Wondering how politicians have become so hostile to trans people? In part, it’s because they’ve believed professional organisations endorsing ‘gender critical’ transphobes - like the Association of Child Protection Professionals (AoCPP) What happens when safeguarding is captured harmful ideology?

I spent months on this investigation and gathered docs from the UK courts, Land Registry and a French local authority, to show that Raynor and Moth Winn's story is not as they claim. @tortoisemedia.bsky.social @observeruk.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

I want to thank the Scottish sex workers who spoke to me about the reality of their lives It took courage to share their stories. I’ve huge respect for them They’re deprived of a voice, demonised and marginalised, and face new laws that will endanger them www.heraldscotland.com/politics/252...

The whole core premise of the "Gender Critical" nonsense about toilets is just so obviously rubbish. Ok so there's a trans person using the toilet next to you... so? Get a fucking life

It is significant that protests against the Supreme Court misjudgement are widespread and not just in central London, Brighton and Manchester.

“Trans women have never felt like a risk or a threat or a problem. While I can’t speak for everyone I honestly can’t think of an example where our trans-inclusive policy has been a problem for a service user.” - Katie Russell, CEO of a rape crisis support service. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

If you don't like our trans inclusive stance, don't visit. It's not like you've been visiting anyway, keep that up.

Tells you everything you need to know about the UK that one of its richest and most beloved people spent years making it harder for people to use the toilet, and celebrated by posting an Andrew Tate style photo of herself smoking a cigar on a yacht

“They should have known that to deliver justice means hearing from both sides. They should have had some humility about the limits of their own knowledge.”

My biological sex is female. It has changed Phenotype is orders of magnitude more important than genotype for everything from discrimination to healthcare to sexuality Chromosomes are meaningless and any law treating them as all sex is is wrong

While not the outcome we had hoped for, it doesn’t change the fact that trans women are women, nor does it take away the legal protections in place for trans people in the Equality Act under Gender Reassignment. This is not an excuse for anyone to discriminate against trans people.

Love how billionaires with large Twitter followings can essentially buy Supreme Court rulings against vulnerable minority groups, love being transgender in this country

On what is a really difficult day, here are some resources for our trans friends and allies. Solidarity 💜 goodlawproject.org/resource/sup...

Having excluded all trans people from proceedings before it, the Supreme Court decides in favour of For Some Women Scotland.

"Trans rights campaigners and people say otherwise. ‘No matter the outcome today at the Supreme Court, trans and non-binary people will never be erased,’ Sophie Molly, a Scottish trans rights campaigner, told Metro." We shall overcome. Stand tall. Stand proud 🏳️‍⚧️ metro.co.uk/2025/04/16/j...

This has to be against the Hippocratic Oath You have children who need help, you know what the best treatment recommended internationally is, they're already taking it, and you're legally required not to help them at all Really disgusting www.thepinknews.com/2025/04/11/w...

Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵

We know that a lot of trans people's are having the experience of their GP refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do. Take a look at our 'My GP is Refusing to Prescribe My HRT' resource: transactual.org.uk/medical-tran...

It is so 2025 that a film with a trans storyline that the trans community fucking despises wins some of the most prestigious film awards in the world and the cisgender winners don’t even mention what’s happening to the trans community in the very country they’re accepting the awards in

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Major breaking trans news: The States of Washington, Minnesota, and Oregon have sued the Trump administration to block it from enforcing a national gender affirming care ban for those under 19 years of age. This is the second major lawsuit over Trump's trans ban EO. Docs to come.
