Looking at this passport from the 1920s, it does not seem to state sex. It does state age, eye colour, height, mouth (?), weight, (word I can't read), hair colour, and complexion. www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/...

Can anyone tell me when sex markers appeared on UK documents? Have they always been on UK birth certificates?

got to post-Zohran blog @thecut.com — multiple election outcomes on Tuesday showed that refusing to fold on trans people, migrants, Muslims, and marginalized communities while pushing kitchen table issues is a winning strategy. the pundit class’s “Decision to Win”-style arguments can be put to bed

President Trump's anti-trans passport policy is about the government trying to police who we are and how we live. Having accurate identification is essential for trans people to live and travel without fear of harassment or discrimination.

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

Let’s be clear: @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social and Labour own this cruelty Trans+ children and teenagers are being harmed by a Health Secretary who could stop it all tomorrow But every day Streeting refuses to end his anti-Trans+ crusade, he makes a deliberate choice to let his cruelty continue

The last paragraph: Those…who disagree…are denigrated as “activists”, as if being an activist is something one should avoid being, when in fact, we are activists merely because we care about the lives of all people (and this includes trans people).” Thank you TACCT I’m sick of the name calling…

"...he was unaware that those under 16 were in fact “people” An alleged therapist 👀

First class and very clear response. Highly recommended reading. "#AffirmativeTherapy simply means that we do not think it is a worse outcome if a client decides, for themself, that they are, or are not cisgender.

Today is Intersex Day of Solidarity and Remembrance. It's an opportunity to highlight the continued struggles faced by intersex people globally, from unnecessary medical intervention or stigma. We all deserve to be treated with dignity, and live a life free from discrimination.

Denmark steals possessions of people seeking asylum, as policy. It returns people to situations where they are killed. Mahmood is copying some of the worst policies going. Labour once again showing it's just another anti-asylum, anti-human rights, government. #r4today www.bbc.com/news/article...

At a time when Labour are failing to deliver on one of its key promises the Guardian publishing this drivel as an “exclusive” tells you more about the Guardian’s client journalism and how desperate the Labour right has become than anything else.

Please read this statement by Anne Health. Trans children are being subjected by Sussex NHS to the physical torture of being forcibly detransitioned. This is unnecessary cruelty and in my view constitutes torture, violence and child abuse on the part of NHS Sussex.

Please read this letter to the Telegraph editor from @tactt.bsky.social about what looks like UKCP supporting conversion therapy (ie psychological torture) targeting children.

EU investing €546 billion for high speed rail by 2040 E.g. Lisbon to Warsaw, from 38 hours today to 12 hours Pricing to compete with low cost flights Reduce emissions by 80% Jokes on them, they don't have Brexit sovereignty 🤷‍♂️

Solidarity with @pcsunion.bsky.social workers at the British Library. 300 workers on strike. Some of them having to take second jobs or taking out loans just to be able to survive. A Pay "award" below inflation is a pay cut. Unacceptable. Solidarity - and keep organising! ✊🏼

Labour were broken a long time ago. Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires. A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them. Time to make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I keep seeing these videos by trans guys about how trans women are dominating trans advocacy because of socialisation and honestly it's a discredit to the numerous trans men who are involved daily in pragmatic community rooted activism every day without getting involved in promoting transmisogyny.

Oh look, the obviously foreseeable outcome of the Guardian’s transphobic campaigning…

Oh my god, the leadership at the EHRC is actually run by the biggest idiots on the planet

Thank you @feministgreens.bsky.social for supporting @nionwomen.bsky.social! Women — if you haven’t yet signed our NION open letter, go here: notinourname.org.uk Everyone — if you haven’t yet joined the Green Party, go here 😆 join.greenparty.org.uk

Just for the record, if we have had a pre-action protocol letter from the spitting adder no one's told me. Rest assured, if and when we get one, we'll publish it, and our reply.

The EHRC are an incompetent national embarassment, fully reflective of the out of touch, corrupt and amoral political and media classes, but representative of noone else in the country. It needs completely gutting and rebuilding from first principles.

1. In a devastating decision for trans kids in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, the 6th Circuit has ruled students can bully trans kids by repeatedly misgendering them. Trans kids also are not allowed to return the favor to their bullies. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Outstanding work by @erininthemorning.com getting Washington State University to suspend SEGM’s medical courses. Groups like this rely on legitimation that they would not otherwise be entitled to.

Is this the start of the Labour Party splitting…? I know quite a few people still in the party who despair and despise Starmer but are fearful of speaking out. You can’t run a party like this. Starmer and McSweeney need to face facts, their right-wing take-over has utterly failed.

The EHRC generally & its transphobic commissioners in particular are a national embarrassment. They don’t even understand the processes of their accreditating body. @tacc.org.uk are putting them right but how embarrassing for them, imagine being corrected by a group of people they consider inferior

This popped up on my TL just now, had forgot about it. These people...

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

JFC! This is appalling on its own, but the fact that Joyce has deemed it useful to deploy as propaganda demonstrates the “gender-criticals” deep lack of compassion, empathy or humanity. This is why I regard transphobia as a core element of fascism, starting with its esprit fasciste.

Joyce is utterly devoid of empathy, compassion or comprehension. It makes me weep that her GC (trans-hating) beliefs are protected and ‘worthy of respect in a democratic society’ when part of this belief is that trans people and those that love them are not worthy of respect at the undertakers.

Did Women Ruin the Workplace

He seems to be on board now?

MINI LECTURE SERIES 3/10 Here I consider the scope of the Supreme Court’s decision, effectively stating that in some (rare) circumstances, trans people may be excluded if justified, but are not automatically excluded. #humanrights #womensrights #transrights #nonbinarybarrister #law #lecture

I think it speaks volumes in these cases about who is being intimidated and bullied given that pictures of trans women are often blurry candids snapped by journos outside the court whereas the cis women are in posed group photographs.

Interesting that (a) he didn't feel able to give a categorical 'no' in response to the question & (b) he answered a completely different question to the one he was asked — from which we may draw the conclusion that he did not want to be pressed about _current_ RefUK MPs &/or members & Russian bribes

A finalist for this year’s National Book Award for Fiction in the U.S., Bryan Washington’s “Palaver,” a novel set in Tokyo and largely the queer Shinjuku Ni-chome area, explores the meaning of leaving and home.

Checked out the indivisible-ncsd.org website recently? We no longer have an embedded spotify playlist with resistance music, because fuck ICE. Fear not... We've got a brand new, bright pink and pretty button to bring you to the same songs, but in a YouTube Music playlist. To be clear: Fuck ICE.

🏊‍♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision. In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019. Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts. 1/5

In a sane world, football teams from a country arraigned before the International Court of Justice for genocide would not be playing in international competitions until the accused leaders had been surrendered into custody. But that's not how it works, is it?

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.
