We welcome new members @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social, @kevinmckenna.co.uk and @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social to the Committee 🤝

Last night I saw that anti trans group, Women’s Rights Network were furious about Cambridge University standing up to TERFs in regards to their rowing team. Apparently the university took a vote on allowing trans team members and I don’t think it was in favour of TERFs. What’s interesting though…

This couldn’t have happened without all the insanely hard working people at LGBTI Legal Service - you won’t see them mentioned much, but they made the legal challenge that led to this decision possible. They are the most under-funded org I have ever seen (yes, worse than the arts). Support them.

I see the Lib Dems are having trouble with their transphobe infestation again. In GPEW we're trying to get rid of them and they're suppressed right now. Transphobes left unchecked will break any party though.

TERFs now moaning at Hobbycraft. I would normally say they should get a hobby but apparently not 😅

We all know that the UK as the homeland of extreme transphobic bigotry, but a few rays of light seem to be piercing the stygian darkness of TERF island lately. The estimable @valorievandieman.bsky.social is Leading Off our week talking UK and Ireland.

This is what happens when ypu stick to your inclusive principles in an environment where people are sick and tired of seeing hate normalised.

🗣️ 65% of trans adults reported verbal abuse in public spaces 👊 24% said they have suffered physical violence A new YouGov poll reveals safety crisis for trans people in the UK: https://goodlaw.social/u5y8

200 billion dollar valuation btw💀💀💀

We are hearing some very troubling stories about trans exclusion, supported by the University, at Cambridge. We are making contact with affected societies and individuals and will fiercely protect the legal rights of trans students to live with respect and dignity.

Spy planes and Starmer named in UN report on Gaza complicity and crimes. If it is not reported in the papers you read in U.K. it’s time to read new papers. Your paper is involved in the denial and cover up of genocide and is genocide-washing your mind. “But we don’t hear about this” is no excuse

you mean to tell me there's a guy in Illinois running specifically on defending trans rights and his last name is "BLAHA"??? chat do you think he knows?

I joined the Green Party this morning 😁

Disastrous for both Labour and Tory parties; the Westminster political class with it's mutualistic relationship with the media and establishment, and it's disconnect from the rest of the country, is becoming irrelevant

In short, the study found that hormone therapy causes predictable, small changes in heart rhythm that mirror the differences seen between cis men and women, and doctors should keep that in mind when prescribing other drugs.

Losing words in vocabulary for exacly how bad today has been for the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Baroness Falkner, her incoming replacement and for the Gender Critical Ideological Movement of the UK who are strangely subdued. Cannot think why. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Well done everyone who had "reasonable concerns", you should see the exclusive set of countries the UK is now joining:"citing evidence that overseas firms were limiting travel to the UK for transgender employees over fears they would be unable to use facilities at airports and train stations safely"

This is why “do not comply in advance” is the answer. Making this barbarism expensive to police makes this more of a problem to this Labour government than the in-built attacks on human rights. Which is sickening.

“We do not believe the EHRC has provided satisfactory responses to questions around how they expect businesses to implement such stringent expectations.” Nearly 50 backbenchers have written to Peter Kyle warn about the EHRC’s upcoming guidance: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

🚨 Joint Statement This formal challenge to the EHRC’s fitness for purpose has been brought by @transactualuk.bsky.social, @amnestyuk.bsky.social k.bsky.social and @transsolidarity.bsky.social Together they have reported the EHRC to the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI)

I wonder if they'll include this in the ITV drama series they're thinking about making about FWS lol

Sorry, but how is this right? This is the trans woman's character assassination in the media. They've named her too like they did Beth. Her 'crime'? To be a trans woman in the UK in 2025. Seriously unbelievable. archive.is/J7QSt

Speaking at the ILGA-Europe conference in Vilnius; the For (Transphobic) Women Scotland decision features heavily alongside Trump and Orban in the introduction. That decision, in which the @supremecourt.uk locked trans people out of the hearing, has made us a recognised world leader in bigotry.

⚧️ RADICAL TRANS IDEOLOGY ⚧️

The letter sums up the real issues women face, that are being sidelined to attack trans women archive.is/2025.10.21-1...

“I WRITE as a feminist and the parent of a trans teenager. I have also spent years working to safeguard women and children. I understand risk – and where harm comes from”…

Assuming trans people's physiology based on our birth certificates is potentially unsafe

Unsurprisingly, science backs up trans women on HRT who say their bodies have become less like cis men and more like cis women. www.transvitae.com/research-fin...

Boy forced into girl's sports because someone wasn't paying attention when they did his birth certificate. Birth certificate trumps everything no matter what. Just what they wanted, right?

If a judgement is so fragile that it someone commenting on it as part of their job is a threat to it, then maybe it is not a good judgement... If a judgement is so fragile that it needs a senior MP to defend it every time it is criticised, maybe it is a bad judgement...

1/🧵 I am viewing a never-before-seen file on “gender reassignment” or trans inclusion policy at the National Archives, Kew. The Supreme Court should start sweating. A bagful of receipts!

Apparently I'm a finalist for a Trans in the City award. I feel privileged to have been recognised in this way by the community, but most of all to have been able to do the work I have been doing for the last six months, fighting for trans human rights.

I wonder what would happen if a trans person (even a “comedian”) called for the deaths of transphobes…? Also: Two questions… 1. How many people have been killed or driven to suicide because they were transphobes…? 2. How many people have been killed or driven to suicide because they were trans…?

Please spread x Thank you, as always, to the donors who make this possible. Community action 💪

(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.

Lmao

18 Oct 2025 -- Pop star/singer Sabrina Carpenter will now use her arena tour to funnel proceeds through the Sabrina Carpenter Fund to benefit the Transgender Law Center. Good on ya' SC! @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Pedro Pascal was spotted at the LA No Kings protest with the best sign there.

My take on this: 1. We have a hearing in the High Court 12/13 November. The EHRC has already substantially rolled back on where it was and, I think, is in some trouble. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/398...

"On [date of birth] I fell out of my mother's vagina with some flair. The doctor said 'it's a boy', causing me to cry. This should have been their first clue. Incompetent."

The (very clear) intention of the drafters of equality legislation in Britain, in Ireland, in Europe & around the world was to ERADICATE sex discrimination, NOT to create separate "men's rights" & "women's rights" to be assigned at birth based on genitals or chromosomes. #GOTF

More of this energy? Well, it’s a good start…

Who is in charge? An aspect of the almighty mess that is the For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers Supreme Court judgment that I have found surprising, perhaps shocking, is the silence from parliamentarians about the Supreme Court’s ignoring the will of Parliament.

Starmers visit to the conversion therapy church on his first Easter as Labour leader springs to mind.

An incredibly important third win in a row in our ongoing fight for the rights and dignities of trans people

Trans Safety Network have written to Healthwatch regarding their concerning recommendations in their trans health report. We fear if this report is not withdrawn, it will lead to significant deterioration in trans people's ability to access NHS care. transsafety.network/posts/danger...

And worse; "A verdict against a trans woman last week also sparked criticism: She was accused of not telling her partner about her trans identity before engaging in sexual activity. For this, she was sentenced to 21 months in prison – in a men's prison ( queer.de reported )."

The EHRC removed the "interim guidance" that has been devastating the lives of trans people for months from it's website. We wonder why...👀
