Penny Mordaunt isn’t our best option for Prime Minister, she’s yours Jayne
Jayne Ozanne writes in Pink News that Penny Mordaunt is "by far and away the best" candidate and that Jayne believes Penny "is a true champion of all the LGBT+ community". Which is just wrong. She isn't our best candidate, she's yours Jayne. By which I mean semi-wealthy white cisgender queers. She's got your back, and judging by your endorsement of her after her tirade? Clearly you're fine with sticking the knife in ours if it means you don't have to look over your shoulder so much any more.

Watersports governing body, FINA, bans ‘male puberty’ from women’s competitions
Its my view that these rules won't stand up to legal scrutiny and will amount to discrimination despite their best efforts not to. Not only that, but it will also put pressure on healthcare organisations to allow younger transitions to happen - something which the anti-trans forces behind campaigns such as "protecting women's sports" also campaign against.
Is Maya Forstater the world’s foremost trans expert? The week in Trans 28/08/22
Unlike the first week of this trans media watch, which mostly centred around one story about JK Rowling, how she was the real victim...
Women’s Aid decides some women are less equal than others
Women’s Aid, founded in 1996, are a sadly vital and much needed resource and refuge for women across the UK. Domestic and sexual violence are a scourge that primarily affects women with low income women in particular not having the resources or ability to escape as easily.
