🚨NEW 🚨

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful.

Join us in writing a complaint to Ofcom to force them to take action 👇

If you’re into urban fantasy, you need to read this series. @junodawson.bsky.social is a masterful writer that knows how to tell a good story and leave you wanting more. They say that messages in books need to be subtle so not to ruin the story, they apparently never read her books. 5/5 ⭐️

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.
ABC White House correspondent just released ANOTHER anti-trans EO expected that we did not cover in our piece this morning:

A federal ban on funding to programs that acknowledge and affirm transgender people.

Nobody asked us for #SquirrelAppreciationDay plans, but here they are anyway 🌰

There’s going to be a lot of cis people — allies, lovers, etc. — wondering what they can do to help trans people, and honestly I think one of the biggest is going to be galvanizing other cis people to recognize and support us, especially those who don’t actually know any trans people.

I created a starter pack for LGBTQIA+ advocacy orgs in the nonprofit sector.

I couldn’t find one so I made one.

If you want adding to it reply to this message. Please let me know the ones I’ve missed and let me know as they join Bluesky so we can get them going.
