The 15 year old trans girl suing Idaho over their bathroom ban took her own life and they had to drop the case because of it. It's not a myth, you fucking ghouls!

The TERF movement has been going for decades and the GC movement has been funded by multiple billionaires for over a decade and they STILL haven't come up with a biological definition of female that includes all cis women and excludes all trans women. Maybe that alone should tell you something

I've not seen it mentioned so here's the UK Office for Equality and Opportunity impact assessment for the new EHRC code It also recognises the likely negative impact on gender non-conforming cis women Might be useful for MP interactions www.gov.uk/government/p...

Some super helpful responses - please keep them coming...

We're complaining to the Charity Commission about Sex Matters describing women who are trans using women's spaces as "deviants". The language is unacceptable (and the statement is wrong in law). We're looking for other examples of it (staff or Trustees) using inflammatory language. Share below?

1/🧵 I made a complaint to the Charity Commission the other week concerning the hate group Sex Matters’ “Easy Read” leaflets based on the EHRC’s interim guidance. The Commission wrote back last week and they are investigating.

Joint response from @transactualuk.bsky.social, @scottishtrans.bsky.social and ourselves on whether the new EHRC guidance meets any of our basic tests. ❌ Unsurprisingly, it does not. This will be the defining struggle of the UK LGBTQ+ rights movement to undo. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/05...

"Forty-nine votes were cast against the new rules, whilst only one vote was cast in their favour", yet still they went ahead with the ban. Clearly, women's opinions do not count!

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

A million views on X for this video where someone harasses an innocent and polite M&S employee about changing rooms. It’s a horrible, nasty society the gender criticals are trying to create.

Anas Sarwar has appointed Carol Mochan, who called the recent EHRC guidance which deeply harms trans people's ability to participate in society "a victory for basic common sense", as Scottish Labour's equality spokesperson. Scottish Labour continues to betray its LGBT rights supporting membership.

Nothing that most of us don't already know but it's great to see cis allies like Tom speaking out on this and directly calling it what it is, transphobia. A fairly good video to share with those without much knowledge about this.

Really concerning to see this kind of rhetoric from practising members of the Bar. If this said "we don't know what proportion of gay men are pedophiles but we know it's some of them" I would hope that people would recognise this for what it is. Sadly they don't when it's about trans people.

Simply contemptible, revolting, for a member of the Bar, Naomi Cunningham, to endorse the idea that trans women are trans "for reasons of sexual gratification" or because they "are fetishists".

As we await GANHRI’s accreditation report, we reveal the EHRC’s preposterous response to previous international criticism. tacc.org.uk/2026/05/25/e...

Apparently far right commentators have decided I’m nonbinary (I am not nor have I ever claimed to be). So now the definition of ‘woman’ has narrowed further - in addition to looking like a Disney princess to satisfy arbitrary femininity criteria we must also apparently be transphobes to qualify.

I don’t think enough cis women appreciate how much all of this noise around ‘bathroom bans’ will affect us. (I also think it’s notable that after a chat between me, a cis woman and Steph, a trans woman, a correspondent text in to ask ‘why wasn’t there a woman in the conversation, for balance?’)

This is probably one of the best articles I've read that succinctly tells the story of the rise of transphobia in the UK and the impact and implications that has. If you have any friends, family, co-workers, anyone who is unsure why we're so scared right now (and why they should be too), send this.

You'll need to go for a long walk to calm down after you read how the UK got to here on trans rights. If you're only ever going to read one piece on trans people, this would be the one.

The Gender Critical don't want people to read this. It would be a real shame if you re-posted it. archive.is/2026.05.22-0...

Interesting to note how the Statutory Guidance (and Act) encodes, legitimates - indeed ushers in - hegemonic value judgments with phrases like "reasonably object." In apartheid South Africa, or segregationist USA were white people's objections to sharing facilities with Black people "reasonable"?

[1] Given Sir Keir Starmer’s supposed ‘rival’ is also anti-trans & that UK Labour, Reform & Tory are anti-trans, it’s worthwhile for British LGBTQ ppl investigating moving to Ireland where the European Court, the Constitution, Irish law & all mainstream Irish political parties support LGBTQ rights.

[2] Whilst British citizens are blocked from moving freely in the EU, the Anglo-Irish Common Travel Area Agreement allows British citizens to move to, work, live & vote in Ireland - & vice versa. Here is an overview of the facts: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/moving-co...

Wouldn't normally link directly to the Guardian but this cartoon by Ella Baron is just so poignant and beautiful. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

THE CHAFF PROJECT Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great! How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public. Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

A family in Idaho has dropped their lawsuit challenging a state law barring transgender students from using the restroom after their 16-year-old trans daughter died by suicide. Idaho AG Raul Labrador praised the decision without mentioning the girl's death or why the case was dismissed.

You’re not alone. Our trained LGBTQIA+ volunteers are here to listen to any concerns you may have as a result of the revised EHRC guidance being laid before parliament. We’ve supported the community through trials and tribulations for over 50 years, and we’re here for you today.

This is the moment of truth for everyone who considers themself to care about social justice. The words of Martin Luther King are particularly apt right now. "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

Even violence, state or otherwise, will not stop me living my life. I will not change a single thing about how I've been living for over a decade regardless of what some new garbage "guidance" might say. If they made it illegal to breathe I'd still do it. Fuck you

This report is certainly a worthwhile read by Amnesty. It does some digging on how much anti-trans propaganda we see in the UK and the numbers it find are shocking. On average 9 articles PER DAY on trans people in the last 5 years. Does that seem proportional? media.amnesty.org.uk/documents/Li...

Amnesty International's analysis of how the 'gender critical' hate movement spent millions promoting their prejudices - and furthering the goals of the Christian Right. media.amnesty.org.uk/documents/Li...

This, from Amnesty International, tells you all you need to know about transphobic bias in UK mainstream media.

Thread It’s interesting to see that as the UK & US* remove human rights from trans & non-binary people, other nations are moving in the opposite direction. Even Ireland, the only country to have a land border with the UK, is drawing up research to provide adequate trans healthcare. [1]

PSA

Apparently the timeline today is talking about whether the Starmer government is anti-trans. So just to remind folks that they have: - Welcomed the courts striking down the GRA and trans protections in EA2010 - Laid waste to youth healthcare and made it pretty conversion-y - Done a trans section 28

I wasn't planning on bursting into tears this morning but this is so beautiful. Juniper had the voice of an angel.

➡️ The Minister for Women and Equalities has again said she plans to lay new EHRC guidance this week, in a media appearance. A reminder of how organisations like us, @transactualuk.bsky.social and @scottishtrans.bsky.social will be judging any new Code of Practice:

THIS IS HUGE: Colorado Supreme Court orders Colorado children's hospital to resume gender affirming care for trans youth. www.coloradopolitics.com/2026/05/18/c...

Nothing will change in the UK until the press is taken in hand, example #763,859

We keep hearing folks rejecting the warning bells about the trans genocide, saying “it’s not like there’s gas chambers & ovens”. Aside from the reality that the Holocaust didn’t start w/ gas chambers & ovens, this comes from an ignorant understanding of what a genocide is. Let’s talk about it. 1/15

an excellent 🧵 When I first went on Twitter in late 2023 to go public about Alice‘s inquest and my personal story I admit I felt uncomfortable about the genocide framing I saw being discussed by trans people at the time. When I began advising parents, yes, leave the uk if you can, the penny dropped.

"we are a country built on decency, fairness and respect” sure, keir, sure. we were number 1 in europe. now we aren't far off russia. peter and his friends at the guardian helped, and continue to help, do this.

Joanne Rowling's fellow traveller Kellie-Jay Keen is speaking at Tommy Robinson's rally tomorrow. Transphobia is the engine that pulls the train of fascism.

"Here is the resignation letter from Health Secretary Wes Streeting" 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Get fucked you shithead transphobic servant of catholic pedophiles.

You never know who is quietly watching you be yourself as an out trans person, and using your confidence to build their own.

The trans community in this country is treated appalling. They deserve to be treated with dignity, like everyone else. Piers Morgan's obsession with this question is bizarre and disrespectful.

If Labour had just put people in place that liked trans people, none of this would be happening. It's not that trans people are powerful, it's that people who hate trans people tend to hate loads of others as well, and prefer making things worse than doing anything to help.

Full details below. It looks like it's been somehow watered down even more since the last Kings Speech, as it is very open endedly exempting conversion therapy and specifically all done in a healthcare or religious setting. P p62. www.gov.uk/government/p...
