“A rapidly expanding network of organisations campaigning against trans rights is shaping media coverage and political debate across the UK, while trans people are increasingly excluded from reporting about their own lives.” Powerful conservative groups orchestrate much of our transphobic politics.

Already seeing some terrible takes on here about supporting science re the puberty blocker trial. Science that is unethical & designed terribly, influenced by those who don't want us to exist, is never ever going to lead to useful outcomes. & this trial will cause immense harm to participants.

When any pupil goes to school, they should be able to do so safely, have appropriate toilets and changing rooms they can use, and be listened to and have their identity respected.

Fantastic from @sianberry.bsky.social! “I believe the proposed guidance from the EHRC is currently not fit for purpose, and not suitable to be placed before MPs at all.” Keep writing to your MPs, folk—it’s working! Template letter here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

UK Law 101 for trans people... Projecting already widely-published images of #Trump with Geoffrey #Epstein on Windsor Castle is "malicious communications" Advocating violence against trans women is not a "malicious communication". That British Sense Of Fair Play in action.

The UK in numbers this weekend: 425 arrests made for peacefully protesting against genocide. 0 arrests of those who support, fund, or commit genocide

This is important, imo. The draft code doesn't state that trans exclusion is mandatory. It just keeps saying trans exclusion is lawful while avoiding talking about inclusion as lawful. Stuff in the papers suggesting otherwise is mostly just trying to create a perception of a law that doesn't exist.

1990 – 2025: Marking 35 years since the siege at Kanehsatà:ke

Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police. Thank you, Wes Streeting.

Today, the EHRC are supposedly launching a consultation on their plans for trans segregation. To mark the occasion, I've been looking at my notes from 2009. As part of consultations for the Equality Bill, the EHRC held multiple meetings with all affected groups - including of course trans people.

Over 100,000 people are marching through The Hague against Israel's war on Gaza. Wearing red clothing and forming a line, they are demanding the government draw a red line in its stance against Israel. It's the largest protest in the Netherlands in 20 years.

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months. The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.
