I'm a 57 yo cis white gay man, with a beard and pronouns, who's first political rally was against
#Section28
. The
#LGBAlliance
does not speak for me or my wide circle of friends, which is made of of the whole LGBTQ+ community. And
#TransRightsAreHumanRights
.
I'm incandescent with rage that
@Mermaids_Gender
have had to close their services because of abusive calls which has driven me to make a donation to them. I know times are hard but if you can help here's the link.
#TransRightsAreHumanRights
Due to intolerable abuse, we have made the decision to close the helpline and webchat services for the rest of today and tomorrow. Next week, to enable us to take all volunteers off the rota, we will reduce hours to 9am to 6pm only.
So... I think this is the most important part... Head Terf is now going to have triple check everything she posts... Thank you
@IndiaWilloughby
for standing up to the bully.

6/ JK Rowling’s plausible deniability claim that she has never said anything transphobic has now officially gone. Registered by the police.
I have requested Police contact JKR to remind her that what she says could have potentially terrible consequences for other people.
@EmmaKennedy
@Mr_JSheffield
You're not getting any abuse from this
@UKLabour
member. I've liked and shared your posts. We should be working to the common goal of getting THEM out!
This is scary... someone is obviously rattled at something they've recently reported on. I wonder who? Stay safe
@BylineTimes
and carry on your great work!
Security update two. The same team member who we believed was hacked had blood smeared over the windscreen of his car this morning. This may very well be a coincidence, but rest assured both incidents have been reported to the police
God. Andrew Castle's commentary is inane, boring and utter twaddle! Can you drop him please and while your at it do the same with John Inverdale. They're both middle class, privileged misogynists. You should be nurturing new, younger commentating talent!

Not giving Ann Maria the airtime hence the screenshot.
This is the face of gender critics! Vile, heartless, soulless individuals who tweet such goulish content.

@ThomasWillett9
Hey Thomas, I'm so sorry for the pile-on and abuse you're getting. As a cis gay man, with pronouns and beard, who falls within that demographic I vehemently stand with our trans family and despair at those of a similar age who support the GC cult. Take care!
@MForstater
Thanks for sharing this. Love the statement that has been put out by her with the support of
@Nike
Also, if you're going to quote someone I'd make sure I'd get it right. Laters!
@HumanRightsCtte
An out and out transphobe as chair! Absolutely despicable! Her standing on trans rights means she shouldn't have been allowed to stand in the first place. Shame on you!
@KevsTribulation
Oh dear Kev, you were found out for being a GC bully... and have done me a favour of bringing more GCs to my attention so that I can block. Today is a great day for common sense and trans rights.

@scottygb
This is how a brand truly shows its colours. I applaud
@ITV
for taking this action. I didn't watch the routine until last night and it was breathtaking!
@Peston
For clarity, in order, bearing in mind the 21yo rule and the law as it stands:
Camilla - spouse
William
Harry
Andrew
Beatrice
Doesn't include Anne as rights of succession don't apply to her unfortunately, I wish they'd retrospectively changed it.
Every time I go to the barbers I give them the same instructions for my beard and it comes out differently each visit. Having said that I'm never disappointed.
@Paul_Ilett
@BBCNews
Good god. I'd not seen this. They're giving that woman airtime while not reporting about Mermaids closing some services because of abuse is very poor journalism at a minimum.
You reap what you sow...
By targeting the trans community you have opened the floodgates for everyone who is lesbian, gay or bi to be targeted to. You have fed into the narrative.
Are you having a moment of clarity? An epiphany? I do hope so.
#LGBWithTheT
6. the LGBT acronym trotted out, I wonder if it is laziness, or if some of the anti-drag queen protesters are actually anti lesbian/gay. As I say, I am no fan of drag, and I REALLY hate the sexualised version, but have a think about what you are saying and how you are saying it?
So after exchanging numerous sarky messages on here, I plucked up the courage to ask
@elstjo
out on a "blind date". That date was 10 years ago today. God, I don't know how he's put up with me for all this time! Bless him! I'd be lost without him! Ddxx
@revkatebottley
100%
Men need to call out any of the negative behaviour - cat calls / wolf whistles etc. We need to step up from "not me" to be true allies and educate / stand up when bad things happen around us.
@JimmySomerville
So sorry to hear this, Jimmy. Sorry for your loss. Your early music was the backdrop of my coming out and I thank you and Steve for the music I still listen to today. 💔💔💔
Buggering, buggering, bollocks. After 2½ years it's caught up with me... Not best when I'm supposed to be visiting family and will spending the day isolating in a hotel room!
@DeborahMeaden
I fucking furious! Sorry about the language but we no longer live in a true democracy. I've marched on protests for over 35 years... I still will but at what cost...
I've taken an emergency day off tomorrow as my mental health is very wobbly. I need what I call a "Darren Day". A day where I'd normally be at work but instead just doing my own thing.

a timely reminder of Central Europe under the Nazis. The pictures of people being put on trains is harrowing. Made me think of people in current times being put on planes to

@DorsPatty
Don't you think that if I started with
#S28
back in the late 80s that I wouldn't be well read about the current vitriol you and the other transphobes are chucking around. You should be ashamed with yourself.
Congratulations to Bill & Oti! Even though I didn't vote for them they're worthy winners.
The real winners, though, are
@bbcstrictly
for producing the series in such difficult times.
The backroom crew, the musicians, the professional dancers, Tess & Claudia.

joy!
We are proud to be part of the crusade against anti-trans (and often pretty biphobic too) hate group LGB Alliance, thanks Brendan (image via

@KilclooneyJohn
Sorry John, I'm gay but will only tell you once. Perhaps you can take the "Lord" out of your profile as I'm sick to death of people pushing it down our throats!
Just walked up from the pub after watching the FA Cup Final and saw a couple of young men walking down on the opposite side holding hands, one of them wearing a
#LUFC
shirt. Made my heart sing.
@MarchingoutLUFC
They were dead cute.
#Lewisham
I got seriously checked out by a young, handsome Spanish guy outside work today. It was so obvious I'm surprised the group he was with didn't notice!
Made my day.
Well
#DoctorWho
certainly didn't disappoint. And I love the fact the terfs will be in meltdown! Quite possibly the best episode ever!

UPDATE: Missing teenager Marshall Fowler has been found safe and well in the West Yorkshire area today.
Massive thanks to all who shared our appeal, your support is appreciated.
Got
#HIGNFY
on and as soon as they said that there was a
#GBeebies
person on I was about to be outraged. Then realised that she accepted the booking before she realised she is going to have the piss taken out of her. So naive. No self awareness.
Don't know what all the raging GCs et al are going on about! I think the

I've just walked past is magnificent. So inclusive!
