@juliegrrl @micheinnz And people in the US fleeing the persecuting states (those who can) are #IDP. (Likewise in the UK, if it's happening.)

@pauamma @juliegrrl @micheinnz Ah, Internally Displaced People, I see.

Yes, it's a disturbing trend to see and I worry about those that don't manage to leave.

@pauamma
It is happening in the UK too, although I'm increasingly worried that there may soon be no safe place for trans people to displace to. Two of the three candidates for leadership of the SNP, and thus of the Scottish government, publicly oppose trans rights.

Things are suddenly looking pretty bad here.

@juliegrrl @micheinnz

@simon_brooke @pauamma @juliegrrl Hasn't been all that sudden, but you know about boiling frogs.

@micheinnz In Scotland, it looked as if we had won. Just three months ago, members of every single party in our parliament voted in favour of #SelfID. The parliament passed it by 86 votes to 39.

To go from that to where we are now in three months is... rapid.
