Seeing so many sports proudly proclaim their inclusion for LGBTQIA+ as Pride month starts is sickening knowing the exclusion branded upon trans people in nearly all (chess, FFS, chess!!) let alone the homophobia that still exists in many. That goes for the sports I happen to like and play too.

As much as it may be possible in these dark times, there is some comfort in knowing that allies are out there, as far as I know the BMA have shown strong support and bring professionalism to bear

A worthwhile watch to help understand the erosion of rights going on here

Writing to your MP may have an influence, hope whilst there's still hope, and you don't have to stick to the template.

May I not so politely suggest that this Labour government can yeet itself into the sun? Its transphobic policies, just as its xenophobic ones have, lead to vigilantism and harassment. Trans individuals are already discriminated against and this government is endorsing that.

Another example of let's rewrite history "Attacks on the exclusionary nature of such spaces by the trans rights movement are a key reason why gender-critical feminism exists" web.archive.org/web/20260601...

#GPEW abandoned trans people in the Commons today. My advice to trans folk and allies is to abandon GPEW in turn. If you're inclined to even follow politics any more, maybe look again at the LibDems who've been decent recently. I don't know. I'm so tired.

Seema Malhotra: "Most people have the common sense to step in when necessary, for example when a person of the opposite biological sex enters a single sex facility in error - and when to alert a member of staff." Labour now in the 'lets encourage vigilantes' stage of screwing trans people.

Trans people already experience a very high level of physical assault. For Seema Malhotra to actively encourage vigilante action against trans people is one of the most disgusting things I have ever heard a Labour MP come out with - and it has a LOT of competition.

The Centre for Mental Health has issued a warning over the new EHRC guidelines: “We believe [the code] will likely have an impact on their mental health and may make trans and non-binary people seeking support for mental distress or mental illness feel unsafe and unsupported” https://bit.ly/4u7VsJ9

Over 80 clinicians, researchers and academics have signed an open letter raising serious concerns about NHS England’s recent evidence reviews of gender affirming hormone treatment for trans youth. Read the full letter here: transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/05...

Great work by @translucent.org.uk www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/tra...

We're complaining to the Charity Commission about Sex Matters describing women who are trans using women's spaces as "deviants". The language is unacceptable (and the statement is wrong in law). We're looking for other examples of it (staff or Trustees) using inflammatory language. Share below?

"Forty-nine votes were cast against the new rules, whilst only one vote was cast in their favour", yet still they went ahead with the ban. Clearly, women's opinions do not count!

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

As we look poised to 'follow the clamour' and (try and) ban social media for under 16s remember 42 child protection charities and online safety groups, alongside academics and bereaved families want us to 'follow the evidence' instead. mollyrosefoundation.org/childrens-an...

I don’t think enough cis women appreciate how much all of this noise around ‘bathroom bans’ will affect us. (I also think it’s notable that after a chat between me, a cis woman and Steph, a trans woman, a correspondent text in to ask ‘why wasn’t there a woman in the conversation, for balance?’)

You'll need to go for a long walk to calm down after you read how the UK got to here on trans rights. If you're only ever going to read one piece on trans people, this would be the one.

So does a toilet with a picture of someone in a skirt define it as a single sex space? I'm thinking that would be a very poor call if so, but then the new guidance from the EHRC is full of very poor calls.

Last week, the Minister for Women and Equalities submitted to Parliament an updated Code of Practice to the Equality Act, following last year’s Supreme Court ruling. NION Women stand firmly for trans inclusion. Read our full statement here: notinourname.org.uk/targeting-tr... #NotInOurName

Burnham saying anything to appeal? Burnham will do anything to capture that populist vote? Good grief, please give us someone who isn't just in it for the power grab. web.archive.org/web/20260520...

Reminder that those worst affected by our dismal immigration policies are all too often children, something which the government would prefer you to forget

Bigotry should never be a "protected belief"

In her final years, Sinéad O'Connor donated her old clothes and unused makeup to Irish trans teens as she wanted them to enjoy expressing their gender identities. Sinéad never punched down, stood firm in her beliefs, and will always be loved by the people of Ireland. Ms Terphy is nothing of the sort

With Josh Simons standing aside it would seem evident that talk of a deal between Streeting and Burnham has credence. Not sure where that should leave anyone supporting Burnham if Streeting is part of the deal..

As Starmer should sack Streeting immediately if he's planning a leadership bid as supporters claim, then either Streeting is not, or he wasn't truthful in their morning meeting It may be politics, but it's also just plain lying on the eve of a leadership bid where integrity is supposed to be valued

Wes Streeting is an extremist. This is like the Home Secretary meeting with the BNP, Britain First, Patriotic Alternative, Eugenicists for a White Christ, and whatever else “to discuss citizenship issues” He should be nowhere near power.

The wheels are slowly turning and if the momentum picks up further with MPs maybe everything will truly come off the rails when Streeting makes his pitch. Anyone but Streeting, good grief anything but Streeting

We were told our data would stay under NHS control. But an internal document just revealed the truth: Palantir staff are being granted “unlimited access”. Join us demanding this spy-tech firm gets out of our NHS 👇 goodlaw.social/658abc

In the same election the ranks of MSPs who voted against GRR were turfed out of office - among their replacements were two new trans MSPs. The politics of hate took a kicking today. The politics of trans liberation brought two of their own into the seats of power in Scotland! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Time to speak about meeting Streeting. The 24 page response I sent back to the DoH, including 55 questions, is on my blog. It says it’s a 40 minute read…I don’t think it’s that long. Anyway, it’s there for reference if you’re interested. Ask your questions. Article by @wearequeeraf.com out now.

Can someone explain to me why we shouldn't police incitement to hatred against some groups but we should against others?

I've just been made aware of this new website - hate-matters.org - It is absolutely bloody genius!!! 😆 Bravo @hate-matters.org for giving us a laugh in a transphobic world turning to sh*t! We all know who you're talking about! If I ever find out who you are - I'll buy you a drink (or three!) 🍺🥂🍸

⚠️ ACTION THIS DAY 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/fix-... Please share widely with friends, colleagues and fmily.

Well done Scope for calling out terf Janet Murray and refusing to continue to give her choir a place web.archive.org/web/20260425...

'Better for more young trans people to die than us admit our policy choices are killing them": this now seems to be Labour's position. I'm sorry we have to write about this stuff. But unless we do, nothing will change. CW: suicide.

For those of you still cross-posting on Twitter, chances are Katy just gave up a bigger platform than you have, built on more work and sacrifice. If she can do it, so can you. Perform an act of self care today and delete your X "the app for horrible bastards" profile.

Wow imagine what Esse House UK could do with this kind of money It already provides accessibility keys for free, camping trips, subsidised voice coaching, advocacy, and is moving towards providing community housing too, for significantly less than 1% of what SeXmatters has raised essehouse.co.uk

It really doesn't take much to be reasonable as ably demonstrated by Zack here. Why can't other politicians use their platforms to be reasonable too?

Anti-rights movements won't stop with trans people. The Alliance Defending Freedom campaign against abortion rights, gay marriage, and anti-discrimination laws. Now they are openly backing a case against Parkrun for including trans participants. www.independent.co.uk/sport/great-...

It is extraordinary how Sex Matters will happily trample everybody's civil rights to achieve their agenda. Not a care in the world for anyone, the pursuit of transgender eradication may be their 1st goal, yet they readily reveal anyone not fitting their narrow minded sexist view of the world is next

Who'd have thought that these people would try and reach out and find an understanding of the actual needs of their fellow humans. Oh, they didn't. They probably don't even have the capacity for understanding others needs

Oh dear, another victory for money buying out the decision makers over common sense. I can understand political parties want money to sell their policies, but at what cost? Showing you'd sell your soul to the highest bidder is not a good look for integrity.

Notable that the 4 countries he expresses concern about the human rights of trans people are Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovak Republic and the UK.

Don't just bitch on Social Media, actually make a complaint to them

We have written to Kezia Dugdale, the new Chair of Stonewall. Addressing the major concerns we have with her comments in her interview.

From a different social media platform: Stonewall quietly changed its definition of transphobia last year to help allow the government to pursue its Wraparound Conversion Therapy policy. The reason Dugdale has been appointed is to launder its *faux* Conversion Therapy ban. Quislings…?

Principles and redress actually demonstrated. Gotta give praise where it's due
