if any member of the cast in one of these upcoming harry potter projects would truly like to apologise to trans people for their involvement they can start by paying me £300 to cover the cost of a private blood test that I can’t get at my gp now because they refuse shared care agreements now.

so the new archbishop seems broadly okay but her stance on queer marriage is not great she said that “marriage is between one man and one woman for life”. wild stance for anyone in THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND to have. we do not have a fucking leg to stand on.

Gay men in the UK only have an equal age of consent because the gov was forced to by the European Court of Human Rights (implementing the European Convention on Human Rights).
They say they want to remove protections from people they deem as “other” but they want to remove human rights from us all.

Queer writers are standing shoulder-to-shoulder with their Trans+ family, friends, and colleagues - and against the creeping normalisation of transphobia.
When figures like John Boyne use their platform to legitimise their transphobic rhetoric, they doesn’t just negatively impact Trans+ people

The reality of the rhetoric around trans people on this country is that I went from using the gents toilets pretty much all the time in 2022 to never using them in public in 2024.

once again reminding everyone that st valentine was put to death for performing marriage ceremonies for people who could not legally marry under roman statute at the time. the best way to honour him is by campaigning for and preserving the right to marry for any consenting adults who love each other

I'm gonna die mad at the fact that we call non-prescription medicine, the kind you can get anywhere in the store, "over the counter." But the medicine that the pharmacist literally has to hand me over a counter? That stuff is we classify as "not available over the counter." Fuck you!!
