The driver for changing away from this blanket policy was the deaths of 4 trans women in prisons around 2015/16. Now the courts seem to be saying trans people dying doesn't matter, ideology is more important, and more cruelty ensures.

"Tell Jabba I'll get him his money..."

I have a GRC and have had GRS. I have lived as me for 10 years. Yet if I accidentally commit an offence to end up in prison I'll be thrown to the men to be r&&ed every night. The UK is unsafe for transes.

“Mary-Ann Stephenson says official guidance will not usher in ‘toilet police’ in businesses and public places”

Some of us build up stockpiles for a reason. This is the reason.

And what’s to stop the NHS applying this retro ‘review’ to their new model of using local services for trans adults? A contrived ‘bad’ audit of one element, and everything is in jeopardy. Trans people of all ages, should now treat the NHS as untrustworthy and potentially dangerous to our care.

-What biological sex are you -female -what does your passport say -female -yeah but what does it say on your birth certificate -female -ok but what was recorded on it at the time -idk i was kinda busy

Medical treatment, an allegory... Doctor: "the test results are back, I'm afraid your child has cancer" Parent: "OMG. Is it treatable." Doctor: "yes... But we don't do that." Parent: "what do you mean? Is the treatment awful, or ineffective?" Doctor: "... No..."

If the Equality Act always was a toilet ban then there would have been evidence in Hansard, the media and from human rights bodies such as Liberty. The fact that there is no evidence of this whatsoever means that Stephenson is a liar.

I am. Puberty Blockers WERE the compromise. if they aren't going to even honor that then fuck them.

It's quite bold for the chair of the Equality and Human Rights Committee to rely on stereotypes and "we can always tell". Didn't expect to see someone essentially rely on the Toupee Fallacy, but there you go.

Mary-Ann Stephenson there just saying that she expects trans people to self exclude from the spaces we've been using for years 😂 No chance

If anyone is following this and thinks that EHRC chair Mary-Anne Stephenson hasn't met trans people - she has. A bunch of us, myself included. She knows perfectly well that you cannot tell whether or not someone is trans based on their voice. She is just a bigot who cares not a jot for our safety.

EHRC: We are changing the law to ban trans people Anyone with a brain: How is that going to work? EHRC: It's worked fine for decades YES YOU STUPID FUCK, IT'S WORKED FINE WITHOUT BANNING TRANS PEOPLE FOR DECADES

15/ Alex Sobel MP asks about trans people’s Article 8 rights in various context. Stephenson says women have Articles 8 and 3 rights. John Kirkpatrick adds they do not consider there is Article 8 rights issue or they would have pointed it out in the Code.

EHRC Chair just going full mask-off here. Stating there's no case-law that article 8 right to privacy allows for self ID; and that there are strong human rights arguments for women to have single-sex spaces.

The word for arranging a lesbian polycule in a bed was right there all along: Titris

Genuinely hope any of the teams who paid 500k to have their trailers play with de-synced audio are refunded or compensated in some way. Obviously I know SGF doesn't want this and is likely doing everything they can to fix it, but this moment is SO important to these teams, it's such a huge bummer.

Well this was an entertaining way to have a ponder on this topic: maxleiter.com/blog/weights

"Women's health clinics offering breast screenings would be unable to provide this service to trans women. This is despite the fact that trans women who have had more than five years of Gender-Affirming Hormons Therapy (GHAT) are forty-seven times more likely to develop breast cancer than men"

I think Mumsnet should be blocked in the UK for radicalising and grooming parents into being transphobes.

This is just absolutely insane. No wonder some GPs claim they're not knowledgeable enough to manage HRT for trans people; by the sound of it - they're not knowledgeable enough to find their arse without a map.

There’s something about seeing this in black and white that just hits harder.

important to remember, since the press will rarely remind you, that the UK supreme court is not supreme in the way the US one is. Parliament is sovereign and can overturn or legislate counter to court decisions, they just choose not to

I'm going to guess that my MP (Olivia Bailey) isn't able to sign the EDM for rejecting the guidance as she's an Undersecretary for Equalities. I spoke to her a few weeks before she was appointed and she seemed to genuinely care about my concerns but honestly now I'm feel very unrepresented.

That's very...catholic. "It's ok as long as I ask my local trans for forgivness"

Choosing to buy it, is indirectly financing (and tacitly supporting) the woman who made the world. You don't get to punch me in the face, then pay to fix the broken nose. They don't cancel each other out.

Okay, putting it out there now. If you message me asking me to absolve your guilt for playing the sequel wizard game, this time around the fee will be £1,500 directly to me. If I'm going to be asked to absolve your guilt, I'm setting the rates high enough to make that an expensive absolvement.

I literally had a friend ask me last time if it was OK to play it. I told him that I wasn’t going to be the one who gives him permission and he’d have to make a decision. Choosing to buy and play it is making a statement and I will not help him with his guilt.

an hour after this was posted, a labour minister told parliament that customers should "alert member of staff" if a trans person walks into the "wrong toilet"

this is an incredible thread. somebody accidentally had their watch Bluetooth name set as ‘bomb’ and another passenger looking for info logged into a long forgotten Reddit account with the username “TheSkyJacker”

Still thinking about this post and defining my red lines: 1. It becoming a criminal offence to use the correct toilets. 2. Removal/reissuing of ID with the wrong gender. 3. GLP losing their case on trans discrimination in the NHS 4. Removal of gender reassignment as a protected characteristic.

Make sure you know your red lines, and stick to them. Write them down somewhere. Make sure you have options. A radar key is freely available. Get a passport if needed too - some free availability for those in desperate need! We can get through this together!

And yet barely a mention of how much it messes up some online services when they can’t validate against HMRC’s systems.

Schrödingers neurodiversity: Young people don't really have autism/ADHD, even when they have been diagnosed as such by medical professionals. Unless they are trans. In which case they definitely do, even if they have no diagnosis at all.

I need to draw a line. A bathroom ban was it, but then I'm still here. What next? Removal of documentation? My GRC is now invalidated in all but name. Or do I wait for my passport to be marked 'male'?

imagine going back to 2014 and telling your former self that JK Rowling, in conjunction with the cybernats, under the supervision of the daily mail would turn the equality act into the most draconian anti-trans law in Europe. like actually imagine how insane you would sound

The Millennial Trolley Problem

Having the spent the last 5 days helping prep Scarlet after a winter in Bilbao, I’m spending this bank holiday weekend sailing along the Northern coast of Spain!

‼️ PARLIAMENT SQUARE, 11AM TOMORROW ‼️ ‼️ SATURDAY 22 MAY ‼️ ‼️ TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW. DEMO FOR TRANS LIBERATION. ‼️ BE THERE.

It makes this letter from Sex Matters demanding that sex be included in digital IDs make a lot more sense though…..

I think some people don’t realise this. There is no ‘back’ to go to. You can’t change me from being who I am. Forcibly detransitioning me would just make me a short haired woman with a double mastectomy. (And bones with the density of your average TERF’s brain.)

because what's happening IS insane we just need cis people to pay attention i sometimes wonder if part of it stems from the fundamental misunderstanding that forcing us to detransition is a fate worse than death like most cis people think "oh they'll just turn back then, that sucks" i guess"

"Birthrates of Arthedain in decline. So called 'holbytlar' refugees bring bad dietary habits and drugs. Meanwhile, the Realm of Angmar is thriving thanks to the wise policies of its leader. Is it time to end the Witch Hunt?"

1/🧵 Keir Starmer, the vile transphobic bigot, is now reduced to a caretaker role. We don’t know whether his far-right movement will fall with him. But to demonstrate that a new government isn’t bigoted, the following must happen: - Bring section 14 of the Equality Act 2010 into force urgently.

Goodbye Shut Up Wesley. You are probably responsible for more deaths of trans people than any other UK health secretary since the HIV crisis. What a legacy.
