Please can folks share this blog with cis folks they know in Scotland. Teachers. Healthcare workers. Council workers. Government. The UNCRC is part of Scottish law - every public institution, from small to large, has UNCRC obligations to trans children.

Sex Matters tried to block a ban on conversion practices, but the Council of Europe has voted to make it illegal goodlawproject.org/council-of-e...

Rough day for Sex Matters

Last week I was invited to Downing Street for a roundtable with the Prime Minister, chaired by Minister for Equalities Olivia Bailey MP @oliviabailey.bsky.social I had the opportunity to speak directly with the Prime Minister and I chose to talk about Trans+ History Week @transhistoryweek.com 🧵

Striking numbers which demonstrate, in spades, how tiny is the popular support for the culture of hate that Britain's institutions seem determined to impose on a kind and accepting majority. (Expect the BBC to ignore it or qualify it to oblivion.)

Sex Matters v City of London/Hampstead Heath judicial review full judgment. Permission REFUSED. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/se...

A City of London Corporation committee will decide the future access arrangements of the swimming ponds on Hampstead Heath next week. The NHS Trust in Darlington will need to decide whether to appeal. I’m sure both of them want GLP v EHRC handed down ASAP 🥺

People in England don't get free prescriptions

Yay, finally a new episode uploaded to my podcast "The T Elders" Chatting to the very energetic @heatherherbert.uk and @sophiemolly.co.uk I felt like a teacher trying too keep naughty kids in line🤣🤣 We talk about their journeys and various activism youtu.be/FNF3H3X0MSk?...

@chiitan.love gcn.ie/uk-council-e... chiitan help "The Council of Europe resolved that the sovereign country has seen enough of an increase in transphobic rhetoric and rising hostility to place the UK alongside other EU countries with openly anti-LGBTQ+ policies."

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is consulting on what topics should be included in the 2031 Census. @transactualuk.bsky.social have produced this really helpful guidance, and are encouraging both organisations & individuals to respond. Deadline 4 Feb 2026. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

New research on trans children and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC): With the UNCRC recently incorporated into Scottish law, @fiercemum.bsky.social and I teamed up to discuss the urgent actions needed to protect trans children's rights. brill.com/view/journal...

URGENT: Very important action by @goodlawproject.bsky.social Transphobes are trying to infiltrate the Council of Europe to roll back LGBTQ+ human rights by writing en masse to MPs on the CoE. Please use this tool to write to those MPs to counter this. Do it now. We have a week. Please share.

Welcome to the UK, where today transphobe Tanni Grey-Thompson, transphobe Sharron Davies and transphobe Toby Young have all taken their place in the House of Lords, where they’ll get to help decide our laws until they die, at our expense. Makes you sick, doesn’t it?

Starmer didn’t go to Davos because he knew Carney’s speech would humiliate him over his pro-US & pro-Brexit stance. Carney listened to trans woman Brynn Tannehill, while Starmer is too much of a transphobe to do so. Therefore Carney knows what Starmer doesn’t: the US is no longer a democracy.

New research maps the campaign to erase trans people from UK data 🔢 This peer-reviewed article offers the first detailed account of how UK campaign groups have sought to define sex as strictly biological across the census, policing, healthcare and digital ID. doi.org/10.1080/0958...

I have requested that EHRC investigate the BBC under their regulatory obligations.

Yesterday at a Guilty Feminist event I had a discussion with a mother who asked: Why would a parent not support their trans child? I gave an answer I’ve never given before. Just a thought. I said these parents were like the parent who pushed their child to learn the violin instead of the cello…

Saw a NION poster in the wild last week in a woman owned and run indy business with all women working there.

One of my upcoming History Month events...

FOI reveals that within the first week in office, Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson requested a meeting with Sex Matters to discuss "mutual priorities and ways to work together going forward"

The BBC is nakedly peddling fake news - and refusing to apologise for doing so - in furtherance of its transphobic agenda. 🧵

This article is a must-read. It matches my own experience of seeing conservative judges go from often siding with trans plaintiffs prior to 2021 to being outwardly hostile. Judges don't live in a hermetically sealed chamber. They absorbed anti-trans propaganda. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

I've just seen this on r/transgenderUK - www.reddit.com/r/transgende... A quick search allowed me to find the exam board - it is AQA. Exact page: www.savemyexams.com/a-level/psyc... Complain to AQA here: www.aqa.org.uk/contact-us/c...

We are supporting the Intersectional Uprising marches taking place across the UK on the 17th January: “We rise for trans women—because trans women are women, and their fight is our fight.” www.intersectionaluprising.co.uk

If the govt bans x, what happens to all the centrists who've found themselves with 'reasonable concerns' about trans people? Do they just go back to forgetting about us because it's not in their face every day?

This same study, on suicidality and impact of hormonal care for trans youth, can be interpreted in two parallel ways - this is important to note when discussing the 'evidence' for trans youth healthcare. A short thread 1/

New Study finds a significant reduction in suicidality after trans people receive gender-affirming hormone therapy. “Hormone therapy was associated with clinically meaningful reductions in suicidality over time…” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Labour won't introduce a trans-inclusive conversion practices ban, because the new NHS model of healthcare for trans youth that Streeting backs is built on conversion practies. That's Cass's legacy.

Incredibly important new study from Cal Horton @fiercemum.bsky.social - the first to look at England's post-Cass child/adolescent gender clinics. Dr Horton found patients and families are being actively harmed, with one young person describing appointments as "the worst thing I’ve ever experienced”.

The EHRC rejected my FoI request for the draft Code of Practice (of course). But I sense they may be vulnerable, so I am requesting Internal Review, and am happy to take that to the ICO if necessary. Image posted twice for the full alt text

Utah commissioned it's department of health to do a systematic review of gender affirming care for trans youth. In a 1000 page plus report found it was beneficial and the evidence was substantial. The lawmakers rejected it anyways. www.deseret.com/politics/202...

Society is changing, despite everything the right-wing are throwing at the demonisation of trans people We just need to get through it or, for the folks in my generation most likely, keep going for the benefit of those who come after us www.thenational.scot/news/2573263...

Written by the father of a trans girl… “When society tries to police and exclude trans girls, it ends up policing all girls. Because transmisogyny does not just say, “Trans girls aren’t real girls.” It also says, “There is only one correct way to be a girl.””

"Imposing measures intended to prevent births within a group" is explicitly defined as an act of genocide under international law by the Genocide Convention. Signatory states are obligated to prevent such crimes and punish such crimes. www.un.org/en/genocidep...

Bet you can't read those thank you notes without tearing up 🥹

We are currently in discussion with the NPCC about their policy of strip searches of transitioned women (in which we are treated as men because of the SC ruling). I'm going to just share with you exactly how incoherent the NPCC are, underlining just ONE tiny aspect of their response.

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.

🚨 The Crime and Policing Bill could see our fundamental right to protest stripped to the bone. Here's why you should be concerned - and how you can take action. https://www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/why-you-should-be-concerned-about-the-governments-plans-to-ban-repeat-protests/

"Judges are subject to attacks — online racist and sexist abuse and threats of violence. They have been doorstepped... legitimate criticism has spilt over to personal attacks based on inaccurate and “dangerous” narratives." How on earth did this happen asks The Times? Well...

Cass literally saying there has been no increase in suicide as a result of her ban on puberty-blockers. Tell that to the family of Leia Sampson-Grimbly. She is also ignoring all the other harm her ban is causing, that I have documented here in my peer-reviewed (unlike the Cass Review) research.

🧵 1/? Going through the recording: 6:00 Cass: "there was a fair amount of noise [...] about the fact that I wasn't an expert in this field, but that was a deliberate selection that NHS England made because people who were working in the field were so polarised*" * read: support trans rights

I took a second to pop it into youtube, as this will be way easier for people to access, have at it - blatant transphobia at your fingertips: www.youtube.com/watch?v=N15N...

Leaked audio from Cass talking to NHS Sheffield. drive.proton.me/urls/EPMR96E... Leak is thanks to Trans Kids Deserve Better www.instagram.com/reel/DSf3rqb...

As the Quakers continue to be awesome...

The Starmer regime is going to regret pissing off people like @humanrightsvicky.bsky.social with its petty, vindictive transphobia. It can hide its transphobia behind the SC/Sullivan/Cass, but if its transphobia costs businesses/state agencies data access it will experience big real consequences.

UK Key economic sectors face post-BREXIT challenge in 2026: the Gender Critical Data Chickens come home to roost. Today, Trans Exile Network, which helps trans+ people, their families and anyone perceived as trans to flee the UK in the present climate released the following update.
