Do I know any multi millionaires who are up for funding initiatives to help Trans people?

If you have been stopped, challenged or harassed when using a single-sex space (such as toilets or changing rooms) since the UK's Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act. We need to hear from you. Let us know at: tinyurl.com/ReportALoo25 #Trans #Transgender #Nonbinary #Queer #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ

Currently a big protest at Liverpool Street Satation

EXPOSED: Sex Matters met privately with EHRC leadership in Sept, just months before major guidance changes, pushing anti-trans framing under the guise of “clarity.” TACC obtained the documents via FOI. tacc.org.uk/2025/05/23/i...

Good to see this called out, but we are about to have an entire decade of the people defending us calling us "biological males" and feeding the transphobes' arguments aren't we. So depressing. How did they manage to indoctrinate this science denial so hard

1/ managed to get Emily to go back to college yesterday as long as I promised to pick her up. I got the train early so she wouldn’t be waiting for me and took her for pancakes and a hot chocolate. Not something I would normally do but we are living in awful times and I need to be careful in how I

Going live on Twitch and Youtube right now I have a special guest! One of the brave women who was part of the topless protest in scotland recently Come hear all about it

Lots to think on here. I don't feel a boycott would be effective. But Cal is right that the EHRC framing provides little space to oppose their actual proposals. One strategy could be a "this, and" approach: encouraging cis-led orgs to respond AND separately write to oppose the consultation framing.

One summer in Milan, a group of trans women's topless protest was a spark to a broader movement in Italy that changed Trans+ rights across the country 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/tops-off-the-public-pool-protest-that-sparked-the-fight-for-trans-rights-in-italy/

Really good to join so many other people outside the EHRC offices in Glasgow again today - right as they launched their faux consultation on trans segregation. Many new battles start here, but important to remember that together we are powerful!

How can a government delegate the creation of Nazi style papers checks to an unelected "human rights" Quango politically appointed by their predeccessors. It wants to make the public gender police. Absurd and obvioulsy harmful to all of society.

Transphobia is the reserve of the elite. With deals hashed out over dinner parites and drinks at the House of Lords between leaders of hate groups and the chair of the EHRC.

We are back outside the EHRC offices in Glasgow!

"Asking for the community to spend time on this consultation seems like voluntarily smashing ourselves in the face with a brick. It will harm us. It will not harm those who are trying to harm us." Cal here recommending we consider a boycott and spend time & effort on other actions.

Hey, if you are a Trans advocate / activist in Sweden, particularly in the context of adolescent healthcare please get in touch. Thanks.

Deeply troubling that an EHRC Commissioner is praising advice that ignores Human Rights, GRA / GDPR privacy and practical issues before the EHRC-led consultation has been held. How are trans people to have any confidence in the process?

Today, the EHRC are supposedly launching a consultation on their plans for trans segregation. To mark the occasion, I've been looking at my notes from 2009. As part of consultations for the Equality Bill, the EHRC held multiple meetings with all affected groups - including of course trans people.

Second lunchtime protest outside the EHRC offices in Glasgow announced for tomorrow! Tell everyone!

Fantastic display of solidarity with @chelseapride.bsky.social for the trans+ community at today's Women's FA Cup Final! ❤️💙 We stand by our trans, non-binary and intersex siblings in their time of need. Transphobia has no place in women's football! #MUWomen #WomensFACupFinal

Come on Belfast! Come say hi to the mam's if you're in Belfast today ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️ #standupfightback

Reminded that 'Blinded By the Light' is a beautiful film based on a true story about the Pakistani British journalist and writer Sarfraz Manzoor and his love of the works of Bruce Springsteen whilst growing up in Luton.

Trans people in the USA are fleeing their homes for safety. I wonder what the numbers would look like for the UK. I know many are wanting to leave for more affirming countries.

I predict a LOT of backtracking this week of those organisations who rushed out ill-thought out policies in wake of flawed EHRC 'updates' & anti Trans media cycles. I wonder where the responsibility for the human cost lies the EHRC or the Minister for Equalities?

The campaign to ban Conversion therapy across Europe has reached over 1 million signatures. The UK has fallen far behind on LGBT+ rights but there is a chance to pass a strong law banning so called conversion therapies, without exemptions or exceptions.

Along with a man and a woman who are trans, and someone who is intersex, we are suing the EHRC and the Equalities Minister in respect of the disgraceful and unlawful EHRC guidance. In line with our transparency principles we are publishing the full 32 page legal letter. goodlaw.social/2ihj

Good Law Project call for the EHRC to "withdraw its Interim Update immediately & to state publicly that the Interim Update is of no effect & its advice should not be followed. EHRC & Gov minister are guilty of gross incompetence & massive overreach & have to go. goodlawproject.org/wp-content/u...

Sending love, strength and solidarity to all the Trans people struggling right now with the weight of overwhelming cis-supremacy. Know you have allies who will fight for you with everything we have.

We welcome the change to the voting process in #Italy, which removes gender-divided lines for voting. This was a key effort of trans activists in Italy, making voting enfranchisement a reality for trans and non-binary people in the country.

Amazing! A trans man sues over being denied a mastectomy and wins. We need to start legal action against anyone who denies us access to healthcare in the UK

Transphobia is bad for the skin and the soul.

Maybe someone with a legal mind could help out here. By extension could the Irish model of care also he illegal under European law? www.huffingtonpost.fr/justice/arti...
