimes.com for taking a break from being an open sewer of transphobia to share our message to every paper-seller in the country <3

People may have short memories, Keir – but not so short we don’t remember the Labour Party of just last year.
