I tweet about LGBT+ rights & education. My opinions are my own & don’t necessarily reflect those of organisations I’m involved in. Queer, trans & here. He/him

[Kacey de Groot, NEU LGBT+ Executive Member @dee_exec]

Conservative ‘Expert’ on behaviour…get rid of them! Let’s ignore the fact that over 60% of prison population were permanently excluded. Ignore the fact that Black children will be disproportionately affected. And ignore the over representation of SEND kids. EXCLUDINATE!!!!!!!

@wesstreeting It's good to hear your other comments condemning the so called culture war, but you said it's a non-issue so I don't know why you didn't just shut the question down & talk about the things that actually are issues rather than advocating for the segregation of trans people like me

[Trans Actual @TransActualUK]

We’re off to the UNISON LGBT+ conference this weekend. TransActual are big fans of trade unions. Everyone should be in one, but here’s a thread of reasons for trans people to be in a trade union. (1/7)

Stop pestering me to set up a direct debit @BulbUK. I’ve already told you numerous times that I don’t want to and I’ll pay you when you send a bill. If I need to - this month the £66 credit exceeded my bill.

Today is a great day to share the Scottish Government’s guidance on trans inclusion in schools, and to remind them that the aspects of the Equality Act that relate to trans children’s access to spaces are the same as in England.

[C @CB1984CB]

Once again @BBCNews the papers spreading misinformation about the Equality Act. Trans ppl of any age of protected against discrimination - EHRC guidance for schools spells out that this protection from discrimination for any child young person who has started social transition.

@JoeyKnock Maybe he’s born with it, maybe it’s sertriline.

Books can be such a good way to help little ones learn how to handle BIG feelings!

That's why we love I Am Angry from Michael Rosen and Robert Starling, featuring a very angry but very cute blue cat!

[Stonewall @stonewalluk]

HUGE WIN! Lesbians, bi women and trans people will no longer face additional barriers to accessing IVF, following our #IVFforAll campaign. This wouldn't have been possible without the help of our supporters, who campaigned alongside us for this change 🫶🌈

@poppygibsonuk Rotary propeller?

[C @CB1984CB]

Absolutely appalled to see Trans by H. Joyce in the “pride section” of @Royal_Greenwich’s library app. It’s widely known to be a transphobic book. @ElthamLibrary what’s going on?

[National Education Union @NEUnion]

The Government ‘conversion therapy’ ban must extend to and protect trans people equally.

As NHS England and major bodies in the UK have warned, Government must confirm all conversion therapy is unethical and incompatible with equalities legislation.

[C @CB1984CB]

At the NEU conference this year, there have been some incredible speeches. But what struck me is the overwhelming support for LGBT+ people of all ages. Pleased to see the largest education union in Europe just voted to support calls to #BanConversionTherapy for all LGBT+ people.

[Trans Actual @TransActualUK]

A quick reminder that it’s not only trans people that the EHRC is letting down.

[C @CB1984CB]

…a 2 year wait on top of the 2 years already waited. Due not to covid, but to NHS messing up their commissioning. And support? What support?

Tired to my bones. Is it any wonder I’m struggling to concentrate at work, struggling to get myself out to my taekwondo class?

[C @CB1984CB]

Being trans in the UK right now is exhausting. Transphobia from the government, from the press, online and even in an online course that I’m doing. And as well as that, sorting out to go to Belgrade to finish lower surgery because otherwise I’d have…

[Hafsa Qureshi @MsHafsaQureshi]

Sometimes I feel like QTIPOC's lived experiences are just anecdotes for white queers to steal. I'm not your inspirational story. Take our words out of your mouth, and give us the stage instead.

@DrAdamBrett Congratulations!
