Boycott Reading University. I challenge the University to publish its legal advice so that we can see which group provided it and why it says what they claim it says, in the face of generally accepted legal opinion.

Ooh, make it an RTS & call it Empire TERF. Or a JRPG and call it TERFbound. The last thing I need is another distraction but this might be the project that finally draws me in to game design…
With points lost for "collateral damage" to cis lesbians and multiple points lost for damage to cis non lesbians. It could be a game of chance (terfs and ladders?) Skill (Donkey Terf platform action?).

Just to be abundantly clear:

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social is promoting claims made by two researchers, one of whom is accused of invasive sexual interrogations of children, and the other is actively involved in the ex-Gay religious movement.

Labour party members should ask pointed questions.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people.

There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

Cis Americans, if you do one single thing today please let it be to contact your representative. You have no idea how many US trans people I follow who are freaked the fuck out

And for everyone else, if America does it, your country will use America as an example of how they can do it too. Speak up

If other countries shot at a Canadian delegation, they wouldn’t get off with a finger wagging. Canada needs to sanction and boycott Israel.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says that four of Canada’s personnel were part of a delegation in the West Bank when Israel Defense Forces fired shots in their vicinity. She expects a full investigation.

If you want to know how serious our decline in the UK, when North Carolina did what the Labour Government and EHRC have done, the then UK Government told LGBT+ people to beware travelling there.

As Keir Starmer does a “trans women are men” media tour today, I hope people think about that time he invoked the memory of Brianna Ghey in Parliament as part of a gotcha for Rishi Sunak. Abusing her memory for PR whilst plotting to remove the rights she would’ve had to live as herself. He’s sick.

@rachelgilmore.bsky.social PP promising to move trans women to men’s prisons, just like Trump; also offers nebulous guarantee to “ensure that women’s spaces and services remain protected in federal institutions and policy.” He’s keeping it quiet, but this is lifted right out of Trump’s playbook

Poilievre would require a referendum for every federal tax increase???

First, a referendum would be incredibly expensive (electoral reform would have cost $300 million, for example)

Second, good luck ever raising taxes again (including on the rich!)
