Night night sweet dreamies 🧡 Don’t let the noise of other people’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. There is no shame in asking for help. Even the tiniest meow can be heard by someone who cares.

This myth is literally written into the Cass Report on healthcare for trans youth, a field which is in the UK now entirely driven by pseudoscience and is entirely hostile to trans existence

Again, the people saying this stuff may be "influential figures on the right" but what they really are is racists and in some cases Nazis. It's not your job as a public service broadcaster to both sides Nazism

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. Will you join over 106,000 women and add your name to the list? https://notinourname.org.uk/petition/not-in-our-name-women-in-support-of-the-trans-community/

As some of you may know, I have been living with metastatic #prostatecancer for the last six years. I am taking part in Prostate cancer UK's fundraising "March for Men" next weekend to thank them for their help and to help other men. Could you support me? www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

The scale of it is stunning. www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/new-u...

Dear lord. If you know anything at all about scientists and scientific conferences, this is wild.

Critical information for our troubled times.

Dear BBC journalists, you really do not have to 'debate' every far-right talking point that pops up on your X feed. It is not "deeply contentious" to suggest non-white people can't be English. It's racist. The word you're looking for is racist

"Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving."

FYI - Stephenson Chair of EHRC appears at Women & Equalities Committee, Tuesday 9th June starting at 2:30pm. Along with Falkner’s right hand man John Kirkpatrick, CEO EHRC Link to meeting on Parliament TV: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

This is good news, and it matters beyond the ponds themselves. It's a reminder that, as others have said, the horrifying rollback of trans rights in the UK over the last year and change has happened wholly without a democratic mandate. When the people get a say, they demand inclusion.

Bridget Phillipson’s transphobic EHRC guidance as it is currently configured, will mean a lot of trans women dying because they will not be allowed to get breast cancer screening. Labour’s transphobic policies are literally trying to kill trans women.

There are almost no crustaceans in the deep ocean. Not because they would get crushed, but because they would DISSOLVE. The cold & high pressure cause changes to water that make it very corrosive to calcium carbonate shells. But there's one crustacean who solves this problem with ALUMINUM ARMOR.

This is not going to fit in the “how did the accident occur” box.

Yay 😊, Hampstead Heath’s Bathing Ponds to remain trans inclusive. “We have continued to listen and take detailed legal advice throughout this process. The approach agreed today protects the character and unique spirit of the Ponds while ensuring they remain welcoming to all.” – Chris Hayward

📢 "Your voice is needed." UNISON general secretary @AndreaEganGS.bsky.social is calling on members and trans allies to oppose the EHRC guidance. MPs will decide on it in the next 30 days. Tell us why it's unworkable in your workplace. 📩 [email protected]

This year, Pride is more protest than party. Today I again raised my concerns - if these questions and others are not answered adequately by the chair of the EHRC when she comes before @commonswec.parliament.uk next week, I will be signing the fatal motion on the code of practice.

There is an early day motion opposing the EHRC statutory guidance being accepted, it has been submitted in such way to minimise Parliamentary scrutiny. Please consider requesting your MP to oppose it.

Nottingham Against Transphobia want to hear what you have to say about the latest EHRC guidance. We urge you to come and speak at our protest at the Brian Clough statue this Sunday, the 7th of June. Nobody should face this depressing news alone. join us and speak, make yourselves known.

Hannah Spencer wrote to the MP and Bridgett Philipson about the EHRC Guidance and its a great letter www.instagram.com/p/DZKYZKgihy... I've added alt text to the images and will post a screenshot of the post and its text in the replies! Good work @greenpartyhan.bsky.social we 💕 the feminist greens

This is an excellent bit of comms . Really pleased to see this, hits all the right notes.

This ruling makes it harder for disabled individuals to be able to escape situations of deprivation of liberty. It means many more will be trapped in unsuitable, potentially harmful, situations. 2/ www.mentalcapacitylawandpolicy.org.uk/supreme-cour...

Govt has published their updated guidance following the Supreme Court judgment. As I have set out before, this new code will still lead to confusion for businesses & contains multiple legal contradictions which will see some of the worse elements of transphobia continue being aided and abetted 1/7

The BMA has voiced its concerns about Labour’s Transphobic Toilet Ban.

Quietly, quietly, the UK Supreme Court is embarked on a rollback of the human rights and judicial protections of vulnerable minorities which looks every bit as stark as that of the US Supreme Court.

FYI anyone using Microsoft Office 2019 for Mac 2019, Mac specific version. Note up to date Microsoft Office 2021 for Mac should be ok in this regard, but Microsoft will stop supporting / issuing updates for it on 13th Oct 2026. You might want to start looking at free alternatives like LibreOffice.

I’m doing a film on trans peoples lives, about us by us and made by us.. I’m looking for people to interview and film that would wish to get involved. Here’s something from the weekends protest in Sheffield. youtu.be/b3oMGH_M2-w?...

What good is signing up to an on-line petition? What can it achieve? Well, in this case quite a lot. This petition is being promoted by ‘Translucent’ the trans rights organisation after discussion with other trans-supportive organisations. translucent-org-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/transluc...

@elliechowns.bsky.social and @adrianramsay.bsky.social have a clear choice: Sign this motion rejecting Labour's anti-trans-human-rights Code of Practice, stand with Trans+ people, and reject the government's segregation agenda Or refuse and signal support for inhumane and discriminatory policy

Happy Pride Month. I will not stand for anyone being excluded from participating in public life because there aren’t facilities they can safely use. Not now, not ever.

Offered without comment

It’s not a choice to be LGBTQ, it is a choice to be a transphobic, homophobic & biphobic failure as a human being. History will remember them as being reprehensible individuals who persecuted LGBTQ ppl.

Happy #Pride Everyone 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🙏 Except of course to #Labour and Lloyds Banking Group, who can both do one (as the English say) 🤬

References to Palantir have been redacted from the Mandelson files on the grounds that they would be "prejudicial to UK national security or international relations"

Leaving the ECHR, will weaken protections for all in society. That’s the end goal. Then they will usher in freeports, SEZ’s, data centres, zero hours contracts, no employment protections, state surveillance. All in the name of protecting us. When we already have protections…

YOUR signature on the linked petition is a vital brick in the wall of reconstructing trans people’s rights in the U.K. It will take only moments and is worth so much. translucent-org-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/transluc...

I’ve just cancelled my @cyclinguk.bsky.social membership which was due for renewal, it’s an organisation I trusted to be inclusive, but after their exclusion of Trans women from Top 100 women I can no longer support them. Rather than excluding Trans people they should consult @goodlawproject.org
