Wild that ITV prints this without a word abt the UK govt's attacks on trans healthcare, privacy, freedom of association & right to live as ourselves. The govt's IN THE PROCESS OF legislating for trans segregation & a trans S28. Yes, it's awful in the US too, but stop with this Look Over There shit.

"...so what this really suggests is that people power isn’t just about a huge number of people being in the streets but about the building of pressure and momentum." www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTck...

Could anyone honestly watch the news of more than 500 arrests for peacefully protesting this weekend and conclude that the UK Government cares an iota about the rights and civil liberties of the people of these islands, writes Steph Paton✍️

This will wind up putting so much pressure on disabled loos. All for what? A bloody folk demon.

Yeah, this. An AI 'response' scrapes internet content according to algorithms programmed by people. 60-70% of responses have been shown to be faulty in some way or outright wrong, yet more & more ppl choose AI answers over e.g. Wikipedia. I worry this will feed the spread of misinformation.

Final Regulatory Impact Assessment Gender Recognition Bill - Nov 2003. "This is the only way to rectify all human rights breaches...ensure full legal recognition in the acquired gender across the range of situations in which gender is significant in law."

"Far too many suffered but "there were more people across society unwilling to believe the worst of others than otherwise".That is perhaps something to cling to, as it is clear the tendency for unprincipled leaders to stoke hatred of vulnerable groups is as strong in the C21st as it was at the time"

The EHRC gamed this in advance, phrasing EVERY question as "Is this statement clear" rather than "Is it fair?" or "Will it cause harm?" The result? They don't even plan to read the answers. They don't care how many support trans ppl. They only want to push their agenda to make our lives unliveable.

This was in the UK. And he's been so misgendered & deadnamed by the press that his identity as a trans man has been almost completely erased.

Oh look, yet another one who thinks you can do a thing that will directly fund attempts to eradicate trans people, then follow it with a patronising claim that you support trans people. Thanks, but we've had enough of that from the govt. Truth is, you just sold trans people out for the money.

Reported by the media, but he was so misgendered & deadnamed nobody would've known he was a trans man, not a woman (more was made of it being the prison Lucy Letby is in) They invisibilise trans men on purpose We mustn't let them theviewmag.org.uk/sodexo-limit... www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Gomez being an "ally" the same way the Labour government is: 1. Do something that will directly contribute to attempts to eradicate trans people. 2. Follow it with a patronising claim to support trans people to the hilt. With allies like these, who needs TERFs?

Rowling's point seems to be: "Forbid trans women from working or appearing anywhere cis women & girls might be". I wonder if she still tells herself she's not a fascist transphobe before she goes to sleep at night.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

It's true - ppl often don't know what others are going thru. For me, long term (35yr) GAD & depression have been retriggered by recent events and growing fears about being in various places as a trans person. My hope lies in building communities of mutual support, so this post feels really fitting.

Well said TEN, which joins TACC in withdrawing recognition of EHRC & will push for GANHRI accreditation to be revoked. Dr Stephenson's appt, the Lemkin Inst's Red Alert Flag & the FWS case (which they note solely targeted the 8500 trans ppl with GRCs who HAVE met the UK's strict tests) all feature.

Statement: Effective immediately, we will no longer cooperate with the EHRC. We no longer recognise the EHRC as a human rights body. It is no longer independent, and we will not engage with them. We urge other orgs to do the same.

Poor transphobe risks being called a transphobe "merely by writing this article." Well, yes, because it's full of transphobic statements, you plank.

I’d say they are crazy even by Sorting Hat Sandra standards but they aren’t. They are just showing their true colours. They think it’s safe to do so now. Because bigotry has become normalised across the globe under the guise of free speech!

A candidate who is willing to throw transgender people under the bus is a candidate who will use anyone’s rights as a bargaining chip to win elections.

Spot on. They've painted her as a Victim Of Woke: a caring, professional woman & cause celebre for the terfist agenda, bravely taking on trans Dr Beth Upton In reality she's a transphobic racist who mocked Pakistani flood victims, wanted to send bacon to a mosque, and called Dr Upton "freak" & "it"

What do we keep saying? Scratch a transphobe and you find a horrible fucking racist.

"If you’re pasting in contracts, asking legal questions, or asking [the chatbot] for strategy, you're not getting legal advice…You’re generating discoverable evidence. No attorney-client privilege. No confidentiality. No ethical duty. No one to protect you."

“No guidance on how to include trans people...only how to exclude them" "Significant potential that human rights of trans people will be impacted" "Would require every person using toilets to be checked... based on subjective tests related largely to appearance” www.thenational.scot/news/2534402...

Starmer taking a leaf out of Trump's book and appointing right-wing media figures to oversee government departments. Never has a UK political party reneged so completely on its mandate to the British people. I mean, the mandate was pretty simple right? Don't be the Tories.

My new book 'Riftwitch' is out on Halloween! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🎃 Tough trans witch Hobbes hunts vampires & incubuses. Tweedy Stuart runs an innocent (sorry, incubus) B&B. Can their budding closeness survive not just vampires, but the truth? Preorder: mybook.to/Riftwitch #ownvoice #LGBTQbooks #GayRomance #GayWitches

Shit, this means 100 days till my next book releases. I've got sooo much editing to do!!! On the plus side, it'll have witches, incubuses and vampires, and be queer as hell.

Seeing as none of the mainstream media is covering the most well attended @transpridebrighton.bsky.social ever... Here's my contribution. We caught the very start of the march outside Brighton Dome, the weather held and the crowd watching and marching were full of love, defiance and resiliance.

It’s right here in the 2011 Code. Trans people have never needed a GRC to access single-sex services. It’s always been on the basis of “the gender role in which they present”. The ignorant SC had no idea how trans people pee, and got absolutely played. www.equalityhumanrights.com/sites/defaul...

The updated EHRC ruling will go thru without a single MP vote being cast unless MPs actively intervene to prevent it. This IS the usual procedure for updated guidance, BUT this is highly unusual & contentious guidance, which removes human rights. It MUST face scrutiny.

Wiping trans people out is the sole goal of the Gender Critical movement. Paper genocide - extermination by legislation. As this CNN report confirms, Trump obsessed with it. I believe wet lettuce Vichy PM @Keir_Starmer has agreed to do the same here as part of our trade deals.

Unless there are Nuremberg trials for everyone involved in this system, it will be a moral failure of historical proportions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

UK folks please sign & share the shit out of this if you haven't. It's currently on 79,687 - we have 20 days to get 20,000 votes. A lot of e-petitions don't amount to anything but this one is an actual opportunity - we *can* force a debate!

Great idea for UK trans ppl to share good experiences of dining, shopping & travelling, and to encourage businesses to show support for us! Transpilot is trans-led & uses reviews from LGBTQIA+ ppl "to show you where kindness, respect, and inclusion are alive and well." transpilot.org/about/

Inside Europe’s billion-dollar anti-gender movement A new report reveals how groups critical of so-called gender ideology across Europe raised $1.18 billion to target abortion, sex education and LGBTQ+ rights.

Good clear letter signed by 33 Lab MPs, expressing concerns at the EHRC Draft Code post-Supreme Court ruling. UK trans ppl heard the ruling with dismay, knowing well how the press would spin it. It was grim watching the EHRC feed it too. Thanks to all 33 of those MPs 🙏 Let's hope for more.

The EHRC is meant to protect everyone’s rights. But internal documents reveal a different story: repeated meetings with anti-trans lobbyists, legal bias, and secret coordination. We filed the FOI. Here’s what we found. tacc.org.uk/2025/07/01/f...

TACC filed FOI request for EHRC/Sex Matters comms. Released after EHRC public consultation on trans guidance closed,results include 🔸Private meetings, one the EHRC asked to be kept secret 🔸Submissions outside consultation rules 🔸SM guidance on what the EA10 'should' say 🔗 tacc.org.uk/2025/07/01/f...

So, on one hand, we have people who are born trans. On the other we have people who CHOOSE to make those ppl's lives miserable. How can she possibly equate those?

Sarah Owen says there are many organisations that will not engage with the EHRC based on the lack of trust, so what will she do proactively to build that? Stephenson says "A new chair has the opportunity to reset relations", true, if the new chair doesn't hold the same bigotries as the previous one

I'm so fucking sick of this being the "alternative" to the Tories and Reform. What fucking alternative? It's pretty obvious that any party that would rather hurt trans ppl, disabled ppl and immigrants than challenge right-wing narratives is a right-wing party.

Scorching "Who you see on this side of the dais: this was never the plan...The majority is leading a coordinated effort to push us back to segregated America based on race, ethnicity & national origin, based on sex, sexual orientation, gender identity & disability...Hell no" youtu.be/8lyK2EqC4Qg?...

'Luxury beliefs' says the billionaire from her castle. These people are deluded if they think their victims are defending their dignity and safety on a bored, middle-class whim. Fact is GCs can (and do) publish books but they can't expect anyone to believe their supporters also support LGBTQ+ folk

Love this

Labour MP @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social eloquently explains why the government’s concessions on welfare reform do not go anywhere near far enough I urge every Labour MP to watch this

In the latest instalment of 'Tories: The Sequel' - Labour MPs were threatened & bullied to abandon disabled ppl How quickly those at the top forget an MP's job is to represent their constituents, not throwing them under the bus for their careers. All power to the MPs still holding the line.
