If you have been blessed with a trans child;

1. Keep them away from the NHS
2. Try and move abroad if you can
3. Be prepared to fight transphobic staff at school
4. Find other sources of hormones/medication. If you can, get a car loan to pay for them.
5. Protect them from all governmental agencies.

Anti-trans scum attacking a young female MP on International Women’s Day under the guise of β€œprotecting women”!!! πŸ˜£πŸ˜–

GENDER CRITICAL TRANSPHOBES DO NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WOMEN!

THEY’RE PART OF A VIOLENT ANTI-GENDER CULT!

On International Women’s Day we remember that it was direct action that paved the way for Women's Suffrage. As transfeminists we must do the same. We stand arm in arm with our sisters resisting the violence which looms over us every single day. As always, we stand our ground and fight back.

A close-up selfie of a person with long auburn hair, smiling slightly. They are wearing a small hoop earring and a dangling earring shaped like a miniature pink DOOM video game box. The background features a dark floral mural with blue and white flowers. A gold chain necklace is partially visible at the bottom of the frame.

A great interview with NION.

Have a listen and, if you haven’t already signed their letter, go to:

notinourname.org.uk

They’ve reached 88,995 signatures, so why not help them get to 90,000!!!

Then it would be really helpful if you could repost the interview, and tell your friends and family!!! πŸ™

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: β€œA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said β€œwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said β€œmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Thank you to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for your clear support for the trans community. In a political climate where too many are stepping back, visible allyship from political leaders matters.

In fairness, this country is a tyrannical fascism in a clowns mask, so it's likely saving those poor students from upcoming keithcentration camps.

Great to hear @zackpolanski.bsky.social speaking at an event to launch @transactualuk.bsky.social’s Trans Lives report. When he talks about inclusion and solidarity he really means it.

This is important for everyone. We all need to support each other.

No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.

Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.

The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

I went through all the proper challenge privately and... ended up DIYing anyway because the ongoing costs of keeping up and hassle is just draining my brain on top of everything I have to deal with as a trans woman.

Some things have to give. And even great private medical care is a drain.

Sir Keir supports whatever illegal shit the US tells him to

The most unpopular prime minister since records began stands resolutely behind the unprovoked attack on Iran by the two countries that are actively carrying out a genocide in the Middle East.

But please, do elaborate more about "extremism on the Left", Mr Human Rights lawyer KC.

The new unethical data linkage study will include all those referred intoTavistock GIDS.

In my experience this won’t be true. Appleby made these assertions for his bullshit study about trans youth suicide yet the DoH still makes excuses as to why Alice wasn’t included

Keir Starmer has written to all Labour MPs attacking the Green Party for embracing "divisive" and "sectarian" politics

I'm picking up concern among Labour MPs about how this letter will come across to people who have voted/are tempted to vote Green, as it could risk further alienating these voters
