Anyone who knows immigration bureaucracy will know that people who seek asylum because they are gay undergo hostile and humiliating scrutiny.

This is a sick civilization.
An open call to genocide. It is clear that Gaza is how we got here- tolerating genocide in one space begets another. Generations of our ancestors have worked to build something different, toward the preservation of earthly life. I hope I live to see this re-orientation.
It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people.
We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government.
This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.
"Don't strike or I'll withdraw healthcare from tomorrow's public" is pretty stupid even by Labour's standards.

The Justice Secretary - a former barrister - suggesting that being wrongly accused of a crime and imprisoned for 3 years is just like “scraping your knee” in order to justify undermining and restricting a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy is absurd, embarrassing and shameful
They'll just get them online, their parents medicine cabinet, or friends. They aren't going to stop access, only safe access to hormones. Trans people have been getting access to hormones via nonmedical pathways for over half a century.
The sight of men harassing and attacking a woman in the name of defending women and children is sickening.
Breaking: UN experts have again warned the United Kingdom to respect trans+ rights 🇺🇳🏳️⚧️

This is an amazing piece from Jess Davies. But we have a plan to fight back - if anonymous accounts have used image based abuse to try and silence you, chasing you across platforms, we'd love to hear from you.
Graphic with a purple background. There is a picture of a hand holding a megaphone that is tinted pink in the bottom right corner. It says "Actions speak louder than words. This LGBTI+ history month we ask Scottish Government, is this how you’d like to be remembered? Will you continue to stand up or stand by when trans rights are at risk?" At the bottom are the Equality Network and Scottish Trans logos and the link https://equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisberemembered"
Scot Gov has defined sex in Scottish Hate Crime law as ‘biological sex’ as per the Supreme Court ruling. A choice they have made. We urge you to challenge that choice. Ask how they want to be remembered in the fight for trans equality & human rights: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisb...
"A conservative network led by Michael Gove and Nigel Farage’s senior adviser James Orr has spent more than half a million pounds pushing far-right and anti-trans voices – some of it fuelled by profits from Russian oil."
