Today’s High Court ruling found trans employees may be segregated in British changing rooms and toilets. I’ve written to my union, @actorsequity.bsky.social , to ask how we’ll be fighting to ensure govt guidance doesn’t permit that. British actors deserve dignity at work and that means *all* of us.
But devastatingly, this ruling also found that trans people may be expected to use a third toilet when at work. This risks outing them, violating their privacy, and is unworkable for many employers. [2/3]

Thankfully someone is calling out this bullshit immigration trope that’s repeatedly trotted out to make people think immigrants are a threat.
Don’t be fooled. Immigration isn’t the problem. Take a read, it’s clear what *is* a problem.

People who see “voting isn’t how you get real change, just choosing the conditions you organize under” as arguing for voter apathy are telling on themselves that they only see politics as something to do occasionally on a ballot, not built every day through community, solidarity & collective action.
