I'll be joining the Together Alliance march in London on 28 March as part of the NION women's group. @notinournameuk.bsky.social Hoping to see thousands of people standing up for unity and solidarity.

If you are a parent or family member of a trans person, please consider signing the Transparent Action pledge. 1772 signatures and growing..... Thanks to @alicemydaughter.bsky.social for mentioning this at the Transmission concert. actionnetwork.org/petitions/tr...

I’ve just written to my MP asking them to support the Together Alliance motion against hate and the rise of the far right. It only takes a minute — will you write to your MP too? actionnetwork.org/letters/invi...

My original repost had an error. Queer AF has worked tirelessly to establish these facts. Trans ppl make up ~0.5% of the population but account for ~7% of U18 suicide. Clear evidence of the fatal consequences of the anti-trans efforts of successive governments, media and groups like Sex Matters

Beautifully written article. Why the War on Trans Girls Is a War on Girlhood by ParentofaTransGirl medium.com/p/why-the-wa...

If, like me, you are appalled by Girlguiding's exclusion of trans people, please sign and share this petition. c.org/p4FKXfqYvG

Glad @helenmaguiremp.bsky.social has signed. Most folk are unaware that draft new EHRC Code has potential to muddy/erode human rights of trans and non-trans people in UK + create legal minefield for service providers. Write to MPs urgently to call for parliamentary debate and free vote on Code.

Glad @helenmaguiremp.bsky.social has co-signed this. Most folk are unaware that draft new EHRC Code insidiously muddies/erodes human rights of both trans and non-trans folk in UK + creates legal minefield for service providers. Write to MPs and ask them to demand parliament debate and free vote.

Trans people are anxiously waiting for the EHRC’s final guidance to be published, following its extreme and unworkable interim guidance. I know many are worried it will further the exclusion of trans people. I've written to govt to say that we MPs must be given time to debate it.

@stephengethins.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk Please call on government to allow parliamentary debate and free vote on the new draft EHRC Code of Practice.

A pleasure to meet Helen Maguire MP today. I shared concerns about the EHRC's draft Code of Practice which would marginalise trans people and undermine the human rights of us all. Disturbingly, the Code is going for government approval without scrutiny/debate by Parliament. Make your MP aware.

Harrowing TransActual report with accounts of trans folk and others facing abuse and humiliation following the misinterpreted SC judgment and flawed EHRC guidance. Please make MPs aware. transactual.org.uk/impacts-of-the-supreme-court-ruling-on-trans-people/trans-segregation-in-practice/

This Open Letter to D of E urges revision of the 2026 RSHE guidance to schools. Please read + consider adding your name. The guidance puts trans and gender non-conforming pupils at risk. Schools must be spaces where all can see themselves reflected and supported. openletter.earth/the-urgent-n...

My alter ego, ‘Gilead Woman’, was out again yesterday! 😉😄 This time in grassroots Trans Pride Manchester; fighting for the lives of trans & non-binary folk. Seeing the insidious erosion of their basic rights, visible support from others for this beautiful but vulnerable community is vital.

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk @helenmaguiremp.bsky.social @lisasmartmp.bsky.social See MPs' letter to chair of EHRC calling out the EHRC's appalling treatment of trans folk. What are Liberal Democrats doing to defend trans people? Apart from @cajardinemp.bsky.social, seems to be deafening silence.

Never thought I'd feel bound to march in London Pride! The attack on human rights of trans people in the UK is a shocking misdirection. If it is not stopped, I believe the hard-won rights of others - including women - will also be at risk.

I have had death threats for my work on trans rights. I have been stalked. I have had people try and have me thrown out of my University. I am by no means alone, and lots of trans-inclusive academics have spoken publicly about the violence and harassment they face. But no mention of that here.

Proud to join this mass lobby on 25 June, alongside friends and family. It has never felt more vital to stand up for trans people. Looking forward to meeting our MPs on the day. @helenmaguiremp.bsky.social @stephengethins.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk www.transsolidarityalliance.com/about-7

I'm hoping that hundreds of trans allies will be joining me at the Trans+ Solidarity Alliance mass lobby at Westminster on 25 June.

If you are able to join the mass lobby at Westminster on 25 June 2025, please register and write to your MP asking them to meet you. www.transsolidarityalliance.com/about-7

This petition signed by women expressing support for the trans community is growing fast. Please read it and if you agree with what is stated, please show support by signing. www.change.org/p/not-in-our...

Deeply concerning report from TACC. If content of this report is correct, it surely raises serious questions to be answered by EHRC leadership. @cajardinemp.bsky.social @helenmaguiremp.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

@translucent.org.uk are trying raise £100k to cover court & legal fees for action against the EHRC. Please show your support if you can, and share this far and wide. www.crowdjustice.com/case/bin-the...

I went to the Charleston festival, and asked Lady Hale a question. I referred to human rights based on subjectivity, and her judgment in A v West Yorkshire Police: our "right to a sexual identity". I am delighted her reply is reported. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/may...

1/🧵 Today, I am suing the Information Commissioner (and potentially Wes Streeting’s Department of Health and Social Care, if they choose to participate) over the secrecy surrounding the Louis Appleby Report and the suicide statistics related to the Tavistock GIDS.

UN human rights experts express concern about discrimination against trans people in UK in wake of Supreme Court judgment. @cajardinemp.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk Righhchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/05/un-experts-warn-legal-uncertainty-and-rights-implications-following-ukts

Alarming news: shows that the UK Court ruling restricting legal rights of trans people is not an isolated incident, but part of a trend of human rights being dismantled across Europe. We all need to write to our MPs calling for action to protect trans rights. www.ilga-europe.org/press-releas...

Reposting this useful article on how to write to MPs. "Governments will ignore the thousands who take to the streets, and Politicians will file away our emails ........ But there is one thing that our Members of Parliament cannot ‘file away ’….the constituent’s hard copy letter on paper."

this comment by TransLucent about a 'predetermined outcome' for that EHRC consultation is all too plausible. I'm getting the sense that this would be following a pattern we've already seen....

🍎 "My transition as a teacher, already a complex process, has been politicised before I even started by these relentless efforts to stigmatise and marginalise queer identities." https://www.wearequeeraf.com/my-life-as-a-transgender-teacher-as-we-enter-a-new-era-of-section-28/

Japan is a nice country but struggles with the idea of trans people so this is amazing

Please buy from Ben and Jerry's, and from any businesses which openly oppose the present oppressive situation in the UK. The vast majority of British people are now too scared to stand up and be counted lest the large anti-trans media machine goes to work, but once a few rise, many will follow.

Good to see these Pride organisers' expression of solidarity with the trans+ community. Open support and solidarity with the tiny trans+ community - by individuals, companies and organisations - has never been more important. www.manchesterpride.com/a-united-fro...

This Feb '25 article highlights how powerful forces are targeting trans people to distract from real issues because they think they can dehumanize this tiny minority without political pushback; and trans folk embody the liberty and gender equality they abhor. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@helenmaguiremp.bsky.social Helen, thank you for signing the Trans+ History Week Early Day Motion 1181. Please will you and other Lib Dems also sign EDM 1251 calling for Support for the Trans Community? edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo... @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @cajardinemp.bsky.social

There seems to be an urgent need to educate MPs, Lords, judges and the wider population on what it actually is to be trans+. Most probably don't know a single trans+ person and so they fall for the falsehoods that are repeated in media and public discourse by those who seek to 'divide and rule'.

FYI What this means going forward I don’t know. A bunch of predominantly white, heteronormative, privileged UNELECTED men, with an average age of 71, behave like a bunch of white, heteronormative, privileged men with an average age of 71. There’s a flaw in this system somewhere…

@helenmaguiremp.bsky.social @cajardinemp.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk It seems there is to be a briefing in Parliament on 14 May from Trans+ legal experts. Please will you attend, and encourage attendance by others? There is a need for more MPs to be educated about being trans+.

Good to read about all that TransActual are doing to help protect trans people. The entire LGBTQ+ community and wider sectors of the UK population need to be engaged in order to reverse this erosion of trans people's rights, and undermining of civil liberties and human rights more generally.

Good to read that Carla Denyer is pushing government to spell out how they will guarantee trans people's rights in the wake of the Supreme Court judgment. We urgently need more MPs and public figures to do this. Trans rights are human rights; the erosion of these rights should concern us all.

Carla Denyer: EHRC’s trans guidance is a bigot’s charter that makes all women less safe

Worth reading again. My guess: although Kishwer Falkner is a simple hater her institution is under real pressure from Ministers who are waking up to what an awful cluster**** the Supreme Court and EHRC have delivered. Keep the pressure on your MP. share.google/jqCQhBEEmNCZ...
