Despite living in England, I have been incredibly invested in the Scottish Gender Recognition Reform Bill for the past few months because to me, it represented UK politics moving forward from the time of medical diagnosis of dysphoria, 10 year waiting lists and the like.

I thought that considering that the bill passed in Scotland with a solid majority, and they had taken steps to make it as difficult as possible for the uk to intervene without causing issues, that we were smooth sailing and we were finally seeing some progress on terf island.

I even foolishly allowed myself to believe that the rest if the UK would follow along eventually, and that it marked the beginning of self-reporting your gender without medical intervention - as it is in many other countries.

Section 35 (follow the link below for a better explanation) is part of the Scotland Act 1998 that allows the scottish secretary by power of the UK government to veto any bill within four weeks of its passing if there are reasonable grounds to believe either:

The bill is incompatible with the UK’s international obligations or jeopardises national defence.

The bill has adverse effects on policy areas that are the responsibility of the UK government.

IT HAS NEVER BEEN USED UNTIL TODAY

Parliament is claiming that the scottish bill has “passed the adverse effects test” and has used section 35 to stop it from coming into effect, continuing to place the lives of trans people in danger and furthering tensions surrounding Scottish independence, making claims about “same sex schools” and “sex equality”.

FM Nicola Sturgeon has called it a blatant attack on scottish independence and has promised to fight against this situation. She has also accused the UK government of using trans people as a weapon in the debate of scottish independence, and I am inclined to agree with her.

As angry and disappointed as I am, I wish I could say I was surprised. terf island continues to terf and trans people continue to die as sufferers of violent crime, economic disparity and suicide. Spread love, check in with your friends, fight your battles until we don’t have to anymore.

I love all you trans people in scotland and the uk and the world and I wish you the best <3

If you are in the UK, please sign this petition:

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/636802?fbclid=IwAR3NrqWDWCNEfMrSexz92gx3QBgLsP__StvhvuYtWTGrfmpL_5CJ8As2Uc8

This law would force schools to out trans kids to their parents. This will put countless trans kids at the risk of abuse.

It says exceptions can be made if there is a fear of risk to the child, but GUESS WHAT? Abusive parents don’t walk around with a big A stamped on their forehead. Plenty of them are good at hiding their true nature. A teacher can’t know for certain how safe a home situation is.

Every case of a outing a child to their parents should be treated as too high risk. ALL OF THEM.

HI it would be lovely for you or anyone to share and/or donate to my amazing friend Matthews top surgery fund!!

Matty is an amazing person that I feel honored to know. We met online AGES ago like centuries and then last year in February I flew out to England to see him. AND IT WAS AMAZING. He is simply the best and he took me to dalston superstore gave me the ultimate spoons experience and we rewatched skins together and hung out with all his equally kind and cool friends. I WILL literally NEVER FORGET those days with him and I can’t wait to see him once Im able to fly out again to England. EVERYTHING HELPS! From 1 dollar to 10 to 100, know you’d be donating to a truly kind and caring and amazing individual who’s also so hot. He also makes music and loves collecting tiny lego sets. Help him reach his goal for top surgery! TYSM!!!

Sending all the love and light in the world to Sarah Jane Baker. I've seen first hand just how much spirit and dedication she brings to the frontline of the fight for trans rights in the UK. We cannot allow the fascists to lock up any woman who criticizes them

Currently in the UK the government does not believe that allowing trans women in women-only spaces is in accordance to the law. The British government believes that allowing trans women into places, such as rape crisis centres and domestic abuse shelter, aimed towards protecting all women, goes against the laws put in place and that it puts the legitimate aim of these spaces at risk.

This can be used as evidence that the government does not see trans individuals as the gender they identify as and they instead only view them as the gender that they were assigned to at birth.

not nearly enough people are fuming about the cass review. do you understand the eventual implications? trans people in the uk will be considered children up until the age of 25, and denied HRT/surgery/even basic measures like legal name change and social transition. all owing to a biased and largely unscientific study. you know what “treatment” for gender dysphoria is recommended by the review instead? conversion therapy.

this will kill people and they know it, because they prefer us dead and out of sight. the government, the NHS and even the opposition have made this clear again and again. a twenty-five year old can have sex, get married have children, join the military, earn a living, be halfway up the corporate ladder or highly successful in their chosen career field by that age, but they can’t transition under NHS rules. this is a death sentence for trans teenagers and they are going ahead with it. it’s trans genocide, same as across the pond.

i’m so afraid for my trans siblings and our futures. i’m so scared for myself. what are we to do if not even the party that is supposed to be on the “left” gives a shit about our safety and mental health as long as they get voted in? labour have become tories with a red coat of paint. it all feels hopeless
