I have campaigned for gay/trans rights for over 40 years as have most other pals of mine on the Left. Trans rights are there in 2 laws. Sometimes spaces, data & sport based on biological sex matters for women/girls rights, protection & fairness. @SexMattersOrg
RT @NadiaWhittomeMP: This proposal is an attack on the limited rights and protections that trans people currently have.
It’s another chapter in the vile culture war against trans people - a small minority a…

RT @NadiaWhittomeMP: This proposal is an attack on the limited rights and protections that trans people currently have.
It’s another chapter in the vile culture war against trans people - a small minority already facing a huge amount of discrimination.
We must stand with them and resist this.

We need more women politicians to follow this lead ….
RT @BevMcArthurMP: “None of what I’ve said is aggressive, or anti-trans…I re-state my view that essentially, people should be able to be, and to act as they wish – so long as they respect the rights of others”.

I am a woman. Please don’t invent language to erase biological women. @SexMattersOrg @HJoyceGender @jk_rowling @bindelj
RT @elliemaeohagan: I know it can be scary to speak out for trans rights given the political climate. But if you're a cis woman who supports trans rights, now is the time to do it. We cannot allow ourselves to be used as the excuse to hurt our trans friends, colleagues and neighbours any longer.

The most consequential politics story in the US isn’t the Trump arraignment | Robert Reich https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/apr/04/robert-reich-opinion-wisconsin-politics?CMP=share_btn_tw Let’s not let Trump distract us from what’s really important.

@KatyMontgomerie may wish to see this statement.
RT @NotThatBigIan: Let me help out here as a former Executive Director of the EHRC. There is no intention to remove gender reassignment as a protected characteristic, nor should there be. Clarifying the EqA to redefine 'sex' as 'biological sex' restores women's rights to safety, decency, privacy.

Terrific thread. Thanks Audrey. Recommended @Keir_Starmer @EdDaveyNews @CarolineLucas
RT @AudreySuffolk: @Keir_Starmer thinks the sex/gender wars to be a marginal issue only. It isnt. Rather it is a "minefield" issue. A thread to explain what I mean.

RT @Aiannucci: Back of my Polling Card for local elections. For 1st time, photo ID is required. Card gives many options for elderly or those with disability. None, NONE, for younger or student voters. The policy is simply biased against younger voters, designed to suppress their vote.

RT @campbellclaret: Just amazing isn’t it? That when one country like 🇬🇧 demands of another that they carry out thorough passport checks where once we travelled freely the other country 🇫🇷 does it and it leads to long queues. Nobody would ever have predicted that. Apart from everyone who did. GTTO

Politicians are going to have to get a grip on realities of AI. Look at these fake photos below as an example …..
RT @almuariza: Todas estas fotos tienen en común que parecen reales y se han hecho virales en redes pero han sido creadas por la inteligencia artificial.
Como sociedad tenemos un gran reto: el de aprender a no ser engañados. Y no parece fácil. https://www.elperiodico.com/es/sociedad/20230325/desafio-enganado-fotos-periodisticas-creadas-85154377

RT @jk_rowling: Very excited to announce that after a long stretch of being Literally Hitler I've become Ideologically Stalin.
With luck, hard work and your continued support, I believe I can make Vlad the Impaler by Christmas.
