On Monday & Tuesday, Tower Hamlets council workers will be on strike against the Labour-run council’s plans to fire + rehire the entire workforce to push through new & exploitative contracts. Pictured: our STRIKE signs for the recent UCU strike [Photo credit: Craig Maclean]

I worry that trans people in the UK are increasingly being forced to spend our energy reacting to things and defending ourselves rather than creating things and advocating ourselves. It feels like a losing game given our opponents only ever use it to press their attack.

TERFs don't really believe that being trans is "a new form of conversion therapy", they claim that because they want us prevented from transitioning, and it is a useful lie.

How do you strike under socially distanced conditions? What's the Tower Hamlets strike about? Why are a Labour council using Tory anti-union laws against their own workers? A striking worker explains. newsocialist.org.uk/without-…

Solidarity to Tower Hamlets staff forced to strike because the council intends to sack its 4000 staff. Disgraceful of a Labour Council.

Showing solidarity with the work force at Tower Hamlets today.
1st of 3 days of official strikes to oppose the outrageous plans to sack all staff and impose detrimental terms of employment. @unisontheunion @UNISONSE #towerhamlets #unison

1/Today is the first day of strike action by hundreds of Tower Hamlets council workers against attacks on conditions
6 pickets are up across east london
Special shout out to dozen of refuse workers not covered by the strike who have refused to cross a picket line in solidarity.

Aimee Stephens was fired for being a transwoman. She took her fight from Michigan to the U.S. Sup Ct. She died last month before justice was served.
Today, Aimee smiles down on us from above.
With this victory, we recommit to protecting LGBTQ people at all costs.

there's a profundity to seeing @chasestrangio, one of the ACLU lawyers who represented aimee stephens, react to the ruling in realtime that i don't know how history books could capture

My history lessons in school covered these two areas
* The slave trade was set up

This just feels flatly homophobic. The guy is a celebrity liaison officer for the charity, there are plenty of “horrified” responses calling him disgusting, acting as if the fact he is gay is a threat to children.

Graham Linehan roping in Andrew Gilligan and helping transphobes trawl the LinkedIn and private social networks of NSPCC staff to get them fired.... for wearing rubber? This is all getting very Mary Whitehouse.

Block and report this disgusting troll account masquerading as a trans person.
The bigot behind this account has retweeted abusive porn at the mother of a trans child for challenging the bullsh*t narrative on trans youth promoted by Gia Milinovich.

It's so important to try and do whatever it is in your capacity, however you feel is safest, to intervene when you see something like this in public, like this person! One of the things I hate most about English culture is the ability to just stoically *ignore* a scene teapawt.org/MariliaSavvides/status…

You know who’s really silencing lesbians? Its a tiny minority of extremist bigots, that includes some lesbians, who are dedicating their lives to spreading misinformation and fear about trans women and completely ignoring the HUGE majority of lesbians who find that disgusting

We keep saying this over and over, with new statistics always saying the exact same thing:
Supporting trans youth keeps them alive.
It’s disgusting that trans rights are still considered a debatable public issue. It’s killing people. teapawt.org/transmediawatch/status…
Pink News highlights research showing that young trans people are 65% less likely to try to kill themselves if their names and pronouns are respected: pinknews.co.uk/2018/04/02/tr…
