Utter hypocrisy from Viner at the Guardian, positioning her rag as supporting "communities", A rag which has not only *censored* the words of a non-binary academic but which liberally spreads disinformation about trans people and enabled much of the discrimination attacking us.

LGBT survivors tell of 'barbaric' NHS shock therapy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@tgeuorg.bsky.social calls it. As an academic I have been consistently saying this all along. The “Pathways” “study” is totally unethical. And it won’t even address the main pretext used to justify it; the issue of long-term negative effects (of which there is no evidence whatsoever).

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies. This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week. This is almost everything the government is doing.

Copies will be available via the websites of various orgs.

An independent taskforce *just* did a huge review of ADHD in England, and the conclusion was that it's "under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-treated." www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/re...

Apparently this is the wrong answer, so Wes Streeting is launching another review by a team picked to deliver a more convenient answer 🙄 Whichever review gives the answer they want will be hailed as "gold standard science", the other will be ignored.

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

And if they brought it back tomorrow for trans people, the newspaper commentariat would line up to press the button.

I have called on the Equalities Minister to withdraw badly written guidance for single-sex spaces to protect everyone's rights and ensure trans people are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.

Terrifying. "More and more, influential voices in the Maga movement and the far-right Republican party are calling to strip women of the franchise." "The opposition to women’s suffrage has entered the mainstream as the Republican party has radicalized." https://bit.ly/4oDPcWK

These are the same far-right Republicans that are funding British “gender-critical feminists” to “protect women” from trans people.

There has always been a massive overlap between trans people and autistic/neurodivergent people with the latter constantly used to scrutinise and infantalise the former for their identities It's deeply *DEEPLY* naïve you wouldn't realised they'd go after ND people next

Statement by the Canadian Girl Guides Association.

I wonder how many cigars JK Rowling smokes as she mumbles “I love it when a plan comes together” as she giggles, picturing all the children she has made feel sad and more alone today

Police report in respect of the social media activity of Gender Critical commentator Richard Dunstan: a statement from me. goodlaw.social/y7q6

Jacob Frey: "The system that we have in America is that you get held accountable for the crimes that you commit as an individual ... you don't get held accountable as a community member because somebody else did something really awful or stupid."

Freedom of association is one of the fundamental tenets of our democracy and gender critical transphobes are actively undermining that.

I can guarantee that your life will not be made one iota happier, richer or safer by being beastly to trans people.

I was one of my local Scouts first intake of girls. It was the 90’s. I can’t believe (well, actually I can) how far backwards anti-trans obsessives want to take us.

Streeting to next launch inquiry into “over-diagnosis” of left-handedness. “Never used to be like this,” he insists.

A tiny number of trans girls have been kicked out of the Girl Guides and a small number of trans women have been banned from joining the Women’s Institute and the lives of c!s women have not been improved or advanced one iota by any of these decisions.

Ashley James, celebrity star of Good Morning has resigned from Girl Guides in response to their exclusion of trans girls.

Yknow they very much tried to get me fired from being technician on the throwdown on telly i know they wrote to channel 4 and such and every year were outraged i was still allowed on screen for the crime of being trans

Good news for trans workers After the Girl guiding and WI announcements, some comfort for trans workers. A Scottish tribunal has ruled that a trans-inclusive workplace policy is NOT discriminatory against a woman with gender critical views in the workplace. www.bbc.com/news/article...

So orgs have no agency over their admissions, and are are being forced to oprress people against their own and their members' wishes. If trans women making jam makes you angry please know you're a contemptible degenerate, disliked by everyone with an actual soul www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

It is so sad to see new exclusionary policies from Girlguiding, where trans girls had been so included before. The Woodcraft Folk is a brilliant, inclusive, non-segregated alternative for young people seeking fun, adventure and community! woodcraft.org.uk/woodcraft-fo...

Contact us if you have been affected by the policy changes of Girl Guiding or the Women's Institute. This could be as an individual, or because you lead a local Brownie group who don't want this policy change. We want to help protect trans inclusion. goodlawproject.org/about/contact/

Something needs to be done about the Guardian and the New Statesman. It ought to be utterly unacceptable that they sing from the same songsheet as the rest of the media on this.

There's not much left of the rule of law if organisations can be financially bullied into not asserting their legal rights. goodlaw.social/sb50

The Tribunal held that propriety is a social construct and standards of decency change over time. It also implicitly highlighted that the claimant was mistaken in believing the Supreme Court’s judgment granted her & her employer carte blanche to engage in discrimination. 🤭

The Edinburgh ET found that the 1992 regs on toilets and facilities refer to “biological sex”. However, it also held that workplace toilet access should be organised according to putative sex (per Croft), a position close to but not identical to the Good Law Project’s argument before the High Court.

Maria Kelly (an engineering and HR lead at aerospace firm Leonardo UK, represented by Sex Matter’s Naomi Cunningham) challenged her employer over transgender colleagues using female toilets. She lost.

Boy Scouts have included all genders for a long time. There is no reason why Girl Guides can’t do the same. The number of cis boys who would want to join would likely be zero or very close to zero.

Women’s rights campaigner. Yeah sure.

When will those Labour MPs who don't support the exclusion of trans people from society get together and tell the Cabinet 'Not In Our Name'? Because, with respect, it is well past time for them to do som

A statement from the Trans Greens regarding a recent decision by Girlguiding to exclude girls and young women who were not recorded female at birth.

the sad thing is JK Rowling has enough money to keep doing this forever even if everyone immediately stopped buying Harry Potter merchandise and they pull the films from streaming and shut the theme parks tomorrow

Despite what others may think , dehumanising trans people is just the start and before long people will say, “i didn’t know the trans haters wanted my rights too” @amnestyfeminist.bsky.social #translivesmatter #reproductiverights

For the many women I meet who support trans rights , in case you don’t know it, there is @nionwomen.bsky.social here and on instagram

It’s totally devastating that some groups and orgs have been pushed into such a position. Excluding our trans siblings is a backwards step. One day we will look back at this period in time and realise, what many of us know already. It’s utterly shameful and wrong.

If you’re a Guide Leader you can join this public Facebook group, created to push back against the trans-exclusionary policy they’ve just adopted… 👉 www.facebook.com/share/g/16i8...

To be clear, WI and GG trustees will have been told they faced personal liability including bankruptcy for breaching fiduciary duty by involving their organizations in legal proceedings they might well lose. They should be publicly fucking angry and uncivilised about the people responsible.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

80% of British media spends all day everyday calling trans people predators and freaks, and the remaining 20% say tsk tsk that's a bit much while still arguing they should be banned from even having a fucking hobby and, honestly, would it be so hard for them to just piss before they leave the house?

“The Women’s Institute will no longer accept transgender women as members…” This is another painful example of how trans women are being blocked from participating in social and public life. It’s a violation of trans people’s dignity. We must demand more of our institutions and defend trans lives.

If we had a decent government, they’d stop the wizard woman from bullying the country

I find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

Furious at this. TERFs and Gender Critical people are a loud, radicalized, wealthy minority, forcing groups who've done the right thing for years into horrible positions that none of them want. Stop buying Harry Potter. Fight for your trans brothers and sisters. They'll come for you next.
