On the advocacy front, Smith's name pops up everywhere. In Hansard, she was named as a supporter of the 2016 inclusion of gender identity in the BC Human Right Code (a change which enabled the non-binary restaurant ruling). She was instrumental in cutting municipal funding to Vancouver Rape Relief, a women's shelter that refuses to admit men. She is the chair of the BC NDP's Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Committee (SOGI). According to the BC lobbyist registry, she has conducted extensive lobbying regarding name changes, in particular to oppose legislation which puts limits on the ability of criminals to change their names. 7/9

@jo_bartosch agree. Sick of this crap

I had the enormous pleasure of reviewing Body on the Roundabout by @FaithEckersall
in last week's Closer. Today is publication day. It is brilliant...@emblabooks

@hollowood_zoe What, to obey the law? Seems a bizarre stance for a party that wants to be in government

[Kaye McIntosh 🟩⬜🟪 @kayewrites]

@adampollock Yes, you can. A wanted pregnancy is very different from an unwanted one. As a man, your opinion isn't especially relevant here

@EMtrains_ help! Am on a northbound train to Sheffield, just left Leicester at approx 13.12. Have a mobility scooter. But my exit is blocked by suitcases. I need someone to sort this out before I leave at Chesterfield!

I know we are all glued to the brilliant #TheHallmarkedMan at the moment, but maybe spare a minute to buy @Glinner's 'Tough Crowd' for your next read. It really is so very good!! #istandwithglinner

@JournalistJill That's hardly a skirt - he's practically flashing!

They reveal that Dr Upton had “previous difficulties” with a colleague and kept a personal log of “difficult interactions,”

@JoCostello20 @annimeaculpa @SouthsideTilly @Wecantconsentto I worry so much about what today's extreme porn is doing to young minds. So glad my son is gay and I don't have to fear he'll be persuaded strangling women is ok!

[Kaye McIntosh 🟩⬜🟪 @kayewrites]

@Justabaker17 @JoCostello20 I agree with keeping women safe but we do need to fight to change the structures that enable male violence & change those men we can/educate those who will listen. Many of us have sons/partners/brothers - we can't give up on them and we'll never persuade many women to do so

[Kaye McIntosh 🟩⬜🟪 @kayewrites]

@Women___Exist @JoCostello20 Exactly

[Kaye McIntosh 🟩⬜🟪 @kayewrites]

@George_Osborne why does @britishmuseum not reply to accessibility queries? I emailed a week ago asking whether I can visit with a mobility scooter - not clear from your website. No reply. The access phone no. does not connect, the main no. has no relevant option or human - help!

@BBCr4today please stop politicians misleading the public that PIP is unemployment benefit. It is not! People in work receive PIP. It is there to contribute a little towards the extra costs of disability, which are estimated as £1k/month on average (transport, equipment, etc)
