Progress.
From 2018 to now after follow a solid plan for almost a year.
I’m so proud of how far I’ve come and can’t wait to see how much further I can go.

Anyone can say what they want. But what you say has consequences.

Beliefs are protected. If they manifested those ‘gender critical’ beliefs in a way that discriminates against trans people, that is not protected.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Racism, transphobia and homophobia are not protected characteristics; nor should expressing such views be free from consequences
If your ‘belief’ relies on denying someone else’s humanity, it’s not a right; it’s a prejudice.

M&S have responded to our letter regarding the complaint about a supposedly trans employee.
Yet more evidence that anti-trans obsessives lied about the incident to stoke hostility towards trans people.
We all have a duty to tackle such mis(dis)information to protect our community.

Our letter to Marks and Spencer is now live.
Please share to show your support for all trans & gender non-conforming employees. We will not bow to pressure from anti-trans obsessives & lobby groups. Trans people pose no inherent risk to anyone and deserve basic dignity & respect in the workplace.

Hi Rachel

We’re looking to write to M&S about this. May I ask who you sent your correspondence to.

Thomas Willett @thomaswillett.bsky.social · Aug 7

If anything, this manufactured M&S trans panic lays bare the absurdity & cruelty of anti-trans obsessives. Spreading wilful misinformation about a non-incident to criminalise an innocent worker simply for appearing to be trans is both disgraceful and dangerous.

Rumour has it, if you open a packet of Percy Pigs, JK Rowling appears, calls you a predator and arrests you.

JK Rowling threatened to sue a 20-something twitter user with 200 followers for comparing her ideology to the Taliban. (I've seen the threatening letter her US lawyers sent myself. It's what caused me to throw out my HP books).

Chris Scott (he/him) @chrisdonia.bsky.social · Aug 6

I'm sorry, how many times has JK set lawyers on people because they criticised her?

Screenshot of a tweet by JK Rowling, "Freedom of speech means freedom to cause offence. The number of supposed liberals who’ve fallen at this most basic hurdle, because for the first time in their lives they risked losing the approval of their tribe, has been staggering."
