"Trans people could be asked about whether they should be accessing single-sex services based on their physical appearance."
No. not "trans people". ANYONE. This moral panic leads inexorably to the policing of women based on their appearance deemed to be "unfeminine".

Trans people could be barred from services based on appearance
The new code of practice on access to single-sex services cannot gain legal force until it gets sign-off from ministers.

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

This amount of people years out from an election is amazing. Such a great amount of energy in the Green Party currently 💚💚
A fantastic doorknocking session this evening in Hotwells & Harbourside. The cold can't keep the Greens down! 💪
Lots of support on the doors for @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social and the work @carladenyer.bsky.social and myself are doing in the area, and picked up some face-to-face casework as well 💚

Unlike Reform, Labour etc
The Greens are funded primarily by ordinary people so that is who they are accountable to not big business
If you want a party which prioritises ordinary people then you have to fund it

The UK Government should open its own Pharmaceutical Factory.
More than 98% of drugs used by the NHS are generic, yet many are still sold at more than 10x the cost to produce.
Tens of thousands of jobs and tens of billions of pounds saved, the rest of Europe will buy drugs too.

But they won't tell you that they get 48% of the money.
Or that if they paid the same 47% tax as everyone else, they'd be paying 68% of the tax.
