To my fellow queers who are tweeting about the no outsiders program and protests by mostly muslims outside primary schools.
I understand your pain, particularly those who were most impacted by section 28 and the legacy of that. BUT please have some more fucking nuance.
Currently our sexuality and gender is being weaponised against the British muslim community.
How do we know that? Because we are focusing on a marginalised minority (muslims) rather than the mostly white majority (christians).

A twitter thread on (bi) women survivors of violence feeling responsible to report or take action to protect future women.

She is expected and feels expected to submit herself to a gruelling and traumatic examination, interaction with police and court process whilst being fully aware of the very slight chances of a favourable outcome or a successful prosection.

Question 12: The olympic committee have great standards on access of trans people to sport.
QUESTION 12: NO whilst it may help trans people feel able to access sport it will not actually change the ability of trans people without medical interventions being able to access competitive sport, there are already strict regulations on this which won't be affected.
