Today, some new projects for the next birthday… A handmade bag (I’m not up to sitting at a machine) from a x-stitch table cloth, a tentacled horror added to a floral tapestry, and some iffy mending to rescue a top for the lovely man. #recycling #upcycling #tapestry #embroidery #visiblemending

We're aware that some Local Authority social services - egged on by Wes Streeting and the NHS - are harassing loving families with trans children. We have commissioned legal advice from a leading firm on how to deal with those Local Authorities. goodlaw.social/25re

In mindblowing news, the EHRC's landlord, it seems at the EHRC's behest, is trying to injunct protestors from protesting outside the EHRC's offices. We will be in Court today making an emergency attempt to resist the injunction. www.crowdjustice.com/case/protect...

Guidance on responding to the EHRC consultation is now available on our website, made in partnership with others in the LGBTQ+ sector. You'll find it at: transactual.org.uk/equality-act...

since it’s pride and I just got a bunch of new followers let’s keep the rent low by firing some shots in the air - if someone wants to transition at any age for any reason that’s their business 👍🏳️‍⚧️

There is absolutely no evidence that therapy alone improves the distress of transgender youth and widespread evidence that therapy is useful in conjunction with parental support and access to gender-affirming care.

Politicians are betraying "white working class children" says the newspaper that a week ago argued Starmer shouldn't scrap the two child benefit cap so they could eat.

Getting there… Whether or not it’s finished for the birthday depends on carpal tunnel and assorted other medical stuff… but it looks like just maybe it might be doable. #embroidery

Nearly 18k cis women have signed this petition. If you are cis and haven't signed it already and support the trans+ community, please sign and share this. If you are trans, remember you are supported; however, the transphobes try to make it look. Please share this. www.change.org/p/not-in-our...

This is amazing! I have seen lots of boilerplate (meaning they’ve been written by a Starmer/McSweeny wonk) letters from MPs positioning trans women and cis women against each other. This campaign shows that cis women are not, in fact opposed to trans people’s human rights. Please sign and share.

Do not give this woman a dime of your money. 1. Do not watch the new show. 2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts) 3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith. www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

I've said before that while trans people have no actual advantage in sports, if they *did* and the choice was between "no sports" and "no bodily autonomy for trans people" anyone who would choose to keep sport is a monster.

Over 5000 signatures in 24 hours or so. Thank you for all the support :)

Worth noting that this is also what the UK government review found, it just ignored all the evidence in its conclusions.
