We need to support trans people in the workplace to help prevent their exclusion from the every day conversations that affect them. I am happy to speak to anyone to share advice on applying to jobs, interviews, career development in any way I can.

It is a sign of how fundamentally abused and traumatised trans communities are in the UK that many folks are responding to Levy with relief and cautious welcome. It could have been a lot worse. But it fundamentally fails to deliver meaningful improvements to trans healthcare. 1/4

I wouldn't put too much stock in the Levy Review stating it wants to acheive good results. For istance, it says it is hoping to reduce waiting times, but will the recommendations actually do that? Removing the ability to self-refer won't do that.

In her evidence, Dr Upton said she was comfortable not using that changing room and having her own room. The tribunal considered this fact, concluding that it might be the least discriminatory option during part of the suspension and until alternative work hours arrangements are put in place.

The idea that “once any transphobe has complained, we lose our rights” is now portrayed by the media as the new law. In reality, no lawyer would take that as a correct takeaway of the ET judgment. Also another recent ET, Leonardo, goes even further, held that inclusion is not optional.

My main concern about the Fife case is that it's quite possible they are happy with losing a large amount of the case. Giving them the chance to appeal and set precedent may well be more beneficial than winning the case in the first instance.

Extensive legal advice said that For Women Scotland was wrong to seek exclusion of trans people. That didn't stop them until they achieved their goal. Any organisation shedding tears over excluding trans people better be able to show how they're fighting to turn back the tide of open bigotry.

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.
