I'm definitely not a Man City fan in any shape or form but forgetting football tribalism, Kerstin Casparij is definitely a very decent human being.

This is brilliant. Every time some eejit tries to silence @zackpolanski.bsky.social and put him in a box, he just has none of it and punches back with the truth. They really hate it!

Keep going Zack! 💚

Zack Polanski, "You're not trans are you. We can all say you're not that thing so you can't have an opinion" 🔥

"You can still have an opinion from listening to people"

This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.

tell your MP to say no to segregation. The proposed bathroom ban will deny everyone the basic right to privacy and dignity: we should all be able to use the loo without fear or discrimination. Write to your MP:

Yep, creating official pink lists has never been used against people in the past has it...

Saw this on the WhatTheTrans!? Discord server.

If you're thinking of escaping to Germany it looks like they are proposing creating a list of everyone who has used their self-id laws that will be available on all government digital systems.

3rd sick day in a row (1st sick days since 2021).
Since Sunday night been alternating between shivering/shaking and sweating and a headache like someone is sticking their fingers in my head plus muscle aches (plus bad stomach). Had a flu jab 8 days ago. Just my luck to get it before it's effective.
