I see the EHRC, Bridget Phillipson and the Supreme Court are #MakingWomenSafe "I said: “Would you like to see my tits?” "I started unzipping my hoodie. He panicked: 'No no no, don’t do that!'"

Importanf article by Human Rights Watch about the UK human righrs crisis: Reminder, if you are Trans or an ally, it is not sensible to come to the UK at present during the rights clampdown here. www.hrw.org/news/2025/05...

Would love to see some ally mps actually oppose the segregation of trans people rather than accept the premise but insist we “aren’t left without facilities” Im not thankful for provisions of segregation

"Why should I get all that opportunity and not a trans person? It's not equal. It's not right.” Thank you to Hampshire’s Nancy Harman for speaking with me on the harm of the ECB’s ban on trans players, trans allyship & why athletes must use their platforms 🏳️‍⚧️. www.skysports.com/cricket/news...

We're collecting data following the Supreme Court decision. Please share what you know with us!

Dangerously withdrawing HRT. Just one of the ways this despicable, cruel government is killing us. We are having our lives blown to pieces in the UK in 2025, for no other reason than hate and bigotry. By a LABOUR government.

To highlight two of the myriad issues: 1) In what way is the more succinct and more accurate phrase 'people with cervixes' better than 'women and trans men'? 2) You are not "erasing women" by acknowledging that trans people exist. It astounds that these fuckwits can breathe, let alone be MPs.

If anyone wants to send an email to their LMC noting objections to Proposals 8 and 19, here's what I sent.

A bunch of cis former international rugby players have had enough of the anti-trans bullshit. World first: cis women vs trans women rugby international, at the Bingham Cup in Oslo later this month. www.instagram.com/reel/DJQHzXi...

Strongly agree. Travelling down to London and being surrounded by ~30,000 allies and the ~600 at York made me feel less alone, less scared. On Sunday I attended the Trans Hull coffee morning for the first time. Connecting with the community has been a bright spot in this period of adversity.

Hello World! Welcome to followers changing channels from LinkedIn. Thank you everyone following me for the first time. Here is a video link to an address I gave at the start of Trans History Week. Wherever you are, know the UK is trans-hostile. It will take 12mins of your life. youtu.be/IPU6XN4lOvw

Recently met up with someone I used to know before they transitioned - 1st time I’ve ever seen a before & after IRL - and WOW, it’s amazing how much people flourish when they come out!!? Happier, smarter, funnier, sexier, more confident, the light in their eyes… We should be funding this shit fr! ✨

This letter from Tony Vaughan KC, the MP for Folkestone, is the clearest articulation I’ve seen on the flaws of the interim update from the EHRC. The section titled ‘Legal Incoherence’ hits the nail on the head.

Are you transgender or non binary and just want to play football? We are looking for players from all over the UK to join us as we plan to stick 2 fingers up to the FA and to create a TRUK UK Football League with teams from all over the country. Email us [email protected]

A really excellent perspective in here.

Please write to your MP. This is really nasty stuff.

This amendment is a real danger. It is nothing to do with "protecting women's spaces", it is a brazen attempt to force transgender people to out themselves, daily. At work, in their communities and on their ID. I've written to my MP to ask them to vote this down. Please consider doing the same.

Following the English FA ruling banning trans women from playing soccer, former England and Chelsea defender Anita Asante dedicated her Game Changer Award at the 2025 Women's Football Awards to the trans community & called for other players to show their support ❤️🏳️‍⚧️ 📸 IG/neetz2

Example #18202 that women’s football is far more inclusive of trans people than transphobes will ever understand (because they don’t actually care about women’s sport)

Now up on our the homepage of our website, a comprehensive downloadable guide to what to say once you have a meeting set up with your MP (if you haven't yet - please keep writing!)
