The #EHRC Chair must be a credible, impartial arbiter of human rights - with a clean record on equalities. Mary-Ann Stephenson cannot be that person. Read our full statement 👇 www.prideinlabour.org.uk/post/labour-...

For those curious about why the nomination of Mary-Ann Stephenson as EHRC chair is so dangerous for trans people, this article gives an excellent analysis. Immaculately laundered bigotry is still bigotry medium.com/@selfsovall/...

An update on the withholding of suicide data🧵 Remember how in Dec 2024, after 5 months of chasing NHS England and the DHSC as to whether Alice's data was sent to the DHSC for a report into trans youth suicide by Prof Appleby, I made a FOI of the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust to ask them...

This is significant in that it is about pretext politics. Streeting wants to find a pretext to ban gender-affirming healthcare for all under 18s despite the fact that multiple research studies have shown that it is safe, beneficial and that banning it is harmful.

I need help! There’ll be families at home tonight talking unkindly about trans people, in front of a trans child. This harms them. We must reduce harm and share a different story, which is why I’m passionate about this ⬇️ initiative showing why women reject trans oppression. Read,sign,share #NION

After recent revelations about the EHRC thanks to @tacc.org.uk this is no surprise. The EHRC is toast. Resign, Baroness Falkner, its over. Did you inform the Supreme Court that EHRC met & liaised with the GCIM over your guidance before the court case? Do answer. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

By locking out trans people, ignoring its Human Rights Act obligations, ignoring what Parliament was told the GRA was for, relying on a biased academic researcher, its ascientific 'biology' and hubristic attitude to lesbians, the Supreme Court caused incalculable harm to trust in the rule of law.

I have been actively following this FOI request and am so grateful for @reactiveashley.bsky.social for pursuing this. We know Alice's data was not sent to the DHSC for Appleby to review. So it's particularly galling to read the Information Commissioner's Office quote Appleby at length stating:

Their precious Supreme Court ruling created this mess. They insist it brings clarity but it absolutely does not. Now everyone loses out. I am looking forward to when Labour MP's finally twig what a monumental screwup this whole thing is and GC hate groups only ever wanted cruelty and chaos.

Not easy to see what the EHRC do from here. If they continue with their consultation on the basis of what seems to us (quite clearly) to be a flawed understanding of the law they risk the whole thing being a nullity. /1

One week Starmer does segregation of trans people, next week it's immigrant-bashing. And it's always open season on the disabled... Why are no Labour MPs just leaving? Labour is supposed to stop Fascism, not become it.

1/ This was so difficult for Emily to do. Having to tell her team she is banned by the FA at the end of the month from playing football just because of who she is. It tore her apart telling them. She then had to pull it together and play football, which she did. On the way home we both cried a lot

Let me get this straight: the Cass review wasn’t peer-reviewed yet was relied on by the government for major policy decisions - but now a critique of that review has been peer-reviewed and published, giving it more authority. Will government now be relying on this for policy? We all know the answer.

What drives young trans people to take their own lives is transphobia, is policies that try and force them to conform to patriarchal gender norms. Streeting and Appleby's attempts to silence those pointing out this truth is utterly, utterly shameful.

Very sad. I need to upgrade from a Nvidia RTX 3070. It's time. But all the GPU reviewers are screaming, 'DO NOT BUY!'. Nvidia are taking the piss with pricing. The new 5070ti's are between £700 - £800. I paid about £500 for the 3070 when that came out. Almost gave me a stroke. Very sad. 😐

piece has apparently disappeared (?) but I did a big feature on the petitions committee a few years ago and the conclusion was v much that unless you're looking for a very specific, narrow and mostly uncontroversial change in law, those HoC petitions/debates don't achieve anything meaningful anyway

I write about this in the next Trans Agenda but I think we need to stop organising petitions to get debates in the House of Commons. All we do is give the worst people a large platform to attack trans people and the papers more fodder. If we had decent allies there, maybe. But we don't.
