By defining “sex” in the Equality Act as “biological,” it ignored key case law, EHRC guidance, and even Parliament’s intent. This isn’t just a reinterpretation. It’s a rollback. We broke down what the Court left out. gender-matters.org/law/ignored-...

Unsurprised but happy to see that the Men's Sheds organisation is inclusive of trans men (and, where there are women-only sessions, trans women). (See the relevant part of the FAQ. <3 ) menssheds.org.uk/faq/

In the light of the Radio 4 nonsense, just reminding people of this. Stop thinking you’re achieving something by posting pictures of hypermasc trans guys and going ooooh they’re gonna be in the ladies

@whatthetrans.com Leeds, Saturday. There’s one tomorrow at 5pm as well, same location, but that seems less well-organised (and an odd time for a bank holiday). This follows the regular Palestine protest on Saturdays

Going through the For Some Women decision, and something I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere is that the court took it upon itself to define lesbians in a way that excludes some cis lesbians and includes some straight trans men.

Trans Day of Visibility was yesterday and I didn't post because these days I have concerns about the helpfulness of visibility. But a friend reminded me of the importance of possibility for newly out trans people so let me just say: I came out over ten years ago, and life just keeps getting better.

Read this declaration. A professional soccer player has been imprisoned in El Salvador and forced into hard labor on the basis of soccer-related tattoos and a single, innocent hand gesture. This is why the administration is withholding due process. It knows its targets could prove their innocence.
