“The practical effect of the EHRC's guidance is intended to force those who want to be kind to the trans community to be unkind to the trans community, which is a bizarre thing for a government department to want to do” says Jo Maugham @goodlawproject.org www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture...

These are the reasons the Supreme Court gave for refusing to hear from the trans intervenors (whilst agreeing to hear from many transphobes). None. Our legal team of three barristers included two who are now KCs. (I have redacted the Registrar's signature.)

Umm, have public sector workers ever asked politicians to write a blank cheque? I doubt it, but that doesn’t stop The Telegraph writing articles like this…. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

On 1 May you can give your vote to a party that is principled, practical and cares about the same things you do. Vote Green for real hope and real change.

Share this image far and wide Whilst innocent people protested for trans rights, cops were using facial recognition cameras on the crowd in busses. Is this the society we want to live in.

Interesting to note which British leftist influencers have said absolutely nothing about trans rights since the Court ruling. It's easy to stand with trans people when we're not hated, the real test of allyship is what you do when we're under attack. Silence is complicity

Israel is a violently racist nation packed with bloodthirsty child killers, and by allying with them Labour is directly complicit in the mass murder of tens of thousands of innocents. This is simply a fact. Free Palestine.

We are supporting 10 women who have come forward and reported “bullying and misogyny” and “degrading behaviour” from a judge. This is Alison McDermott’s experience

The Supreme Court sided with FWS. But it didn’t hear from a single trans person. This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It puts trans rights back 20 years. We won't stop fighting for trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️

A thread in which I try to show some of the harmful practical effects on the quality of its analysis of the Supreme Court's appalling and delegitimating decision to exclude all trans voices from a judgment with profound effects on trans people's lives.

We have a government that is moving heaven and earth to prevent a vulnerable minority from having healthcare or accessing any public spaces, and yet I get called unhinged when I call Labour fascist. But they are fascist. They started with trans people but it won't stop with us.

Please don’t tone police me. I give as good as I get when terfs attack. Not many of you face the volume I do, so you have no idea what it’s like to sometimes have a thousand hate messages in one day. If you’re a turn the other cheek person, then maybe I’m not for you. Which is fine.

What happened to you? I’m guessing you’ve either suffered trauma due to a guy, or grew up in a violent household. And I’ll bet in whatever the scenario was, there were no trans people involved. But here you are, with your hidden account, wound up like a clockwork soldier and pointed at a target.
