Last year I planned to take my own life. I saved up my antidepressants with a plan to overdose on them. I didn't tell anyone, my girlfriends found out and staged an intervention.
I reached out to my MP (and someone I consider a friend)
@KirstySNP
ahead of this debate.
Regardless what you think of her,
"Mr and Mrs Dursley of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much."
Is not a great opening line.
To see
@RosieDuffield1
,
@joannaccherry
and whoever has been Alba MP is, laugh at my story (or at least one very much like it). Proves to me that there is no negotiating with these people. They are so filled with hate they think my death is a laughing matter.
So let me get this right.
One of the people most associated with funding the anti LGBT campaigns that labelled LGBT people 'groomers has been charged with human trafficking...
It's always projection, isn't it.
A lesbian cisgender women is escorted out of the women’s bathroom by police because a Karen called the cops on her think she was a man.
Bathroom transvestigations are only about enforcing gender conformity. Nothing else.
So my G/F was sexually harassed and assaulted at pride, likely by a cis het guy.
This is why we need trans inclusive feminism. Trans women face the same harassment as cis women, we should be fighting together.
Dear
@LGBTLabour
(and
@LGBTCons
) word of advice.
Your role within your respective parties is to advise and if you're not listened to, publicly object to policies of your leadership.
Your not a social club or a career leader to leadership.
Bloodied? It's tomato juice.
Unbowed? She cancelled her tour and was sent packing?
I know GCs don't give a fuck about the truth at the best of times, but that's just comical.
I see Labour MPs have scrubbed timelines free of any pro-trans people posts.
Glad to see all that time and effort of playing their games has paid off for trans people.
Yo
@wesstreeting
and
@jk_rowling
since both of you know better than doctors.
My Flucloxacillin is causing me really bad heart burn for the 30 minutes I can't eat after taking them.
Can I just take them with food? Or better yet stop taking them? I know my GP says no but ...
@RubySampson18
That's not what she said, and I strongly suspect you know that's not what she said.
I strongly suspect you are a liar and a disgrace to the office of councillor.
Kellie Jay-Keen, also known as Posie Parker, live streamed an hour ago.
In that live stream she says women who stand in her way will be "annihilated".
She is holding a rally in George Square Glasgow on the 5th of Feburary.
Your friendly reminder that LGBAlliance are:
based in Tufton Street
recognised as a hate group in Ireland and NZ
largely made up of straight people
A supposed charity who have done nothing for LGB people except make us feel unsafe
@annettedittert
The money is collected and paid by the government, and the government dictator who the senior manager is. That sounds pretty much like a state sponsored broadcaster to me.
I see
@KatyMontgomerie
is being attacked for having
@pickle_bee
at her talk.
Well, here's Beth and I in the pub after organising a rally in support of people right to choose.
Just fake feminist
@murdo_fraser
working with the director of the forced birther org SPUC.
This cares no more about cis women than he cares about trans women.
There is a reason the Green Party doesn't get the coverage other parties get.
This is it.
We would have a fundamentally different political landscape if we did
This is brilliant.
People often say what a difference it would make if the media gave
@TheGreenParty
more air time.
@natalieben
took callers questions for an hour and
@IainDale
read out peoples reactions:
What do readers of the centrist Herald think of JK Rowling?
"OK, JK Rowling is not a criminal, but her behaviour is disgraceful"
Well that's gone well for her, hasn't it.
Transgender female athletes are at a physical disadvantage compared to cisgender women in several key metrics, research funded by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has found...

@wesstreeting
if this goes against you, will you resign?
@lisanandy
feeling confident you interview isn't going to bit you in the Ass?
@Keir_Starmer
this all could have been avoided if you had listened to Trans people when we warned you and tried to advise you
The fact
@TheBMA
are even voting to disavow the Cass Review demonstrates there are many more questions than answers.
No politician should be making decisions - especially ones that go even further - based on a review that is being widely questioned.
Wes Streeting needs to stop.
Are you looking to join the LGB Alliance
@wesstreeting
you absolute idiot?
Every other LGBTQI charity would disagree with you ... why on earth is he patron of
@LGBTLabour
?
As she had only been transitioned for a few months, she would be ineligible for a GRC and, therefore, have to be buried as male.
@KirstySNP
@AnneMcLaughlin
@AnnelieseDodds
Please support the campaign to get her a retrospective GRC.
We need a campaign to demand a GRC for Brianna, every single one of us need to do this for her.
These disgusting politicians who claim that 16 is too young can go to hell, anyone of any age can die, being trans doesn’t change that!
#DignityForBrianna
If your reaction to Brighton Pride saying they don't want politics parties at Pride is to cry how hard done by you've been to, rather than reflect on the deaths your party's position on trans kids is likely to cause.
FUCK, And I can't say this plainly enough OFF.
Good to know Bristol Pride doesn’t want me at their event - pride is for everyone (except if you’re from a political party they don’t like.
How wonderfully progressive!
@Xx17965797N
That limit is the amount in your bank balance, it's a self service store.
If your calling for an end to capitalism I'm down with that, but I don't think that's the case is it.
@Gemma_clark14
They definitely would. But irrespective of that, it's not a great opening line.
I'm sure her later opening lines will be better (as she's honed her craft) but the fact people voted for this suggests they're actually voting for a series they like and not an opening line
Alba are polling at 0.4% in the latest poll.
0.3% down from their 2022 result at the local council elections.
What happened to "Alba Rising" and "the SNP vote share will collapse"? 🤣
Looks like his ego project continues to fail miserably...
Labour is no friend of the LGBT+ Community, I won't speak for the Jewish community, but to clear Rosie Duffield of transphobia would be hysterical if it wasn't so sad.
@Keir_Starmer
and
@LGBTLabour
you should be ashamed.

The court has rejected Linehan's argument that he was just expressing an opinion rather than making a factual claim and is allowing the case to proceed.
I was due to be in the audience for
@bbcdebatenight
tomorrow. But suddenly I'm not.
I guess they don't want trans people asking questions about trans people.
@ipa1869
... it's literally the first line from the philosopher's stone.
... not everything is about trans people ... quite often I tweet about other stuff ...
Take your TERF tinted glasses of and take a look at the wider world.
Another day, another international report pointing out the growing worsening of the situation for trans people in the UK, this one from
@TGEUorg
It's worth remembering that if it wasn't for the Scottish Government, the UK's ranking would be even worse.
While her daughter is likely a lot happier now she is out of that toxic relationship, I find it incredibly sad that this woman has let the cult destroy her family.
We are deeply distressed that a far right protest in Knowsley has led to riots. We can’t imagine the terror of the people inside the hotel. Far right protestors have set fire to a police van
Cis women can and do commit sexual violence against others. To dismiss that so casually as a way to attack trans people should be a warning sign to everyone, KF does not care about cis women, she wants to impose her 18th-century moral code on everyone.
@TheScotsman
... Oh right ... OK ... So she going to call out her 'Gender Critical' mate Posie Parker who call for us to be murdered then ...
