tacc.org.uk/2025/10/03/i... Brilliant investigative journalism. Shedding light upon the truly murkey dealings of a group of anti Trans lobbyists cosying up to government departments & spreading misinformation with malice.

Absolutely fantastic video by @jessiegender.bsky.social. She frequently hits it out of the park, this one knocks it several towns over.

I’m sorry, but Sex Matters is an extremist hate group. Here is Maya Forstater complaining that the updated Scottish schools guidance that bans all trans pupils from gender-aligned toilets is STILL not good enough, because it doesn’t mandate “outing” trans kids. www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

When I graduated college it was a criminal offence to be gay & 14 men, on average, were jailed each year in Ireland. Suicides were a drumbeat. The only option was to flee & find safety, which I did, in Britain. Now the UK is persecuting LGBTQ ppl, whilst Ireland does not. So Brits are …

Another excellent Media Storm. Could one reason “male violence against women…” doesn’t get used in headlines & policy discussion comes from the well-funded anti-gender, anti-trans lobby (eg Sex Matters) who push trans women as the threat? @helenawadia.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m...

We have been advised that ‘Gender Critical’ NHS staff have been trying to locate some trans people by searching the NHS computer systems. We ask everyone worried they may have been targeted, to make a Subject Access Request to learn who has searched your record.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social A helpful analysis.

If you care about trans people, listen to trans people and not Wes Streeting.

Wow. Some days in the UK it feels like we're alone, but clearly not if 650 companies and organisations are openly standing up for us 😭 I don't see 650 companies standing up for the transphobes! Just sour billionaires. www.attitude.co.uk/news/uk-busi...

Just for clarity: Wes Streeting is an bald-faced quisling, whose rights as a cis gay man wouldn't exist without the struggles and sacrifice of the trans and gender diverse people who came before him. If you believe him now I have a bridge to sell you.

Cis allies, especially cis women let’s do everything we can to bin transphobia. There are some really awful people out there using us as a reason to take away trans rights. Don’t let them use you!! We need to stand up and fight back. Protest, write to your MP and make a stand. #bintransphobia

Elon Musk and several of the largest accounts on Twitter are doing everything they possibly can in this moment to focus the violent retribution people are braying for right now towards trans people. It is IMPERATIVE to be loud ally right now and defend the trans community with our whole chest.

Mexico tripled its minimum wage and announced record productivity. Iceland yeeted out its bankers, then posted $13bn GDP from a nation holding a population of under 400,000 people, which has since grown to over $33bn. Are you getting it yet?

Delegates at #TUC25 have voted for a motion which will see the TUC "campaign publicly on its policy for gender self-declaration"

The Equalities Minister is due to carry out an Equality Impact Assessment of the EHRC's updated Code of Practice, in line with PSED. To help her with this critical analysis, @transactualuk.bsky.social sent her these impact reports: transactual.org.uk/impacts-of-t... She can't say she didn't know.

Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."

⚠️ Women in the UK don’t need to be told what danger looks like — we live it every day. ⛔ One woman is killed by a man every three days in this country (Femicide Census, 2023) ⛔ In 2023, 1.7 million women experienced domestic abuse (ONS, 2023). It is not trans people who perpetrate these crimes.

Charities and medical professionals have warned of a “staggering increase” in GPs denying gender affirming care, even when it is requested by a specialist clinic. Doctors are claiming they are either not competent to provide the service or they are not contractually obliged 😖

An absolute masterclass from UK Quakers on how organisations of all kinds can stand up for the rights and safety of trans people, even post Supreme Court ruling and with all of the EHRC's cruelties: www.quaker.org.uk/documents/re...

Violence against women is a serious and pervasive issue. Its weaponisation - whether by the far right or transphobes - to spread fear and hate towards marginalised groups is disgusting and won't make any of us safer. Our government must reject these divide-and-rule politics.

This is the latest report from @transactualuk.bsky.social documenting LGBTQ+ people's responses to the Supreme Court ruling. Extremely hard-hitting evidence we should disseminate far & wide. Huge thanks to everyone who shared their narratives. Full report here: transactual.org.uk/impacts-of-t...

Thank you so much, @labourlewis.bsky.social 🙏 Folks, we’ll shortly be launching a coordinated campaign to pressure Bridget Phillipson to allow for proper scrutiny, meaningful debate & a free vote for MPs when the new Code is laid in Parliament—and we’ll need your help. Pens & paper at the ready!📝

1. If you've scrolled social media lately, you've likely seem Democrats cheering for Gov. Gavin Newsom for trolling Trump relentlessly. You've also likely seen trans people terrified of a Newsom 2028 run. I explain why trans people are not feeling Newsom. Subscribe to support our journalism.

As a trans ally to these C16th nuns, the music in whose lives this project rapturously celebrates, I heartily encourage anyone who can afford it to support this project, either with a donation or an album preorder. The music is lush (& recorded by yours truly, so sounds fab 😘)!!

A plot isn’t “something happens and then something else happens” A plot is “what do you want” “What are you willing to do to get it” “What unspeakable, shameful part of your soul are you willing to walk up to in the darkness and name” “This is me, this is me, this is me” That is a plot

TW. Needs to be widely shared with cisgender people, especially politicians. Utterly horrifying that Britain has come to this- that most of Britain is just looking the other way while a whole community is being eliminated from society because of lies and hatred. transactual.org.uk/wp-content/u...

19 Aug 25 -- Confounding decades of trans-denial pseudoscience a new study of 900 cis & trans kids tracked from 2013-2024 found gender identity was a “stable trait“ & the trans kids were “no more or less likely” to show or express regret than cis ones. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

This is such a beautiful conversation with Loretta Ross. As a seasoned feminist and activist, she has really important lessons we all need to hear as we deal with a world of increasing division, hatred, inequality & state oppression. @laurieessig.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/f...

The mere fact that anyone would shoot birds or hunt any animals for fun tells you everything you need to know about that person: contemptible!

Like I’ve said many times before, this issue should really be resolved through the REUL (Revocation and Reform) Act’s restatement, and the GRA’s remedial, powers.

@theguardian.com pretend to bemoan the very predictable result of their decades long anti-LGBTQ campaign.

So enjoying this book. www.plutobooks.com/978074534940...

As the mother of a young trans person, Alice, who took her life in 2022 aged just 20, and as an ex-NHS doctor, I am struggling to find the words to express my dismay and sadness at this story. Whatever happened to do no harm? 🧵

We're proud to join over 200 organisations to call on Party Leaders to end the divisive politics, racist rhetoric and demonising language of the past. Only then will they bring unity instead of division and cohesion rather than hate. Read the letter below👇 @refugeestogether.bsky.social

Used the wrong link before. Here is a pile of evidence that the supreme court ignored when coming to its misjudgement. Evidence that, had it taken note of, would have meant it could not have arrived at its - flawed - conclusion. uncommon-scents.blogspot.com/2025/08/evid...

No one who ever worked on Blue Peter can ever forget the sound of her heels as she came down the steel steps to the studio floor from the control room during rehearsals. It certainly focused the mind. RIP.

The saddest thing for me is that finally allowing myself to be myself has filled me with more love and compassion than I have ever felt in my life, only to wake up every day to powerful people destroying everything and everyone I care about 😔

The wilful & discriminatory harm that the state is set to cause thro its incurious acquiescence to anti-gender narratives - all dressed up in pseudo concern for women’s safety - cannot be stated strongly or often enough. Trans women are not the threat; cis men are! @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social‬

Please remember that every word spoken at the EHRC is subject to disclosure and may be examined by the courts. Moreover, I am not aware of any novel point of law emerging that would demolish my argument regarding the in personam nature of contraventions and exceptions under the Equality Act 2010.

Just a reminder that this is still very much accurate and relevant. Even when the EHRC publish the Code of Practice, which does not change the actual law.

If you possibly can, please support this amazing documentary about Sophie & her partner Sandy, filmed over 7 years from Sophie passing the UK ballet exams to April's Supreme Court ruling. We absolutely need this film out there. Watch the trailer and donate here: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/a-dance-of...
