Transgender women are women. Transgender men are men. Transgender people are people.

Transgender rights are HUMAN rights.

Deeply upset for the transgender community today.

First, it was blocking transgender healthcare. Now, it’s a budget that is going to push the vulnerable in our society further into poverty.

The so called “Democratic socialist party” isn’t looking very socialist. This isn’t what I supported.

The moment you are comfortable removing the rights of anybody, it isn’t a political preference it is a personal vendetta that gives you no gain.

I have no involvement with the USA but to put such extreme things in his inaugural speech is utterly terrifying.

Whichever pronouns you want me to use are the ones I’m using for you

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Heart goes out to every person in the USA, immigrant or not, that isn’t white, male, cisgender or heterosexual. What a scary time to be alive.

Make sure you read all of the executive orders that Trump plans to pass today. Dire news for immigrants, transgender rights, the environment, and it just keeps going from there.

I fully plan on deadnaming the Gulf of Mexico

🛏️ This morning, I'm delighted to welcome the tripling of emergency homeless funding to £30m across the UK.

This means an uplift of £315k across the councils of Tameside and Manchester.

This is in addition to the nearly £1b uplift in funding we announced last year.
