A quick note to anyone in the UK who has heard bad things about . Stonewall has been the leading LGBTQA+ charity in the UK for decades. It has been fundamental in getting positive changes for British gay people since I was a teenager.

Today we have published Britons and Gender Identity. Based on polling of over 5,000 people and focus groups across the country. We found the current divisive online debates simply don't reflect the way the public think about trans and gender identity. (1/n)

The British govt has refused to set up a safe route for Ukrainian refugees. They've tried to muddy the waters with a press release about existing visas and relatives of British nationals, but make no mistake -1/3

The state of UK politics is so unbelievably past the point of parody and satire that it would actually be funny if this government didn't have blood on its hand and the official opposition weren't even less useful than a barbed wire toilet seat... twitter.com/PoliticsForAlI

Not only is the Government using #ElectionsBill to suppress the vote, it is also crushing our only elections which aren't run under deeply unfair & undemocratic first-past-the-post system
Why? Because when elections are fair, the Tories don't tend to win

I have been thrown out of Parliament for saying what we all know:
Boris Johnson has lied to the House of Commons and the country over and over again.
But I’ve got news for the Tories, I will never stop speaking truth to power!

Today is my last day at Stonewall and the 144th day of 2021
The Times (incl. The Sunday Times) has now published 223 stories about trans people & ‘trans issues’ this year
That’s almost two a day! It’s not normal. This is a concerted campaign against trans people by the UK press

What fresh new hell is this?
Do you like bias in academia? Do you think it's not quite systematic enough?
Let's make it worse...

BREAKING: The government has disbanded its LGBT advisory panel following our reports last month on the resignation of three members, who accused the govt of creating a “hostile environment” for LGBT people.
Their terms were due to expire on 31st March. Govt didn’t extend them.

While increased awareness is great, we think it's also a time for greater acceptance and understanding of autistic people.
