How does this work? I don’t see how changing whether having a GRC changes your sex under the EqA could possibly apply here. Children can’t get a GRC. Ergo nothing has changed post SC ruling.

Get fucked BBC- those are not “women’s rights campaigners” the councillors are protesting, they are bigoted scum. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Correcting the statement put out today by the EHRC, TACC has published the following statement. tacc.org.uk/2025/11/07/s...

“That is what makes it so morally bewildering to me that these culture war clowns are supposed to be a bastion of women’s rights. While they try to strip the dignity from a marginalised minority, frontline women’s services are on the verge of collapse.” 👉 archive.ph/ivFo2

HRT is available over the counter in Portugal. Ryanair have flights for 15 quid this time of year. You’re welcome.

🏊‍♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision. In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019. Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts. 1/5

Fun fact: The ECU actually used the phrase “trans identity”, not “trans ideology”, and, in editing that quote, this BBC article about a presenter expressing anti-trans views breaching editorial guidelines has itself breached editorial guidelines. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We have been tracking people’s experiences with gendered spaces and our new report looks at the impact of the 2025 EHRC interim update on access to, and experiences within, gendered spaces in the UK.

While queueing for my coffee this morning, the barista was serving the person ahead of me and had two sauces for their bap. After determining which the customer wanted, the barista turned and threw the other packet *half way* across the shop to land perfectly on the correct pile of packets.

84% of trans people polled by YouGov said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people. A terrifying story - founded on actual data - which the BBC still refused to carry. Link to polling in the blog. goodlawproject.org/abject-terro...

Like many others, I am disappointed and angry about the decision by @cyclinguk.bsky.social to change the eligibility criteria for Women in Cycling 2025 to exclude trans women. Trans women are women 🏳️‍⚧️ I have requested for my name and face to be removed. www.cyclingweekly.com/news/do-we-n...

Guess that was another of those sleepless worrying nights, then. The state of all of this. *gestures*

Read this first-of-its-kind report on trans fertility by London Women’s Clinic The findings highlight the different ways trans+ people in the UK are successfully using a wide spectrum of assisted reproduction options diva-magazine.com/2025/11/05/r...

Here’s my open letter to the EHRC.

I cannot express how much there is nothing Labour could do any more to win my vote.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Perhaps a good future requirement for candidates as Supreme Court judges should be basic reading comprehension.

Don’t you just love finding out that the person who is teaching the first half of your year-long module is using the wrong syllabus, so has prepared material you were meant to be covering next Semester and you spent multiple weeks writing 40+ pages of lecture notes for last summer.

Being a Madeleine is all about timing.

Last week I met @breastcancernow.bsky.social in parliament to celebrate #WearItPink. Shocked to learn the NHS does not collect detailed data on people with incurable breast cancer. Without that data how can they assess what treatments and support work best? I'll be writing to Minister about this

“Why should trans people build their lives in a country which continues to demonstrate its hostility? Unless the government takes urgent action, the threat won’t just be to trans people’s human rights, but also to our economy as we make life harder for business, and drive talent away.”

Cis people don’t have any automatic ordained right to insist that they set the parameters of our existence, and the level to which we can participate in public life. We are quite simply a legitimate category of human experience - we are *never* going away. So might be time to start accepting that.

Call me an elitist, but I broadly believe those writing editorials for our newspaper of record should have to read and at least mostly understand legal judgments before providing commentary on how 'clear' such judgments are.

The EHRC's position "leaves businesses and their staff caught in the crossfire of the increasingly bitter gender wars, while doing absolutely nothing to advance women’s rights or protect vulnerable women from abuse": Rachel Taylor MP. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

However all this shows is Labour *possibly* stopping short of full Trump/Reform style trans exterminatory policy. They still passed a trans Section 28 in schools, authorized trans humiliation in court/prison, and made the NHS for trans kids a state mandated conversion practice; barely better for 18+

Further, @racheltaylormp.bsky.social really deserves credit for sticking her head above the parapet. As a cis woman on the W&E committee from the Starmer intake, her voice means a great deal. Broader party issues notwithstanding (see below), this is what an ally does!

An extraordinary riposte from @racheltaylormp.bsky.social to the transphobia of the EHRC. Labour will spend decades atoning for how it utterly betrayed LGBT+ people, not least because Ms Taylor shows here how *very easy* it is to defend us when you bother to try. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

This just makes no sense. They were operating legally. What grounds are there to interfere with that, breach privacy laws and withhold healthcare?

This Christmas, give a gift that can change lives. ✨ Across the UK, thousands of trans+ people face years-long waitlists and barriers to the care they need. We’re asking you to donate to our Christmas fundraiser. Even £5 can make a difference. anne.health/christmas/ #CareForXmas

“Ride now! Ride! Ride to ruin and the world's ending!”

There’s stylized graphics and then there’s significant disrespect to two historic ports.

Blocking the guidance from being laid has been the top priority - once that ship has sailed it’s far harder to row back. But if we don’t change the law I fear GC funded case law will further entrench what the EHRC want anyway. The Sandie Peggie stuff is all part of that

There’s a very good chance that we will have a Labour leadership contest in the next year, before any statutory guidance is finalised. We need to move the political conversation on, so that by the time the leadership contest happens it’s change the law vs not rather than just pro/anti guidance

I don’t know what the trans org groups are thinking, but I do think from a strategic standpoint it’s time to start pushing high profile political allies to put forward the argument to amend the Equality Act and clear up the SC mess.

Words fail to be honest. The way politics has been used to withdraw necessary and potentially life-saving healthcare is a crime.

News in that children are now being prescribed weight loss jabs on the NHS. @wesstreetingmp.bsky.social Where are the trials for the use of these experimental drugs in children? How do you know it’s safe? 📢 SHOW US THE EVIDENCE 📢 All so utterly predictable and fucked up. Here we go again ✍️

Sometimes you see posts that say in one sentence what you rambled on about over long threads... 😅

The guidance hasn't been tabled yet because it is legally unsound and practically impossible. It seems to be the unspoken understanding for everyone who isn't in the pay of the bigots that there is no way out of this mess short of addressing the - now broken - Equality Act. /1

🏳️‍⚧️ It’s Trans Awareness Month. This is a time to listen, learn, and lift up trans voices. Trans people face growing barriers to healthcare, legal recognition & safety. Their stories are told about them, not with them. Media headlines debate their existence, politicians use their lives to win points

glamour uk have made trans women their ‘women of the year’. this really highlights how transphobes have lost the ‘culture war’ and are wholly reliant on bigoted politicians like @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social and wes streeting they wouldn’t do this if they were worried about it losing them readers:

👻 This Halloween, while the media is intent on whipping up fear of a tiny group of trans+ people trying to live their lives - we're saying 'Not in our name!' If you agree and want to see the focus move back on to the real challenges all women face, sign our letter here: notinourname.org.uk

We are already helping several employees sue employers for enforcing the EHRC Interim Guidance, which *we think* is unlawful. Should the High Court agree, we plan to make available in generic form, for free, and in a usable state, all the legal materials a trans employee needs to sue their employer.

TLC AND FRIENDS DISRUPT CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE Here's our statement: Today we disrupted the University IVs Regatta races, preventing most of the boats from competing. By putting out an inflatable boat into the water for the duration of the racing afternoon, we left rowers unable to race.

Important. @transactualuk.bsky.social have released a new report about the harm caused by the Supreme Court misjudgement & the EHRC's interpretation of it. It shows how the ruling & interpretation is also harming cis women. Those it was supposed to "protect". transactual.org.uk/wp-content/u...

This is genuinely appalling. How can anyone have a fair trial if they are forced to sit through repeated abuse from the opposing side? There are literally neutral options for people who are generally too bigoted or idiotic to realize the pronouns are not attached to chromosomes.
