It’s important to me that we build understanding of our gender diverse history across all political parties.

If you are involved in party politics and would like to put on a similar event we’d be happy to support the development of that with you.

Please share with anyone involved in and around Green Party politics.

Looking forward to growing the understanding of our gender diverse history and exploring how that knowledge is fundamental to our liberation.

So we now have that curiosity answered.

Adding 2,000 new members a day since by-election! Quite remarkable.

I love Bridgerton. It’s so camp and trashy but also completely consuming and existential.

Queen Charlotte and Lady Danbury’s relationship just gets me πŸ₯Ή

One Year On: 13 people on the ruling that changed their lives On 16 April 2025, the UK’s Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of a woman is based on their biological sex assigned at birth. Forget the rage-bait headlines and attempts to divide us through...

my first piece (cowritten with Catriona Innes) in a print magazine comes out today: we interviewed 13 people, mostly trans women, about how the Supreme Court ruling has affected them for Cosmo UK

The historically pivotal court case, that is critical to the future UK Trans+ rights Christine Goodwin v UK, changed the lives of Trans+ people across Europe, leading to the UK Gender Recognition Act. But it continues to be misunderstood

Over twenty years ago, a court ruled that forcing trans people to live β€œin an intermediate zone as not quite one gender or the other is no longer sustainable”.

That decision became the foundation for the UK’s Gender Recognition Act.

Here’s how ✍️ @jessothomson.co.uk

I mean I’m joking about deleting it.

I spent decades being unable to cry. Very happy to be able to now do so.

Just embarrassed at Bridgerton drawing them out to me. In every episode!

It’s gone too far!
