It’s live! Our #AnnualReview2026 is out now. This year’s findings are stark. What started as attacks on LGBTI communities has evolved into something much broader. The full picture is now public. Read, share, and use it 👉 ilga-europe.org/report/annual-review-2026/

Several European countries are considering social media bans for children. We must regulate platforms, not children. I urge caution: ✅ Focus on "safety by design" ✅ Demand algorithmic transparency ✅ Enforce the #DSA & #HumanRights standards Read my Shout Out👇 www.coe.int/en/web/commi...

The European commissioner for human rights urges countries planning to exercise authoritarian restrictions on children's access to online connection to instead focus on creating safer online platforms that protect children's rights.

Cis people who are vaguely supportive but not knowledgeable are also just not good at answering complex questions. It's really bad to have them being the only ones speaking for us

The size of the scandal of what's being done to trans people in the UK is too big to even appreciate in one sitting and so many people just aren't even aware.

The EHRC are forcing exclusionary policies on organisations. By publishing this today, they clearly do not plan on applying the findings in the case of GLP v EHRC. www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre...

The ratchet clicks tighter. EHRC have concluded their regulatory action which was started by the hard right Tory party as basically a witch hunt on trans inclusive policies in any public sector or charity body with a tip line to report bodies promoting trans inclusive use of single sex spaces.

No amount of "debate" can win when the deck is stacked like that by the wealthy and powerful. And that's just one billionaire. JK Rowling has spent millions to fund lawfare and anti-trans orgs in the UK. Joseph Edelman has spent millions bankrolling Do No Harm to push anti-trans policies.

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context

there is an employment crisis among trans women and there always has been, but good luck getting people to see it

Quand on fera le constat de la hausse des taux de suicide des jeunes personnes trans, quand on fera la somme de ces suicides, en comptant chaque pays ayant basculé sur des politiques anti-trans.. Que se passera-il? Qui rendra des comptes? Le moment venu, il faudra balancer les noms de ces criminels?

These figures show trans suicides amongst minors went from 5 and 4 per annum to (at least) 22. The only explanation for the media not reporting that four or five fold surge is because it doesn't want to. And it doesn't want to because its trans panic was a cause of that surge.

I founded Trans Safety Network on the basis that one of the key things we needed to do under the anti trans backlash was document and highlight the organisation of harm occurring to trans people. Understanding that such harm is the product of organised powers whether intentionally or unintentionally

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Very encouraged by the report and draft Resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe for a ban on conversion practices, which aligns with #HumanRights standards. @kateosbornemp.bsky.social

This Thursday, Europe could move a big step towards ending conversion practices. Our report shows trans, intersex and marginalised LGBTI people face the highest risk of abuse, with 60 to 70 percent forced to take meds. Action is urgent.

Putting together a submission to a consultation. If anyone has examples of skew or double standards by the UK press when reporting on trans people, please drop us a line here, with examples cited/linked.

"Cross-party consensus" is code for "let's gang up and kill as many trans kids as possible"

Absolutely wild what this is in response to. A Labour MP arguing that actual trans people can't know more about transphobia than some random cis woman. Fuck the Labour party, now and forever.

Today is Intersex Solidarity Day and we want to thank you for taking part in the #EuropeGoesPurple campaign! Let's keep up the momentum & continue to share this campaign in solidarity and towards #EqualRights for #intersex persons everywhere. www.europegoespurple.org #IAW2025 #WeGoPurple

The options for trans healthcare are: - Wait 3 lifetimes - Pay tens of thousands of pounds - Find and pay for increasingly hard-to-access DIY - Never get it at all Do they expect gratitude? Or just for us to suffer in silence? We will respond in turn, with nothing but rage. xoxo BASH BACK

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.

Email sent to my MP

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...
