One thing I’m glad I learned young was everyone at their best is temporarily ablebodied. Disabled people are the largest minority group that you can join at a moments notice. If it’s an accessible space, when you need it you’ll have better access yourself. Selfishly you should want access for all
Your new motto should be: if it’s fine for disabled people, it’s fine for me.

In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.
Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.
