PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

Ed Davey and I have written to the Minister for Women & Equalities, asking her to withdraw the EHRC Code of Practice. The Government have repeatedly assured trans people that they have protection from discrimination, yet this guidance does the opposite, breaking decades of precedent.

Thank you to @eddavey.libdems.org.uk and @mariecgoldman.bsky.social for sending this letter about the draft EHRC Code of Practice. We fully agree that it needs to be withdrawn, and that women's rights and trans rights are not in conflict. 🧡🏳️‍⚧️ We're re-sharing the letter, with Alt-text. 👇

The new EHRC Code of Practice is not fit for purpose. It does not provide clear guidance or do enough to protect everyone from discrimination, and it is not compatible with longstanding British values. @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk and @MarieCGoldman.bsky.social have written to Bridget Phillipson. ⬇️

Okay, so apparently bluesky is going full puritan, harming sex worker accounts and even accounts that post artistic nudes. Instead of simply letting an account put a warning label on individual posts, which has worked FINE, Bluesky will now “moderate” the entire account by nuking it from your feed.

THREAD: I AM NOT GOING QUIETLY: The EHRC’s New Draft Code is erasing my human rights. I am 74 years old, and I am watching my human rights being stripped away in real time. 1/17

Just like the Bsky team loves to manually label people who criticize them as rude to hide them from sight, I am sure they are going to treat the ability to label entire accounts as 'adult content' as an excuse to hide entire swathes of the site that upsets them, the auto-mods, and investors.

There’s about a week left to respond to this consultation The same team is *currently* undertaking a review of the evidence on adult hormone therapy, and is likely to use the same methodological bullshit when it delivers its conclusions later in 2026

Over 80 clinicians, researchers and academics have signed an open letter raising serious concerns about NHS England’s recent evidence reviews of gender affirming hormone treatment for trans youth. Read the full letter here: transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/05...

Here's the former EHRC commissioner gleefully pondering whether trans people should have any form of legal protection. BTW, "biological sex" is as real as "biological race." It means whatever TERF/MAGA ideology says it does, at any given time, for any given case.

it’s really weird that the line is “you never had those rights” when the EHRC has an official YouTube channel with videos from 7 years ago explaining that we did youtu.be/HHzBoQJgHoc

If you’re not trans, & don’t think this is relevant to you, remember that poem about ‘first they came.. ‘ which is so celebrated? If you look at it, you’ll see it erases LGBTQ ppl who were the first the Nazis came for & the last to be freed by the Allies.

Really worth looking at this folks. A brilliant idea.
