We are on the lookout for people to join Switchboard as Tech Volunteers. This means you wonโ€™t be answering phone calls, responding to chat messages or emails sent to us by service users, but youโ€™ll instead be on-call to triage any technical issues faced by our Listening Volunteers.

The article explicitly notes WI had had a trans-inclusive policy *since the 1970s*!

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Trans people have been around your whole life. Youโ€™ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. Theyโ€™ve been in your communities your whole life. Theyโ€™ve even been playing sport your whole life.

And you didnโ€™t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

We gays grew up hearing politicians claim that gay people having kids was โ€œagainst nature,โ€ โ€œsocial engineering,โ€ โ€œgrooming,โ€ โ€œideology,โ€ etc. Now this rhetoric is recycled to degrade trans lives. This is why the fight against transphobia is also a fight against homophobia. Bigots will trash us all.

Starmer says trans bans must be implemented 'as soon as possible' Keir Starmer has ordered that public bodies to enforce the Supreme Court's controversial gender ruling "as soon as possible".

What a sad pathetic man who stands for absolutely nothing. An empty vessel rattling noisily for whatever lobby is closest to power and gets to drop their mean spirited bigotry into him first

A beloved San Francisco drag queen was found dead in London over two years ago and the British police have done fuck all since. But a couple of performers at a festival in Somerset step out of line and decry a genocide, itโ€™s all hands on deck

Money that JKR earns from Harry Potter is used to fund legal actions designed to reduce trans womenโ€™s rights, e.g. in the workplace.
The harms from this will affect all trans communities.
Personally, I will do what I can to not line her purse further.

Once again, the best time to cancel your Labour membership was years ago. The second best time is now.

No one who cares about wildlife and ecosystems is now likely to vote Labour in 2029.
Or about Gaza.
Or poverty.
Or inequality.
Or international aid.
Or corporate power.
Or democratic reform.
Or racism.
Or trans rights.
So that's goodbye to just about its entire vote.
What are they playing at?

What an absolutely revolting disappointment the UK Labour Party have turned out to be. Sacrificing everything - everything - to chase a chimaeric single digit percentage of Reform voters who are never going to vote for them anyway. Pathetic.

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesnโ€™t benefit anyone. It doesnโ€™t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

Reminder to cis journalists, editors, podcasters, etc: actually ask trans people to write and speak about the Supreme Court ruling and EHRC update.

Half of you donโ€™t know the difference between a trans man and a trans woman. Your opinion isnโ€™t needed. Ours is.
