I was utterly appalled by @RishiSunak's rant against #trans people

It was an abuse of office, an abuse of power & an abuse of the trust so many have put in him

Trans people deserve our respect & affirmation - they suffer so much due too ignorance & hate

I wonder how lesbians who backed her feel about this now?

I was recently diagnosed with a host of neurodevelopmental disorders and learning disabilities! At 46!

I go through the full diagnosis/prognosis on the @thesunnypodcast (which drops in 2 weeks)

It’s not something I would normally talk about publicly but I figured there are
others who struggle with similar things and I wanted to remind you that you’re not alone. You’re not stupid. You’re not “bad”. It might feel that way sometimes. But it’s not true :)

I certainly won’t miss Suella Braverman‘s culture war-stoking, protest-bashing draconian legislation when I leave this House...

I wish people would stop interfering in young LGBT people’s right to be treated with dignity, equality and without discrimination. If @Urdd had this kind of safe space on the Maes when I was a gay teenager it might have made growing up gay a bit easier. https://t.co/ezMN1RIaJ0

A great account to follow. Thank you @speakoutsister

One of the slurs thrown at lesbians and gay men in the past was that they were a threat to children. Most predators are straight cis men. Yet here GB news quote Julie Bindel apparently claiming "minor attracted persons" are part of the LGBTQ community.

@Tzardan @ODIHQ Oooooo, can we play??

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Rest in peace, Brianna Ghey 🤍

Brianna deserved a chance to become a beautiful adult woman, and to live to see a world where trans people are safe and respected.

Anyone in the media who is using her deadname and erasing Brianna’s identity should be ashamed of themselves.

No beef but I’m struggling to understand why Beyoncé, who has half a billion dollars, would accept 20 million dollars to make her debut performance of the Renaissance album, a record which lifts heavily from queer culture, in Dubai, a country where LGBT rights aren’t recognised.

[Chris Edwards @ChrisE_CSR]

@semadivad Skip all the big brands. They spend more on that than the actual perfume. Go for anything by Robert Piguet or for crazy smart stuff, try Etat Libre D'Orange

[Chris Edwards @ChrisE_CSR]

I've done my (small) part, but please do support this wonderful book authored by a man who probably doesn't realise the positive impact he and his work has on LGBTQ+ people

[Sacha Coward @sacha_coward]

The mermaid is out of the net!!

I’m writing a book with @unbounders!
*Very excited gay screaming noises*

‘Queer As Folklore’ is a wild ride through the history behind mythical creatures and fantastical beings from an LGBTQ+ perspective.

The violent news from Colorado Springs is sickening and heartbreaking - the more so because there is a pattern.

We can not, will not, allow hate to win. We must end this in our time. No rest until all of us, including all of us in the LGBTQ+ community, can be, and feel, safe.
