Go on whilst having your coffee add your name.

Takes less than a minute & it feels good to do good.

If only mothers could do what fathers for justice did.

They can't because they are taking care of children & experiencing lawfare (further abuse).

There needs to be training at all levels regarding domestic abuse & courts shouldn't be another stick to continue harming people.

Legal aid has a high bar to get.

There needs to be proof of abuse.

The person must have low finances. Less than 3K in savings (cars count towards that sum).
Low wage, & in-depth look at all finances.

The reason most end up in family court is due to abuse, not because of legal aid.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Today, the counterprotesters have started giving out leaflets.

This is because yesterday they managed to talk someone out of going to FiLiA, and they felt that leaflets could communicate such messages more effectively.

They have also started giving out stickers promoting trans joy.
FILIA calls itself "Europe's largest feminist conference."

In reality, it is a hub for all the worst and most authoritarian politics that hides under the feminist label. FiLiA's approach is not feminist, it is cruel, rigid, and hurts the people most vulnerable under patriarchy.

Anti-trans politics

FILIA advertises more events and speakers which focus on transgender people than any other topic. This includes a workshop for individuals to learn how to set up groups to exclude transgender people, and an event celebrating the recent supreme court ruling that threatens to push trans people out of public life, and has already increased harassment and violence faced by trans people.

Real feminists understand that transphobia is a manifestation of patriarchy, and that liberation for women cannot be seperated from liberation for trans people.

Anti-sex work politics

FiliA advocates the Nordic Model - where selling sex is legal but buying it is a crime. Compared to completely decriminalising sex work, the Nordic Model results in less abuse being reported, and more sex workers being targetted by police.

Opposing adult content online, including in video games

FILIA signed a recent petition that resulted in hundreds of video ga being banned from online distributors, and have invited the organ Collective Shout to speak at the conference. This goes against TRANS artistic freedom.

When people are plastering flags up to intimidate it's not the time to put more up.

Deciphering who's put up which flag isn't something people would see. Just more flags.

There will be a time & a way just maybe bolder.

A stark difference in the design to highlight the movement & some time.

Transphobia should be shunned. Human rights matter.

A group advocating for removal of rights should be outside, or keep their views in the shadows & to themselves.

"Can the greens – and the left more widely - now find the courage to bring those women inside rather than leaving them out in the cold?"

Nope they can stay outside trying to convince people that only some human rights matters.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social shared this, I hope he's not letting them in.

Some interesting thoughts from Claire.

If you wanted Claire's analysis of the data from last year she wrote about it here:

Zarah this is an ego trip party. Filled with egotistical men, transphobia & landlords.

Just join the greens.

The cheek of someone who lives off the state, literally making billions out of loaning out English land

Imagine if that money was in the English people's hands. Childcare would be acceptable to all & screens unnecessary

There shouldnt be a monarchy, the country pays for their children's everything

I'll have a proper read at lunch time thank you

This isn't going to slow the flags everywhere.

I understand the idea, to reclaim it. Not like this. A unifying image but not this one.

The stickers could well be used by Tommy Robinson's supremacist lot.

Me too, people trying to provide aid being treated like terrorists by a genocidal state.

Genuine madness & very dark times.
