“Our elected representatives must find a backbone. We should always refuse to capitulate to the demands of an extremist view that trans people should be marginalised from society, not just when it is politically convenient.”

After Finland, now #Spain introduces self-declarative #genderrecognition. (Scotland would currently have beaten them to it had our transphobic government not blocked it—a helpful reminder of how badly this country has gone off the rails on this issue.)

Labour promises #Genderrecognition reform for trans people https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/02/08/labour-gender-recognition-reform-anneliese-dodds-scotland/ You can't trust the UK #LabourParty. Period. They wouldn't relent over #marriageequality, they were forced into the Gender Recognition Act 2004 by the #ECHR,... If Jeremy Corbyn was still the leader, I'd vote for them, but not now. Starmer is a liar and a hypocrite.

I got interviewed for a #Finnish newspaper about gender recognition through self determination. #Finland doesn't use pronouns so reading the English translation was interesting lol. #trans #transgender #SelfID #GenderRecognition

The UK Government has responded to a petition which asked them to commit to not amending the Equality Act’s definition of sex: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/627984?reveal_response=yes

Needless to say, the response doesn’t offer any reassurance that they’re not going to do this 🙄

And at the end of their disingenuous response is a paragraph extolling the virtues of their ‘modernisation’ of the gender recognition process in England and Wales

Hidden in the obfuscatory text is a reminder that ‘reducing the cost and moving the process online’ was the full extent of their modernisation

So much for ‘individual liberty’, ‘humanity and dignity’, ‘respect, support and compassion’! 😔

(And of course they’ve blocked the Scottish Government’s bill that offers the prospect of a small amount of meaningful reform!)

Petition: Reverse the decision to block the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill

Almost every single time there's a trans rights protest, the bigot press are able to ignore the whole thing and instead attack it and any politicians who support or attend it as "extremist" solely because of a tiny few attendees displaying violent slogans such as "kill TERFs" who are not immediately ejected.

Tolerating one single violent slogan at your trans rights protest is directly undermining anything positive you might hope to achieve.

If this turns out to be true, I don't know what to say. I'll still want Labour to win because Tories, because FPTP and because there's at least a chance they're thinking they can reverse all this once they've sneaked past the press and got into office, but… my God, what's happened to this country?

A rundown of Westminster's reasoning behind the use of unprecedented veto powers against Scotland, and potential arguments against their legality

I'm horrified by the transphobic speeches made by Miriam Cates (Con), Craig MacKinley (Cons) and Nick Fletcher (Con) in the debate on Gender Recognition reform and section 35 on Tuesday. I don't want to share their views, so here's the contribution made by Kirsty Blackman (Aberdeen North) (SNP) instead.

I'm very disappointed that Labour didn't really turn up in any number to show their support for Trans people.

Westminster has dragged trans people into its attack on Scotland’s powers

#scotland #transgender #genderrecognition #unitedkingdom #humanrights

For people in and around Edinburgh, a reminder (or notice) that there’s a protest happening today following the UK government’s unprecedented decision to veto Scottish legislation and block royal assent of the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill, passed by a large majority last month

When: 13:30

Where: Queen Elizabeth House, Sibbald Walk (off New Street, close to Waverley station)
