It's not illegal to use the right toilets and no one should adhere to Mary-Ann Stephenson's headmistressly call to "follow rules" that serve no good purpose, breach the UK's human rights obligations, will be bad for all women, and debase trans dignity. Make her appoint her sodding toilet police.

At a time where Labour and other parties are looking to roll back rights of minorities across the board, having a politician sit down, actually listen and take on board how they can advocate for trans and other marginalised communities is so important. The Greens give me so much hope for the future💚

"Jess O’Thomson of GLP argued that recent decisions by Girlguiding and the WI to exclude trans women were the result of “lobbying and legal threats” from groups “pressuring organisations on the basis that the case is closed, and exclusion is now legally required – when that is far from the case”

UK Labour are pandering to reform and petitioning the ECHR to help deportations by narrowing the definition of ‘inhuman and degrading treatment’. With Labours track record so far on human rights I don’t trust them not to go further. Vote for hope, join the greens 💚💚 @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Shocking but unsurprising to see two Labour MPs in front attempt to shout me down — for standing up for disabled people hit by cuts, kids pushed into poverty by the two-child benefit cap & pensioners who lost winter fuel payments.
I know whose side I’m on. Can they say the same?

It seems wrong that the head of the UK's "independent" EHRC hangs out with anti trans groups, then her organisation puts out discriminatory anti trans guidance 🤔
Feels like some sort of investigation or legal action maybe in order 🤔

The EHRC held a party where Baroness Falkner literally hugged all the big trans hate groups (who the EHRC has been in cahoots with). We need a public inquiry into all of these shenanigans. It’s pure corruption at the highest level. As was the UKSC.
