The bare minimum that MPs can do is acknowledge that Trans+ people are not a trend and we have been around for millennia. This Early Day Motion for @transhistoryweek.bsky.social gives us a foundation to build engagement from.

Ask your MP to sign the motion.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

“What’s transpired over the last three or four days just takes it to a whole new level of cruelty and inhumanity and, frankly, a whole new level of stupidity in doing this is the most non-strategic way.” Tens of thousands of people will die as a result of this action.

I often talk about how Good Law Project tries to speak the only language that politicians understand: that of political pain. We are now trying to speak the only language that GB News understands: financial pain. This is how you help. 👇🏻
It costs money for GB News to pump hate into Britain's homes. Much of that money comes from Sky, which also makes much play of being a force for good. We've made it so easy for you to write and politely ask Sky's Chief Executive to stop funding hate. action.goodlawproject.org/sky-stop-fun...

Infant mortality increased along with births in most U.S. states with abortion bans in the first 18 months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, according to new research. Babies who were Black, lived in Southern states or had fetal birth defects died at the highest rates.

Several years ago, in an interview the Guardian censored, Judith Butler predicted that "Terfs will not be part of the contemporary struggle against fascism."

Janice Turner and The Times have proven Judith right.

This is good to see, but also feels a little hypocritical given @bmj.com recently desk-rejected a "letter to the editor" by myself and colleagues responding to significant disinformation and bias in its journalistic reporting on trans healthcare.
Censor CDC scientists and ask them to withdraw papers from medical journals?

This is not how it works, Mr President.

This Govt has raised tuition fees, won't reopen Erasmus, is killing their trans friends, isn't serious about climate change, won't tax the rich, and has done nothing on housing.

I would like to be explicit here. Bayswater as not *just* a conversion therapy group. They are explicitly a child abuse enabling group.

In the Bayswater discord, parents talked about destroying their kids possessions and blocking access to childline.
