Well done, @humanrightsvicky.bsky.social. 👏 Yet another human rights organisation #TheLemkinInstitute calls out the UK on trans and intersex rights following the Supreme Court ruling. www.lemkininstitute.com/red-flag-ale... They join: ILGA-Europe Human Rights Watch 18 UN Independent HR Experts

It is extremely disturbing that the government and @commonswec.parliament.uk have refused to take the concerns of feminists and LGBTQ people into account, and still plan to appoint an anti-trans activist to chair the EHRC.

nonbinary people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want to their bodies

Get your cis friends to read this. It reveals how the anti-trans hate groups are really part of a web of extremist right-wing hate groups…

Stephen Kinnock is lying. People don't lose PIP when they get a job, its not an out of work benefit & plenty of people on PIP work Kinnock knows this. What he's doing is part of a wider govt strategy to paint disabled people as shirkers & scroungers stealing from working people

Starmer wants to “amend” Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights to have more deportations. What he doesn’t say is that Art 8 has only been used to stop deportations 13 times since the 1980s. Yet he suddenly wants to “amend” it after trans people demand the human rights Art 8 confers.

The illegal ban on trans people using the correct toilets in parliament imposed just two days before our mass lobby of MPs is basically Starmer saying to trans people; “You have fewer democratic democratic rights than cis people. We don’t want MPs to listen to you as constituents and voters.”… 1/4

Toilet ban in UK parliament "Members of the public should use facilities that correspond to their biological sex or the gender-neutral toilets." www.parliament.uk/visiting/acc...

This is very helpful and enlightening. Note that the EHRC have now explicitly said that they will accept consultation submissions questioning /challenging their interpretation of the Supreme Court ruling.

Open letter calling for an inquiry into the EHRC. I’ve just signed. organise.network/actions/peti...

i don't think most cis people know what it's like for every fun or happy or meaningful moment you experience to be overshadowed by some tragedy affecting your fundamental personhood in some way within 48 hours on either side of it

With ALT text. In case you thought the fix is in, that's because it is. "I have been instructed by the charities LGB Alliance and Sex Matters"

Gender Critical are not feminists. They hate women. 👇👇👇

Follow-up on our EHRC FOI request Last week, we told you the EHRC was using a ‘law enforcement’ exemption to delay releasing its emails with Sex Matters and Maya Forstater. We’ve now had their clarification, and it raises even more questions. 1/5

Being trans in the year of our genocide 2025 is waking up every morning to see how many more articles about you have been pushed out by a media ecosystem lusting after your extermination.

I have just used this template to email the Women and Equalities Committee and Joint Committee on Human Rights about the proposed appointment of Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson as chair od the EHRC. You should too, she is IMO totally unsuited to this job. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

hi, cis folks! if you’re calling democratic reps about the maga murder budget, you should *specifically mention* it’s unacceptable to pass a bill blocking funding for lifesaving transition care FOR TRANS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. if you want to stand with trans people, this is a big moment. 🧵 reps.fyi

around 11 million people from other countries, many of which do not have a sex marker on their birth certificates or easy access to a birth certificate at all exist in the UK. this proposal would constitute an act of discrimination against around 1/10th of the population.

This is vile. Today is reading and noting how far this is from their initial statement (a long way) and how far this is from reasonable (further)… www.equalityhumanrights.com/equality/equ...

The Labour Party should not be allowed back into ANY Prides until this blatant discrimination against trans people is gone.

The Labour party voting to exclude trans women from recognition as women within the party is a fucking disgrace and proof of the reason why teams we all needed to exclude the Labour party from pride events

Two points about that leaked Labour NEC guidance. Neither, I am afraid, good. First, the author uses the (rare, outside transphobic discourse) words "transwoman" and "transman" which delegitimise as women and men people who are trans. Hard to believe this is by accident.

labour: we welcome the verdict that bans you from public bathrooms lgbtq people: okay you're banned from attending our party labour: wtf that's so disrespectful??
