No organisation existing solely to eliminate trans people should be a charity.

#PrEP
prevents HIV acquisition. 110,000 people are currently on it in England but some communities (black women, people in rural communities) are underserved. To end the epidemic, all must have access. Getting PrEP into pharmacies would make it easier for many. This is the urgent goal for 2026.

Terrence Higgins Trust CEO: 'Why 2026 must be the year we unlock PrEP through community pharmacies' (EXCLUSIVE)
"We have the tools, the evidence and the opportunity. Now we need the courage to act," Richard Angell OBE writes for Attitude.

"I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.” What does this do for women's rights?

Contact us if you have been affected by the policy changes of Girl Guiding or the Women's Institute. This could be as an individual, or because you lead a local Brownie group who don't want this policy change. We want to help protect trans inclusion.

If I were an investigative journalist in the UK (are there any left?), I would be having a good look at the extent to which NHS leadership seems to have allied itself with a fringe medical movement that more or less condones conversion therapy.

Whilst I don’t disagree with the sentiment of this from the EHRC, it’s in stark contrast to their own transphobic approach to a tiny minority just trying to live their lives 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

#GayPride.

We've fought too long for women to be defined solely by their bodies. 🔥 Women are not a monolith, and our existence can't be defined through a hateful, narrow lens. Womanhood looks different for us all, and we all deserve a safe space to share our experiences, perspectives, and identities. ✨ (1/2)

Why can't we ever get even the slightest break at all. It's absolutely relentless The new proposed head of the EHRC looks to be another dedicated anti trans activist. It's unbearable how much power they have. Just leave us alone
