Tired trans woman

[Damien Donnelly @MrDDonnelly]

I'm actually astonished he was pushed on it since I'm so used to interviewers just letting this nonsense slide. But...his example of a safe space where women are supported after trauma is...prison?!

I've no idea where this Government-led culture-war attack on trans people is tracking compared to last year

As an ally, it *feels* relentless. I can't imagine how that translates for the trans community.

I AM just so so sorry.

It's unjust, inhumane and unacceptable

"We have a government that is fabricating a culture war to deliberately stoke division and deflect from their own terrible failings."

Let’s be clear where all the anti LGBT+ stuff is really coming from No-one who cares about human rights should support it - They’ll be coming for women’s rights next- make no mistake https://t.co/q6K9zYo36k

Trans people have suffered a relentless, vicious and escalating campaign of hate against them in Britain and beyond.

Today, trans people and their allies take to the streets determined to fight back #TransPride

[merle ♂️ @fujodemon]

Twitter is where they do ritualistic bullying of queer people but it's not where they organise.

They organise on Facebook and Mumsnet, but the GC "thought leaders" have offline connections to one another.

Twitter dying means the rank and file will have no outlet for their rage

[Fiona Robertson fionaswriting.bsky.social @FionasWriting]

Once again, the 'death of twitter' jokes are fun but the disability community is filled with dread. Twitter fills a specific niche for so many of us which makes it the place we organise, support each other, develop theory and practice, and have social lives.

As #PrideMonth comes to an end, we hear from @Genderintell's Cleo Madeleine about the incredible strain the trans community is under

From healthcare disparities & housing insecurity, to the impact of the culture wars & the need for better conversation: https://t.co/i89emTdUFK

Ngl does not feel great when the government of the country you reside in sees your identity and community as something to cleanse out of society

[Charley Hasted (they/them) @CharleyHasted]

Parents kicking their kids out is the leading cause of LGBT+ Youth homelessness.
Sunak wants to make that more likely. https://t.co/elOO4TwtoF

1/ Imagine being the trans person who contacted Kirsty, who is so fearful re the hate being stirred up and her looming loss of rights that you say you feel you may be better off dead than endure it. Now imagine how you’d feel seeing 3 MPs mock you followed by thousands of their..

[Aidan Comerford @AidanCTweets]

Some anti-trans campaigners roll their eyes at stats/stories of suicidal ideation because they believe the anti-trans propaganda that these stats/stories are overinflated, and some roll their eyes because they know they are true and don't want to be made feel bad about it. 6/

[colin macfarlane @Cmacf76]

Kudos to those MPs who used their time to give voice to their trans constituents in todays debate. Disappointing to see some MPs scoffing at those voices explaining the real fear they feel at the prospect that laws that currently protect them might be removed.

[Jayne Ozanne OBE @JayneOzanne]

@angelaeagle gives a powerful speech in @HoCpetitions on #EqualityAct

She speaks about the harms of a "culture war" by this govt & a strategy of wanting to weaponise anti-trans fear

The attack on trans people is "designed as a wedge issue that will act as a gateway for others"

[Luke Pollard MP @LukePollard]

In today’s debate I stood up for the Equality Act and made the case that we need to tackle rising hate towards to trans and non-binary people.

As #Plymouth’s first out MP I feel I have a special responsibility to stand up for equality.
