Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

EXCLUSIVE: At least 20 incidents linked to anti-migrant protests, racism and the far right in the last two months have exposed rising political tensions across Scotland
They include attacks on mosques, hotels, alleged assaults – and the jailing of a neo-Nazi for slashing a student with a knife

the notion that trans women have an advantage in sports is entirely made up and has no basis in science. it's based on the notion that trans women are cross-dressing cis men
what little peer reviewed science that has been done shows that, if anything, trans women have a disadvantage over cis women

Keir Starmer is the most regressive and bigoted prime minister of my lifetime
Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

I want to be clear: This is sexual harassment.
The ruling and EHRC have validated sexually harassing trans women as something 'reasonable' to do. State mandated sexual harassment.
The entire TransActual report is full of stories like this.

I hate this fucking country.
I hate this fucking country.
!["I went swimming at [X] swimming pool. I am a trans woman trying to adhere to the EHRC interim update, so I used the male change room. No other space was available. They only have open plan change and no separate third spaces. I had to strip naked in front of a room full of men. I was completely naked. Many men saw me. Some I guess will have assumed that I am trans, others reported me to security who ejected me from the male change rooms and then questioned me on my medical background and genital configuration.
I felt scared. The fact that this is happening to me regularly while I try to adhere to the ruling means that I am repeatedly and protractedly in fight or flight stress situations. I feel like I am frazzled all the time. I am constantly anxious. This incident though made me feel really violated. It made me feel vulnerable to another sexual or violent assault. It made me feel like I have no say over who gets to see my body and no bodily rights anymore. I feel violated. I feel degraded, mocked, worthless. Worse yet, I feel that this is the intention and I feel hopeless."

I very agree with this, but it has to be recognised as work.
This has consequences for cis allies. One of your jobs right now is to ensure your trans friends, family, colleagues have as little unnecessary crap on their plates as possible.

Hard fact here: if we're going to fight back against rampant transphobia in this country, we're all going to have to be a little bit brave in kicking up a stink sometimes even if we'd personally rather just hide.

The effects of section 28 took so long to recover from that I was in high school from 2007 until 2012 and there was still no out LGBT people in either my year, the year below me, the year above me or 2 years above me until after we had all left
If you're too young to remember section 28, this is what it means:
I was at high school from 1989-95. There were ~250 people in my year. There were no (0) out LGBT+ people in my year until 6th year when one very camp guy transferred in. (I don't remember if he was actually out, either)
