“Until recently the UK was leading the world on LGBTQIA+ rights. We’ve become a cautionary tale about how far and fast a country can fall when it takes its eye off a human rights focus.” – Nancy Kelley GAY TIMES Lesbian Visibility Week #LesbianVisibilityWeek #LVW24 gaytimes.co.uk/life/uk-has-be…

Meanwhile, away from TERF island, over in Germany...

'German lawmakers have approved legislation that will make it easier for transgender, intersex and nonbinary people to change their name and gender in official records.'

We are delighted to welcome the passage of the German Self-Determination Act, which replaces a 40-year-old law and brings Germany in line with human rights standards for legal gender recognition. Congratulations to the activists involved in the process! bundesverband-trans.de/sbgg-verabschi…

🚨 BREAKING - The German parliament has just passed a self-ID bill making it easier for trans people to change their legal gender.

STATEMENT:

We are aware that the #trans community are distressed by some aspects of the #CassReport , and consequently, we are forming an expert working group to look very closely at the detail. In consequence we will not be making any statements until their work is completed.

It’s disappointing to see dismissive attitudes towards the LGBTQIA2S+ community reduced to mockery. The idea of a loving, supportive community isn’t a fantasy; it’s a vital source of solidarity and strength for countless individuals who face discrimination and marginalization…

Peace is the EU’s biggest achievement. But today, it is under threat.

That’s why we need to invest in our European defence, to become more resilient and support Ukraine 🇺🇦

NEW: “While longitudinal transitioning studies of #transgender athletes are urgently needed, these results should caution against precautionary bans and sport eligibility exclusions that are not based on sport-specific (or sport-relevant) research” 🏳️‍⚧️

Somebody literally threatened my life this week and X decided they didn’t violate any rules.
But apparently posting the word c*s is enough to limit your visibility.
So yeah, this app really does nothing to tackle homophobia and transphobia.

Today's poll shows London Liberal Democrats at more than double our 2021 support.

And like every other poll it shows that the Conservatives can't win in London.

It's time for a change.

Andrew Timothy will make a fantastic councillor 🗳️

Over the last year and a half I’ve seen his grit and determination to get stuck in and fight for what is right 🔶

I’m sure he will serve residents diligently and be a fantastic addition to our growing council group 👏

There is an urgent need for the immediate provision of air defence systems to Ukraine. US & European delays are disgracefully & unnecessarily costing Ukrainian lives 🇺🇦 Speaker Mike Johnson #Ukraine #airdefenseforukraine #PatriotsSaveLives

A Federal #Florida judge rules a #trans teacher's use of her chosen pronouns is protected by the First Amendment despite a state law passed in 2023 targeting the titles & pronouns a teacher may use.

If I was Dr Cass, I’d be embarrassed of publishing such an unscientific, blindingly biased and methodologically unsound review.
