Absolutely disgraceful. PSNI pandering to ingorance and hatred. How about educating people instead? If someone doesn’t like an event, no one is holding them by the neck and forcing them to attend. I more than willing to bet the people protesting did not have children listening to the stories.
The PSNI could not have made a worse decision if they tried.
One of NI’s political parties is behind this hate - the #TUV led by MP Jim Allister who sits in House of Commons.
This is the consequence of attacking trans rights; then they come for gay rights, they come for womens rights, and immigrants, and transient people. Until they have come for everyone except white men.

Asking about #TransRights has become the best litmus test for detecting assholes in any community or setting.

Dating someone? Ask about what they think of trans people.

Getting employed? Ask about inclusion policies for trans people.

With friends or family members? Ask about what they think of trans people.

In an online community? Make a post about trans people.

In a school or college? Share your pronouns in introductions.

Talking about social issues can bring the best or worst out of people. Trans rights can be talked in any social setting. This way, You can also make us more visible! cyberheart_purple

"It has been six years since the Gender Autonomy Act was passed in Iceland. In those six years, none of the usual fears that anti-trans advocates warn against have manifested - and trans people, non-binary people and intersex people have enjoyed increased rights and protections."

"The law allowed people to change name and legal gender marker by filling in a form with the national registry (no medical diagnosis required), non-binary people were legally recognised and can get ID accordingly, and health care for young people was enshrined in law."

Planet earth calling UK, are you there ...?

Is Pedro Pascal, one of the most vocal progressive celebrities, the victim of a social media smear campaign, and if so, why? Pascal, who has criticized Hollywood's "passivity" over Gaza, spoken out in support of trans rights and called JK Rowling a "heinous loser," is facing viral accusations on X and on some news websites that he has been groping women. Some of these rumors are based on faked videos and an interview that he never gave, despite it being cited by Google's AI summaries. "The basis of the allegations against Pascal isn’t true, and none of the women he’s been accused of groping have said so themselves," writes Kat Tenbarge, for her Spitfire News newsletter. "What’s happening to Pascal across these viral posts is a smear campaign, one spearheaded by bigots against a celebrity whose inclusive stance directly challenges their beliefs." Here's more.

From my local WhatsApp group:

The Welsh Government are doing a consultation on its pro-trans schools policy. UK Gender Critical activists are upset and are trying to brigade it to push it in an anti-trans direction. Please fill out the consultation to try to reinforce the pro-trans stance.

https://www.gov.wales/rights-respect-equality-anti-bullying-guidance

The deadline is 31 July 2025.

NB: Please only respond if you live in Wales! If you don't but want to help, please boost this and share it on other social networks. Thank you. ✨
