I don't see any one talking about Athena Forum, and how they are now quietly spreading Orban style policies and UK TERFism into the EU Trans people in Europe, really need to be aware of how fast this organisation is moving, and how much influence they already have! #EUTransphobia #EU #TransRights

Please share. Thanks

I began my second transition at 45. It's never too late!

this is a Canadian petition to uphold charter rights for transgender and minority communities if youre Canadian, please sign it. if youre not Canadian, please share it. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Unbelievable 😡 “The wording of the H.R. 3492 exemption plainly states that “genital or bodily mutilation” is “not a violation” if it is performed on a child with an intersex variation. “

Oh wow so the BBC lied.

The #GuiltyFeminist talks to #BaronessBarker and #MonicaFerro about #transphobia, #abortion, #Women'sRights and #Equality in the #UK and beyond. The conversation starts at 32:45 #DeborahFrancisWhite #TERFisland #TransChildren #TransRights #Feminism

Being trans is not a mental illness. It is not a failure or an outcome to be prevented. Attempts to change or suppress someone’s identity are harmful and must be banned for people of all ages. As parents of trans people, we want our children to receive timely care that supports their wellbeing.

Absolutely thrilled that @mimmymum.bsky.social managed a shout-out for @nionwomen.bsky.social at the live recording of the incredible @theguiltyfeminist.bsky.social podcast. If that doesn’t persuade you to sign our letter, I don’t know what will! Find us here: notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Reading this as an #intersex person who went through forced surgical transtion, in 1978, in the UK, at 8 years old Nothing has changed. The people who are supposed to help us, either can't, or just won't #SophieMolly #TransChildren #Transphobia #UK #TERFisland #TransGenocide #WellBN #NHS #NHSE

In conversation with Shon Faye. Premiering now: 👇🏼 youtu.be/3qkAGseHe3I?...

The court in the Sandie Peggie tribunal loss has today posted a certificate of correction to the judgement. This does not change the overall verdict. The quote that had Forstater foaming at the mouth in glee yesterday turns out today to bring tears to her eyes.

If you are a woman, being intersex does not make you less of a woman. If you are a man, being intersex does not make you less of a man. If you are intersex and nonbinary, being intersex doesn't change who you are. Your intersex status doesn't determine your gender. Your gender belongs to you.

Really good work from The National. Want to know what happened? Read this.

What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?

Hands down, my favourite book as a child!

Trans women has been welcomed at the Women's Institute since the 1970s and one member is in her 80's and has been a member for decades. This is pure bigotry pushed by legal threats backed monetarily by JK Rowling. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

remember: blame @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social this is her fault. she could fix this mess quite easily but is instead pandering to our press.

When writing this piece, I kept thinking back to this Instagram post I saw from a trans woman the other day. This is what I'm talking about. Watch this:

😞 I really hate when they target children like this. This is so cruel to young trans girls. #UK #TERFisland #TransGenocide #Transphobia #TheCrueltyIsThePoint #FWS #UKSC

BIG NEWS: Intersex Rights Putting Intersex people's voices at the centre of legislation that is about them, and protect Intersex children from unnecessary medical procedures The Bill will restrict deferrable medical treatments until the person can make the decision themselves

Evidence has now emerged of the adverse consequences of the laws banning GAHT for trans youth in both the US and UK. This includes sharp declines in mental health and increased suicide attempts among transgender young people. t.co/YZaiSgdDAl

Does anyone know Aoife Melusine of Glasgow @melusinequinn.bsky.social ? I’m very worried about her safety.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

The EHRC’s final Code of Practice - the one that will decide how every trans person is treated in jobs, services and public life - has now been leaked to The Times. A newspaper openly hostile to us gets to drip-feed selective quotes. But the people directly affected? We’re kept in the dark.

I’m so proud to be part of this initiative. Parents have set it up BUT we welcome ALL OF YOU to sign our Transparent Pledge in support of trans+ people. actionnetwork.org/petitions/tr... You can sign anonymously if you need to. Let’s get to 500 signatures by Monday. Share. Share. Share.

402 signatures, over 100 a day. My goal of 500 by Monday is within our sights. Are you a supportive mum, dad, aunt, uncle, sibling, grandparent, extended family member, friend, neighbour, work colleague of a trans person? Take a look at the Transparent Pledge and help Transparent Action grow.

The “Pathways” trial is, IMO on more than one level, a thoroughly unethical piece of “research” to be carrying out on children, especially children who are part of a marginalised minority.

By which time the prescription of puberty blockers will be too late, irreversible changes of puberty will have occurred, dysphoria will persist and the treatment will be deemed ineffective. Hardly surprising when the doctor in charge has ties to SEGM. This is not a clinical trial. It’s cruelty.

The trail will involve 220 children. Meanwhile 3000 another children seeking health care for their gender dysphoria will be placed on an ‘observational’ study. The old ‘watch and wait’ is how Alice was treated. Although this time there might be someone actually watching, this is not health care.🧵

This report does not quote any trans children, or parents of trans children, or any trans people at all. It does quote Keira Bell saying it’s “disgusting”, though. New puberty blockers trial to begin after UK ban www.bbc.com/news/article...

The truth about Riley Gaines, laid out in this podcast by journalist #MadisonPauly from The Center for Investigative Reporting, is even worse than I suspected #RileyGaines #USTransphobia #Transphobia #Trump #TransRights #LiaThomas

This #TransgenderDayOfRememberance, we remember the over 280 trans people killed globally this year and the many more lost to suicide. They deserved to live safely, without fear, and to be fully who they are. May their memories move us to keep fighting for a world where all trans people are free.

💛💜💛 "more than two dozen states have passed bans on gender-affirming care like surgery and hormones for transgender minors. In every one, the law makes an explicit exception for treatment and procedures for #intersex youth" Because of course they have 🤬 #IntersexChildren #BodilyAutonomy
