We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Drawing on @ofcom.bsky.social’s Online Nation 2023 report, which highlights the prevalence of such online harm, the project takes an intersectional approach to understand how vulnerabilities accumulate across gender, race, sexuality, and disability.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Anti-DEI guidance from Trump administration misinterprets the law and guts educators’ free speech rights
A letter from the Trump administration warns educational institutions that they’ll lose federal funding if they don’t abandon so-called DEI programs. That could change education in the US.

That's a nice snitch form you've got there

It'd be a shame if anyone filled it out with satirical or misleading information

Sharing from Shon Faye's Instagram
From Shon Faye's Instagram: On the Hunter Schafer passport story: This isn't just America. in fact there are very well mobilised lobby groups in the U.K. making arguments for similar measures here. There's been a slow creep of this stuff: the constant litigation of "what a woman is" is designed to normalise interrogation and hectoring of trans people, the fact that despite having a legally changed my birth certificate I would now go to a men's prison in the UK, the constant attempts to get the Equality Act definition of "sex" changed... If Labour ultimately lose future elections due to their own incompetence and lack of vision (likely) and Tories and Reform clobber together some kind of mandate there will one hundred percent be discussion of preventing trans people from changing documents in the U.K. It's ironic how the term "woke" got bastardised by the right because the original exhortation by Black American communities to "stay woke" was about be awake and live to rising state hostility, violence and fascism. So to British non-trans people shocked by Trump please be alive to the fact we are also sleepwalking into something very dark.
