I really struggle to understand what these anti-trans people have ever done for women in Scotland. The fight that matters to me is the one that ensures women aren't immolated or strangled by men in their lives. ✍️ @heraldscotland

Foam clumps are dotted about Sauchiehall Street, clinging to parked diggers and rolling down pavestones. It serves as a reminder of just how important nightlife is to the city. And how liberating clubbing with your friends is. @heraldscotland.bsky.social 🫧
