Today, a mother-of-three has been jailed for 28 months after using abortion pills to end her own pregnancy. No woman can ever go through this again. We need abortion law reform in Great Britain NOW. #TimeToAct

Tomorrow, a woman in England will be sentenced for ending her own pregnancy. The maximum sentence she could receive is up to life imprisonment - the harshest penalty in the world. We need abortion law reform now. Report from @HannahAlOthman in today’s @thetimes

CW: conversion practices, transphobia. This is the reality of what conversion "therapy" looks like. Survivors suffer from lifelong damage and suffering. #BanConversionTherapy now. No more delays. Watch the full video and share ➡️ bit.ly/BCT-film

The Scottish Gov will be voting on the Gender Recognition Reform Bill on 21 December. This would make it easier for trans people to update their birth certificate 🏳️‍⚧️💙 If you're in Scotland, use @stonewalluk's tool to write to your MSPs! stonewall.org.uk/our-work/ca…

By threatening sporting sanctions & stopping players from wearing #OneLove armbands, FIFA are brushing criticism of human rights abuses under the carpet. bbc.co.uk/sport/football/636…

World Cup 2022: England, Wales & other European nations will not wear OneLove armbands

England, Wales and other European nations will not wear the OneLove armband at the World Cup in Qatar because of the threat of players getting yellow cards.

There are no words to describe this utter shambles adequately. It’s beyond hyperbole - & parody. Reality tho is that ordinary people are paying the price. The interests of the Tory party should concern no-one right now. A General Election is now a democratic imperative.

One of the most sensible takes on ‘cancel culture’ I’ve seen. Sensible, honest, smart. I’m posting the video directly as Times Radio tweeted it with a clickbait and somewhat misleading headline that unintentionally confirmed his point. More of this please.

Happy #BiVisibilityDay! 💙💜💗 Last week we asked you for your thoughts on bi representation and visibility in media and the public, and how you #TakePride in being bi. Here's what you said 👇
How could bi visibility be improved in society? For media to show realistic and positive representation of bisexual people. By creating a safe space for bisexual people to be out in the workplace Being out and proud if you're able to. Being vocal if you're able to. Share yourself with the world. Making sure all LGBTQ+ spaces are bi-inclusive

Making sure all LGBTQ+ spaces are bi-inclusive

How do you #TakePride in being bi? Spending time with my beautiful bi friends! I correct people who automatically label me as gay because I'm in a same-sex relationship! Rainbows on everything! Writing stories with bi protagonists because representation matters

Why is it important to have bi visibility in mainstream media? I had so much internalised biphobia before I came out because of a lack of rep Because we have to deal with "gatekeepers" in gay and lesbian groups too. It’s so important for young people to grow up and see bi characters portrayed positively as role models! So that we can see other bi people living their truth and know we're not alone.

Why is it important to have bi visibility in mainstream media? For bisexuality to be seen as a real thing and to feel that's its okay to be bi! So that young people can understand themselves better and feel less alone. Because bisexuality exists and should be represented in a sympathetic and realistic way Bisexuals are equally as valid as any other member of the community.
