Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the transgender lives lost to violence.

The Green Party stands shoulder to shoulder with transgender people in the face of increasing transphobic rhetoric in our society and politics.

The far right want you to believe that immigration causes an explosion of crime.

It's simply untrue.

Crime has gone down - and crucially, we are a markedly less violent society than we once were.

Alan Cumming on bathroom bills:

"Why on earth would a rapist go through the bother of pretending to be trans in a country that treats rapists better than trans people."

The EHRC – the body which is meant to protect our human rights – is proposing guidance which would turn the Equality Act into a bathroom ban. If this becomes law, it would force trans people out of public life.

And terrifyingly - this is all happening behind closed doors 🧵

Reform has lost 11 councillors and 2 MPs in a matter of months… and when I say ‘lost’ I mean, they’ve quit following rows, impropriety or inability to do their jobs.
So, if Brexit weren’t proof enough, then this barrelling shitshow should confirm forever that they should be nowhere near govt.

A Labour MP calling for trans women to be banned from parkrun, which, as the name suggests, is people non-competitively running around a park.

There are no winners in this event. There are no losers in this event - bar Jonathan Hinder MP, should he ever take part.

There is no separating the art from the artist. If you buy Harry Potter shit, you are funding transphobic campaigning. It’s that simple.
JK Rowling has emerged from the shadows as a funder of the anti-feminist biology is destiny movement.

Just ten years ago the UK was top of the list - the best place in Europe for LGBT rights. We are now 22nd

The only country to drop faster in one year than us is Hungary

The government needs to act in a major way before this becomes their entire legacy

Attacking the rights of a marginalised group isn’t a win for feminism.

Demanding that women be defined by our biology isn't a win for feminism.

The people driving this are not acting in the interests of women. They're taking us all backwards and ushering in the far right.

The response to yesterday’s ruling by terfs, the popping of champagne corks, the odious glee, shows that they were never afraid of trans people. No, they delight in our fear and our misery.

Refuse to be miserable. Find community. Love loudly and proudly. Laugh together. Share joy.

if your definition of woman doesn't include trans women then it is INCORRECT, and that is the only truth

jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.

yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.

no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

I share the deep disappointment in today's Supreme Court ruling, and the concerns about what this will mean for trans women going forward.

Today and every day, I stand in unwavering solidarity with the trans community.

We must never stop fighting for trans rights.
