Brianna died because two IRL classmates at her IRL school that she attended IRL decided, IRL, to murder her for fun. They lured her, IRL, to a park where they IRL stabbed her to death for the pleasure of seeing, in person, how she screamed. Her mother making it about phones and online is disgusting.

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents. I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights. sianberry.org.uk/publications/l…

I spent half of my life living under mandatory ID laws in several countries, and I can tell you from experience, you won’t like it. These laws are designed to give police arbitrary power to stop, question and search anyone they choose.

We’ve published the DfE FOI and Annex A. It confirms the Secretary of State (Bridget Phillipson) met Sex Matters on 5 March 2025, before the FWS Supreme Court judgment. The meeting was to discuss "steps to prevent violence against women and girls". 1/ drive.google.com/file/d/1Cdvb...

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

I am going to go out on a limb right now as a trans woman and say the phrase ‘trans rights are human rights’ is meaningless. It’s a get out of jail free card for people who intend to do nothing to protect us. I want concrete statements not meaningless platitudes.

I'm going to rephrase this for the hard of thinking: We will not prosecute our way out of transphobia. The police will not take transphobes away to a cold cell where they can not bother us.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

111/NHS direct is a joke. Having to misgender yourself to the people there for no reason is outright humiliating. It's designed to put trans people off reaching out for healthcare support. There were years of surveys that worked on finding respectful ways to gather this information, disregarded.

The EHRC don't want your views; TransActual are challenging Government Ministers to do better! We had no faith that the EHRC would conduct this consultation professionally, fairly or transparently. We asked individuals and organisations to send us copies of their consultation responses.

#Transrights #UK #EHRC #BridgetPhillipson #Politics It turns out that the government seemingly are already aligned with the vision of the EHRC even long before the public consultation on the outcome of the FWS verdict was launched. if they aren't aligned than this looks like a pretty weird agenda

Attention UK Based people, I need YOU to help me challenge NHS Blood & Transplants policies towards Trans & Non-Binary people. docs.google.com/document/d/1... 1/7

So basically in the UK, any time someone regrets having sex with a trans woman, they can go cry to the police that she "lied" about being a woman and the police and jury will believe them every time. Then the woman will be sentenced to be raped by men in men's prison.

This is a vastly upsetting case, that uses CPS guidelines that effectively mean if Trans+ people don't come out before sexual contact, they can now be found guilty of sexual assault - which is what has happened here Let's take a look at the background 🧵 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Please get in touch with Netpol if you have been affected by police stop and search as a trans person following the interim guidance

A new report from TransActual shows that trans and cisgender people face job loss, violence, vigilantism and wholesale exclusion following the Supreme Court Ruling and EHRC guidance. Read the report at: tinyurl.com/trans-segreg... #Trans #Transgender #Nonbinary #EqualityAct #EHRC #TransRights

Wes Streeting held a meeting with: • Genspect • Bayswater Support Group • CAN-SG • Integrated Psychology Clinic • LGB Alliance • Transgender Trend "To discuss gender policy issues"

What the study shows is that white, well-off, gays and lesbians in mid-to-senior roles in workplaces that self-select for a hate group's mailing list do not like being included under the LGBT+ banner. Shocking! I don't have to run a survey to know everybody else doesn't like them, either!

🚨 Now is the time for organisations to stand together. The EHRC no longer functions as an NHRI. If only a few small organisations speak out, the government will ignore them. We need collective action. We urge others to formally withdraw recognition and raise it with Parliament.

This is not a “difference of opinion.” Their end goal is extermination. Sports bans are for normalizing that a group is less human. Bathroom band are about pushing us out of public life. Medication bans are about turning us into criminals for surviving. And they will not stop there.

BREAKING 🧨 I'm now in possession of evidence confirming a second trans youth suicide, where the patient's data was NOT sent to NHS England, for inclusion in Appleby's flawed DHSC report "Review of suicides and gender dysphoria at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust: independent report"

Media outlets can't pivot to AI to save themselves. It's not a business strategy and it's not going to work. The only path forward is for journalists to lean into their humanity, to do things AI can't, and to make clear they are writing for people, not algorithms: www.404media.co/the-medias-p...

The Brussels court has ruled in favor of a 51-year-old transgender woman in her dispute with the UCI, Le Soir reports. The transgender woman was previously banned from women's races but is now allowed to compete again. The judge ruled that the exclusion was unjustified.

Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police. Thank you, Wes Streeting.

"[The Commissioner..] deplores that discussions tend towards the exclusion of trans people from many aspects of society, rather than ensuring that their inclusion and dignity are upheld [...] legal or policy developments must be human rights-compliant, including in view of the case law of the ECHR"

Been in contact with the FA about their new trans participation policy and they sent me the requirements for trans men to play men’s football, which includes signing this. “I am a biological female whose gender identity is male” 🤢🤢🤢 No, I am a man.

🧵 So the latest update from NHS Blood and Transplant. The nurse on the clinical team has spoken to the 'sex assigned at birth' team, and has been told there is no clinical risk to trans women *because* they are using the male donation interval, and male reference ranges. 1/9
