His track record shows he just doesn't care Jolyon

He's willing to cause Trans+ people, their loved ones, and their friends the very worst kind of misery, heartache, and harm

Not reading it either, but worth noting: Bindel’s a Green Party member who often shows up at Feminist Greens events

Feminist Greens is an inclusive and intersectional special interest group - which makes it hard not to wonder if she’s only there to harvest material for her next hit piece 🥱

Winter’s coming, and London’s children will pay the price - yet again

Decades of Tory and Labour rule, and still the same story: protect the wealthy, damn the poor

Urgent winter clothing appeal for UK baby banks.

In 2024 charity distributed 6,752 coats, 14,163 pairs of shoes, 2,857 blankets, 1,472 items of bedding and 45,220 pairs of socks to families in need.

Low wages/benefits; high energy, water, grocery costs; unchecked profiteering take toll.

London baby banks appeal for urgent donations ahead of winter

Baby banks in London say supplies are running low due to more families facing increased financial pressures.

The lack of basic humanity some cisgender clinicians and researchers show toward Trans+ people is staggering

To them, Trans+ lives are just fodder for advancing their careers

Their lack of empathy
Their careerist cruelty
It’s utterly monstrous

They are monsters

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.

On a national stage, Kate Barker, CEO of the LGB Alliance, called Trans+ healthcare “grotesque”

When a charity leader uses such extreme and hostile language about life-saving care and Trans+ people, it raises serious questions about the group’s charity status and it's influence on government

"Having to battle with changes to her body without receiving the necessary preventative treatment, together with the many hurdles and setbacks, gradually eroded her belief that she would succeed and everything would be alright" – Senior Coroner Andrew Walker

The UK’s Trans healthcare scandal isn’t a complex issue

Her death was preventable

It was the result of a complete failure by cisgender policymakers and clinicians who willfully ignore expert warnings and lived experience

They are responsible for a system built to delay, deny, and destroy hope

Ofcom let GB News off the hook - even after finding them in breach

It’s a terrible look for Ofcom, and a betrayal of LGBTIQA+ communities

If regulators won’t act on anti-LGBTQ+ hate, advertisers can - and must

They have the power to make real change

Marty explains the why and how 👇🏼

Ofcom ruled GBNews breached code with queerphobic rhetoric

However, Ofcom did not use their sanctioning powers.

GB News comment about LGBTQ+ including 'paedos' in breach of Ofcom code

A GB News presenter saying “full inclusion of LGBTQ+ persons” at a church would “include paedos” breached the Broadcasting Code, Ofcom said.

Me hoping that you also get to discuss the very hard work many GPEW Trans+ folk and allies have put in to getting the party to where it is right now

We faced criticism but we refused to give up, we lobbied and persuaded countless people to join up and to vote for progressives like Zack

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA
