@zackpolanski.bsky.social you have grown in popularity not in spite of your support of trans rights but because of it. This is a really important story that needs a politician to take a principled stance and speak out against the tragedy occurring.

In order to document what is happening to my child and other trans children, I have started to write about it on Substack. I'm going to keep a record of everything that happened in the past and everything that happens moving forward. unsilentmum.substack.com/p/what-is-ha...

@sasha98.bsky.social provides analysis of just how precarious and inconsistent access to trans healthcare on the NHS has become. They highlight how official guidance has favoured giving hostile and nervous clinicians excuses, rather than empower or expect them to provide good care standards.

I appreciate the piece from @owenjones.bsky.social but it once again repeats that trans men will be forced into the women's when that isn't what the guidance says. The guidance says trans men aren't allowed to use the women's, either.

Take any one of the medications that you currently take. Let's say hayfever pills. Or an inhaler. Or birth control. How would the effectiveness of those medications be evaluated by the below well-being outcomes:

Hopefully the EHRC guidance never sees the light of day. For those who are worried about accessing healthcare in a world that is happy to segregate trans people, I've written some thoughts on how to manage the situation if it occurs. medium.com/@erubecula52...

A High Court judge has forced a six-year-old girl to keep the surname of the man who raped her mother. We think this is an outrage and are putting together a legal team so D's mother can take her case to the European Court of Human Rights. But we need your help. goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

Glad Corbyn went out of his way to support an open transphobe and embed him in the party more than any other MP, very smart choice. novaramedia.com/2025/11/14/w...

To be really clear, Sussex ICB threatened, in writing, to close a Brighton GP practice serving 25,000 patients, purely to bully them into passing over child records. The GP did not want to pass on these records, because they understood the acute risk (& reality) of harm to trans adolescents.

They have not spoken to us directly since the investigation was announced. They made the decision to take away what for my daughter was life saving care without ever hearing from us or taking into account the harm of that decision. It’s been devastating. Thank you for talking about it.

Would make a sizeable bet that this is the first time in its history that bbc online has used the term "drag pantomime'

Starmer has taken active steps to hurt trans people. He could have done nothing and it would not have hurt labour's standing at all. Labour's anti-trans actions are done because Starmer wants to. He wouldn't buy Whittome here if he thought there was any chance she can have a meaningful impact.

NHS England has written to all ICBs and Trusts to tell them to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism and notifying them that NHS England will develop new uniform and workwear guidance. In the letter it mentions that it will draw on policies developed by Univercity College London Hospital (UCLH).

(Content warning: suicide) 1/🧵 It makes me feel sad to have to send this email just because some people still believe suicide is a sin and that being trans is an abomination. They work to suppress information. Neither of those things is true. Suicide is preventable. And help is available.

EHRC are annoyed about Bridget Phillipson taking so long to enact the code: www.equalityhumanrights.com/our-work/adv...

Arguments about reform vs revolution feel a bit Titanic feng shui in this particular political moment tbh. I'm neither a reformist nor a revolutionary. I'm a "make sure as many of us survive as possible"-ist (-ary?).

🚨 Voting is now open for conference committees. These could not be more important. Voting closes tomorrow so vote before you forget! For Standing Orders Committee, I’m voting: Scott Robinson Cade Hatton Ash Routh Phil Vabulas Melissa Harker

🚨 UPDATE 🚨 The news is in, and it’s good 🚫 GWD, the anti-trans lobby group led by four disgraced expelled members, has been denied a platform at Autumn Conference They tried to strong-arm the party with legal threats in order to spread their transphobic agenda But the party stood firm 1.

So glad the transphobes have a party now, they've been politically homeless for so long. Maybe they'll fuck off out the greens for good now.

Reform don't even want national ID cards. It's not a policy they've said their interested in and considering the number of Reform members who are convinced Starmer will lock them up for tweets it's unlikely they're going to be a fan. Interesting that Labour only chase certain reform policies.

I've left unison, looking for a good union to replace it. The biggest threat to my job currently is transphobes saying I need to treat trans people as the opposite gender. Ridiculous for a trade union to support a candidate who will cause so much harm to workers.

Considering Unison was already in bad graces as they sent what was essentially an ad for Microsoft copilot to members, endorsing Phillipson might be the last straw. Can anyone recommend a union for enabling NHS staff that supports the LGBTQ community?

Like most aspects of moral panics about diagnoses increasing I really do think the growth in autism diagnosis - aside from the spread of knowledge - is the result of a wider culture being more strict and hostile towards variation from certain "abled" norms.

I understand being disconcerted about Your Party, it's impressive the level of fuck ups they've had but make sure you're not giving them more power than they actually have. Parties don't power political movements, political movements power parties.

Now that we've all very quickly decided that it is beyond moral comprehension to laugh at the deaths of others, shall we revisit Sandie Peggie's comments laughing at those who died in floods in Pakistan? www.heraldscotland.com/news/2535059...

NHS is evaluating the effectiveness of trans healthcare for teenagers based on responses to 17 Dutch questions on work: 1. At my work, I feel bursting with energy 2. I find the work that I do full of meaning and purpose 3. Time flies when I'm working 4. At my job, I feel strong and vigorous

Ugh, can't even get into Silksong. I'm not very good at it so it's a game of fun frustration, which gets less fun if I'm already frustrated about real life stuff.

If reports of the EHRC guidance are correct, it is not compatible with trans people's human rights. It would usher in a system of segregation, policed via threats of legal action by those with money to burn. Trans people, as well as people who are not trans, face harassment.

How in the name of God do you start a new left-wing party and have the two of the first communications from major figures on policy other than Gaza be 'yay bathroom bans' and 'we must protect landlords'

One of those days.

In 2016 UK issues travel warning to the US for LGBTQ+ travelers due to bathroom bans being introduced. Of course, we all know that the UK has had a bathroom ban in place since 2010, so quite strange that they felt the need to issue the warning... www.snopes.com/fact-check/u...
