When seeking healthcare (whether for general healthcare or transition-related care), we know that most trans people in the UK don't experience the high standards of care they ought to be able to expect from healthcare professionals.

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

We’ve joined with other LGBTQIA+ organisations to speak out against the ongoing rise of the far-right and hostility towards people of colour, Muslims, refugees, people seeking asylum and migrants. You can read our statement here and the sector statement here: www.consortium.lgbt/lgbt-sector-...

Trans man here. My top surgery scheduled for this week was postponed because they found something on my mammogram. I was called in for another mammogram/ultrasound. Then I had a biopsy last week. Results came back yesterday. I’m cancer-free. Top surgery has been rescheduled for Oct. 24. Exhale.

A new report from TransActual demonstrates not only the emotional toll, but the degree to which trans people are having to reshape and limit their lives to avoid the new dangers posed to us in the UK. Read the report at: tinyurl.com/community-li... #Trans #EqualityAct #EHRC #TransRights

This details out exactly what I referred to yesterday. The only rational debate Ive seen about issues faced by trans people happen in trans spaces. The second cis people are involved the chances of it becoming irrational increase a millionfold. If theyre GC, its doomed from the start. 1/

Another reply, nigh exactly the same as the last but the end is now the attached. So no improvement AND they removed "The Government is proceeding with its manifesto commitments to deliver a full trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices, and to equalise all existing strands of hate crime," (1/2)

How Social Media Fuels Both Hate and Hope for Trans People www.transvitae.com/h... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Hardly surprising since pretty much all of the media have been carpet bombing us. We need a PR and evidence blitz. There is no evidential basis for the hatred. February 2025 yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

“This has to be the turning point for England’s maternity services and particularly for black women if we are to achieve equity.” The Health and Social Care Committee's latest report blames racism for the disproportionately poor maternal health outcomes experienced by Black women.

The Being Intersex In The EU report.. '1 in 7 intersex respondents (15%) say that they had been physically or sexually attacked in the 12 months before the survey.' What is the rate in the UK? What steps has UK Gov taken to ensure intersex people's safety post-Supreme Court decision? Does it care?

I know we’re all on tenterhooks about when the new EHRC Code of Practice will be laid in Parliament. As it can only be laid on a “sitting” day, almost certainly this will now be after conference recess. The first sitting day after that is 13th October. Then it’s laid for 40 sitting days. So—😅 1/

New UN Commission of Inquiry report reinforces the consensus among experts around Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza. As the Israeli govt escalates its assault on Gaza City & destroys Gaza’s remaining civilian infrastructure, states have a duty under Genocide Convention to act.

1/🧵 Archive finds. This is the sweetest letter I’ve ever read at Kew. On the pros and cons of issuing National Insurance contribution cards for trans people based on their lived gender. The “debate” sounds familiar, right?

A nice example here of how the same story can be reported in two very different ways. The first is the Times, the second the Mail and the third the News Letter, all papers that are anti-trans. Note how the Times took the chance to spin it and quote Sex Matters.

I’m reading a book about the history of conversion therapy in 20th Century 🇬🇧 and it’s striking how much the NHS had exactly the same institutional issues back then as they have in trans healthcare right now. Everyone blamed everyone else, complaints went nowhere, and politicians ignored it
