It's not coincidental that a white dude can be a transphobic piece of shit over and over again (JS) and maintain his social media platform but a Black man makes one questionable joke about a white dude who called for the euthanasia of queer people being killed and the Black dude gets full nuked.

ahead. And it's something that nobody can take away from me (but they will still try to).
Which reminds me, it's time to plan my next outing.

I was here, on my own surrounded by nature, sun on my back and unapologetically me - something I could never say when I used to get outdoors before. This picture is emblematic - a green tunnel, walking from woods - hidden, secret almost but within 25 metres the openess of the south downs stretched

Back in July I started walking again, not in the literal sense, but hiking. And there was a particular moment, when I took this picture on the South Downs of England that I couldn't stop smiling - the sort of smile that makes people think you are on drugs

Made my Great Grandma's Soda Bread this morning, She didn't like me very much - but what a woman, born under the rule of Queen Victoria, Widowed at 22, died at 88, always called me by my Gaelic (dead)name. Anyway, the bread is as epic as it was then. Go raibh suaimhneas síoraí uirthi

Professional transphobes when they get any criticism from trans people:

This is what the RFU did when they banned trans women, without any evidence of harms, injuries, complaints or issues. They did a 'gamewide survey' which no womens clubs I could find knew about, but all the anti trans bigots did. It's manufactured consent every time.

I've been swimming at the Mens' Pond for 35 years.
Again and again swimmers at the Womens' Pond have made it clear they want it to remain trans inclusive.
But the Corporation of London is consulting again so do fill this in and say that you want the Ponds to remain trans inclusive

The Gender Critical have already inundated this survey with their disgusting views on banning trans people from using the ponds.

Would be a shame if we inundated with trans positive views on not banning trans people.

As a frequent user of the ponds, it disgusts me that terfs are taking a beautiful place and pouring their hate into it. Please fill in this survey if you want to protect this space for all women and make trans women feel. PS the ducks think terfs suck. And the friendly fox. And the crows.

Can we stop saying "non-binary people are valid" please. "Non-binary people are non-binary" is the equivalent. Every time this is said at an event or by an org I and many of the other non-binary people I know cringe and feel immediately uncomfortable. People have been saying this for years.

OTD 1999: A Labour Govt loses its legal battle to *keep* the ban on gay and bi people serving in armed forces.
After spending taxpayers’ £millions and 2 ½ years *defending* discrimination, Labour later claimed credit for being forced by the courts to stop inequality. Shameless!

We're cracking down on migrants working illegally as food delivery riders.
We'll share asylum accommodation locations with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats so they can take action if riders are staying there.
We will do what it takes to ensure fairness for British people.
