The decline of common decency, fairness, and justice in our politics is sad to see.

However, if we come together, we can fight it and build something better.

Cheshire Women’s Institute branch to close in solidarity with trans women A Cheshire Women’s Institute branch has announced it will close at the end of March after members voted overwhelmingly to suspend the group in protest at the national organisation’s exclusion of trans...

So sad, and so unnecessary. We offered a legal indemnity, against all legal risks, to the leadership of Women's Institute, and Girlguiding, so they could continue to include all women.

Both declined.

Devolution has run out of road This always happens, every time I decide to take a bit of time off, a big news story breaks and it’s back to the keyboard. On Tuesday, a Labour government memo was leaked which proves that Ke…

With a leaked Labour government memo revealing Starmer's plans to override the devolved governments and impose is will on Scotland and Wales even in devolved matters, devolution has run out of road. It's independence or incorporation into a unitary UK.

It's essentially unenforceable

What SGP does have is any elected official who wants to move to them will remain an independent until after the next elections and they will then go through the same selection process as anyone else

And this is the anti-trans logic loop:

1. demand evidence

2. design reviews that cannot find evidence

3. cite absence of evidence as justification for withdrawing care

4. use withdrawal of care to prevent generation of new evidence.

It's what the Reagan administration did to trans folks.

Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people.

This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists.

The study underpinning this played one particular trick.

Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5

I'd say it was a deliberate tactic by the anti-trans movement to claim Goodwin was only about the right to marry and conveniently forget about the privacy aspect

Could be worse. I could end up in Claonaig πŸ˜‰

Here's an interesting thought.... What if, as they don't get elected on the list vote, they chose not to stand on the list vote especially when a Green would benefit

Some reliable ferries would help as well

I've actually grown to believe this. The SNP are more interested in holding onto power than getting independence

I'm not taking any bets on it

It pisses me off as the SNP know exactly what they're doing

Kinda the point I was making

The reason the SNP keep pushing both votes SNP is because they don't want the Scottish Greens to have enough power to drag them left

This is why the fight over puberty blockers was always absurd. They were the compromise to make cis people comfortable. Otherwise, trans youth will just jump to HRT to transition.

Guess I was kinda lucky that the NHS mistakingly prescribed me 4x the dose they meant to put me on and gave me a decent endo who prescribed me progesterone

Damn I wish I'd fought harder to stay on what I was on but bought into the bs that after grs I didn't need it

By a strange quirk of fate my initial prescription was 4x what it should have been and I stayed on that until after GRS at which point the gatekeeping kicked in again

It's criminal how they treat us.

I asked my GP to check my hormone levels for 'reasons' and she came back saying they're normal to which I replied that doesn't help the 'reasons' so I did get to see a totally unqualified endo who said both my T and E levels were flatlining. No shit sherlock!

for green parties to survive they will need to move from environmentalism as the focus to environmentalism as a way to improve people's lives through leftist policy. it's not only more broadly popular but it's also more honest. green policy won't work without it

Graphic with a purple background. There is a picture of John Swinney that is tinted pink in the bottom right corner. It says "The First Minister has said that trans people are valued in Scotland, that he understands the anguish and hurt created by the Supreme Court ruling. Why then is his government using the very same words from that judgment in law when it doesn’t need to?" At the bottom are the Equality Network and Scottish Trans logos and the link https://equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisberemembered"
