J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling · Jul 20, 2024 Believing that people who disagree with you must want you dead is destructive for your own well-being and mental health. I not only want you alive, I want you safe and happy. Quote Tweet: "I looked up to you as a kid and now you'd rather see me die than live authentically as myself"

Gender based violence is a scourge in our society. Complicated and more devastating for those of us who are migrants and fall victim across borders. I don’t know this woman but have and continue to know many whose lives are upended by violence . Please donate if you can. gofund.me/6ca4cad6e
Yesterday, NHS England released the Levy Review into adult trans healthcare. The Review is over 60 pages long, and we will be taking our time to fully digest and understand its implications. For now, we welcome the assessment that adult gender services don’t meet the needs of trans adults, and that they are not providing consistent, high-quality care in line with other NHS services. We will provide more information as soon as we can. The review has been released just before the winter break...

Have been reflecting on my life in the last 24 months and these words might capture what some of what you I may have experienced
This is significant, thank you to the persistence of activists and Scottish Greens who have persisted. The fight should not have been this long, while the government at Westminster and Labour in Scotland refuse to take decisive action to end the genocide.

Please sign this petition. It doesn't matter that the government's initial response states lamely that the right to transition is already enshrined in UK law. If the petition reaches 100k and gets debated in parliament we can lobby MPs to ask questions as per the OP. MPs are beginning to wake up.
I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.
I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.
The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.
This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.
I mean, look, if Mamdani actually had invented time travel, went back in time and invented Twitter so it existed six years before it was created, to tweet about something that happened when he was 9 yeas old, with a picture of him at age 33, well... then maybe it's something to talk about...
Campaign poster for Q Manivannan, Scottish Greens candidate for Fountainbridge-Craiglockhart, encouraging people to vote in today's by-election
Polls are open in Fountainbridge-Craiglockhart! A Green [1] vote can stop a second Tory councillor for the ward, deliver fresh ideas and new energy to Edinburgh council.
Just waking up to the news that Zohran Mamdani won! South Asian socialists are on the up. If you are a Scottish Green Party member in Edinburgh and Lothians East, consider giving me your #1 vote. I can’t rap but I can dance
I'm really excited about the incredible list of prospective candidates we have standing in Edinburgh and Lothians East (including myself 😅)
I'll post more about the other candidates I'm supporting soon, but big shout out for Mridul as one of my top three!! 💚💚💚
See you in Parliament
Happy Pride Edinburgh! #TransRightsNow 🏳️⚧️
A graphic with a photo from a demonstration with the text: "Edinburgh Council has voted to uphold its support for trans rights. Greens Worked with the SNP, Lib Dems, and independents to ensure the vote passed. Labour and the Tories sought to 'welcome' the Supreme Court's regressive ruling on sex and gender. Greens will always stand up and advocate for trans and non-binary people. We will never stop being vocal trans allies."
We're thrilled that Edinburgh's Green councillors have worked successfully with other parties to reaffirm the city's commitment to promoting equality for Edinburgh’s LGBT+ community.

I no longer work in the gender based violence sector after being hounded out by peddlers of allyship and of course haters. However, as a survivor of violence, this documentary is a must watch. I spent nearly 20 years of my life working to serve survivors like me. youtu.be/QQQhyopGOxw?...
If you want to know how serious our decline in the UK, when North Carolina did what the Labour Government and EHRC have done, the then UK Government told LGBT+ people to beware travelling there.
