Deviants and Trailblazers is now out! 🎉 If you're looking for a long-form, joined-up history of trans activism and trans rights in the UK going all the way back to the 1940s, this is it! D&T covers many events, groups, and people never before chronicled. www.plutobooks.com/product/devi...

As we await GANHRI’s accreditation report, we reveal the EHRC’s preposterous response to previous international criticism. tacc.org.uk/2026/05/25/e...

Section 28 came in about half a year before I started primary school and was repealed the year after my a-levels. I still knew I was gay and trans. One teacher told us as teenagers “I can’t tell you being gay is ok, it is ok but I’m not allowed to tell you that”. We have always had allies.

Highly recommend reading instead Jamie Hale's latest on this -as a trans wheelchair user: jamierhale.substack.com/p/ehrc-trans...

Anyway here’s the passage of Judith Butler that the Guardian censored years ago

"Our existence is not up for debate" We are still waiting for the protest to begin. The organisers have said that they may wait until 12:15 for more people to show up.

Hi, it's @nightkristina.bsky.social here, and I will be reporting on Trans Pride Falmouth this afternoon. Although the protest begins at 12:00, the protest organisers are already gathering at the Prince of Wales pier.

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".

The UK Government’s new Code of Practice offers cruelty, not clarity. Despite promises and spin to the contrary, this is a bathroom ban and a huge rollback for human rights in the UK. Read now: transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/05...

The Samaritans are calling out a 40% rise in suicidal Trans people using their services due to this Labour Government & their anti-Trans legislation. @andyburnham.bsky.social @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social Segregation kills. www.samaritans.org/news/samarit...

“The Government has failed so it is now up to Parliament to reject this document and instead create a legal framework with clear and equal rights for all, which protects trans people’s rightful place in society.” @sianberry.bsky.social greenparty.org.uk/2026/05/22/s...

I implore the Greens to throw everything you have at Makerfield because Andy Burnham has stated he will do nothing to overturn this callous, dangerous policy of Trans segregation.

UK's Labour party has implemented law that is worse than Idaho's which is killing Trans youth. Andy Burnham has said he stands by it. @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social @andyburnham.bsky.social

Dear Andy Burnham, - There is no fairness to segregation. - You can't exclude Trans people from public life with "compassion". - If you stand for this you stand for hate & bigotry.

Same day as us in Manchester, 12 noon at Peter Square. Let them know.

Wrote a letter to my MP, it’s probably not the most coherent thing in the world but I couldn’t not say anything.

This has now been added to our website. whatthetrans.com/compilation-...

"Call it out. Tell your friends. Write to your MPs and councillors. There will be protests – join them, we are going to." Our statement on the latest EHRC Code of Practice. lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2026/05/22/s...

History will remember you for nothing but your bigotry, as the architect of Labour's 'Bathroom Ban' and the minister who enforced the segregation of Trans & gender diverse people. I want my child to achieve and thrive. You are responsible for her segregation & exclusion. Shame.

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

When I did the maths a few years back, within a 3 year period there had been 5 articles about puberty blockers for every Trans adolescent who had ever received puberty blockers via the NHS.

There is no dignity in segregation.

The draft code doesn’t treat trans people with dignity and respect. Pretending it does is disgraceful.

The Labour government has just further emboldened the worst people on the planet to intimidate, harass and threaten any woman they see in a toilet who doesn't meet their weird standards of femininity. The most transphobic government the UK has ever had.

RESIST

The article also documents the wildly excessive data extraction that has become normalised in trans children's healthcare. Over-assessment is harmful and abusive, and has no place in ethical healthcare. Please read and share. 3/3

It dives into the harms of using outdated measures in trans children's healthcare. It identifies a range of measurement tools that are inappropriate and unethical. Pathologising tools should have no place in modern healthcare 2/3

Terrible timing, but I have a new (co-authored, including with @notrightruth.bsky.social) article out today. "Pathologising Legacy Measures and over-assessment". www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Very short thread 1/3

I've have not seen any analysis of the impact of Trans children & young people. Specifically upon the facilities which schools will mandate Trans pupils to use, & the impact on how Trans children & young people engage in out of school clubs & activities. In my lay read it is utterly devestating.

Today @drjogrady.bsky.social wrote to the University of Reading. Trans staff and students are being forced into formal grievances just to find out why policies that affect their daily lives exist. That is not legal compliance. It is institutional opacity. We’re calling on Reading to act.

🧵 In #Czechia, a historic Constitutional Court ruling led to new guidelines for legal gender recognition. We spoke with our member organisation @transparentcz.bsky.social and asked them about the impact of the change. Your rights. Your country. Get the legal info you need: transrightsmap.tgeu.org

Anyway, the article, for what it is worth, is here: growinguptransgender.com/2024/01/30/t...

At this point the editorial board stepped in and unilaterally rejected it. After peer review. The feedback was that it presented ONLY a gender affirmative perspective. This, they said, was bias.

Please share! Call for research participants! Are you non-binary, aged 18+ and living in the UK? Would you be willing to spend 30 minutes on a survey on your experiences of family? qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_...

We’ve filed a complaint on a parliamentary briefing on conversion practices. It over-represents gender-critical groups and excludes trans voices entirely. This briefing needs urgent review and correction. tacc.org.uk/2026/04/29/c...

Reupping my video showing that conversion therapy in the UK is mainly caused by about 40 people who simply will not piss off and are ruining the NHS for the rest of us youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

Sorry, you're telling me that Kathleen Stock LIED to the Office for Students?!? And the OFS based their decision to fine the University of Sussex half a million pounds in part on that lie!? I am shocked! Shocked I tell you! I never could have predicted such a thing might come to pass!

8. The stuff that Stock complains was silenced was actually on the reading list. You couldn’t make this up:

R (Sussex) v OfS and FDU (2026) 1. The judgement: www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

We have written follow-up to the BBC addressing their 'biological sex' framing of trans folk in their reporting, and their continued claim that 'clarity' is needed. We will not stop the pressure; they will be held accountable.

Do you know any UK non-binary adults who are not on social media? Would you consider sharing info on this new research study on non-binary experiences of family support with them? I'd love to reach a wider sample of those who aren't on here. Thank you!

"The loss of every single one of those young lives is an appalling tragedy" - @jolyon.goodlawproject.org Our new investigation with @goodlawproject.org shows Trans people are dying of suicide more than the general UK population 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/trans-people...

Call for research participants! Are you non-binary, aged 18+ and living in the UK? Would you be willing to spend 30 minutes on a survey on your experiences of family? qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_... Please share! I am a researcher on this project - A short thread to follow. 1/14

Would be grateful for any non-binary folks from the UK filling in some new research on non-binary experiences of family support. Many thanks!

I hear the other Porsche driving transsexual has been saying silly things today so I figured I'd pop on to say that life is actually great & that, despite the waft spoken by people who don't know what they're talking about, trans people are smashing, worthwhile & regularly succeed in their goals

My book is out now!! Jacob’s Transition Goals is a positive, hopeful story about an 8 year old transgender boy who loves football. In today’s political climate, trans joy is so needed - you should grab a copy! You can buy Jacob’s Transition Goals in LGBTQ+ bookshops and online all over the world
