The hype around Lia Thomas was a manufactured moral panic, full of false claims of trans people stealing awards from cis women. Science backs up that we do not hold an advantage. So, even if a trans person dominated their sport, this would not be a reason for exclusion. It just means she is good

It's so difficult to get cis people to understand the jk Rowling thing isn't that she doesn't like us so you should punish her. It's if you give her franchise any kind of support you are contributing to trans people being excluded from society

30000 plus abusive and threatening messages Heather and I have been subjected to this week. Most of them transphobic in nature.

Exclusive: Reporting about British Medical Association critique of Cass Review was 'factually wrong' 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/exclusive-re...

Incredible statement from the Church in Wales on the ignominious Code of Practice: "The Church in Wales will not use equality law exemptions to exclude trans people from our worship, our sacraments, our pastoral care, or our common life." www.churchinwales.org.uk/en/news-and-...

Church in Wales says trans rights. I did not see this coming, brought me to tears & I'm not even a christian

Important🧵from Cal at the coal face. “the school staff cried” doesn’t move me any more, it angers me, as they proceed to act on govt policy and cause harm. Streeting told me, meeting the trans youth whose medication he’d removed was “really upsetting for me, really hard”. We need more than tears.

What's happening to trans rights in Britain is more chilling than what's happening in the US. In the US there's an ecosystem of zealotry. The people dismantling trans rights openly lie, not just about trans people but about a whole host of things. For them to dismantle human rights feels natural.

Excuse me Police Scotland. Please arrest Thomas.

Adrian Ramsey singed EDM240. This is after the guidance was announced to go into effect I wish I could say this was better late than never but I expect it's a "I can back this cynically knowing nothing will come of it and I can act like I care about trans people" 8 days after the last other person

@neunion.bsky.social what are you doing about this? In Sept your members will be *forced* to harm trans children. In many cases that harm is going to be very significant & very stressful, & many teachers could be forced to carry high levels of guilt & stress. Especially when (& I mean “when”)… 1/3

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

I don't think I've ever seen a group so litigious as gender criticals in the UK. They want to censor any and all criticism of them. Every time I criticize JK Rowling on here, there's like ten TERF accounts snitch tagging Rowling on X asking her to sue me. Thankfully, we have a First Amendment here.

Trans segregation starts on the 5th of August. We will not comply.

Ten years ago in the UK, even conservative MPs were supportive of self ID and warned about the dangers of trans bathroom bans in the US. Now a center left labour government is implementing a nationwide bathroom ban by fiat on August 5th without even so much as a vote.

Starmer's government was more viciously queerphobic than the Tories ever were. From making the puberty blocker ban permanent on day 1, to the transphobic schools guidance, to the conversion therapy protection bill, and all topped off by the EHRC's Segregationist Charter. That is his legacy.

🗓️ Save the date: 9th September. Join us in Parliament, we have to fix the law. Read more: www.transsolidarityalliance.com/post/ehrc-co...

9th September, second week of Burnham on the Dispatch Box for PMQs, and just before party conferences. Cancellation due to the heat wave might turn out to be a blessing?

On his last day of PMQs and cabinet Starmer oversaw the order to enforce the trans segregation guidance that makes Britain one of the most trans hostile nations in Europe - creating a culture of gender norm enforcement, social suspicion, and vigilante toilet police.

New: the EHRC’s code of practice is set to come into effect on 5th August, after the minister made a commencement order that has now been published. More to follow. www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2026/78...

This EDM will be instructive. #OSINT #EDM603 edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

A school community has responded with messages of love and support after a student-made Pride flag was destroyed in a fire being investigated by police as a possible hate crime.

Dr Natacha Kennedy, a trans academic from Goldsmiths University, says "There’s no point in beating about the bush, the government’s new anti-trans “guidance” for schools is about harming trans children..."

Victoria Casey KC argued that the Cass report ‘is generally regarded outside the UK as not sound’.

Oh no, I hope nobody shares it. Wouldn’t want the transphobes / anti abortion groups getting upset.

Amnesty is a globally respected human rights charity that once won a Nobel Peace Prize and campaigns against, among other things, torture, the death penalty and unfair trials, yet on exposing the GC movement’s anti-rights approach to trans people, suddenly they’re making it up and not to be trusted.

All trans people and allies should attend this tour and protest segregation. No hope without trans rights!

The Greens are calling on Burnham to change the law and protect trans rights 💚

What if I told you one woman, with little accountability, is wearing the name of the United Nations to launder false anti-trans forum posts into global legal fights, including the US Supreme Court? Our reporter S. Baum investigates Reem Alsalem in our collaboration piece with The Nation.

1/🧵 We do need to talk more about the illegality and lawlessness of the Cass Review. Hilary Cass cited Anne Wæhre's then-unpublished “study” via “personal communication”. It was later published at doi:10.1007/s00787-024-02508-5 and doi:10.1111/apa.17530, and the papers have now been retracted.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jul Sentinel After attacks by two Rep Members of Congress and threats by FL's Atty General, a trans girl has been forced to drop out of the North American Irish Dance Championships being held in the Orlando. Bullies... [paywall] www.orlandosentinel.com/2026/07/08/t...

You only have to remove human rights from one demographic to be a far right, fascist government. Labour are a far right, fascist government. If you think that’s hyperbolic, and that the demographic they’ve dehumanised and removed human rights from don’t matter… …then YOU are a far right fascist.

Quick look at the Cass Report re: data from Denmark It is interesting to see that Cass is presenting data from Waehre that she received as part of “personal communication” - what else did she absorb directly from this now discredited source?

NEW: The Archbishop of Canterbury states in this letter that she believes the government’s draft bill banning conversion therapy will still allow for “non-abusive” practices which attempt to change someone’s sexuality. This is the loophole campaigners like Jayne worried about.

Game on, Nige.

Watching the S2 of Gundam 00 for the 1st time. Just got to episode 8 and, is Tieria trans? You can't tell me he managed a passing voice without hours and hours of voice training. Or dancing (and running) in those heels without practice. And I mean, just look at how well she pulls that dress off.

@translucent.org.uk is challenging the EHRC CoP please see here for more details and how to donate ❤️❤️ translucent.org.uk/translucent-...

So turns out the big Civil Service office in my area will be having unisex toilets installed during its refurbishment. Congratulations Sex Matters on safeguarding your 'single-sex spaces'.

Labour has lost more than half its cis LGB voters since GE24 In the “gayest parliament ever” Lab has gone from 42% to 18%. Labour’s policy offer for cis LGB people has been neutral, so most of this loss is likely because of Labour’s extreme transphobia. And because they’ve read the poem.

Heart-breaking. I will never forgive the likes of Labour for their vile transphobia.

More than 11,000 signatures, and counting, in a single day. Please sign this. And share it through your networks. Stand with trans people. Let's show them how many of us there are.

Hey dolls, spread this far and wide. Make it into t-shirts, flags, buttons, stickers. Highlight the UK's trans segregation laws that are about to come into force in the next week. There's no pride in segregation!

My life has changed from what it was before Trump took office. Being in Massachusetts is protective, but not perfectly. And the biggest mindfuck is that other Americans don't seem to know it. My sky has fallen and they tappa-tap on their keyboards like "Why is Erin Reed making trans people panic?"

Ben Cullen, a leading figure of the "Raise the Colours" campaign, will stand trial for three separate charges regarding a total of 78 indecent images of children. I have only seen this covered in local newspapers, so far. Grim as it is, it needs wider coverage www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2624087...

Yay, the sisters have arrived.

The UKSC ruling that stripped trans people of legal rights STINKS of corruption. A religious judge and a rotten EHRC loaded with terfs usurping Parliament. Baroness Hale says the outcome would have been different if she had sat at the FWS appeal. @goodlawproject.org @robinmoirawhite.bsky.social

Trans rights or no votes for you

To all the late transitioners, thank you for your visibility. You didn't just change your own life. You provided a roadmap for everyone wondering if they, too, could still transition. We are so grateful for you.
