Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift. Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job. What does this Labour government have against young people? inews.co.uk/news/politic...

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Consulting family without consent is never appropriate for trans healthcare. As much as 43% of trans people have faced abuse from their own family. Read our full report: cwiar.org/en/2026/10/1...

NEW: FOI requests reveal NHS Wales used unverified 'family concerns' to stop trans surgeries

NHS England's new trans segregation regime for hospitals will kill people. We know this because there are real examples of how NHS "corridor care" is *already* killing people. But you can help - Trans Legal Clinic are fundraising legal action for a trans woman who died. Please donate and/or share!

Sharing this piece again which I wrote last year. Medical transphobia of the kind NHS England are now touting contributed to my friend Robyn's death. We can sit with the horror of that without losing hope. There is so much of value in our lives, and we have so much to offer each other.

Without a hint of exaggeration, this is where we are now. Joelle was murdered for being trans by the National Health Service www.translegalclinic.com/justice-for-...

The NHS knows that its new policy is going to harm patients, and it's doing it anyway. It is an active choice being made by this Labour government – don't let them pretend their hands are bound.

been waiting for this fast train to Strasbourg. but yes this will kill people.

Grindr is training its AI on your photos, your age, and your taps by default, without asking. This video shows where the app buried the off switch. The stakes are high on an app like Grindr. Numerous countries criminalize same-sex relations, so being outed through your data can be dangerous.

I'll be in conversation with Susan Stryker next week in Glasgow - and you can join us! Friday 23 October, 2pm-4pm at the University of Glasgow. It's free to attend, but please register if you want to come, so we know numbers and can share more information with you.

well done lads, it's 2026 & you've managed to allow the fucking Sun to position itself as slightly less hostile to people who support LGBT+ rights than The Big Supposedly Gay Dancing Show

The timing is really bad — I’m supposed to be away — but I have an overdue electric bill and could really use some help before I get another shut off notice Any dollar helps a lot ko-fi.com/acvalens/goa...

Probably THE most persuasive tool we have as Video Essayists is using ourselves as the uncomfortable example The fact that in 10 years he never made a video about this "life-changing rehabilitation," a thing many young people NEED to learn about, in my mind makes his work cowardly & self-serving 💁

🚨 We need to hear from YOU Have you had a problem accessing gendered services since April last year, outside of school and the workplace? Are you a service provider worried about remaining inclusive? PLEASE let us know through this form - and share widely goodlaw.social/mzb3

looks like we’re gonna have to kill this guy, miss meryl

Meet Juliet Brown. She cancelled hundreds of evidence-based gender-affirming surgeries across all of Wales three weeks ago. Brown isn't a doctor. Or any sort of clinician. She's a businessperson, formerly a director of the service commissioning Tavistock.

NHS: "Too many patients, time for eugenics"

It is absolutely obscene the NWJCC thought this was appropriate for a minority group. It's just eugenics.

Same stuff applies anytime there's any criticism of the Labour govt in the UK by trans people. We're supposedly being selfish just asking for regular things cis people have.

figured I re-up this given that Bluesky higher ups seem to be saying 1) they're clamping down on toxicity, but 2) gleefully invoking the GOP sending trans ppl to camps doesn't count because it's not a making a direct threat against us 🤷‍♀️

happy 57th anniversary to the one that started it all, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! 🎊🥳

Welsh Gender Service patients tell us of their 'absolute devastation' after surgeries were cancelled last minute Exclusive from @ludovicparsons.bsky.social 👇

In just two days this petition has surpassed the 10,000 signatures required to be considered for a debate in the Senedd. It is currently the second largest petition on the Senedd Cymru Welsh Government site Keep signing and sharing petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/24...

just stop oil protesters got five years in jail for *planning* to do this to the M25.

post-op vaginal dilating??? 😨😱👻

New Welsh Gender Service FAQs cavuhb.nhs.wales/news/latest-... "At this stage, it's not known if patients have been referred inappropriately" "The NWJCC hasn't identified any patients who have undergone surgery inappropriately" "No immediate patient safety concerns have been identified by the NWJCC"

As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds. I think, personally, I would be less harmed by you giving me an actual kick in the ribs than watching the new Harry Potter & trying to justify it.

Plaid Cymru have the power, and the mandate, to force the the NHS in Wales to reverse its suspension of gender affirming surgeries on the Welsh Gender Service. How they act now is a defining moment for trans people in Wales, as well as for the party. Read More 👇 owenexiehurcum.com/2026/08/30/d...

Did they shut down the neonatal unit and conduct an “independent review” without a timeframe or a roadmap when Lucy Letby was killing babies? If not, what warranted the drastic measure suspending Wales's gender-affirming surgery referral service?

🚨🆕 @wearequeeraf.com and @whatthetrans.com can reveal that the NHS has cancelled all gender-affirming surgeries for adult patients of the Welsh Gender Service Some trans patients received the news just days or even hours before they were due to take place 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/nhs-cancels-...

This is the most fucked up and immediately harmful policy decision I think I've ever seen in adult trans healthcare in the UK, and that's saying something. The Welsh Gender Service is one of the best in the country. It is widely praised by the patients it helps. That is why it is being targeted.

Best worst instance of this was when a real doll style weirdo plastic rape fetish company asked trans safety network if we would supply them with trans models for them to make dolls from ("no thanks, but also, absolutely not")
