Statement on the Anti-Trans and Anti-Intersex EHRC Code of Practice in the United Kingdom

I’ve been researching the myriad triggers of travel anxiety, inspired by my own experience of Generalised Anxiety Disorder. These are my favourite tips.

Logging off for the night, but a request: UK people, I'm performing with my incredible colleague ILĀ this Saturday as part of a beautiful group of (half of us trans) singers - can you help us spread the word? Immersive, improvised soundbath practice - it's truly stunning: dice.fm/event/nvdwo5...

The pioneering composer Dominique Phinot was beheaded in 1566 for his sexuality 🏳️‍🌈 Hear his music, as well as other masterpieces from the Renaissance to the present day, in our concert at Southwark Cathedral this Saturday, 6 June. www.tickettailor.com/events/thefo... #prideinlondon #pride2026

Found some notes from a careers session I attended during my MSc (2012/13). Plus ça change.

If you're trans and work for a sizable UK company or organisation, now is a great time to log into your HR portal and remove any information you can on your sex/gender, e.g. by replacing any information with "prefer not to say".

Is radiation really changing Chornobyl’s dogs? It’s a great story, but not supported by evidence.

This is so, so well-articulated.

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”
