All the sex based rights the Terfs fight for are performative btw - toilets, swimming in ponds. Youโll not catch them fighting for equal pay or improved policing & funding of sex crimes.

Racist nurse Sandie Peggie lost 46 out of 50 claims in her first Tribunal, all 6 claims in her Appeal & was found to have harassed her colleague. She is to appeal. Again.
With billionaire funding the anti trans camp will keep trying simply for the headlines. Wasting NHS funds.

A small reflection: I wore this tshirt out in Birmingham last night. Had 9 seperate people come up and say they liked it. 8 cis women, 1 drag queen! Offline, away from this hellsite, women are the biggest allies.

In Minneapolis, voters are leaving their โI Votedโ stickers at the memorials of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two Americans killed by ICE.
They should still be alive to cast their own ballots.

America moved on Trump like a bitch.
When youโre a democracy they let you do it.

The biggest loser tonight is the anti trans panic. Republicans ran HARD this year on painting trans folks to look like villains. They did every rude, dehumanising, abusive thing they could to us and we tanked it and they lost big.
Maybe from now on Republicans should try to run on something other than blaming marginalised folks for their problems.

BREAKING: Virginia has just repealed its constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
And codified abortion rights into the state constitution.
On the same night.
This is not a blue wave. This is a tsunami.

A lot of what gets said about trans people and the law is simply wrong. I sat down with Oscar Davies, the UK's first openly non-binary barrister, to go through what the Equality Act really does and where it stops. Watch the full conversation: youtube.com/watch?v=TKOP6YPOโฆ

If you're feeling even the tiniest bit of hope today, listen to this from @GretaThunberg.
I always feel inspired listening to Greta speak. She's got a very rare power of being able to use words to catalyse feeling into action, even when we don't necessarily have all the answers. Such a natural and motivating speaker.
Very grateful to her for joining us on the podcast with @ZackPolanski, which you can listen to here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcasโฆ

Normal women...are beyond definition.
Men have always claimed that there is such a thing as โfemale natureโ and described it with great authority โ but throughout history, women like me have refused to conform to the strict view of what is masculine and feminine!

The richest man in the world spent more money than most people will see in a lifetime, only to lose a Senate race in Texas by double digits. This is a reminder that we must overturn Citizens United. But it's also a reminder that organized people can still defeat organized money.
