Working at the EHRC was one of the most challenging and unpleasant jobs I have held (except for some excellent colleagues). @iandunt.bsky.social's piece really highlights the wider implications of it's capture by the state and what it means to those it is meant to defend

Evil How can anyone watch an authoritarian, anti-science state take healthcare away from innocent children and think this is ok

Anti-trans hate groups like to push the myth that trans people see genital preferences as inherently transphobic, but that just isn’t true. Most trans people understand that attraction is personal and nuanced, and that includes a preference for what is in your pants

I just got a Liberation bath bomb from Lush! “Standing up for trans rights, celebrating trans lives”. 75% of sales price (minus tax) is donated to My Genderation & @transactualuk.bsky.social too! www.lush.com/uk/en/p/libe... 🏳️‍⚧️ #TransRightsAreHumanRights #PrideMonth

Everyone always talks ABOUT trans kids, but they never talk TO trans kids I interviewed Trans Kids Deserve Better. These kids are so brave. Check it out! youtu.be/lQ-C4WqBf30

Umm, not really sure how to tell you this, but...

Today, the European Court of Human Rights has published a key judgment: T. H. v. the Czech Republic. The decision brings yet another major shift in the rights of transgender and non-binary people in the Czech Republic. The Court unanimously ruled that making the change of personal identification /1

Protest in reading tommorow

the funniest thing to me about the whole "bluesky is an echochamber" thing is that when me and my friends moved here a good chunk of our audiences came with us. idk why your audiences aren't doing the same but i'm not sure why that's anyone else's problem but your own

For anyone to claim the EHRC is independent is farcical when Kemi Badenoch admitted she ensured the right people were in place and Falkner confirmed yesterday they changed the board to pursue this "course correction".

The Chair of the EHRC, Baroness Falkner, just claimed in Parliament that Article 8 of the Human Rights Act doesn’t apply to trans people and falsely said the Supreme Court agrees. MPs must speak out. Email your MP now using this template: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Stolen from Reddit, but too good not to read as it’s so accurate

If you were wondering why my trans pride fern pins are a little more expensive, this is why. The frond itself is fully 3d and the stalk wraps around at the top, allowing it to be worn on a chain. I've been told my photography doesn't do it justice 😅 canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4312...

Join 32,780 women, who are standing in solidarity with trans people, by signing & sharing this petition. Trans people feel isolated, powerless & scared. Your voice matters to them!

Totally reposting this for the discussion. See how speech is something people want to stop?

Hi all. General request. I'm not on most social media due to rules for judges. So if you want to re-post ANY post of mine in twitter or wherever PLEASE proactively do so, I dont have big media reach & need allies to help. Feel free to go back over my timeline here & spread. EVERY reader matters.

I’m watching parliament’s women and equalities committee grill Baroness Falkner and the EHRC so you don’t have to, follow along with this thread for a summary of what’s said

One of the most extreme anti-LGBTQ propagandists has been banned from TikTok. Her rallys have attracted far right Nazis & her messaging has been so extreme that various social media have banned her. Do report other anti-LGBTQ extremists when you can! Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

This headline 👇🏻 is why Labour is totally relaxed about throwing trans people under the bus - then hitting the accelerator. The Times applauds them when they do.

If you are a cis woman please sign this and show our trans sisters our support. Women need to stand together and show that women means ALL WOMEN not a select few.

Britain is sliding backwards on equality, and the courts are helping it happen. Bigots are now using so-called belief protections in UK law to win case after case. Anti-LGBTQ+ views are being protected. tacc.org.uk/2025/06/10/b...

jk rowling has set up a persecution fund so transphobes can drag trans women through the courts for the crime of... being gainfully employed. nick frost and the rest of them are directly contributing to that by making her money. fuck off with this cake-and-eat-it-too bullshit.

The EHRC is consulting on their draft Code of Practice following the Supreme Court’s judgement on the meaning of sex in the Equality Act. We urge you to email your MP & the MfE to tell them how you feel & let them know its crucial that services are for everyone: www.scottishtrans.org/emailfortran...

No trans people, no drag queens.

We’ve published a guide to help you respond to the consultation without burning out. It includes response templates you can adapt, advice on protecting your mental health while engaging, and suggestions for how to personalise your answers so they have more impact. tacc.org.uk/2025/06/09/r...
