This is an absolutely wonderful project, and I am so delighted that we are doing it. It is vital that we invest in love, solidarity, and creativity. Moments like these are such an important part of how we fight back.

Mini thread on the ET decision in Peggie

Top line: It says exactly what we have been saying for months. The decision of the Supreme Court was not to turn the Equality Act 2010 into a nationwide bathroom ban - regardless of how anti-trans organisations have sought to misrepresent the law.
