Aislinn @aislinnoc.bsky.social · 24/04/2025To return to my thread, now that I’m full of food. What does this mean in practice for the trans and trans ally community?

Aislinn @aislinnoc.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Back at work today, and full of thoughts about the Supreme Court judgment last week.

I’m going to try break down the legal principles. 3167
