Keir boy is a barrister and the son of a toolmaker, he’s capable of drafting any necessary SI to overturn that fucking judgment within minutes and signing it himself. But he is a bigot.
Let’s be clear about who is responsible for trans girls being excluded from the Guides.

Keir Starmer
100%

He could have overturned the injustice of the flawed Supreme Court any time, but CHOSE not to. So he is responsible for these girls being harmed. There’s a word for adults who harm children.

The lovely Beverley Knight has ruled up the right wing numpties with this very simple message.
Lots of people ranting about protecting women from ‘boat people’ yet most domestic and sexual abuse is by white British men. Oh I forgot, it’s only a concern IF an attacker isn’t white.

8 years ago, 'gender critical' transphobes launched a campaign against the Girl Guides, because they refused to exclude trans girls.

A devastated mum of a young trans girl wrote this...

Today, the bullying, braying, bigots got their wish! 😪
They are NOT "protecting girls" - it's bigotry and hate!

Tomorrow, following a short but successful propaganda campaign, a UK Newspaper will publish an open letter asking Girl Guiding UK to suspend their policy of inclusion for All Girls, including those…

Today is World AIDS Day.

2025 marks 20 years since my life hung by a thread for several months when I was hospitalised with AIDS-defining illness.

On this pivotal day, my emotions always flit between joy and sadness.

It's been 38 years since the first World AIDS Day. There have been so many advancements in HIV since then, however HIV remains a significant global public health issue. Please consider a donation to support our work https://www.aidsmap.com/about-us/support-us-world-aids-day

Today is my 14th #WorldAIDSDay since I was diagnosed in August 2011.

The news either side of the Atlantic couldn't be more different right now.

Whilst the UK govt has launched a new #HIVActionPlan today, Trump's White House is telling US govt employees not to even mention #HIV.

We cannot go back.

One thing I don't think some cis allies quite get is, when someone says cis women need spaces away from trans women THEY'RE CALLING US RAPISTS.

There's no way to sugar-coat that.

Don't frame any of this as about competing rights. You're calling us rapists too.

There is a well coordinated national campaign targeting a single trans professor at Oklahoma University to get her fired. It's part of a broader campaign to push trans people out of public life entirely. It was never about sports.

There's not a single anti-trans campaigner or group with a major platform on twitter who haven't posted *horrifying* things and it's a stain on our entire media ecosystem that not a single major outlet has done even basic reporting of it.
I thought I could not be shocked by what prominent transphobes feel able to say about me. Turns out I was wrong.

Here is Richard Dunstan, a prominent commentator closely associated with the Sex Matters charity, speculating that I enjoyed being sexually assaulted as a child.

Partial MRI would take 20-30 mins, full spine incl. brain is 40-50 mins. So, potentially he lay there perfectly still for up to an hour and had no idea why he was there or what they were looking at? 🤯

100% they would have told him, so either he forgot, he's lying, or it didn't happen.
TRUMP: If they want to release my MRI it's ok w/me. It's perfect like my phone call where I got impeached

Q: What part of your body were they were looking at?

TRUMP: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn't the brain bc I took a cognitive test & aced it, which you would be incapable of doing

The intent of all of this is increasingly clear - it is to hound not only every trans person out of public life, but force every person who is not explicitly anti-trans either out of employment or into silence.

Magazine that accuses anyone who even dares to think about criticising the Israeli government of ‘antisemitism’ apparently fine with Farage not apologising for allegedly saying ‘H*tler was right’ and making gas chamber noises to descendants of holocaust survivors. Through the looking glass stuff.

Media debates around Farage’s alleged behaviour at school have centred on ‘does it matter it was ages ago?’. That’s the wrong question. The question is what does his pathetic non-apology show about his inability to recognise the lasting impact of racism and his immature, non-statesmanlike attitude?

If YourParty doesn’t even allow a member of a marginalized minority to name the discrimination they are subject to, that is not socialism.

Socialism means supporting the most disadvantaged and the poorest, not taking sides with bigots.

That is fascism.
The delegate at the YourParty Conference who was censured by the chair for using the word “transphobia” is trans.

This is EVEN worse than Labour, a trans person can’t even call out transphobia! Ridic.

I expect every news platform, plus every “free speech” campaigner to be up in arms about this…
