I mostly tweet about tax on here and keep the personal stuff for elsewhere. But I feel I need to say something about this. I stand in solidarity with my trans friends. As @Jefflez says the City has done the only thing it could under the Equality Act 2010.https://twitter.com/Jefflez/status/1131548449810374656 …

As a feminists I find it difficult that some feminists seek to deny trans people their rights, and even their very identity. In particular as a queer man it’s hard to hear the same tropes that are used against gay men - that we are a danger to others - used against trans people

In fact the reality is the opposite. It is trans people who face atrocious levels of abuse, mental illness and attack.

As @TaxJusticeUK’s equality and diversity statement makes clear, we cannot have true economic justice without justice for woman, for trans people, for those who are disabled, for those from an ethnic minority, for those who are queer http://www.taxjustice.uk/uploads/1/0/0/3/100363766/tjuk_equality___diversity_statement_-_updated_november_2018.pdf …
