The Good Law Project fighting the Government for the rights of Trans Kids on Terf Island.
Imagine the backroom manoeuvres there are in the chambers of UK Law against them.
"Don't rock that boat. Don't cause a scene. Fit in or fuck off!"The quite and petty oppression of the British Isles.
I remember when the Brits were doing this to ALL Queer kids, Queer kids like me as it turned out.

Tony Blair dragged his feet on Section 28 and repealed only in his second term.
I see kids today being who they are and how I had to pretend to be straight "or else" at my age, teachers were forbidden from saying "It's OK" and the kids were vile.
And that's what we're doing to Trans Kids today, it makes me so fucking mad 😡

Still vexes me how they had the audacity to describe loving relationships as "pretended family". Pretended! How dare they.

I am ashamed to live in the UK in this timeline with #transphobia being forced upon society by a tiny bigoted minority.
I genuinely don’t think this #EHRC ruling is what most people want.
It will be looked on as the #Section28 of its day.
Shame on all politicians of all stripes that brought us here.

She cheated me of my Queer youth...

You see, when you fuck over as many people as Margaret Thatcher did, people will be dancing on your grave for many, many years.
'Section 28' you bitch! :catjam:

#Section28 caused real harm. It erased lives, denied support, and left lasting shame and silence that many are still living with today. Please sign and share this petition calling for a public inquiry into the impact of Section 28 on #LGBTQ people. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

@Geri Thank you for fighting Section 28. It stole my Queer youth and most Brits looked the other way. I can never forgive them for that.

Thank you all for trying, most didn't....and I had my queer youth stolen from me because of it.
Trying to fit in with you Straights for a quiet life, did not make me a happy boy as it turned out.
It wasn't until the 21st century when Tony Blair finally got round to undoing this travesty, so fuck him for his slackness, but most of all fuck Thatcher for fucking over my Youth.
You don't forgive shit like that.
Ever. -
I don't wear jackets that often but when I do I love combining badges from my collection! #Opensource space agencies to #emfcamp to repeal #section28 history with a little bit of Albanian retro advertising (cockto polish!) And, of course a #crochet radish!

It’s LGBTQIA+ STEM Day!
Just a quick post to point out that today is LGBTQIA+ STEM Day, which aims to celebrate to celebrate the work of LGBTQIA+ people in science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM), but also to highlight the barriers still facing us.
For more information see here.
This also provides an opportunity for me to send my best wishes to all LGBTQIA+ staff and students at Maynooth and around the world!
P.S. I’m reminded that it was 22 years ago today that Section 28 was finally repealed in England and Wales. With reactionary fforces around the world attacking our hard-won rights, it is important that we cling on to what we’ve got.

I had a lovely morning participating in the Being Human Festival 'History, Memory, Resistance: Section 28 in Wales' event in Cardiff. I lived through this period and was quite nervous going in, honestly, but it was a really warm and healing space.

My documentary on Section 28 showed me how censorship works — and how it returns in new forms. So I’m hosting a one-day conference on the rise of anti-rights movements and what we can do. 🗓️ Save the date: mailchi.mp/94450cee9bbe... Please share in your networks #Section28 #LGBTQIA #HumanRights

The Paedos in the GOP are so fucking afraid of Queer people, it would be funny if they weren't trying to erase us all from existence.
Take it from this child of Section 28, the Queer kids you don't kill off with suicide and murder will never forgive your society again for what you are doing now.I hate this country for what it did to be as a Queer child and you can take that fucking flag and shove up your Fascist asshole.

"Small Acts"
Sent off a letter to my MP about the upcoming Trans Bathroom Ban and why as a Queer I can never find acceptance and safety in National flags. Bonus mention of Section 28 screwing me over as a kid.

@katelynburns.com I've been saying this for a while now, and I fear a similar result to your Trump at the next election.
This Labour Government are bringing back Section 28, it's war now between me and them 😡

Britain is not safe for my kind.....
I'm Queer and the Government wants to erase us, they're telling kids we're dangerous and predatory, while letting their rich perverts get away with it. They'll turn the public against us, they have the money and the time and we have nothing.
Today I've written a letter to some MPs imploring them not to bring Section 28 back, I expect it not to work, I don't expect to be heard, I am nothing.

@morix Section 28 is Back! 😡

You bring back Section 28 Keir, and I'll say you fucked over the Rochdale prosecutions for the State, and people will be hungry to hear it Keir....because they hate you and they hate the British state.
You'd abandon your children if they came out as Trans, you hate Queers, I hate you.You peado enabler...that's why you love trump, innit?

Section 28 is back Straights, all thanks to Labour.
This is why I will never feel 'British', your state hates me and my Queer breathern, always will.
Are you going to change it or just look the other way?
I know the answer sadly, not enough of a fuss will be made, not enough voices will be heard, we just don't matter as much, that girl was been lied to when she was told this was a land of 'tolerance'

CW: UKPol Trans S28-2 Electric Boogaloo
The paragraph ends, but the way, with " Schools should be mindful to avoid any suggestions that social transition is a simple solution to distress or discomfort."
This is the same bullshit as "publish or promote homosexuality as a pretended family relationship". But it is more... It is a further indication? admission? that they are coming for social transition completely not just the medical transition they've already sought to kill.

CW: UKPol Trans S28-2 Electric Boogaloo
It also seems to be pushing the idea that gender identities are only for trans folk and, given the next sentence talks about not enforcing gender stereotypes, seems to be suggesting that gender identity (the preserve of trans folk) is doing precisely that...
