Who's Funding the War on Trans Inclusion? “The stated goal of strategic litigation is rarely to win every case. It’s to make the target behaviour—in this case, implementing trans-inclusive policies—expensive, risky, and exhausting”

Genuinely believe with my whole heart that the stances on trans rights taken by @zackpolanski.bsky.social are contributing massively to a load of emotionally burn-out and mentally exhausted trans people having hope for the first time in bloody ages.

Nadia Whittome continuing to be an amazing ally.

So a transphobe is threatening @northwestbylines.co.uk with defamation over this 100% accurate and factual piece of Journalism. Support us by sharing it far and wide 🏳️‍⚧️ northwestbylines.co.uk/news/equalit...

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.

I remained super calm and collected despite the abuse being hurled at my partner and I 😎

1/ I’ve been having a wobbly couple of days. The general background pressures of being trans in the UK, work, my very old car being in for an MOT earlier this week and my freeholder trying to stop me having my hot water tank replaced all took their a toll. I started acting irrationally on Thursday.

Repost for accuracy and succinctness.

I’m seeing a lot of Labour supporters on here badgering trans folk to vote for their party again because Reform might be even worse than they are. Give it a rest - Labour represent nothing but cruelty, segregation and oppression to me. I will never vote for a party that means me harm.

hey - I just took action to write to my MP to scrap the bathroom ban. It's really important that this Government rejects any plans to segregate and exclude trans people just for wanting to go to the loo. You can use TransActual's tool here: actionnetwork.org/letters/bloc...

Equality and Human Rights Commission FAIL Its not just trans, its EHRC Incompetence... disabled people have been failed also. Close the EHRC now. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/ehrc-struggl...

Almost 60,000 women have signed this petition by @nionwomen.bsky.social women to say that the transphobes do not speak for them. Meanwhile the Daily Express front-pages seven transphobes, falsely claiming that they “represent women”. If they do not represent you. Please sign. notinourname.org.uk

women do not have a right to put me in danger. women do not have a right to dictate my healthcare. women do not have a right to get me raped. women do not have a right to segregate me from the general population. transphobia is not women’s rights. transphobia is not feminism.

Oh look..... Lady Hale - Supreme Court - 1st November 2017 Oh how times have changed... #transrights #transrightsarehumanrights

Can anyone help Philippa?

Oh dear, my immersion heater has failed and because of the age of the tank I’ll need a new one. I’m without hot water until it’s sorted as there’s no gas in my flat. I’m really not looking forwards to having a plumber in under the circumstances……..

Jolyon suggests that if the EHRC loses it should apologise to trans people. I won’t be accepting an apology from a transphobic organisation that’s been forced into saying sorry. If they lose 🤞, then they need to be disbanded and replaced with a proper NHRI that can rebuild trust with our community.

My MP has already demanded a vote in parliament on this. Will your MP do the same?

I’m going to try to take a few days break from here unless Phillipson lays the EHRC guidance before parliament in the next day or two.

As a transgender woman trying to just live a simple quiet life in the UK, I'm pretty well placed to say this paragraph is complete bullshit and this government are shameless liars as well as hateful bigots who are actively shutting me out of participation in society.

Like many of us, I only know Sophie through her posts here and her journalism, but this is such a brave article to have written and strikes a chord in so many ways. 🩷

Inspired by @entirelyharmless.bsky.social this morning, a photo of a brown pelican at sunset taken in Florida when it used to be safe for me to visit.

This is how you do it

Thank you @zackpolanski.bsky.social, watching you unflinchingly defend my community against one of the most trans-hostile men in broadcasting makes me proud to be a Green Party member 💚

I think this is likely to be one of the first big tests of how far down the bigotry rabbit hole this country has gone. Everything we can do to fight back helps - please sign! goodlawproject.org/petition/kee...

This was the first test that had many trans people worried the Greens would fold. That they didn't is an excellent sign and a rare show of actual support for trans people from a political party that isn't just empty words. More of this @zackpolanski.bsky.social ❤️

That’s how it’s done - fantastic news 💚

The Gender Critical have already inundated this survey with their disgusting views on banning trans people from using the ponds. Would be a shame if we inundated with trans positive views on not banning trans people. hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.is/en-GB/propos...

Wes Streeting using his Labour conference speech to attack Reform for being anti-science. "Anti science, anti reason, anti-health" says the man who backs quack science when it comes to trans people.

You don’t have to know about someone’s past, or even approve of their life choices, to have compassion for them and want them to have a happy and safe life. There is something very wrong with GCs that they don’t want that for trans people.

there’s absolutely nothing you ppl could do to ever win me back over. i spent my adult life being loyal to the labour party and what i got in return was conversion therapy from wes streeting and segregation from @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social. labour are done.

Sian is right The proposed EHRC guidance is not fit for purpose, nor is it fit to be put before MPs to be 'debated' or voted on Like Sian, more MPs MUST stand in complete opposition to the Labour Government's extreme anti-trans agenda #StopTheTransBan

Petition: Ban all forms of conversion therapy petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

When I was at a busy services earlier today a very nice looking man brought his little girl into the ladies. Nobody died - actually, nobody even batted an eyelid. And that was a cis man, not a trans woman. Who are the mythical women who are supposed to be scared of us?

It must sting a bit when you announce a flagship policy to introduce a BritCard and in less than 24 hours the petition against it rises from 122,000 to over a million! I’ve had bad days at work, but not like that!

It's not an opinion she has though. It's hate! “I just don’t think these things are either or. It’s my deepest wish that people who don’t agree with my opinion will love me, and I hope I can keep loving people who I don’t necessarily share the same opinion with.” www.lbc.co.uk/article/emma...

Oh no, it looks like my dinner might have been raptured! Or maybe the coop just hasn’t had a delivery this afternoon?

This is a really important thread for any cis people reading this

'I play for Manchester City and I've had abuse for supporting trans rights - but it only encourages me' Kerstin Casparij says the messages she received from online trolls were just a tiny snapshot of what she imagines trans people have to face on a regular basis.

I know these things don’t make much difference, but I just signed this - it’s going up quite quickly at the moment.

NotYourParty implodes, this is the direct result. Cant say they werent warned, but Grandad was happier in cahoots with bigots and talking about spuds than seriously building something.

Obviously “we” excludes; - trans people, - immigrants, - refugees & - anyone opposing genocide in Gaza, but it includes; - abusive transphobes, - racists, - zionists, - obscenely rich media owners, - climate-destroying corporations & - American rapists.
