We’ve heard that we’ve been granted permission to intervene in the Scottish Government’s case challenging the UK Government’s block of the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill. (1/4)
In other unexpected 2023 #edinburghfringe
memories, chatting with @jordbrookes about the male G-spot probably wouldn't have had a square on the bingo card either
My unexpected honour and privilege to chaotically sax out the awesome @JuliaMasli on Saturday night #edinburghfringe
Go see her wonderful show while you have a chance!
@CaelanConrad See when you do a big poo, and some of the poo gets stuck to the side of the toilet bowl after you flush and won't go away. We call that a glinner.
Great piece by @kezdugdale calling out the demonisation of (pro-GRR Bill) women’s organisations who challenge power imbalances daily on precarious, shoestring budgets.
Their funding is transparent, unlike some of the groups attacking the rights of women and LGBTQ communities.
We are deeply disappointed to see @Keir_Starmer comments today on @bbclaurak.

On Friday I confronted Suella Braverman's use of hateful language. She refused to apologise. We must always challenge the language of hate. The Home Office demanded the video be taken town. They seem not to realise we are still a democracy.
Where was the "Queer is a slur" crowd when Queer Eye first started? Or was rebooted? Or when my generation were being called gay as a slur? Or anytime before the Great Trans Panic?
I can't describe how worrying it is, as a disabled person who's been at the knife's edge of govt policies about disability categorisation, to see the Chair of the WM Committee on Human Rights liking a tweet which so blatantly misrepresents both current law and disability justice.
