About me:
I don’t do DM’s
Nor am I looking for a relationship
I keep my money for the things I require & desire
Flattery gets you nowhere
Feel free to unfollow me if you can’t stick to my rules
I know how to block & I’m not afraid to do so if you’re disrespectful
👩🏼‍💻

She’s woven from
stories older than stars.
An old soul that has
been places that

Partly because so many formerly leftwing parties have turned to the right, there's a lot of confusion about what right and left mean in politics. I hope this helps:

The right defends economic power.

The left resists economic power.

Who were the Cathars? Inside the religious group that dared to challenge the Catholic Church

In the 13th century, thousands in France were investigated, massacred, or even burned at the stake by the Catholic Church.

East Anglia Bylines @eastangliabylines.co.uk · 5d

Between 1645 and 1647, more than 100 people in East Anglia were executed for witchcraft – most of them women.

Their only crime was being accused.

Stuart Burrell tells their story.

TransActual have put together these handy FAQs to respond to MPs (or anyone else) who is still struggling to get their head round why the EHRC’s draft Code of Practice would be so devastating for the trans community.
Feel free to share, download, print, whatever!
transactual.org.uk/wp-content/u...

FAQs in Response to the Draft EHRC Code of Practice and Supreme Court Ruling
We are calling for the EHRC’s “bathroom ban” to be scrapped, and the Code re-written to allow for trans inclusion in single sex services according to lived gender. Below are some common questions that might be raised by MPs (or others), and possible responses you can give to explain why this is needed.
QUESTION
“The Supreme Court ruling only affects those few thousand trans people who have Gender Recognition Certificates (GRCs). Otherwise, trans people retain all the rights and protections they have always had under the Equality Act 2010.”
RESPONSE
The Supreme Court ruling disapplies the effect of a GRC to the entirety of the Equality Act 2010. This means that there no longer exists any mechanism whatsoever for trans people to be legally recognised in their acquired gender under the UK’s most significant piece of equalities legislation. This not only affects those trans people who currently hold a GRC, but also the potentially hundreds of thousands of trans people who would wish to obtain a GRC in the future.
For this reason, ILGA-Europe removed all legal gender recognition points from the UK this year, meaning that the UK now sits at an all-time low on the ILGA-Europe Rainbow map.
There are many reasons why trans people do not apply, or have not yet applied for a GRC. Many report that the UK’s medicalised process for legal gender recognition remains humiliating, invasive and inaccessible for many. In this, the UK is out of step with international best practice, which recommends a model based on self-determination

RESPONSE
The Supreme Court ruling, as interpreted by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), does not just affect those with a GRC, but all those with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment.

A peculiar thing is
to be a person
made of both
hope and sorrow,
to hold light
in one hand,
dark in the other,
and not know
which to let go of.

This evening, I will serve as a witness to the nitrogen gas execution of Anthony Boyd, should it move forward. Take a moment to read this story about his legacy on death row. If the state executes Boyd, an eyewitness account will be added to this piece. www.treadbylee.com/p/hope-in-th...
