You don't have to be an activist or an expert on trans issues to know that exclusion doesn't speak for you. More than 110,000 women have already signed our letter because they want another voice to be heard: one of fairness, compassion and solidarity with the trans+ community. notinourname.org.uk

Two middle-aged women hug and smile. The quote says

“We need to join together to show that 'gender critical' anti-trans lobbyists do not speak for the majority."

These letters remind us that trans allyship isn't abstract, it's personal. It's choosing to stand with trans+ people through difficult times and making sure they know they're loved, respected and welcome. 💗 #WithTheT Add your voice ✍️ notinourname.org.uk

I'm so proud of you.

I can hardly imagine the journey you've taken to discover who you are and tell the people you love.
But I suppose it's been a difficult path, and you've came so far.

Please never forget that you are worthy and that you deserve to be loved. You are beautiful in so many ways.

Sincerely, Tina

Just to say - my family and I love you, we see you, we accept you and we stand with you.

Stay strong and know that you have allies who truly care x x x

I have so much respect for you and really appreciate the difficulties that many are experiencing because of ignorance and an unwillingness to learn about the realities for trans people.

Sending you my support and every hope that things change for the better.

The voices that seek to divide are not the only voices that exist. These messages are part of a growing chorus of women choosing compassion, solidarity and hope for the trans+ community. Add your voice ✍️ NotInOurName.org.uk #WithTheT

The world is a better place with you in it. Never forget your worth.

You are loved.

Never forget that you loved

We are so proud of you and your journey and understand how hard it’s been and continues to be day by day.

As proud Auntie of someone in the trans community just continue to stand proud and continue to be your amazing self.

Lots of love and respect xxxx

To the incredible trans community, including our son - I see you. I honour your courage. I am endlessly proud of you.
In a world that can feel loud, uncertain and sometimes unkind, your authenticity is an act of bravery. The way you continue to show up as yourselves, fully, honestly and without apology, inspires me more than you will ever know.
You are not a debate. You are not a headline. You are not a “topic”.
You are human.
You are loved. You are needed.
Watching our son grow into himself has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. His strength, joy and determination remind me every day why allyship is not optional, it is essential.

To every trans person reading this: you deserve safety, dignity, celebration and belonging. Not just survival but thriving.

I will keep listening. I will keep learning. I will keep speaking up.

With love, solidarity and unwavering support

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Turophile [TYOOR-oh-fahyl] (n.) -A cheese connoisseur; a cheese fancier. -Someone who loves cheese.

Vintage-style illustration on a parchment background titled “Grandiloquent Word of the Day.” The featured word is “Turophile,” with a phonetic spelling and the definition “a cheese connoisseur; a cheese fancier.” Beneath the definition is a humorous quotation about loving all kinds of cheese. On the right stands a finely dressed, anthropomorphic mouse wearing a suit, waistcoat, and hat, holding a cane, rendered in an antique engraved style.

The amount of shit ideas in one fell swoop is quite something, even by the WRU's standards. They've changed their mind about the COVID loans again. Now it's down to the clubs to repay them, not the WRU. Yet another turd to add to the shit sandwich.
