Trans people need your help - what can you do? It’s been a pretty tough year for trans people with their rights being written down by the nonsensical ‘For Women Scotland’ Supreme Court judgment, … translucent.org.uk/petition-on-...

Be ready

A light in the darkness - EHRC draft Code says WI amd Girl Guides CAN lawfully choose to admit trans women / girls. Since the FWS Supreme Court judgment, we have seen multiple attempts to ban trans women and girls from womens clubs and association. The most prominent have been the WI and the GG.

It come to something when University Rowers have a better developed moral sense than the U.K. government. Blade on the feather! cherwell.org/2026/05/13/o...

Gosh! A potential political leader with moral courage. I can see why the right wing media / nasties are worried by him.

Hampstead Ponds - are you a trans user? I am working with a trans-supporting organisation likely to apply to intervene in the Hampstead Ponds case to ensure that trans and trans supportive voices are heard in the High Court. Trans men would be particular welcome.

Please retweet.

Kishwer Falkner demonstrating: (1) she has no idea about the realities of life. (2) the state of the law after For Women Scotland is entirely unworkable, (3) the EHRC ‘Guidance’ is from cloud cuckoo land, and (4) you should brush your hair before appearing on TV.

Antiques Road Show - VE Day Special. BBC 2 at 1900 this evening. The BBC are repeating their special edition which, towards the end, include me speaking about my grandfather - Sgt Alfred White MM That’s him, third from the left in the front row.

Quite a lot of unpleasant salivating from planet transphobia in the last 24 hours at the news that Bailey in Bailey v Garden Court and Stonewall has been given leave to appeal to the Supreme Court.

And this evening’s winner of the Internet is…

The politics of hate. What country do we risk becoming?

Amazing timing from Charles III who dropped in on the White House when two presidents with something in common were in office. Now Nixon was a crook, but at least the Oval Office didn’t look like a tart’s boudoir. (With thanks to ‘All about Great Britain’ for the photos)

Breaking News - Britain agrees to right to Falklands being reviewed but result of American Revolutionary War to be reconsidered by the UN first.

Letter to the BBC

A good belly laugh. I’ve had a tough morning, working on a knotty disability discrimination claim with an imminent time limit, so I loved being sent the tweet below. Apparently some folk are suggesting trans people should engage with ‘Saggy’ Law Association or whatever it’s to be called.

Why do I look at photos of Ms Braverman and think ‘Wensleydale’?

Toxicity Warning - The Lunatic Fringe In the same week that we have main stream lesbians showing responsibility and inclusiveness via DIVA magazine, we have Martina Navratilova using her platform to call trans Doctor Beth Upton a sexual predator. It should be remembered that the Dundee tribunal …

Barristers at the Weekend Iris emerges from her winter hibernation. It’s been a day of warm Spring sunshine here in Somerset and so the perfect day to get my 1958 MGA ‘Iris’ out of winter storage, check/fill/replaced fluids and head out into the Somerset lanes to blow away the cobwebs.

Turing the tables. Liz Truss wanted to be the Donald Trump of the U.K., but it rather looks like Donald Trump will be the Liz Truss of the USA…

Trump announces airstrikes on the Vatican’s uranium enrichment plant ‘concealed below the Sistine Chapel.’

Obvious now.

I’ve always hated fascists. They come in many flavours. The handsome chap in the photo below is my Grandfather, Alfred White MM, newly made sergeant in Normandy in 1944, while serving with 8th Battalion, the Rifle Brigade.

Trans-dimensional chess and leaky plumbing. Equality Minister Brigit Philipson has said the the new Equality Act Code of Practice on Services, Public Functions and Associations will be laid before Parliament in May AFTER the local elections.

After deciding he is the Pope, the Donald will be leading foot patrols of the Straits of Hormuz

The Trump-Vance effect…

That went well…

Another Monday, another anti-trans myth debunked. So Forstater and Joyce have been touring the media halls pouring out their hatred of anything pro-trans with the particular focus of girl guides having the temerity to ONLY exclude trans guides from September.

The USA rejected Kamala Harris for this?!!!!

It is important that folk know Reform’s standards. Their leader in Scotland made a deliberate, disgusting homophobic joke. The National have published it. Offord hasn’t hasn’t been dismissed from Reform. Only follow this link if you’ve a strong stomach. www.thenational.scot/politics/259...

AIUI, in certain parliamentary circles, Westminster Streeting is referred to as ‘Delores Umbridge’. Fine words butter no parsnips and his actions belie his words. It is true to say that trans children and young people haven’t been forgotten by Wes. They have been abandoned by him.

Well, I have never been on page 9 of the Financial Times before…

Barristers at the weekend - Sunday Extra! Speaking to a relative this weekend, I was reminded of my involvement with the management of, and appearance as an extra in, the filming of ‘Longitude’ in 1999/2000 which starred Michael Gambon as John Harrison who built his marine chronometers …

‘Girl Guiding’, or, ‘The Germans have a word for it…’ Not the longest compound noun: Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz ! Which is, guess what, a law. (I will leave you to look it up.) But rather: Schadenfreude Trans lation: joy at the misfortune of others.

Solving non-existent problems. Given that the IOC has ‘solved’ the ‘problem’ of trans women in women’s sport by imposing genetic testing on all women and girls, I trust they will be dealing with the ‘problems’ of unicorns in equestrian events, Greek triremes in rowing and flamingos in croquet.

Negotiations to end the Middle East War continue…

An extraordinary statement from the EHRC’s On 19 March the three U.K. Human Rights Commissions promulgated the attached statement on the importance of the European Convention of Human Rights, particularly in the context of immigrant rights and major … www.equalityhumanrights.com/our-work/adv...

Coming to an employment tribunal near you. The Supreme Court case that brought ‘welcome clarity’ Sir Keir?

I have many blessings in life, not least the good friends I have, but up there is the wonderful place in which I live, tucked away in the hills, beyond the reach of street lights or ‘civilisation’. I have just spent 20 minutes stargazing. Every day is a gift and a joy. Ev’nin Orion!

Why am I completely unsurprised…? www.thepinknews.com/2026/03/17/e...

Trump hearing voices now…

“The former president had tears in his eyes and called me ‘Sir’”

Trump regime suffers multiple hits from ‘lampoon’ missiles…

How easy would it be for parliament to correct the erroneous Supreme Court judgment in ‘For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers’? translucent.org.uk/clearing-up-...

Policy-based evidence-making again. www.linkedin.com/posts/erin-r...

Can there be any doubt that the US elected a delusional madman?

Some wonderful lampooning of Nigel Farage circulating on social media ATM…

Another Monday, another myth about trans people to debunk. Myth: Trans people (particularly trans women) pose an equal al threat to cis women and this justifies banning trans women from female spaces.

Alien Myths about Trans People from the outer rim of Tufton Street. Or Fiona McAnena and the Clangers. I have been in demand from the media a bit in the past few days and have twice recently been matched with Fiona McAnena from anti-trans group ‘Sex Matters’.

Calling all Journalists! (Assuming there are any left in the UK, that is.) Reform have announced that it is their policy to repeal the Equality Act 2010. A few suggested questions for Farage and Co, and, in particular Matt Goodwin, Reform candidate in Gorton and Denton, and …
