This is screaming The ECHR called us out earlier this week better double down and spit this out quick.

You know rather than the sensible option which would be to pause.

Our EHRC is nothing but a sham.

Tomorrow marks six months since the Supreme Court judgment in For Women Scotland Ltd vs Scottish Ministers and six weeks since our draft code of practice for services, public functions, and associations was submitted to the Minister for Women and Equalities.

And they lose it because they have got absolutely no coherent argument!

And also the ‘you’re not a women so you’re not to be taken seriously’ pish.

Ok then well you aren’t trans!

Neither is Wes Streeting, so we shall be having the puberty blockers reinstated any day now.

See how that works Carole!

I love when he gets these people on the ropes. They lose it.

‘I don’t hear her talking about women’s rights though, I just hear her talking about trans people!’

My faith and love for Zack Polanski grows with each day! 💚

Carole Malone, "Youu can't say what women's rights are because you're not a woman"

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"

You can almost see the ‘oh fuck’ in her eyes the minute it’s mentioned.

She had to be incredibly nieve to think it wouldn’t be though.

#PronounsDay

Its international pronouns day, so If you’re ever unsure or don’t know someone’s pronouns - just ask!

Its as simple as that ❤️

A blue and white name tag reads: "Hello my name is Bear. my pronouns are He/Him," with the name and pronouns in large pink text.

Same doll, but as David said it’s usually only a matter of days before rumour is fact with this show.

Hopefully this will be the first instance of it not being the case.

BearOfScots🎃🐾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @bearofscots.bsky.social · 3h

You’ve more faith than me doll,I honestly believe they wouldn’t have the balls to come at her at all.

She’s been described as ‘very, very involved’ & selected the creative team.

They’ve said ‘she’s the right to express her beliefs’

If they could read the room it wouldn’t be happening at all.

Iconic behaviour from Tilda Swinton, play a trans character, wear a “Protect the Dolls” tee, then toddle off to star in J.K. Rowling’s new Harry Potter show.

Nothing says allyship like helping bankroll the nation’s favourite transphobe. Stunning scenes of solidarity if this happens! 🙄

Stunning!

David, The King of Kemptown @davidbtn2.bsky.social · 4h

As we know, it's usually only a matter of days between rumour and fact with this tv show, but this is an even more bizarre piece of casting, if true.

One of Swinton's most famous roles was of a man becoming a woman (Orlando). She later went on to play a role...

When it was announced to be happening though I’m sure her involvement was announced along side the now.

Nope they say something like ‘increasing membership numbers and polls mean it’s more relevant to the country to have reform on’.

Well the same really should be true of the greens now. When you’ve had every other leader on there was no excuse.

A trans Royal Mail worker who was bullied, harassed & assaulted by colleagues has just won a tribunal for sex discrimination.💕🏳️‍⚧️

Major bloody news, yet silence from BBC, ITV, Guardian etc.

If Forstater or Rowling got looked at by a trans person it’d be front page for weeks. The silence says it all.

I mean I guess she could have said no, but it’s just so bizarre when in the space of a year you’ve had a film out where you sang, an album release, and other film due.

It just reads nah you’d sing if asked doesn’t it?

What do you mean you have a vocal powerhouse like Cynthia Erivo on your show and she’s not been asked to sing?

But like what do you mean?
