This weekend Scotland has had dozens of marches by a religious cult that sing about killing catholics and Irish people, and are protected by the police. But if I chant "End the genocide. I support Palestine Action" I'm arrested for terrorism offences.

It feels somehow important to say that the money I receive on disability goes straight back into the economy whereas millionaires store it in offshore bank accounts 🙄

I promise that when you can’t go on I’ll be there, working. And I know that you’ll do the same for me.

I’d just like to say a sincere I see you to all the queers who completed the EHRC consultation tonight. To be put in the position where you have to beg to have the human rights abuses aimed at you take a somewhat less severe form, knowing you will be ignored, is so defeating. But we’ll keep going.

Deadline is midnight tomorrow (Monday) folks, still plenty of time to get the consultation in x
I think you should fill in the EHRC consultation. There is a very good written guide that helps you fill it in by Scottish Trans, Mermaids and Trans Actual

If you would benefit from a "homework club" style hang out to get you through, check this stream out

If you're a British trans person or ally I really think you MUST fill in the EHRC consultation on whether to segregate trans people from society

This is why it's important that we collect people's responses. If you can, when you've completed the "consultation", please send your answers to TransActual - policy@transactual.org.uk - so we can ensure that government sees your answers. 1/2
IMPORTANT
I’ve heard EHRC consultation responses will likely be outsourced to a company that will use AI to read them.
So, whilst using templates is convenient and less stressful, responses must be sufficiently individual to not be considered mass produced or copies, or they won’t be counted.

Hey everyone, Trans Actual are collecting responses to the EHRC consultation because it sounds likely they're going to try and obscure them
If you saved them (a good idea if you haven't filled it in yet!) please can you email the address below with them! I personally trust Trans Actual and Helen

Something I found lovely about yesterday was that allies really showed up. I was in the queue for parliament with a mother meeting her MP on behalf of her trans child & a cis man meeting his on behalf of his trans brother. A father of trans kids met my MP before me. People are fighting this with us.

The Madleen, a UK-flagged aid ship heading to break the illegal siege on Gaza, has been threatened by the Israeli government.
Greta Thunberg, Rima Hassan MEP & others are on board.
The UK must act: defend the ship & crew or remain complicit in Israel’s blockade, aggression & genocide.

This also goes for any MSP currently falling over themselves to comply in advance with weak, discriminatory guidance. Have some damn courage, hold a principle. It's a basic civil rights issue and you're failing us
Would love to see some ally mps actually oppose the segregation of trans people rather than accept the premise but insist we “aren’t left without facilities”
