Attacks on the trans community are relentless atm, from the Cass Scandel, the PB ban, CPS guidance and now this: www.gov.uk/government/p... Going to the EHRC for advice, that will probably end with the Equalities Act being changed to biological sex, rendering GRCs pointless.

In our latest interview with bsky.app/profile/caly... we dive into how vocal surgery can influence the everyday victories. These simple actions, often taken for granted by cis people, are daily struggles for trans individuals. It’s the small things that make a huge impact. If you know, you know.

Day 3 of #TransGenderAwarenessWeek and for tonight's movie we picked John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask’s film version of their Off-Broadway smash Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Described as a bouncy, energetic, dynamic and loopily fun confectionary treat of rock’n’roll and gender dysphoria.

Last night we watched Emilia Perez on @netflix. Quite a fitting start to #transgenderawarenessweek It's a swaggering musical crime thriller of genre-bending fascination that is also an unapologetically trans story, I've no idea how they crammed so much into one movie.

So which social media platform should I nail my colours to now that we are all leaving Twitter? Bluesky or Threads? Haven't really used either very much. Early indication was that Threads seems decent, but word on the street says bluesky is the place to be 🤷🏻‍♀️

Where we're going, we don't need roads. Happy Back to the Future Day! We're off to see BTTF2 at the cinema tonight to celebrate its 35th anniversary, and yes, we will be wearing our 1950s dresses. #BackToTheFuture #BackToTheFutureDay
