I had the honour of interviewing Jeff Conyers, president of the Dollywood Foundation, about his friendship with Dolly Parton and continuing her legacy. This was my dream (there were tears on both sides!), and it was so special hearing his stories. 🩷🦋📚 metro.co.uk/2026/09/22/dolly…

The entire £83,000 #CelebrityTraitors prize fund going towards supporting refugees and queer displaced people feels bloody wonderful in such wretched times marked by fearmongering and inhumane politics – even more so knowing there will be many right-wingers enraged by that. ❤️

The new NHS guidance for trans people could put lives at risk

The NHS has decided to make it even worse for trans people – by forcing them to use wards based on their ‘biological sex’.

it’s weird how transphobes think the reason a lot of trans people are suicidal is due to the fact they’re trans and not the fact that society bashes them for existing

Trans women will finally be banned from female wards in hospitals under new NHS guidance. Hospitals have been told that wards, lavatories and changing rooms should be segregated by biological sex, not gender identity ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

A completely unnecessary and cruel policy, driven not by evidence or genuine need, but by bigotry and prejudice. Its ultimate goal is to marginalise trans people, push them out of society and deny them the healthcare they need.
