Asexuality isn't protected under the Equality Act. We aren't protected by the conversion therapy ban, but we're 10% more likely to experience it. We're still pathologised. That's what @stonewalluk & I are working to change. Find out more in our report:

The right-wing debate strategy of demanding minorities 'condemn' stuff is just a silencing tactic. It's designed to stop you from talking.
And it works by stun-locking you in a never-ending cycle of 'condemnation' until you get bored or refuse, at which point they smear you.

The gutsy girl grounded the guy with a gut. 32 Chunk, proved his prominent posterior was worthy of a whopping win. But in the end, Chunk got Grazered.
Let’s crown our Queen that’s thicker than a bowl of oatmeal, 128 Grazer! 👑

4 bears entered, 2 bears left. Only finalists remain! 💪
435 Holly, the monstrous marshmallow, was burnt by the behemothic 128 Grazer. While 128 turned up the heat, 32 smothered 901’s flame with his colossal caboose.
Which bear will reign supreme? 👑 Tune in tomorrow!

Moor burning to enable aristocrats to engage in blood sport is not OK.

I was not an award winning sport dog today. And that's OK!
Our ring was hours behind schedule so after hanging out at a dog show for 8 hours I wasn't so interested in performing. I still did everything I was asked. I just did them slowly. Turns out I wasn't the only one feeling this way. 50% of my class didn't get qualifying scores!
But do you know what's more important than a ribbon?
A burger! And @bunsenbernerbmd's mom brought me one! No wonder she's MommyFav! It wasn't my best day in the show but I got to sit on Dadguy, got cuddles from MommyFav and got a burger. That makes it a bestest day ever! What a great family!And I can redeem myself tomorrow. Today Chesnyy got to shine.
My ❤️ is happy.

This really is a huge story - should be front page of every newspaper tomorrow:
Nearly all schools - already severely financially stretched - will lose thousands, many tens of thousands and some over £100k from their expected budgets next year *because DfE added them up wrong*

This change will:
🏘️ Transform our towns

Trans+ and Intersex people are being let down by a Government that wants to deny their existence and their safety.
We cannot allow our communities to be attacked in such inhumane and degrading ways as we have seen during the last week. #TogetherAlways

The slew of projects now being referred to by government as "Network North" is a major road building programme with a few previously-announced public transport schemes thrown in for cover. Nobody should be fooled into thinking this is a better outcome for UK transport.

Hey girl are you the North of England, because I want to promise you the greatest rail you’ve ever had and then immediately disappoint you.

New hate crime statistics reveal that England and Wales continue to become less safe for LGBTQ+ people.
Notably, news of an 11% rise in transphobic hate crime comes in a week where trans people have been mocked and portrayed as dangerous by powerful politicians. 🧵

Here's the Senior Political Correspondent of the Daily Express approvingly sharing an outright Nazi account.
Given the account unironically used 'Aryan' as he endorsed the Tory delegate's view on Enoch Powell and multiculturalism, Calgie can't plead ignorance.
Jacob Corteen retweeted
you complete moron. I work in the NHS, part of our job is contacting people with or without cervixes, specifically in the context of smear testing, and *anyone* with a cervix is at risk of cervical cancer. you’re putting people at risk for the sake of bigoted semantics
@Conservatives know what a woman is.
I know the vast majority of hardworking NHS staff and patients do too.
That is why I ordered a reversal of unacceptable changes to the NHS website that erased references to women for conditions such as cervical cancer.

I can't tell what's more depressing: how predictable it all is, or how stupid the public is
ALT Panel 1: Rishi Sunak: ...and that's why you should vote for me Crowd: You've destroyed the country Crowd: The NHS is dying Crowd: My gran can't afford to heat her home Crowd: There's sewage in the rivers Panel 2: Rishi Sunak thinking to himself: Oh gosh I'm losing them... wait, I know! Rishi Sunak: I hate trans people Crowd: Well I'm sold Crowd: He's got my vote Crowd: First good thing he's said all day
