#UK folks, there's a petition to keep protection of transgender people in the equality act.
It's pretty scary being trans in this country at the moment, and we could use your help to protect our rights.
Feel free to share broadly/openly with others. Steal, boost, whatever. Let's get 100k signatures, please.
It has been reported that the Government may amend the Equality Act to "make it clear that sex means biological sex rather than gender." The Government has previously committed to not remove legal protections for trans people, an already marginalised group, but this change would do so.

And totally agree on the disability price tag π€’
I work part-time and I totally love my job.
But the feeling of relief I get on a Wednesday evening when I know I've now got 4 days to rest before work again is something else ππ
I'm usually big advocate for listening to your body and responding to what it needs.
Except right now it's telling me things I don't really want to hear, and that's really flipping annoying.
This wheelchair rugby league world cup final game is next level.
