Thus speaks the voice of privilege - of someone who has never been fearful of other’s reactions to their identity. Rainbow lanyards are not there to divide but to signal to some of the most vulnerable people in our society that they are safe and welcome.

It's legal to claim asylum. People who have asked for help must not be treated this way.
This is an attack on everyone's rights. When universal human rights, like the right to seek safety, are undermined for anyone they're undermined for everyone.

I have never felt so ashamed of UK government as I do this morning.
This bill is cruel, dangerous & in my mind undemocratic as it bulldozed its way through Parliament, taking no notice of those in the upper house who had major concerns about its efficacy

Misconceptions about lesbians in media state they are "disappearing" & that they're transphobic but data gathered in the Census shows the opposite!
There are more LGBTQ+ women than ever before & more out lesbians than ever - with 84% accepting & supportive of trans people!✊🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Anti-trans activists waving Cass Report demand a rethink of Gillick & the sacking of anyone who stands up for trans rights, yet Cass says there is not enough evidence on which to make clinical decisions either way. That evidence lies in trans community. Will they be listened to?

Brilliant take down of the claims made by Suella Braverman, showing them to be bogus, hate-filled prejudice rather than anything remotely related to facts theguardian.com/global-devel…

Given that there's no conceivable unfair advantage whatsoever, the only possible reason for this is hatred and discrimination.
Transgender women will be banned from competing in top-level female chess tournaments while the game’s governing body adjudicates whether they have an unfair advantage
