London, just two weeks until I am bringing my standup show to Leicester Square Theatre. It’s about growing up as a butch lesbian in a patriarchal world and as an adult having that identity co-opted by bigots. Sounds funny, right??

We’re sold out for tomorrow but tickets for Pocklington (Yooooorkshire) on 6th, Manchester 11th, London down to final few here: https://t.co/6mAZ9edHss

@gracepetrie Fantastic show! Extremely funny, moving, important & all round brilliant. Thank you

I agree with Daniel Radcliffe, who's with me? #TransDayOfVisibility

I always will support @IndiaWilloughby & any other transgender person as best I can.
As a Scottish person, I am completely appalled at JK ROWLING and can confirm she doesn't speak for everyone in the north of Britain.

Research shows that watching this small film will help you recover from stress & lift your mood by triggering dopamine release. I’ve posted it to help in case you’re feeling strung out &/or low.

The desire for therapy assumes that a young person can easily open up to a stranger, that they can put their thoughts and feelings into words, and that they have a coherent sense of their life story. Relationships in school and the community can be far more natural and powerful.

So this vile #RwandaBill passes 320 to 276 and takes a wrecking ball to international law, showcasing a dying government degrading our democratic processes and vilifying some of the world’s most vulnerable people. Britain is better than this

[Penny @Pen_Boyd]

@JaneyGodley So pleased for you!

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

It feels like there are no words to describe the full horror of the devastating scenes from the Al Ahli Arabi Baptist hospital in Gaza. International law must be upheld. Civilian lives must be protected. Our own Govt should follow the lead of @WHO 👇

@bphillipsonMP Completely agree about the Tory debacle. How do Labour plan to rebuild trust and drive up standards?

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

As Suella Braverman guns for gay refugees fleeing gruesome persecution, and the Tories drop the proposed conversion ban:

They were never going to stop with trans people.

This government is an outright enemy of the whole LGBTQ community, and should be treated as such.

@ZoeTransWitch Very happy to leave, I hate so much of what’s posted these days. Like @LesleyCD I’d welcome suggestions for a better a platform

[Janey Godley @JaneyGodley]

I see Linehan has sent his bams after me -not scared - I’ll keep supporting trans people - I’m on the right side of history

[Steve Wardlaw @WardlawSteve]

So, why is this piece in @thetimes by @steven_swinford important? (this is more about politics now than trans issues)

For a start, it’s accurate. From what I know from inside the Home Office, the government and its SPAD (I can’t name) are going hell for leather to make as (1/11)
