Happy Pride Month 🌈 I’m delighted to share that Queers Know Your Rights will be published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers of Hachette Book Group in Autumn 2027. #PrideMonth #LGBTQRights #QueersKnowYourRights #JessicaKingsleyPublishers #Hachette #CAA 🌈📚⚖️

Can you create a “women + trans women only” space and not rely on the Equality Act’s single-sex exemptions to remain trans inclusive? #EqualityAct #EHRC #TransRights #LGBTQ #HumanRights

“Is it actually ‘illegal’ for a trans person to use a different toilet from their birth sex?” #transrights #equalityact #nonbinary #lgbtqrights #ehrcguidance

A light in the darkness - EHRC draft Code says WI amd Girl Guides CAN lawfully choose to admit trans women / girls. Since the FWS Supreme Court judgment, we have seen multiple attempts to ban trans women and girls from womens clubs and association. The most prominent have been the WI and the GG.

The EHRC’s own Equality Impact Assessment admits this guidance is likely to have NEGATIVE impacts on trans people. That matters. Because the Supreme Court itself said its interpretation of the Equality Act would not disadvantage trans people... #transrights #equalityact #ehrc #lgbtq #humanrights

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. Still true. Still worth saying (or singing!) loudly. 🏳️‍⚧️ ⚧️ ⚖️ #transrights #humanrights #ehrcguidance #TransRightsAreHumanRights #lgbtq

Today with Robyn Newark at 5pm over on Instagram @nonbinarybarrister. Come with your hardest questions! #ehrcguidance

The EHRC guidance has just dropped. Here are 7 important things people need to know…   Solidarity to everyone today, and let’s hope we can get through this with dignity and respect to ALL.   #ehcrguidance #humanrights #dignity #respect #exclusion

Problem is what the government calls respect and dignity and what the reality on the ground is like will be markedly different.

we're not people, we're trans activists

Thanks to ITV for this platform to speak on ideally what the EHRC guidance will look like. This post will probably age fast but oh well! Please brace yourselves as the EHRC guidance may not make for pleasant reading. #ehrcguidance #ehrc #humanrights #itv #transrights

“Social media is a strange game, one which always comes with a degeee of risk” Thanks to Eliza Winter at Legal Business for this interview where we discuss the cost of visibility in a digital world and the sound of silence. #legalprofessionals #barrister #socialmedia #digitallandscape

not sure why people are trying to "Streisand effect" that WaPo YouTube video into existence. but if you're looking for an actual YouTube video with a significant number of views that WaPo & other mainstream outlets would never publish, please consider sharing this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZymY...

For four consecutive years from 2011 to 2015 the UK was ranked number one in the ILGA Rainbow Map until our country was consumed by the far right culture war against trans and non-binary people. The 2025 report ranks the UK as the lowest in Western Europe.

It’s mental health awareness week! In this clip we talk about exercise, different methods, and unexpected benefits they can have on your life and work. Comment below with your best tips! 🏃‍♀️🏊 💃🏻 🧘 🏄 #mentalhealth #awareness #exercise #sport #fitness

“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…” This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.

🚨There are just two days left to respond to the consultation on Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026. If passed as it is, this guidance risks causing significant harm to trans and non binary students in schools and colleges. You can respond here: tinyurl.com/38uc2rdv. Please share for reach.

APOLOGY. One year on from For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers, I am truly sorry for the impact this has had on trans lives. This is my personal view. I am not speaking on behalf of the legal profession or any other lawyers. #transrights #uklaw #equalityact #lawtok #humanrights

Thank you to Trans in the City, Bobbi Pickard and team for this great awards evening. Was a pleasure to be considered a Changemaker for this year alongside @translegalclinic’s @oliviacampbellcavendish, pictured. ✨🧚💘 #transrights #humanrights #transinthecity #tooglamtogiveadamn #newrocks

If free speech matters, the right to protest has to matter. Free speech protects expression from unlawful state restriction. It does not guarantee applause or immunity from criticism. The right to protest is protected too. #FreeSpeech #RightToProtest #Article10 #Article11 #UKLaw

New EHRC guidance is coming in May. There are signs it may be improved. But the impact of the last year? 
That doesn’t just reset. Now the focus is on what comes next —
and whether it actually works in practice. #EHRC #EqualityAct #UKLaw #TransRights #LegalExplainer

TW: sexual assault. If women’s safety matters, evidence has to matter. #ViolenceAgainstWomen #WomenSafety #HumanRightsLaw #EqualityAct2010 #TransRights #PublicHealthApproach #AccessToJustice #StructuralInequality #UKLaw

⏳ 25 DAYS LEFT… Conversion practices remain legal. Harm continues. If this matters to you, now is the time to pay attention, speak up, write to your MP and apply pressure. Template to write to MP in @nonbinarybarrister insta bio. #BanConversionPractices #LGBTQrights #lawtok #humanrights #uklaw

Many thanks to Trans in the City for naming me as a 2026 Changemaker listed in the Financial Times. A big thank you to the whole team, who work tirelessly for the inclusion, visibility, and equality of the trans community. #changemakers #transinthecity #transrights

The International Olympic Committee has just said it will start genetic testing women athletes…! Genetic testing of women’s bodies. Let that sink in. This isn’t just about trans women. 
It’s about who gets to define womanhood at all. #transrights #womensrights #equality #olympics #humanrights

When people say “the law must reflect reality”, it sounds self-evident. But law does not simply discover reality. It constructs standards - like the “reasonable person” - through which behaviour is #LegalTheory #RuleOfLaw #EqualityAct2010 #UKLaw

Same issue. Different legal answers. EU law → recognition in practice UK law → meaning of “sex” in statute And in NI? Both can matter. #UKLaw #EULaw #HumanRights

Nominated as ‘LGBTQ+ Champion of the Year’ for the Legal 500 ESG Awards 2026 🥹 So many late nights making videos no one asked for…
but you all kept watching 🫶 Thank you for being here, genuinely 🤍 #lgbtq #lawtok #softpower #equality #esg #inclusion

Everything is about perspective. We’re trained to think we’re right. 
But what if that’s the very thing stopping us from understanding, and empathising with, others? #neurodiversity #neurodiversitycelebrationweek #disabilityrights #lawtok #inclusionmatters photo: Greta Graff

Barrister with ADHD ⚖️🧠✨ This is what working effectively actually looks like for me. Hour of power. Body doubling. Systems over memory. Different approach — same (or better) results. #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek #ADHDLawyer #Neurodivergent #LawTokUK #EqualityAct2010

It’s neurodiversity awareness week so I thought I would publish a confession. Maybe it’s time we start retiring some of these? #LanguageMatters #DisabilityRights #Ableism #InclusiveLanguage #Neurodiversity

The UK has fallen from 1st to 22nd within Europe, on LGBTQ-focused protective legislature. It's narrowly ahead of Albania - a Muslim country - and dead last in western Europe. This is owing to a surge in anti-LGBTQ sentiment that needs FAR more attention than you or your party have given it.

Where is the line between lawful speech and hate speech? The real question isn’t “Do I agree with this?” It’s “Does this meet the legal test?” Let’s talk about it 👇 #UKLaw #FreedomOfExpression #HateSpeech #HumanRights #Article10

EXCLUSIVE: EHRC IN QUESTION ⚠️ The UK’s human rights watchdog - the EHRC - is now under UN review, following a submission by the Lemkin Institute and the Trans Exile Network This is about independence. This is about standards. This is about protection. #HumanRights #UN #TransRights #EHRC #lemkin

AS MUCH AS THEY RESIST WE EXIST “Our foundation is human, not sex” - Dominique Jackson From shoot for @ivyandnormanton.bsky.social at QE London #transrights #humanrights #barrister

Do you actually know your biological s3x? Have you ever had it tested? We assume we know. The law assumes we know. But what does it actually mean? Watch this ⚖️ #legaleducation #transrights #nonbinary
