Well maybe there's a God above, but all I ever learned from love, was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya.

Starmer saying the next PM will inherit a country that is 'fairer' than the one he inherited 2 years ago. In the one Starmer inherited, trans people could use public toilets.

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS. These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st). Forced medical detransition. This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

Recent footage circulating online shows Dutch police smashing a pregnant Palestinian woman violently into the ground in a refugee centre, here in the Netherlands. Pigs are pigs, no matter where you find them. Especially the ones who get to train with the fucking genocidal pigs in israel and the US.

🚨DR UK's Statement on the EHRC's New Code of Practice "We are appalled at implications that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead. We will not be used as a loophole in the wider erosion of trans rights." Full statement👇 www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/disabil...
Disability Rights UK’s Statement on the EHRC’s New Code of Practice
As the makers of the original RADAR key and custodian of the National Key Scheme, Disability Rights UK issues our unequivocal solidarity with trans people, who should not be forced to choose between risking harassment in public facilities – or not using them at all.

We are appalled at implications from the Code that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead. It is a vain attempt to get two marginalised groups to blame one another for our lack of facilities, when the blame lies firmly at the feet of policymakers. We will not fall for it. We will not be used as a ‘loophole’ in the wider erosion of trans rights.

Our RADAR key scheme began in 1981, rooted in the understanding that accessible facilities can be the difference between living the lives we deserve – socialising, travelling and working – and complete social exclusion.  

Our community knows how it feels to be scapegoated simply for trying to access the necessities we need to live. Trans rights do not come at the expense of Disabled, nor anyone else’s.

As is clear from this Code of Practice, it sets a dangerous precedent for the erosion of other protected characteristics. If the Equality Act can be up for debate in this arena, who is to say this will not be the case when it comes to disability in the near future? 

As a result, the Disabled-led movement must make a clear stand against this ruling, not to mention because 52% of trans people are Disabled themselves.

These people are heroes, there's a non zero chance they get boarded, lined up on deck and executed like they did to the Mavi Marmara in 2010. None of us are free until Palestine is free ✊

As an anthropologist, if the only thing I ever did all day was remind people that before the privatization and commodification of land humans had way more free time and peace of mind, it would still not do a dent in how deep this myth has burrowed into people's colonized minds like a parasite

You know what? Fuck it. I don't care what the consequences of my transition in this cursed timeline is. All my life I dreamed of living as the woman I knew I was and I was denied. Now I live authentically and I smile about that every single day. What can they do to me that removes that?

No genocide has been so confessed to as it actually happened. No genocide has been so evidenced by both victims and perpetrators as it actually happened. This devastating report underlines why every facilitator, every cheerleader, of Israel's genocide must be held to account.
