Just spoken on LBC News about @JamieWallisMP and his statement from last night. Bottom line - my heart goes out to him as he's clearly having a difficult time, and it's not easy being trans in the UK in any way right now. 1/n

On Monday, the policing bill is being rushed through the Commons. It contains some of the most draconian crackdowns on the right of peaceful protest we've seen in our lifetime. politics.co.uk/comment/2021/…

Silencing Black Lives Matter: Priti Patel's anti-protest law - Politics.co.uk

It is cancel culture on a statutory footing, directed against the left.

Did you know? On 14th September 2020, in the decision Taylor v Jaguar Land Rover, the court recognised that non-binary and genderfluid people are protected against discrimination in the workplace by the Equality Act 2010. #LGBTHM21 #Enby

It's not possible to order a coronavirus test online or over the phone in the UK without providing a binary gender. That's >200,000 #nonbinary people unable to get a test without lying. GDPR requires records about us to be accurate. Complain here: gov.uk/contact/govuk
Screenshot: GOV.UK coronavirus test ordering form. Text: What's the gender of the person needing a test? Options: male, female. Error text insists that the user must submit an answer to continue.

Feedback form: How could we improve the overall experience? Answer: Allow people to leave the gender question blank, or provide a "nonbinary/other" option. Under the Equality Act 2010 failure to provide a gender option for nonbinary people is indirect discrimination, and this has now been tested in court. As a nonbinary person I am completely unable to book a test online.

I’d really like to thank @WileyCEO for his anti-Semitism and Twitter and Instagram’s lack of proper action. It shines a light on the levels of anti-Semitism that exists in our society. What Wiley has posted is pretty typical of the abuse I get sent on social most days.
