A 1053 page review of gender affirming care le.utah.gov/AgencyRP/rep... as reported by @motherjones.com
says “gender affirming care reduces suicide risk and improves mental health outcomes in transgender people, with the effect most marked in the u18 age group.”

But Wes has other ideas.

On this International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (#IDAHOBIT), join a union that will stand up for your rights.
On a background of UTAW logos coloured in the various queer flags is the following text: "The International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) is an important day in the queer calendar, representing the day that the World Health Organisation took homosexuality off their list of mental illnesses in 1973, but the struggle continues -- every. single. day. We’re all weary of companies putting out bland, empty statements. All while they continue to support political parties that stoke division, push oppressive laws and legal decisions, support the military-industrial complex, and fund Israel’s genocide. We’ll continue working to get all queer people the dignity they deserve, in and out of work, no matter the time of year. Oh, and remember, Barclays did NOT throw the first brick at Stonewall. None of us are free until all of us are free. Join a union that will stand up for your rights today."

We stand with our trans comrades.

#Trans #TransRights #Union
The trans pride colours tint a concrete texture. The UTAW logo in black is above the words, "UTAW stands with our trans comrades" and "Read our full statement below". Against the trans pride colours, the following text is displayed above the UTAW logo: "At UTAW, we’re deeply concerned by the implications that this judgement will have on the LGBT+ community. We also worry that the rushed and ill-informed guidance that is being released by the Equality and Human Rights commission will cause more serious harm to the trans community - and will likely be unworkable in practice. We’ll be continuing to campaign and fight for our trans comrades both in the workplace and outside. If you’re having problems at work, talk to your union rep."

The rise in retailers using gig apps to hire workers as freelancers rather than staff is extremely worrying. Shop workers end up losing out on significant employment rights.

It's good to see these firms listening to our advice and ending their use of the practice.
Uniqlo, Gymshark and Lush stop hiring UK workers via gig economy apps
TUC criticise retailers for endangering workers’ rights by using apps such as YoungOnes and Temper

Shame on you Oxford Literary Festival
goatsarah.org Sarah has a suggestion @goatsarah.org · Dec 29
Remember those pictures of “Saudi conference on women’s rights” full of only men?

Did you react with amused horror?

What about “LGBT” sponsored “debates” on trans people where the only panelists are cis transphobes?

Same shit.

Well I was going to go to the Oxford Literary Festival. But you know what, I don't think I'll bother.
