This law isn't about students' safety or privacy — it's about making life harder for a small group of students who already face bullying, harassment, and violence.

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

A lovely gathering in Macclesfield last night for @macctech.bsky.social. Hearing from @kim.town on how we’ve lost our focus in community in tech, and sharing the NION women story with a compassionate crowd was encouraging. Thanks to MyCWA and MaccPride for convening such a warm crowd 💜

Thinking of everyone in the trans community in the UK today. Two days ago the UK government announced London to host IDAHOBIT forum 2027 including these nuggets: “London set to become the global stage for progress on LGBT+ rights” “government funding will advance international LGBT+ equality”

We’ve been lucky to receive high-profile support since we started our campaign, and we know visibility and vocal allyship matters. It doesn’t come much higher than Sandi Toksvig, who’s done so much for women’s equality and inclusion. Thank you 🙏 notinourname.org.uk

Timely @amnestyuk.bsky.social report on the growth of organised anti-trans activism in the UK - no surprises for those who follow this actively, but really useful in pulling some key empirical data together: www.amnesty.org.uk/knowledge-hu...

Congratulations to @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social on somehow making Theresa May’s Conservative Party the most socially progressive government of the last decade, I suppose. Really impressive to be that fucking ghoulish a person.

Doing this the day before recess, to make sure there is as little scrutiny as possible for their campaign of hatred. I cannot overstate how much anyone connected to the Labour party is my enemy.

I spent months speaking to trans politicians and scholars, as well as one victim of viral transphobia, to write about how trans hatred has become a political strategy to gain votes in Brazil for @globalvoices.org and @noornetwork.bsky.social: globalvoices.org/2026/05/21/a...

Members Maia Kobabe and Malinda Lo, and others spoke with The Guardian about book banning. I think the pull quote really gets to the heart of it, "They're trying to narrow the worldview of young people."

The newly published EHRC Code of Practice leaves trans people in the UK today with less rights than they had prior to last year’s Supreme Court ruling. Read our full statement here: transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/05...

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just voted to require teachers to forcibly out transgender youth against their will. Censoring "gender ideology" does nothing to advance the basic promise that every child deserves the same opportunity to thrive, and that includes transgender students.

Vile, despicable people that need removing at the first opportunity Voting for the lesser evil just gives you more evil

CALL YOUR REPS NOW! SPREAD THE WORD! HR 2616 was snuck onto the calendar for a vote TOMORROW. This is a pro book banning bill which seeks to ban ALL books by or about trans individuals.

The Trump administration’s attacks on the Southern Poverty Law Center are about all of us. We have a fundamental right to speak truth to power and support the causes we believe in, whether the president agrees with them or not.

Long before colonialism imposed rigid gender norms, Trans+ communities in the Philippines held sacred roles in society. Let's reclaim this history #IDAHOBIT 🏳️‍⚧️

The Supreme Court recently undid decades of progress, clearing the way for politicians to propose unfair maps that weaken the voting strength of people of color, especially Black voters. We won’t go back — and we won't back down.

How are transgender parents currently registered on their children’s birth certificates in the UK? We are supporting the TransReg study, conducted by researchers at the University of Zurich and KU Leuven, to gather anonymous data on the birth registration process for trans parents.

Booksellers like to have exclusive editions just for their customers, and interest in CAMP HALF-BLOOD has been so high, I think THE WILD ZONE holds the record for number of different editions. Here are some that will be available in US/Canada. In UK, Waterstones will also have a special edition!

Kids should be in their communities, not languishing in a detention facility. Children with disabilities or in the foster care system are particularly at risk of this increasingly common, violent practice. Our government has to do better.

We’re rallying in Montgomery today to show politicians that we won’t let them take away Black voting power without a fight.

The voters have the power.

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

We took to the streets in Montgomery, Alabama, for the National Day of Action in defense of our voting rights. We will not go back to Jim Crow maps. Black voters deserve to have our voices heard.
