“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...

"Because here’s the truth: this so-called ‘bathroom ban’ won’t protect anyone. It will only breed suspicion, hostility, and humiliation. And all of it could have been avoided if the people in power had chosen empathy over ideology."

“Everyday activities like going to a public bathroom or going swimming with your friends has suddenly become an area riddled with anxiety, uncertainty and risk.” @uglastefania.bsky.social reminds us how the British government is making public spaces hostile to trans and gender non-conforming folks.

Samstaða á tímum bakslags í mannréttindabaráttu hefur aldrei verið mikilvægari. En hvernig sýnum við samstöðu? Og hvernig getum við snúið þróuninni við? Ég og Sóley ætlum að bjóða upp á skemmtilega og gagnlega vinnustofu 20. október næstkomandi. Skráningarhlekkur fyrir neðan 👇

So yes, Brigitte Macron might win against Candace Owens – and I hope she does. But the smear has already done its work. The war on women’s identities grinds on, fuelled by spite and dehumanisation. And in that war, nobody is the winner.”

Það er eitthvað mjög lýsandi fyrir ástandið á Íslandi að einhverjir rugludallar séu farnir að nota samráðsgátt Alþingis eins og kommentakerfi í einhverjum álhattahóp á FB.

Reform rearing up their homophobia for the next election, I see. Transphobia seems to work, so why not? This would be comical if it wasn’t so dangerous, and clearly an attempt to undermine equal marriage and adoption rights.

Í dag kom út þessi grein eftir Ölmu D. Möller heilbrigðisráðherra, þar sem hún fer yfir helstu staðreyndir um kynstaðfestandi heilbrigðisþjónustu á Íslandi og undirstrikar mikilvægi hennar. Við mælum eindregið með lestri hennar! Takk Alma 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Reporting a new Banksy mural which attacks the legal system for criminalizing protests against genocide, the BBC adds "the graffiti has been covered up and guarded". Thanks Dad.

endalaus þöggun alltaf

Þessi kynhlutlausu nöfn eru nú alveg farin úr böndunum!

“Þöggun í gangi” segir fólkið um umræður sem hafa verið stanslaust til umræðu í næstum fimm daga.

Snorri að reyna að útskýra fyrir Þorbjörgu, sérfræðingi í sviði bakslagsins, að hún væri nú bara að bulla er mjög lýsandi fyrir bakslagið. Þetta væri svona eins og ef manneskja sem hefur aldrei stigið fæti í sveit færi að útskýra fyrir manneskju sem er alin upp á kúabúi hvernig mjaltir virka.

Fascist governments are undermining abortion access, trans health care, gay relationships, etc under the guise of “fighting gender ideology.” So, anyone who believes in women’s rights and gay rights should be showing solidarity to oppose their politics, not colluding with it to attack trans people.

eins og hvað??

They were LITERALLY protesting against JK Rowling's best mate and partner in Lumos etc Baroness Nicholson. Literally. Truth doesn't matter any more. Today they're protesting against HER.

Won't somebody please think of the mice?

“This is not a call for charity. It is a call to face an uncomfortable truth: solidarity is meaningless if it does not name – and challenge – the systems that keep people excluded while they struggle to survive under siege, occupation and deliberate deprivation.” This is harrowing & vital writing.

"So when I see Nandy marching in Pride with a ‘protect the dolls’ shirt, it feels hollow. How can you claim to protect us while the government you serve strips our rights away and undermines our identities and lived reality? It means nothing unless it translates into real action."

Information relating to the M&S complaint, reportedly from the trans woman whom the complaint was about. Almost everything claimed in recent articles is extremely inaccurate. 1/

Today some transphobe claimed that myself and another trans woman in Iceland hijacked the entire gay movement and that we have STOLEN Pride from gays and lesbians. I was 8 when Reykjavík Pride was founded, and 16 when Trans Iceland became a part of the umbrella organisation. But sure. I'll take it.

Every article/story that associates a migrant with sexual violence should make clear that most sexual violence is perpetrated by local men (mostly white men) at home. Immigration is not the cause of increased sexual violence — misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, etc are the reasons why it persists.

A reminder: there is nothing “legitimate” or “reasonable” about resenting people who seek asylum and attacking their accommodation. It’s just racism.

"It gives every indication of being wrongly decided and should not, in our view, be relied upon by organisations as justification for excluding trans people from public life.” www.thepinknews.com/2025/08/14/s...

As trans people make up less than 1% of the population in the UK, it was always gender non-conforming cisgender women who were going to be most directly affected by this pointless gender policing.
