🧵 Today, TGEU launches Trans human rights, realities, and resilience in Europe — our new analysis of European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (@fra.europa.eu) EU LGBTIQ Survey III. 📖 Read the full report on our website: tgeu.org/tgeu-publish... #TransRights #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Having reached the end of the sitting day, the EHRC Code of Practice has officially passed. It can now be brought into force at a date to be confirmed by govt. Read our joint response with @transactualuk.bsky.social and @scottishtrans.bsky.social: www.transsolidarityalliance.com/post/joint-s...

Important article that sets out the situation of official / politically mandated trans health care in Norway also in light of the recent scandal of accessing and using patient data without consent, misinterpreting the data. Institutions fight about the power to grant, direct and execute treatment

Okay so my partner's submission said "my partner is trans" and got rejected by the select committee because "it considers that your submission shares personal, private, or medical information about a third party.” Turns out they're constrained by law in this, and she can amend the submission... 1/2

This is amazing; 40 women’s organizations standing in support of trans people’s human rights against this government’s targeting of trans people against the EHRC transphobic code. Trans people and cis women’s rights are not in opposition.

@imarajones.bsky.social and @chrisgeidner.bsky.social are going live on TransLash’s YouTube today at 3 PM ET to unpack the Supreme Court’s decision upholding state bans on trans girls and women competing in school sports. 🔗: https://www.youtube.com/@TransLashMedia/streams

Trans people just want the right to exist safely as their true selves, like everyone else. But they’ve become easy scapegoats for the conservative moment, which vilifies them and threatens to criminalize their very existence. It's straight from the authoritarian playbook. Shameful.

Getting replies from folks who clearly didn't read, believing they already "know" what is in this short, easy-to-read article. I promise you don't! Yes, they hate LGBTQ people. But the article shows they also hate most straight people. Read to find out how! www.salon.com/2026/06/29/n...

I've been doing trans activism for a long time and I have regularly tried to encourage younger trans people into it. One of the main reasons why so many don't, and seek to keep their heads down is because of *criticism from their own side*. This is why I rarely try & police other... 1/6

As a fan of Star Trek & other science fiction, I don’t mind if science is fudged for dramatic effect. But when the scientific process & scientists themselves are misrepresented, inserting secrecy & efforts at social control, it contributes to distrust in science & misconceptions that can cause harm.

Mir scheint: Die Menschen unterschätzen ihren eigenen Gestaltungsspielraum. Schreibt Mails, wenn euch was abfuckt und sagt euren Freund:innen, dass sie es auch tun sollen. Zeigt Präsenz, zumindest so. Weg mit der Lähmung, rein ins machen.

It appears the government won't be satisfied until it has hounded trans people out of society altogether. The Government are choosing every moment and mechanism they can to demonstrate they don't care about their lives. We have to draw the line. Reject the framework.

The constant harassment of Jess O’Thomson is fucking disgusting and some of y’all are no better than GCs. They are a wonderful person, legal advocate, and activist. Go fuck yourselves.

In this month‘s Sunday interview for SWAJ, I talked to the wonderful @bildoperationen.bsky.social about the use of generative AI images by right-wing and fascist movements, similarities and differences of the visual language used in right-wing US and European discourse and gender performance.

A round up of this week's @250to250.bsky.social one-minute videos about U.S. History:

I was just offered to be on a pilot TV show where people debate various "controversial" topics; they wanted me as an expert defending the reality of the moon landings. I turned them down flat. I will not elevate conspiracy bullshit into something debatable. Been down that road. It goes nowhere.

Die Menschenverachtung, tanzend einen Menschen in eine Mülltonne zu kippen, ist ja per se total deprimierend. Aber der Mensch, der dieses KI-Video verbreitet, ist der Präsident der ältesten Demokratie der Welt, der nicht aushält, dass ein Satiriker Scherze über ihn macht. Es ist nur mehr irre.

Satuday's @theguardian.com cartoon #transrights #EHRC #LGBTQ

This cartoon by Ella Baron from the Guardian today actually made me well up a little. We will keep fighting. Together.

Hi. The Code doesn't apply to educational provision in schools. But, relevantly, we wrote a response to the draft KCSIE guidance here: goodlawproject.org/good-law-pro...

The updated code of practice for services, public functions and associations has been laid before Parliament. The guidance tells organisations how they should approach trans inclusion. Here’s what that means.

We've read the new Code of Practice. Here's what you need to know.

Die Zusage der Politik lautete: „Die Krankenkassen haben keinen Zugriff auf die Daten aus der elektronischen Patientenakte ePA.“ Jetzt sollen die Kassen die Daten doch nutzen dürfen. Das ist eine Einmischung in die ärztliche Behandlung. www.aerztezeitung.de/Wirtschaft/G...

We said it: DJT is not giving up on efforts to capture #Greenland. "One way or the other." For now, they only keep it up through presence of the powerful, through attempts to bribe citizens, through badmouthing, ...

For my newsletter, I wrote about the killing of Juniper Blessing and ruminated on who the media thinks deserves attention in death. Friday newsletters are usually paywalled, but I have made the mini-essay portion of this post free to all: www.burnsnotice.com/her-name-was...

Charlie Angus and Jenny Yeremiy discuss foreign interference by the Trump regime in the Alberta separatist referendum: "I think the biggest threat to Canada and the biggest threat to Alberta is the US ... this is the way that they're trying to break us apart."

Setting aside how ridiculous it all is, uh, there's no evidence that Charlie Kirk's killer "espoused extreme transgender ideologies" (whatever that means). Like, the guy may have been dating someone who is trans, but that seems to be it?

Please remember that the purpose of the OSA was not child safety, it was to create a captive market for the AV and content scanning sectors, and sales pitches were what shaped the law, as I wrote here. internet.exchangepoint.tech/the-dog-that... They want their ROI and they want it now.

The ACCME has also announced that they have opened an inquiry into PAS over the panel.

🚨Yesterday, the Pediatric Endocrine Society sent out this email to their supporters condemning the recent anti trans PAS panel: mailchi.mp/906a861e8bbe... But wait there’s more! (See comments) 👇🧵

In a world where "AI" submissions are a plague, human-written stories are the cure for an editor's breaking heart. Don't let the flood discourage you from sending your work out there. You are better, no what the hype of the moment says. We want your stories. Not the slop-infested noise.

On 15 April, Alexander Lukashenko signed a harsh law penalising so called “LGBT propaganda” in Belarus. It targets information on sexual orientation, gender identity, and even childfree lifestyles, with vague wording allowing broad enforcement. Please share widely!

Today marks a year since the Supreme Court decision. We now know a revised version of the draft statutory guidance is due in May. We need to act fast to make sure it explains how trans people can still be included. Write to your MP to tell them what they need to do, using our quick and easy tool 👇
