I made this video giving my thoughts on the draft EHRC code of practice. I have also written to my MP again as what we really need to make this count. youtu.be/6JonXk81fcQ

EHRC Code of Practice will be laid before parliament after 7 May, please write to your MP now it's really easy: action.goodlawproject.org/force-govern...

I am the 3rd time lucky girl! I finally got to see @holycovesband.bsky.social last night and it was lovely to see Scott after. Awesome gig with awesome people. Had a lovely chat with Sean from Hazy Sundays at the after party. Come to Manchester again soon please. 😘

A really powerful video by Jake. He's so good at capturing how it feels. TDoV: fb.watch/GbJ3OW2Og2/

A blast from my past, back on this day in 2015 with me competing in the Toyota Sprint Series in my old quite modified GT86. It was very slippery that day at Snetterton! youtu.be/prK9mIAIB7Y?...

Was supposed to officiate, but Arcadia were short of jammers so I ended up in the crazy situation of jamming against my own team (Rainy City). Was so much fun. Obviously Rainy one, but I nailed a fair few points as jammer. :)

Happy International Womens Day. Where else would I be than with this awesome bunch of women playing roller derby.

We are definitely going this Saturday. It’s a really nice vibe with a great group of people. Will my husband fall over? Come see. 😆

MRD Jammer Club yesterday. The first rule of Jammer Club is we talk about Jammer Club! It was an awesome morning training and really getting my focus on jammer skills. So much fun! 🙂

Rainy City Roller Derby Christmas party was so much fun last night. Who knew having a ball fight could be so much fun. 😆

This is so very sad and it made me cry. Thank you @robinince.bsky.social this means so much. I am disgusted with the BBC. I am so scared that this reflects where most of the media are at. Thank you for standing up for us, I am so sorry it has cost you so much. www.facebook.com/share/v/1Bgd...

What a beautifully awesome day it was at Skaters Unite for Trans Rights. All proceeds went to GLP & Trans Mutual Aid. A great day for the Manchester Roller Derby teams to join forces as we fight for our rights.

Had a fantastic first proper game jamming for Rainy City against Liverpool. We didn't win, but we still netted nearly 200 points and for an unofficial D team with 7 rookies playing a C team, that's a win to me. Was absoluteluy awesome. ❤️ Roller derby. 😍

Today is game day where I get to captain for Rainy City and take on Liverpool Roller Birds C Team. I am the jammer. 🙂

We are co-hosting this event with Manchester Roller Derby, Arcadia Roller Derby and of course my very own Rainy City Roller Derby. Come stand together with us, lets raise some serious funds, have an awesome day with awesome people. www.facebook.com/events/62593...

My story essentially. Feel a bit scared to share it! But I hope it’s useful and shows that all the pain and trauma is worth it. youtu.be/nwxOmsOZU_I?...

This is how it really is. There is no balance.

Let's really hope that this piece is a pretty good summary of what has been going on at the EHRC, demonstrating it's pathetic incompetence. We can but hope. iandunt.substack.com/p/frightened...

Ugla is so right. The EHRC stance will simply put trans people like me at risk and it will do nothing to protect anyone. If you haven’t already, please write to your MP. trib.al/uBcGk3F

I wrote to my MP (Tom Morrison LD) regarding my concerns about the EHRC draft. I wrote a personal email to give some perspective. I received a well thought out and supportive reply. He did say that he is awaiting to see it and of course the issues will be in the details. Please write to your MP.

Finally I got my husband to put wheels on his feet! With some fab tuition from Grant of Skating Queer he got going. Even better, he enjoyed it! Had an awesome time at Skating Queer in Ardwick and met some awesome people. We'll be back again in two weeks time. 🙂

I seriously worry that this is a sign of things to come. 😔 NHS Fife staff told to use toilets based on 'sex at birth' www.bbc.com/news/article...

I see the govt are now pushing ID cards in the name of immigration. I have serious concerns around this given all the challenges to data held and how it could be used against the trans community. metro.co.uk/2025/09/25/u...

I know I'm preaching to those who already know, but this is what is going on. On FB it deletes this link and prevents it being shared. medium.com/@mimmymum/eh...

More pics from the Big Gay Skate Manchester. Such an awesome day with awesome people and great representation from Rainy City Roller Derby. 💜

This is Pride. Did the big gay skate today in Manchester with Rain City and the crew. It was awesome. 💜☔️

Not sure what you're doing tomorrow? Here's an idea, come to the Big Gay Skate. Even if you're not on skates, come for the social. as DEI Lead for Rainy City Roller Derby I will be there with my crew to show our support for the LGBTQIA+ community. Come show your support. 💜

Just been reading this. It truly is shocking and this is the real impact of the SC ruling even before the EHRC twist the knife and make life even more impossible for us. 😥 transactual.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Great night out in the Village last night with my husband and @itsloulou43.bsky.social Hope your head doesn't hurt this morning Louise! 😆

Fab to see @itsloulou43.bsky.social coming all the way from Newcastle to NSO with me for Rainy City. She did my scrim too Penalty Box Timer extraordinaire! 💜💜 I was jam timing. Team work! 💜💜

I don't normally fall over, but today I hit a stone skating down the road and yep, ended up on my arse, well thigh. I landed on one knee, then went over. If only I could have done a 'pornstar' landing. Derby skills! 😆

This is still really relevant. Since taking testosterone in April, my performance in terms of stamina has improved significantly and I fatigue at a slower rate than I did before when jamming at roller derby. I am challenging Leeds GIC on this issue. I know I'm not the only one.

I'm really loving getting into jamming more at Rainy City. Yes, there's some derby kisses in there, but it so worth it. Though it might not look like it, avoiding hitting people was the mission here! 💜

More from Trans Pride Manchester. It was an amazing, affirming and beautiful day with incredible people. 🏳️‍⚧️ @izzyg2020.bsky.social @itsloulou43.bsky.social @sexabolition.blog

Louise with me and my husband in my local last night. Today Trans Pride Manchester. @itsloulou43.bsky.social

Saturday 2 August is Trans Pride Manchester. Protest march starts at 12pm. Arrive at The Proud Place Sidney Street M1 7HB from 11am. I will be there with friends and on skates with Rainy City & Arcadia roller derby teams. Skates are optional but be there! 🙂 www.transpridemcr.org/transpride2025

Been to see my GP after a lacklustre response from Leeds GIC following Charing X severely under-dosing me on E since surgery back in 2000. 19 years with an E level of 43pmol/l. GP referred and I have a DEXA scan in 2 weeks. Also been on a low dose of T since April. (1)

New skate day! These are my Chaya Elite Purple Evil skates. I bought these to cruise and practice outdoors on quads to help my derby skills. Wheels are very soft but they ride rough ground pretty well. It's always a compromise. 1.5 hours & 11km first time out is a good sign. It's too hot!

3rd place and a bronze medal in the World Cup. Fantastic. Well done England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️ Better result than the Euros eh?

Half time at the World Cup semifinals. It’s so incredibly close for England vs Australia. Come on England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great jamming by one of my faves, Lucy for England vs Italy. Final score 241 to 37. England through to the quarter final. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

In Munich on Wednesday on my way to Innsbruck for the Roller Derby World Cup. 🙂

Roller Derby WC. Watch 999 Lammy from Chinese Nations jam for 4 points against West Indies. It has been every kind of awesome so far. ❤️

With the Rainy crew. ☔️💜 Roller Derby World Cup here we come. 💜

This may actually be some help in causing further delay. Also nice to see an old friend of mine, Alexa involved who I shared some consultancy work with historically. Equality Commission to seek clarity on court gender ruling www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s too hot to skate so I went skating. Just a mere 18km! Still it was great to be out and I may have cruised the last 6k!

Thank you for writing this Naomi. It's lovely to hear your perspective on Charing X. When Louise and I were discussing the podcast, we really wanted to capture what it was like back in the day, how our life literally revolved around it and how the psychiatrist's held our lives in their hands.

What is really going on. It is terrifying and nobody is doing anything to realistically stop it. When I cease to exist I will no longer be here.
