Specialist in international refugee law, human rights policy, comms and advocacy. Also posting about being autistic and LGBTQIA+ rights. (They/them). My views, no-one else would want them.

Sadly it is official, my current employment contract finishes at the end of March. It has been a fantastic three years at Migrant Voice. If you, or someone you know, knows of job opportunities for an experienced policy, advocacy and comms person, across multiple sectors, please do let me know.
A week and a bit into the job search, so obviously going to keep re-upping this. Pretty sure that this is the worst time of year to be looking for jobs in my area, but if you are looking for a Comms, policy, advocacy person, or know someone who is, please do let me know or share.

This may sound old fashioned and a bit redundant, but for the love of God please read a judgement, then double check you have understood it, before commenting on it on social media.

This framing from The Times – focusing exclusively on employers – I think means that even they have realised just how significant the High Court decision is when it comes to trans inclusion by service providers. Time for the Code of Practice to be sent back.

Sorry, I am still trying to figure out if the headline writer here is hoping someone says "no".

I have no idea what roller-bladied is compared to "roller-bladed", which puts it much on the same level as my knowledge of olympic level figure skating, or any figure skating, or just any skating for that matter. I thought they looked okay and good luck to them

I feel supremely confident having roller-bladied 20 years ago that I can comment on exactly what the olympic athletes competing in figure skating could have done better.

I cannot put my thoughts accurately into words without getting a life time ban from all social media, and possibly prison time. I hate these people so much. They are pure evil. They get their rocks off making kids suffer.

I hate these people with a fire to rival the very pits of hell they will hopefully burn in. This isn't isolated though. Around the world, including the UK where I am, immigration enforcement is fuelled by people who just want to bully others, to be cruel for cruelty sake.

These people are sick. This is just pure cruelty for the sake of pathetic little racists getting their rocks off at the suffering of children.
We have seen this mentality and behaviour before in history.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Reform vision for British women - have children as early as possible (wouldn’t want you to be educated or have a career, now). If you don’t we’ll tax you and your stupid barren womb. But don’t have any more than 2 kids or we’ll take aware your state benefits.
Or, hear me out, maybe women don't need lectures by the likes of Matt Goodwin?

Goodwin's decline from pretty mediocre academic to racist right wing incel isn't new or particularly original. It's also not the fault of women, migrants or anyone else. It is a tale as old as time, a sad, arrogant, loser trying to blame their deficiencies on everyone else. So perfect for Reform.

This is horrendous, I am so so sorry. All of this is aimed at making trans and non-binary individuals feel like they have to almost "self exclude" from society. It is so wrong.
