Transphobes manipulate the truth to win public sympathy. They are the crybullies. Shouting slurs at a trans person and when the trans person tells them to f*ck off they go crying to the media snd politicians that trans people are aggressive and threatening. Then they rinse and repeat.

APOLOGY. One year on from For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers, I am truly sorry for the impact this has had on trans lives. This is my personal view. I am not speaking on behalf of the legal profession or any other lawyers. #transrights #uklaw #equalityact #lawtok #humanrights

I suspect this photo is going to be one of the most shared over the next few years if Labour is stupid enough to select Streeting to replace Starmer.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Apr WSJ Predictably, WSJ op-ed page ignores the contradictions, goes all in the tank for the Finnish study. Sigh...read the room, guys. (Or better yet, read the study).

Made it out! Kira is happy -- lots of interesting crumbs on the floor.

Despite our best efforts, multiple crises in the arts and charitable sector, and the ongoing patriarchal stance on inclusiveness mean that the Vagina Museum continues to struggle. We are having to have serious conversations about our long-term future. And now, more than ever, we need your help...

Today is TRANS APPRECIATION FRIDAY, and I’d really like to see your friendly faces today! How it works: tell us your name, pronouns & a bit about you. Feel free to post a pic, if comfy. Then, repost THIS post, say hi to those that join in & make new friends! I’m Alyssa(she/her). Hi! Now you!

We all know that the threat to women is not coming from the trans community – by me for The Independent www.independent.co.uk/voices/women...

No10’s account is incredible. I held Developed Vetting for nearly ten years and spent three years at the heart of the Cabinet Office. I have never heard of a Developed Vetting denial being overruled. Here’s why…🧵 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

As a reminder, while there’s no Strasbourg case law on toilets, there are two on hospital wards and similar settings: the case of Goodwin, and the case of “I”. This is legally unachievable.

Force the government to rip up the EHRC’s transphobic guidance. We have less than a month. Join us goodlaw.social/de78a7

The British press managed to bully another trans woman out of her job. This is a regular occurrence now.

A ruling that was supposed to provide legal clarity has left service providers more confused than ever, and Trans+ people vulnerable. What now? www.wearequeeraf.com/the-supreme-...

#Starmers #Labour rapidly becoming party of #MassDistress First they came for #Trans people and now they're forcing certain #Students to repay their full #studentloans back immediately because student loan companies & their universities made administrative errors & promises they couldn't deliver.

It's a year today since the Supreme Court decision on the meaning of "sex" under the Equality Act 2010. Jolyon Maugham and I have written a reflective piece with our thoughts on the judgment, everything that has happened since, and why it's so important that we are still fighting - together 👇

For the second day, the person engaging in the unlawful practice is not a lawyer or an immigration advisor. Yet this nuance is totally absent from the framing. For the second day, the specific example on which the article is based makes un-evidencrd links to rising claims. It's deplorable.

'Voice Shift', the documentary I took part in last year has won Best Documentary Short (Jury) at the Cleveland International Film Festival -- it's now eligible for Oscar consideration! (Picking out my outfit rn 🤣) Congratulations to director, Roberto Duque, his amazing team, and all who took part!

Today, the UK Minister for Equalities and the EHRC have both released updates on the EHRC’s Code of Practice for services. The EHRC was updating the Code following last year’s UK Supreme Court ruling on the meaning of “sex” in the Equality Act 2010. www.scottishtrans.org/the-ehrc-sub...

I cop a lot of flack because this is an informal platform and my typing is terrible. I am actually a solicitor. These details matter. It looks more likely than not that the EHRC have already broken the law with the new Code of Practice:

Wondering there's any chance somebody will leak the guidance?

Our new FOI reveals that EHRC Chair moved quickly to arrange a meeting with 'For Women Scotland' to discuss prisons, hospitals, and redefining “sex” in law. Meeting minutes were heavily redacted. tacc.org.uk/2026/04/14/e...

🆕🚨 - Just days ahead of the anniversary of the For Women Scotland Supreme Court decision that upended UK Trans+ rights, the EHRC has announced it has submitted a new draft code of practice following comments from the Government. What do we know, and has it scrapped bathroom bans? 🧵

Only 5% think Brexit has worked. Two-thirds of Gen Z want a rejoin referendum. The Brexit settlement is dying in real time - and the only party honest enough to say so is the Liberal Democrats. Closer to Europe. Stronger at home. It really isn’t complicated.

Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Service has withdrawn its plans to close Eynsham, Woodstock and Henley fire stations. It will instead focus on recruiting more on-call firefighters for the three locations, which have been dogged by low numbers of recruits. news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/councillors-...

So once again a man started a wildly successful harassment campaign against a female celebrity who didn’t actually do anything and the internet swallowed it full throated, and the whole thing is revealed to be concocted horseshit he can’t muster anything more than “sorry that happened I guess”

Apart from the (usually vile) transphobic comments, which I've deleted, I've also been told: 1. I'll never be a trans man (agreed!) 2. trans people's opinions are ignored in the same way that we ignore people who say they're Napoleon

Happy Monday. This has now been read almost 2k times and got picked up by some random science news aggregator. 🤣 Calling all nerds to help me keep up the momentum.

I think the current EHRC position is that an association of only trans people that had cis visitors or guests would need to force trans people to use the wrong toilets. It's bonkers.

Voting for this is still open for a few more days! ❤️ It takes literally like 1 minute

If your digital platform willfully adds line breaks to text based on how it displayed on any one screen in the moment it was copied—*overriding* the line breaks that are actually part of the text by virtue of how it's been manually typed within the given style sheet—your product fucking sucks.

My legal case is the first to challenge the SCJ (FWS v SGM) - help stop the rollback of trans rights. £17,220 needs to be pledged, and there are 17 days left to do it - thanks to the 201 people who have helped so far. Please support & share widely. www.crowdjustice.com/case/justice...

Why do I always get these words of James Baldwin coming into my head whenever Streeting says anything…? “I can’t believe what you say because I see what you do.”

I will begrudgingly admit that "One Direction" is a better boy band name than "Necessity" or "Sufficiency".

Went to the pub for a very late lunch and when I got home recorded this TikTok. Apparently this is what I do after a pint of hazy IPA. vm.tiktok.com/ZNR4tbupo/

this is a vibes-based analysis but IMO Britain is a “wait for permission”-ass country spiritually and transition is such an “I don’t need your permission”-ass activity that some of my countryfolk are just like oh gosh oh dear oh crumbs whatever will the neighbours think

Yet again, we see how YouTube enables theft and fraud to a massively audacious degree. YouTube is focused only on distancing itself from the predation riddling their platform but they *are* responsible for it. They allow it, they make it easy to do, they ensure it can be done with no repercussions.

The Darts Regulation Authority, very neutrally and reasonably, asked someone from Sex Matters whether they should ban trans women from women's darts. I'll give you three guesses what the answer was.

Thank you to everyone for the first two nights of the PIPER AT THE GATES OF DUSK tour! Sold out events in London and Manchester. Still tix left for tonight in Bath, I think, link below. And next week Norwich, Birmingham and Oxford! www.waterstones.com/events/in-co...

This is draconian. Excessive and completely unnecessary. 1. Most stations in populated parts of Scotland have ticket gates. 2. This woll likely increase, not reduce anti-social behaviour as most young folk will not have an extra £10. It's 2026 poverty is sky-high, especially amongst young people.

With one more protest from York added, there are now TEN protests for trans rights this weekend! Details of all of them can be found here: whatthetrans.com/compilation-... We have also added 2 additional actions to the website overnight.
