The Village Church in @manchester.anglican.org is a beautiful, holy place and I feel blessed whenever I go to preach and preside there ❤️ #AllAreWelcome #AllBelong #EverythingHangsOnLove

@amnesty.org is withholding necessary medical treatment on grounds of identity enough of a human rights violation yet or do those only count when the violators don't have Rowling money?

Hey @zackpolanski.bsky.social fancy talking about the trans apartheid in this country or the NHS guidance that will kill lots of trans people. Be great if you mentioned it. It’s heartbreaking how the greens have let us down.

Your Harry Potter dollars funded this.

The hypocrisy is off the scale. I hate these fucking scum more than I ever would have believed possible.

It is regrettable that the many Labour MOs opposed to the Government's capitulation to transphobia don't seem to ostracise their transphobic colleagues the way they would racists and antisemites.

Great but the party is now on life support down to 9% in the polls and Zack is done because of this. And as a trans woman the greens are my last hope so I hope you enjoy this student Twitter debate. Because we could have had 40+ seats in the next election

TRANS LIVES ARE REAL. HARRY POTTER IS NOT.

“Orlando had become a woman… Their change of sex, though it altered their future, did nothing whatever to alter their identity… but in future we must, for convention’s sake, say ‘her’ for ‘his’ and ‘she’ for ‘he’.” Virginia Woolf had no problems with pronouns in 1928. #InternationalPronounsDay

Shocked I tell ya, shocked …

THIRD THOUGHT OF THE DAY… Trans people bad… Live streamed executions good. This is what the fall of a civilisation looks like.

BONUS THOUGHT FOR THE DAY… Trans-People: Forever cursed by fair-weather allies, mostly.

I could cry what has happened to the Party. I’m so impressed with @zackpolanski.bsky.social and his transformation of the party. But replacing Labour has allready been watered down + stupid constitution allowing idiots to propose toxic polices which have allready killed it and they are back at 11%

Damn you know what else he is the same in as thatcher? Bringing in school guidance that opresses lgbt people Tho this time with actual segregation and conversion practices in the mix What a revolutionary what a guy Ey up

If no other picture survives Reform UK conference this year, let it be this one. It is a teachable moment. #ReformAssault #Fascism

Canon Grace is leading a bible study during Creationtide all about trees! It is based on 'Reforesting Faith' by Matthew Sleeth, but if you don't need to have read the book to join Every Monday on Zoom at 7.30pm in September. Email canon.missioner@manchestercathedral.org for the link

More appalling behaviour from the BBC. ⬇️ A trans person interviewed about their horrific experience having their surgery cancelled whilst in the hospital described as 'biologically female'. And then half the article devoted to praising the work of an unemployed transphobe. 🗣️ DEFUND THE BBC 🗣️

Section 28 3/4

THIRD THOUGHT OF THE DAY… Just wondering when the threshold will be reached, where countries accept asylum applications from trans people wishing to flee the UK. The genocidal policies in the UK are gathering pace (just look what happened in Wales).

It's hard to reconcile this with trans woman winning Big Brother in 2004. And with a trans woman winning Eurovision Song Contest in 1998. And multiple beauty pageants. And multiple "Woman of the Year"

With whats happened in Wales we really are now at the point where the moral panic can shut down transition care full stop cause of the “scandal” that transition happens, at all.

It feels so cruel that some were gowned up and there surgery was paused, This isn’t a nice country, and though I’m getting ready to march tomorrow at Manchester pride. The freedom with the T of the LGBT. I’m now assuming nhs bottom surgery will be off the table and I have to pay or go abroad.

A must read-post on LinkedIn… www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-sah...

The thing which makes me not laugh at this scumbag is that if what happened happened in the UK. He probably would have a job, an apology and a building named after him as UK institutionally hates us so much.

This 'in depth' article fails to cover the impact of Trump, the anti-DEI movement in the US, and UK politicians' role in the rise of anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric It also relies on Reform's Darren Grimes and an anon 'gender critical lesbian' to claim our community is divided www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... GB News or BBC? Infuriating article, the way we have been dehumanised as a debate! How the persecution of trans pp has been turned into companies just wanting not to be woke.when gender criticals felt unsafe pride was doing its job as Bigots should feel unsafe at pride.

in a world of JK Rowlings be a Dolly Parton

Congratulations to students across the UK today! Whatever the results were, we hope that you take pride in how much you’ve learned and grown over the past few years, and celebrate your achievements. The Green Party wishes you the best of luck with your next ventures!

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised in 2026 Britain if she blames it on being angry by being oppressed by trans people” and the courts find her not guilty and give her an apology.

Announcing state backed trans segregation and discrimination with a smile

I recently bought this from Trans Pride Brighton and I think going into day 2 of Jim Crow UK it’s a good reminder. TERFs or GCs hate us and want us to have a life as miserable as them. However difficult it is, I have this on my desk for a reason to remind me to keep going.

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

When you find true allyship in 2026 Britain as a trans woman it’s very special. Was honoured that a representative of the cathedral marched allongside us at transpride manchester today and wanted to learn more about our community. It was a great thing to see and shows true Christianity is inclusive
