I tweeted this and fell asleep, I realise now I forgot to turn off replies so some truly lovely individuals are swarming this tweet with anti-trans bigotry peppered with personal insults about me. Truly a charming lot!
I’m usually very good at limiting replies so that nobody needs to see nasty responses - I apologise for that! It’s a good curation of new block list additions though, if you so happen to scroll through.
For the avoidance of doubt: yes, I have a law degree and do research/teaching in that field, AND I’m a great big trans ally. I have a little, tiny platform and I use it to support trans voices and speak out against transphobia. And I block/don’t engage with transphobes.
If you’re new here since I just awoke from my nap - hello! Welcome! Apologies for the binfire of replies to the above, but I won’t ever stop shouting and supporting trans people.

I’ve been reassured that the disbanding of the group doesn’t mean a lesser appetite or motivation re the Bill itself, and I’m especially reassured by the news that the Safe Access Zones Bill will be brought before @ScotParl before summer recess.
The group being disbanded was a reasonable cause for concern, and I do still feel it was a premature action before legislation is brought before Parliament. But, it is important to acknowledge that the Bill itself is coming very soon, which is extremely positive news.
This Bill is a long overdue and necessary piece of proposed legislation which will reflect what service users, employees and campaigners have been saying for years now - that harassment outside healthcare facilities is traumatising, triggering and completely…

I spent a day yesterday being called stupid and a misogynist, having people tag my uni/place of work, saying I shouldn’t be an NHS employee, and one whipping up a bizarre conspiracy that I’m actually male - because I dared say something negative about a prominent GC.
I didn’t even name the person in my tweet - I pointed out the hypocrisy of claiming cancellation/silencing from multiple MSM platforms. And I got a day of abuse for it.

GCs aren’t lacking in voice - if anything, they become more and more emboldened as the moral panic continues.
I am NOT, in any way, claiming I’m a victim - I’m not. I felt a little anxious but blocked the nasties and had support from people who care about me. It’s just a clear example of how you only need to be a tiny bit negative about or question a GC and the abuse floodgates open.

I had the most wonderful birthday weekend, I’m feeling so grateful and full of love. C took me to The Ivy on Saturday and we went to the cinema (saw EVIL DEAD RISE, which was an absolute hoot) 🩷 ImageImage
I did a beautiful beltane/pre-birthday ritual, tuned into myself and did some writing. I also did a little beltane handfasting ritual on myself, a commitment to giving love, time and energy to myself in the new season ✨ ImageImage
(Handfasting is a traditional celtic beltane ritual - most often seen in marriage ceremonies, but people also use it to turn that energy inward and use it as a vow to the self)
