Groups like For Women Scotland justify the egregious harm they cause trans people by saying they don't believe trans people exist/are real. This allows them to discriminate against and bully trans people with impunity.

Trans people are real though. Trans people exist.

I am a trans woman who has outlived Charlie Kirk, a fascist calling for violence against me, women, BIPOC, Jews, immigrants and school children and I think that is beautiful.

Despite the recent furore over trans inclusion at M&S, Sophie Molly’s bra fitting at Marks and Spencer was an entirely uneventful affair.

Fully endorse this, and every trans, LGBTQ+, race and disability org should do the same.

Personally Im going one step further - I will not support, donate or promote any trans or LGBTQ+ org that doesnt follow suit.

Mr Khan: show your true flag: declare London a Sanctuary city and ban the Gender Critical Ideology Movement in the City as the fascist body that it is. Distance yourself from a Government hell-bent on remaining in the culture wars for the foreseeable future, and cosying-up to hate on a daily basis.

We talk about the mass lobby of parliament, Sophie's shoe size, TFC's latest threats and a lovely gift @abztranaction.bsky.social were given (that's why I've flagged it as sponsored, but it's not really sponsored)
