Just a few days left to see this extraordinary cry of rage of a play before it heads off for a week in Bath. Janie Dee, Alfie Friedman and the entire cast are brilliant in this plea on behalf of some of our most vulnerable.

This is brilliant. Thanks to @StandingforXX and @ThePosieParker we should soon have a list of schools at which trans students, staff and family members will feel safe and welcome.
For the same reason that you shouldn't be racist, sexist or homophobic. You also shouldn't use the alleged crimes of one individual to justify your hatred of a whole group. Like racists and homophobes have done in the past.

Congratulations to all of the artists, authors & publishers.
Considering that the @jk_rowling endorsed Kellie-Jay, @theposieparker (or whatever her name is) leads something called The Party of Women, perhaps she could share with us what she actually intends to do for women other than rendering a few of them homeless.

Useful explainer for anyone planning on responding to the RSHE consultation. Of particular note, the nonsensical proposal to cover FGM only after the age at which cchildren are at highest risk. sexeducationforum.org.uk/new…
This a quite extraordinary thread. She's not only opposed to showing support for people who face discrimination but actually advocating on behalf of those who want to abuse them in the workplace.
I am actually quite looking forward to Rowling taking on God. I would imagine the deity has more sense than to bother with Twitter so I'm hoping he'll oblige us all with a thunderbolt or two.
Transgender people are made in the image of God, worthy of our respect and love and part of the Church of Scotland. #GA2024
