Both of FGEN’s Co Chairs sat down to talk with journalist Emily Dixon about being trans in academia and how recent events such as the Supreme Court and the OfS fine on Sussex University have affected the environment. https://archive.is/oYqXS

This is one reason that FGEN is more important than ever, Both of our co chairs @natacha.bsky.social and @parkesland.bsky.social were interviewed for this article. We've been quiet publically for the last few months, but we have been busy in the background more news in the new year.

My critical analysis of the anti-trans astroturf group, the LGB Alliance, has just been published in the special edition of the Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies. I recommend the whole special edition - it's open access, no pay wall. bulletin.appliedtransstudies.org/article/4/1-...

🗣️ 65% of trans adults reported verbal abuse in public spaces 👊 24% said they have suffered physical violence A new YouGov poll reveals safety crisis for trans people in the UK: https://goodlaw.social/u5y8

Has Streeting EVER said ANYTHING that isn't hypocritical in the extreme? He's created such despair for trans kids that they are self-harming, starving themselves, not drinking & dying by suicide. If he genuinely wanted to end despair, he could do so today. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We all know that the UK as the homeland of extreme transphobic bigotry, but a few rays of light seem to be piercing the stygian darkness of TERF island lately. The estimable @valorievandieman.bsky.social is Leading Off our week talking UK and Ireland.

In @yougov.co.uk polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people. goodlaw.social/ncfw

Due to a small issue we've had to re upload our keynote videos from the FGEN Conference held at Bush House on the 21st June. Now available on our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@feministgenderequalitynetwork

🆕️🚨 After painstaking research, dozens of FOIs and months of analysis we release the Gender Clinic Files which reveal waiting times for every GIC in the country. They lay bare, how far off the mark the Health Secretary's estimation of the average wait is 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/gender-clini...

The new Aussie critique of the Cass Review does not pull its punches about its failures, & makes the point that "gender-critical beliefs" should be declared. Since transphobes have made so much of having these protected by law, they should be required to declare them. archive.is/AqUGz#select...

The Telegraph, which campaigned against the exclusion and silencing of "gender-critical" transphobes is now campaigning for the exclusion and silencing of trans people.

It's just the same story over and over. Anytime a group of doctors take an honest look at the Cass Review they realize it's bunk. The irony is that Cass and her confederates were convinced they were blowing the lid off a major medical conspiracy to trans kids. Transphobe physicians heal thyselves.

FGEN are proud to be a signatory to this letter. The EHRC must me subject to Parliamentary scrutiny

On behalf of our membership, the Feminist Gender Equality Network (FGEN) condemns Newnham College for advertising an explicitly trans-exclusionary Research Fellowship Award. https://feministgenderequality.network/fgen-statement-on-newnham-college-transphobic-fellowship-announcement/

"We, UK trans-led orgs & allies, withdraw recognition of the EHRC as a credible equalities regulator. Her appointment—despite parliamentary opposition—confirms the EHRC is no longer independent, but a tool for anti-trans policy. Cont.... 1/2

EHRC have confirmed to me that they will not be publishing the responses to the consultation on their segregation plan. Just a report setting out the number and 'qualitative themes' of responses - allowing them to spin their own narrative with no transparency! Completely unacceptable.

I think it reflects a change in public attitudes. I’m seeing people realising how evil transphobes are with Starmer’s/EHRC’s toilet ban. There is a grassroots level change in attitudes as people realise what the GCs are like, and Fry is reading the room.

All Speakers: For tomorrow's conference, can you give us a quick couple of lines so that our panel chairs can introduce you correctly...
