Have to admit that exact thought crossed my mind too. Utterly vile. Imagine one of them being in your family 🤢

I’m so angry and upset. These women do not speak for me.

In dark moments I’m relieved that Alice isn’t here to witness it, for how could I protect her? All a mother wants is to keep their child safe.

Then I feel broken that I even thought that.

The level of monstering going on here slurring an entire section of the public as predators. This is Germany 1933 all over again.

🚨This is an emergency🚨

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.

"As of May, 4,730 local children were living in temporary accommodation — an increase of 75% in the past five years. Over half (52%) of these were aged nine and under." [Belfast Telegraph]

This will be Stormont 'just protecting children' as usual.

Glasgow Gender Clinic now has a waiting time of 224 years. The average across the UK is now 25 years.

This segregated system isn’t working and is wasting millions. The NHS has been told time and again - informed consent now.

This amazing article from @vic-parsons.bsky.social via @wearequeeraf.com shows the absolute criminal state of trans healthcare in the UK.

Scotland has a 224 year wait for a first appointment. Yes, you read that right.

This was the first test that had many trans people worried the Greens would fold. That they didn't is an excellent sign and a rare show of actual support for trans people from a political party that isn't just empty words.

More of this @zackpolanski.bsky.social ❤️

🚨 NEW | Anti-trans hate group "Green Women's Declaration" have been formally barred from Green Party conference.

The group sought a stall at conference, but their bid was denied by the party. Green leader Zack Polanski recently affirmed the party's support for trans rights.

My child ended up with an eating disorder because she refused to eat or drink before or during school because of that fear. Things are drastically worse now. My heart breaks for trans kids in school.
