A blanket ban on puberty blockers, with a medical trial the only way to access them for young people, still isn’t enough for those who are ideologically opposed to the very existence of trans people and want the trial stopped. Nothing ever will be.

Worst map ever. But the comments have brightened my day!

Presumably in response to X enabling non-consensual porn and paedophilia - The Women & Equalities Committee has just announced it has left the platform! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 All of the remaining Parliamentary Committees need to follow suit (go challenge them to do so!)

“Allowing conversion practices to persist is not neutrality; it is an active moral failure that legitimises harm and strips people of dignity,” says Saba Ali of Ban Conversion Practices Coalition @stonewalluk.bsky.social Here’s them delivering an open letter to No 10 demanding action👇 #IDECT

Just watched the Pluribus finale. Weird but excellent! Really well paced and involving drama on Apple TV!

I hope any Open University students studying today have a good day, make progress and try to forget it’s the Christmas break! I’m diving in to my Statistics book!

Abolish the House of Lords, RT if you want it gone. Tear it down.

Another reminder that, despite all the anti-trans persecution, I would still rather be me than one of my persecutors.

I cannot see the slightest justification for allowing anti-trans hate group ‘Sex matters’ to comment on this story. If you agree with me, a complaint to the BBC only takes a few moments. www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc....

The tragic reality about violence against women and girls: unless it's an issue which can be weaponised to bash trans people or migrants no one gives a fuck.

"One Whitehall source told The Telegraph there is a growing belief that if the Good Law Project wins its case, Ms Phillipson will tell the EHRC to reconsider its guidance." Well, yes, because it will be unlawful.

“This is the eighth Christmas that LGBTQ+ people will face since the UK Government committed to a conversion practices ban, with that promise not having been met. Prime Ministers have personally committed to these practices.” #BanConversionPractices

"It is concerning that NHS England, in its response, does not commit to an increase in resources to enable these recommendations": @jessothomson.co.uk, of the Levy Review.

Not exactly blocked. Just making sure it doesn’t exclude people or impinge on their human rights to exist in public spaces, workspaces or just exist in general. So yes. Maybe and hopefully she is blocking it!

Bailey’s appeal against the EAT decision has been dismissed at the Court of Appeal. Nice!

Yep. Awake at 3:45 here too!

The “we can always tell” ‘gender critical’ transphobes whipping up hate against trans women… ends up hurting cis women! We told you so! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Read: www.msn.com/en-gb/lifest...

You are going to kill even more trans people Wes, this is actually dangerous. HRT changes your biology, if you deny trans people appropriate screening and refuse to take account of the actual biological changes to their bodies, you will kill someone

Welcome to the UK where a right wing academic seeks to defend a man who wrote: 'Head for the hotels housing them and burn them to the ground.' By describing that incitement as "anti immigration"

The ban on puberty blockers is devastating for many young trans people. Currently the only way to access them is through a government trial - I am asking govt to ensure that the trial can be accessed by as many young people as need it.

The media blackout on the hunger strikers is disgusting. Nothing but puppets for the worst people in the UK. I've yet to meet a person in the real world who has heard anything about it.

This 👇🏼 All Tories do is lie.

Care workers are at Westminster today urging MPs to rethink visa rule changes. They warn the plans will deepen the crisis in care and risk an exodus of skilled staff. UNISON says workers deserve fair pay and the right to settle in the UK. Read ➡️ unsn.uk/4piijzj

Brilliant. We all have a right to disconnect!

The legal challenge to the NHS’s clinical trial of puberty blockers is funded by a pressure group backed by Russian oligarchs and linked to the far right. goodlaw.social/1jop

💯 this 👇🏻 Not complying with exclusionary rules will allegedly be against the law, but subject to no policing. Complying will definitely be against the law. The law is an ass. Do not impose exclusion and change the law to avoid removing human rights from trans, NB and GNC people.

And whenever they write about Bell they always describe her as the person who sued the Tavistock and it was then closed down, whilst neglecting to mention that she lost, but NHSEngland took away gender affirming care off the back of it anyway. Because they wanted to.

Thank you all for your support

Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson is going to have a very big surprise when she realises trans people won't cooperate with their own segregation by the EHRC's unenforceable rules.

This is absolutely disgusting. Stephenson still believes proselytising to remove human rights should be tolerated at work. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Exactly. We signed up to the declaration to live as women for the rest of our lives, and failure to fulfil that legally binding oath could result in criminal prosecution. I will be adhering to my legal commitments.

Bridget Phillipson knew her history, was told by MPs not to appoint her, insisted on appointing her, and in her first interview the Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission has ignored super clear and explicit human rights law that trans people are not a third sex. What a disgrace.

It's not illegal to use the right toilets and no one should adhere to Mary-Ann Stephenson's headmistressly call to "follow rules" that serve no good purpose, breach the UK's human rights obligations, will be bad for all women, and debase trans dignity. Make her appoint her sodding toilet police.

"One parent told me that she was hearing reports of Dr Hillary Cass (of the Cass Review) teaching staff at NHS Sussex on how to detransition trans children." A proper piece of Journalism looking into the horrors of NHS Sussex. Great Work @sophiemolly.co.uk northwestbylines.co.uk/opinion-corn...

Reform UK animal lovers, will you be joining your leader at the hunt?

A decade ago trans people warned this would happen. The “gender-critical” transphobes have opened the door to a much wider attack on women’s rights, including on safe and legal abortion, birth control… I even managed to get this published in @opendemocracy.net in 2022

#UK #Transrights #NHS Imagine the hypocrisy at play for the government to publish this policy paper after making every effort to ensure the opposite is applied to gender dysphoria patients. I really have no words for this. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Opposition Lords are STILL voting to water down key measures in the Employment Rights Bill - risking delaying rights like access to Sick Pay from Day 1. The Lords must get out of the way and let the Bill pass, so we can deliver the new rights working people need. www.labourunions.org.uk/stoptheblock

1/ You wouldn’t know it from the coverage, but two recent employment tribunal rulings have vindicated those of us who have said from the start that the Supreme Court judgment did not require the automatic exclusion of trans people from single-sex toilets and changing rooms. 🧵

4/ It was also ruled that aggressively challenging trans women using female facilities is harassment. Anti-trans campaigners' baseless claims that trans women pose a greater risk to women in changing areas or toilets than that posed by cis women were also rejected.

We were promised a draft bill on banning conversion practices by the end of 2025 and it's mid-December with no movement. This government *must* commit to a trans-inclusive ban, especially following a report by the BBC into practices fifty years ago.

TEN sends open letter to Women's Institute over its new Gender Critical Ideology. It mentions Peggie v Fife (eg the findings that Dr Upton was the one harassed, it was correct not to exclude her, that a trans woman poses no more threat to a cis woman than a cis woman does). Attached.

She won her case like you won the general election.
