We stand in solidarity with our trans siblings and are united in our anger at the Supreme Court ruling & EHRC update.

Trans, non-binary and intersex people are facing exclusion from basic aspects of public life.

Please read this thread that contains recommendations and calls to action.
Black text on background of Trans Solidarity Flag: Fossil Free Books stands in solidarity with our trans siblings. We are united in our anger at the Supreme Court ruling and EHRC update.

Rather than providing “clarity”, this ruling and the EHRC interim update are causing confusion, uncertainty and fear. 

They have also given strength to the authoritarian, sexist campaign for the persecution and ostracism of trans women. 

Trans, non-binary and intersex people – including bookworkers – are facing exclusion from basic aspects of public life.

I will never, ever understand people who put alignment with institutions and literary organisations before Gaza. Who trade silence for opportunity. Who publish so many words in their books but, when it comes down to it, truly say nothing at all.

It was a great and timely reminder that our published work is out in the world making essential connections, even if we don't see it. Amazing to think of those books travelling to Finland. Also to see my poetry being taught in good company with @alycia.bsky.social and @reshmaruia.bsky.social.

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up.

I’ll add more as I find them.

No transphobic court ruling, no bigot in charge of NHS, no billionaire media can indefinitely hold back the fierce tides of love and joy and courage that is queer community and solidarity. These are the desperate gasps of a dying era, one we will survive.

Love & solidarity, today and every day 🏳️‍⚧️

The boundaries of womanhood have always been policed & politicised by the powerful & narrow minded: we have, & we will continue to, dismantle their world. We will make it new.

Beyond headlines & hate are people, trans & nonbinary people, whose very existence expands, reimagines & enriches our world

The Supreme Court sided with FWS.

But it didn’t hear from a single trans person.
This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It puts trans rights back 20 years.

We won't stop fighting for trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️

Every climate justice writer belongs in their union.

The Society of Authors claims to be committed to sustainability. But climate justice is about more than sustainable sources of paper – it’s about power. In calling for individual authors to hold their publishers to account, the SoA is… [1]
A bright purple background has text reading "Every climate justice writer belongs in their union' in shiny holographic sticker style writing. Below it sits the Fossil Free Books logo and smaller text that reads: "Join the Society of Authors as a Full Member by Wed 30th Apr to vote in this year's Management Committee elections'

growing up is realising that the better your activism & organising & advocacy work is for your CV, the less effective it is at changing the status quo of systemic oppression

I have a new poem up in @anthro-poetry.bsky.social 💙

Inspired by the work of Sara Ahmed, 'Encounters' reflects on the doubling, dividing, stretching, and contracting of migrant bodies as they move from place to place, room to room, stanza to stanza.

It's wrong to send Americans to an overseas megaprison. It's wrong to send non-Americans to an oversea megaprison. It's wrong whether they committed a crime or not. It's wrong whether they have been sentenced for a crime or not. Cruel and unusual punishment is wrong. Concentration camps are wrong.
