The only clinic in Scotland has decided to pre-comply with recommendations set out in the Cass Review ahead of the Scottish Government’s actual assessment of each recommendation.

Management should be hauled over the fucking coals for that.

A developer is once more seeking permission to build an 18-hole golf course on a protected nature site – Coul Links, just outside Embo, on the east coast of Sutherland. In the middle of a climate emergancy, in a time of strife and hardship - people are planning to strip away even more of Scotlands beauty and nature for the gains of the rich to play around for a few hours. Also Fuck Golf Courses

Now that the anger has calmed down, the desperation and sadness is creeping in. Imagine being so despised as a group of people that a simple law meant to make your life easier gets people so angry that an entire nation might break up over it. That's how hated we are. The English government would rather risk losing Scotland than allowing us our deserved rights. I feel like screaming and I'm sure you do too

But there is a good side to this. Look at how many people, not just in Scotland but all over the world, stand in solidarity with us. Look how many scots are ready to abandon the UK, partly for us. Look at how angry people are over this, not at us but for us

I don't think I've ever felt this desperate and hopeful at the same time

So England believes a child (16) is mature enough to have sex with an adult (gross) but that child can’t decide their gender identity at 16?

Hi, @prideknights can you spread this around, as we know the Holidays, this time of year, in general, can be challenging for queer people so some good news might lift some spirits. Its a historical moment in Scotland and we can only hope the rest of the UK follow their lead.

quick note for all my non scottish followers: you will likely see uk media referring to the GRA reforms that just got passed in holyrood as 'controversial', that is an incorrect statement. the GRA reforms had a majority support from all but one major party (i'll let you guess which one) and won the vote with a substantial majority. Scotland is in absolutely no way perfect and neither is our politics, but trans rights are not controversial here amongst anyone who's not a vitriolic transmisogynist.

Scotland has officially called for:

An immediate ceasefire

Recognition of a Palestinian state

The international criminal court to investigate Israel's war crimes

It's a small step, but I'm proud of my country. The rest of the UK must follow.

Scottish Labour Party straight up embracing the Cass Review. A review filled with holes which is being used to justify on-going wide-spread transphobia and denying people access to trans healthcare.

!! IMPORTANT !!

this is a consultation form by the scottish government about banning conversion therapy in scotland. they need responses; i highly recommend filling out this form if you are a scottish citizen and care about ending conversion practices within the country.

(image text in alt)

!! THIS CONSULTATION CLOSES ON TUESDAY 2ND OF APRIL, IN THREE DAYS !!

i hate to ask, but please reblog this post. i cannot confirm anything, but i have heard rumours of members of the far-right taking the form and campaigning for conversion therapy to stay in place.

while this form is not intended for non-scottish citizens, it does not ask for any confirmation that you live in scotland. non-scots, do with that information what you will.
