[FREE THEM ALL 🇵🇸 @djmuel_]

I hope everyone is under no illusion here. the constant media attacks on trans people and the elevation of transphobic hate from “gender criticals” is responsible for the death of this young woman.

[Trans Safety Network @trans_safety]

We are appalled to note that @thetimes have now updated their article on the killing of Brianna Ghey to remove all references to her being a girl and to add her deadname.

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

Massive turnout in London today to support striking workers 👊

The message to the government is clear:

#EnoughlsEnough

[National Education Union @NEUnion]

This is what change looks like #SaveOurSchools

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

🏳️‍⚧️ Finland has passed a law enabling trans people to change their legal gender by self-declaration.

It joins Ireland, Argentina, Denmark, Portugal + many more countries that have demedicalised the process, with no detrimental impact on women’s rights.

Time for the UK to follow.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

After 10 years of campaigning, a new law in Finland at last approves self-determination in legal gender recognition. People who want to legally change their gender will no longer have to undergo invasive requirements first, like proof of infertility or psychiatric diagnosis.

front of the teachers march reaching downing street, greeted by cheering civil servants also on strike while a band plays solidarity forever. a whole vibe!
