1/ Today is #transdayofvisibility and I am sending so much love and solidarity to my trans siblings and friends 🫂 🩷🩵🏳️‍⚧️. I’m sorry that our society and so many of our politicians, media and others with power and money seem so hell bent on demonising and attacking you.

Now we see the President flouting international law and sanctioning state killing of his own people - whilst still continuing to participate in international sports… As a global community, it is vital that we send a clear message that Trump's actions will not go unchallenged

I have signed my name to the motion demanding FIFA expel the USA from this year's World Cup. Last year I led a successful campaign to stop Trump speaking in UK Parliament because of his misogyny, racism and xenophobia and his previous comments on women, refugees and torture.

Edinburgh is getting a brand new concert hall, the Dunard Centre - for the first time in 100 years, supported by SNP Scottish Government funding. What a delightful rendition of Caledonia by Dougie MacLean with pupils from Broughton Primary to mark the moment we broke ground. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30. Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50. I’m 58 now. HIV treatment works. Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex. Ensure HIV treatment for all. End HIV stigma. #WorldAIDSDay

Me on a candlelit vigil for AIDS in 1987.

Me last week. Looking pretty healthy for 58 (28 years living with HIV).

Such desperately sad news, John and his wife Lynn, were an iconic pair that I looked up to when I started my career at GMTV. John was a phenomenal journalist and presenter. Much love to his friends and family. apple.news/AGNTSUCn6T0S...

I’ve signed this letter calling for full parliamentary scrutiny of the EHRC’s guidance. Trans people deserve clarity, dignity, and safe access to services - not uncertainty and exclusion. Parliament must ensure that any guidance reflects lived experience and protects everyone’s rights.

While bills rise and Westminster sits back, I am focusing on your priorities. We ended peak rail fares to make your commute cheaper - putting more money in your pocket. That’s the difference the SNP makes. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In fact, funnily enough, this judgment just issued today "The applicant also complains that he was forced to repeatedly and involuntarily disclose his gender identity every time he had to present his identity documents: Violation of Article 8" (T.H. v Czech Republic, no. 33037/22)

Not clear whether she means: 1. We don’t agree with the large volume of ECtHR case law on this subject or 2. There is no ECtHR case law to this effect Either way, it makes her entirely unfit for her post.

For anyone who doesn't know "Article 8" is the European Convention on Human Rights right to a private life This is the head of the EHRC saying that she does not believe that *anyone* has the right to privacy when it comes to being trans or cis Brazenly immoral, legally untrue

Very much agree, Sarah Owen doing her best but Falkner is an expert at obfuscation and avoidance, sadly.

I think Sarah's doing a very good job of chairing this, she's just essentially told Falkner to shut up with talking about things irrelevant to the questions asked.

Rachel Taylor says many of her constituents are asking about how to set up trans-inclusive women's organisations. She says that EHRC guidance says people can't, but Lord Sumption says they can. Are her constituents allowed?

Rachel Taylor asks if parliament should legislate to bring further clarity on trans people's legal rights. Falkner waffles but says no, that the Supreme Court has brought clarity and the EHRC should be able to provide guidance on it.

Falkner's now talking about the consultation on the EHRC guidance following the supreme court ruling. Says they're having stakeholder meetings with 'the groups most affected by the judgement'. Any trans people been invited?

1) Sitting in the Women & Equalities committee watching as Baroness Falkner can’t answer basic questions on her own rushed out guidelines that followed The Supreme Court Ruling. Total car crash.

This is a really beautifully written piece by Labour MP Euan Stainbank. Getting to the heart of the trauma and indignities trans and non binary people now face following the Supreme Court judgement. Brave and hugely appreciated by many in the community. www.falkirkherald.co.uk/news/opinion...
