I hope Labour friends who mocked me for pointing out the Lib Dems were and are willing to stand up for trans people - especially the trans ones - are now realising the damage they’ve done by refusing to critique the party they are weren’t even full members of

Just be clear Keir Starmer I don't want to swap racism, sexism, homophobia & trans phobia for some *supposed* trade deal. I hope this isn't actually on any table.

Despite ginger hair and green eyes being a tiny percent of the worlds population, we accept them as a genetic possibility. However, intersex people and trans people being of similar percentages? That’s considered unacceptable and not worthy of acknowledgement.

Intersectional misogyny is dangerous and why feminism has developed to include everyone who faces misogyny. The most common misogyny I’ve faced in politics is used specifically to treat me as an autistic and physically disabled person as lesser and hold me to higher standards.

Autistic people are more likely to be trans (Warrier 2020) But this is not a move to acknowledge this, this is an attempt to demonise both being trans and being neurodiverse and paint both as illnesses. How long until the concept of a cure is brought up? Leave us alone.

The neighbourhood cat snuck in past my flatmate and is now sabotaging the work I’m doing for the local elections Luckily she’s cuter than any Tory I’ve seen so it may just work on me

I have written to the First Minister urging the Scottish Government to hear from all those affected by the Supreme Court ruling when planning how to implement it.

Just clocked out of work to begin to head to Canada for the Y7! After working for months with the delegates from the other G7 countries, I’m looking forward to meeting them in person and finalising the work we’ve been producing!

Remember we can’t just ask women to stand, we need to remove the barriers that keep women from engaging at the same level as men. Or this will continue. Do better and tackle misogyny in politics

I had a phenomenal time last week representing the UK on the AI & Digital Track and as Head of Delegation at the youth G7. It was a huge privilege to meet and learn from so many of my peers across the G7 countries.

Why does woke matter? Honestly seeing disabled actors in Dr Who and seeing disabled people included in the fictional future is so special somehow. Sometimes their disability is relevant sometimes incidental and I appreciate both because it’s never “for inspiration” or “in spite”
