I will reimburse the travel costs*, provide accommodation and 3 meals a day to anyone who wants a holiday in Scotland this Summer.

You have to help me strip out a building for a few hours each day you stay. That's the deal. All other time is yours to explore this beautiful corner of Scotland.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

Next time you see an article quoting a transphobe from one of the fauxminist ‘gender critical’ transphobic hate groups - email/ tag the journalist and ask them why they’ve not asked @nionwomen.bsky.social for a quote - as they’re MUCH more representative of UK women!

We always work- whether it be paid or unpaid labor. Work in the home is usually done by women- we need a UBI, all through life social security does not give you "credit" for unpaid labor years in the home, no $ while doing it and less $ when you retire. It's respect for women we need, and $.

I need your help to reach beyond SM to find the parents quietly supporting their trans offspring, heads down, staying safe and anonymous.

I need them to sign the Transparent Action pledge.

Growing our numbers will show Streeting supportive parents outnumber the transphobes.

Help me find them.
📜 Today we are launching the Transparent Pledge.

Please read and sign it here: 👉 tinyurl.com/TransparentAction

Transparent Action is a group of parents who want to take action in support of their trans, non-binary and gender diverse loved ones and the wider trans+ community.
