Who could possibly have foreseen that an effort to separate and demonise women based on appearance might backfire 🙄

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social doesn't have the time for a meeting with pro-trans groups, even when the request is from someone who has actual experience in the field, yet has the time for anti-rights organisations. We are taking notes, and you will be held accountable!

We’ve published the DfE FOI and Annex A. It confirms the Secretary of State (Bridget Phillipson) met Sex Matters on 5 March 2025, before the FWS Supreme Court judgment. The meeting was to discuss "steps to prevent violence against women and girls". 1/ drive.google.com/file/d/1Cdvb...

Think Scotland is free from fascist tactics? Or that it was just aimed at trans people and asylum seekers? Expect lots of faked stories blaming marginalised communities news.stv.tv/west-central...

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

It isn't "incredibly upsetting" to be accused of being trans - it's a fucking compliment, given that some of the coolest women in the world are trans. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

He saw the UK designate Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation and went "hey, what a great idea" Trump is directly inspired by the Labour government and people are still pretending like Labour aren't facist.

More people arrested for "embarrassing the government", wasn't even paint on a plane this time

This. By failing to correct the supreme court judgement, the government has betrayed every trans person in the country People who've done everything asked of them by ridiculous NHS pathways or bureaucratic gatekeeping over the last 15-20 years find ourselves without promised protection or safety

Of course one of the twisted parts of all this is that businesses are more likely to be listened to than trans people, whose lives it directly affects, rather than companies having to sort their toilets out.

Horst Wessel was used in a similar way following his death.

Sex workers are experts on their own safety. Ash Regan's Prostitution Bill claims to protect them, while completely ignoring their voices. But Scotland For Decrim are advocating for the marginalised. I was honoured to sponsor their event, & stand up for workers' rights✊

Dear @tacc.org.uk as CEO of TransLucent, which is trans led (myself and Prof Stephen Whittle OBE) can I just confirm we have not met with the EHRC for likely 18 months. We will confirm the actual date as soon as we can. As always, thank you for your hard work to support trans human rights.

Charlie Kirk was a right wing extremist hatemonger who was murdered by someone even more right wing and extremist because he wasn’t extreme enough. The media and the president of the United States spent the entire day blaming the left instead. That’s where we are, factually.

The EHRC are, from their own website, "an independent statutory body with the responsibility to encourage equality and diversity, eliminate unlawful discrimination, and protect and promote the human rights of everyone in Britain"

How incredibly convenient.

Right-wing: encourages violence against political and moral opponents Also right-wing: apparently surprised that it wasn't just their supporters listening

WHOA HEY! WE FINALLY GOT A PROGESTERONE STUDY! Now when a gender clinic says to me "Well there's no evidence it helps..." I can say "OH REALLY NOW?!?!" *slaps research onto table*

New statement from the Lemkin Institute of Genocide Prevention, released today (5th September)

What better way to try and deny you're actually being biased than by handing the keys to SM & JKRF to do all the dirty work of imposing the ban everywhere through the threats of legal action?

Any organisation that dares to keep the status quo of the last 20 years because, say, nothing bad has happened is apparently going to be at risk of being sued And thanks to JK Rowling, every nasty bigot in the country will have access to legal funding and unlimited publicity

Govt have total control over what happens next. They can require the EHRC produce a code that is compliant with the Human Rights Act and the public sector equality duty. They also have a range of legislative options open. If they choose not to act, they are responsible for every bit of harm.

Graham Linehan is the perfect example of ‘sunk cost fallacy’ within the obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobia movement. There is no conceivable world where he will EVER admit he was wrong - so all he can do is keep digging deeper into radicalised transphobia!…

It's all very well ScotRail abolishing peak fares but the train is now rammed. Next thing you know there'll be nobody on the road and the climate won't get any worse 💚

Revising *very specific* hate speech laws, I imagine. Not so much a blanket reversal, and more a case of carving out some very particular exemptions.

We haven't even got to the EHRC bathroom ban yet 🙃

This. They're trying to pressure the police and courts to treat us as subhuman and not as protected in law as everyone else It's scary af Is this the build up to removing ours and immigrants human rights via ECHR withdrawal? It's scary af

When 'for all purposes' meant just that, including the SDA 1975. "The Government has always intended that, once a full gender recognition certificate is issued to an applicant, the person's gender becomes for all purposes the acquired gender"

It's actually becoming very very dangerous to be trans in the UK.

Stickers in support of trans youth on the lampposts outside the office, spotted this evening.

Sultana's "I will always stand with trans people" didn't last very fucking long, did it.

u mess with 1 of us u mess with all of us - old transsexual proverb

Over 80 trans+ and LGBTQ+ rights orgs have signed a joint letter to MPs demanding full Parliamentary scrutiny of the EHRC’s new Code of Practice. If passed unchecked, it risks huge harm to rights and protections. Read our full statement here: tacc.org.uk/2025/09/01/j...

2 days of final submissions ongoing in the Peggie v NHS Fife employment tribunal case, where witness Dr Beth Upton has been subjected to the worst in-court dehumanisation and harassment we have ever seen - the judge ‘permitted’ lawyer Naomi Cunningham to openly misgender Dr Upton throughout the…

This is exactly the same shit Rosie Duffield pulled. Gradually getting more and more bigoted with every post to see how far she can push it. Even if you put the transphobia aside, getting pushed around by some no-mark just makes Your Party look so weak

It being 10 years since our official divorce, today is the first day I've not paid my terfy, og trans widow ex any maintenance Been a long time coming

I did a girls first shot for her today and ngl it’s pretty radicalizing realizing how fucking easy all this can be

“Trans people being denied the very same medication that cis people are given without question. Many of the refusals are for people that are already on HRT" ✅ Restricting legal recognition ✅ Restricting freedoms ✅ Restricting health care www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

'Safe third spaces' for all trans people are not a thing, will not be a thing, and every transphobe claiming that that's a viable solution knows this. Who's going to build them? Who's going to fund them? Who's going to run them? What are trans people meant to do in the interim? Disappear?

You know you're getting old when the only time you wear a catsuit is to stop the midges biting when you're gardening...

Really excellent thread

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

If I had to bet, it'd be surgery with some level of risk or maybe just required bed rest, but any medical care will be the best so don't expect anything other than a large taxpayer bill On the other hand maybe they're exposing him to gamma rays to see if they can make him the Hulk

THEY'RE DOING THE CARTOON!

"Protecting women and girls" is standard fascist propaganda but it's just worked against trans people, so of course they're trying it elsewhere

Any chance that those who can, please add a response to this thread before the end of this weekend. It’s very important we have data to show the Supreme Court. Yes - we’re going to do this.

Remembering back around 5 years ago when trans people were regularly accused of hyperbole........ LOL!
