..and for what it's worth, Caroline, my human ghost-writer, as a trans woman, feels safer with people like you, who show they understand us π
Done! π
The Green Party leadership election is getting serious attention. That reflects how far weβve come: four MPs, 800+ councillors β and a politics that now looks very different!

It's from Queen II, for any who haven't heard it!
Yet another dog whistle....
Yep; I know the very party line... ππ©ππ©ππ©ππ©ππ©ππ©
The Pegan Federation shows its support to the trans community.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I hate being right: substack.com/@sarahkendzi...
Yes, they've already test run that one with regard to trans rights π€¬
A new report from TransActual shows that trans and cisgender people face job loss, violence, vigilantism and wholesale exclusion following the Supreme Court Ruling and EHRC guidance. Read the report at: tinyurl.com/trans-segreg... #Trans #Transgender #Nonbinary #EqualityAct #EHRC #TransRights
Sorry Nadia, I know you mean well, but Labour has become a brand name. The Greens stand for everything that Labour once did, so please think about joining them. I'm sure they'd welcome you with open arms. β€οΈ
'Fetishist men'. That shows how much you know. Bye bye π
They still need to be calling out Streeting (and Starmer) big time, and they're not.
Great initiative! All the very best π€
Iβve nothing to do with this company but Iβve admired their inclusive ethos for a while (thereβs a statement on their website thatβs VERY trans inclusive), and when I eventually get some money Iβll be buying a few things from them because obviously. A t-shirt for the British zeitgeist ππ»
People with influence really need to start publicly confronting Streeting with this, and insisting that he look the truth, as depicted here, in the eye (nice little appetiser for you to get your teeth into if you win, Zack π) While ever he can ignore it he's getting far too easy a ride....
Dunno which shop that is, but if I did, and it was within range, I'd make a token purchase. Whoever you are, thanks for being big enough to change your stance π
Yay!!!
Legal disputes should never be decided by who has the most money. The system stinks. π€¬
@tessamunt.bsky.social please take a few minutes to read Sarahβs thread. It captures perfectly the awful, inhumane and profoundly upsetting mess that the Supreme Court and EHRC have created for trans people. Itβs up to Parliament to fix this.
I hope she's bearing up okay, bless her π«

I know exactly what the minister will do to your letter unfortunately. They will ignore it and continue on with little to no thought to the harm they are inflicting on innocent people, well other than gleefully congratulating themselves at doing more harm than the tories managed in 14 years.
This is the latest report from @transactualuk.bsky.social documenting LGBTQ+ people's responses to the Supreme Court ruling. Extremely hard-hitting evidence we should disseminate far & wide. Huge thanks to everyone who shared their narratives. Full report here: transactual.org.uk/impacts-of-t...

Separating Rowlingβs Art From Her A 𧡠Letβs be clear. When you choose to engage with a work by someone still alive and actively funding anti trans harm, it matters. Youβre not just watching or reading, youβre enabling. βSeparating art from artistβ only works if the artist is dead. 1/17
Once again, I would like to remind people "single-sex spaces" is not in the Equality Act and hasn't been used in official government policy like ever It's an ideological term by gender critical transphobes only now being used in official capacities because the EHRC/government are/is transphobic
If any trans person needs a little pick-me-up today, hereβs a lovely bit of trans inclusion by @markdruss.bsky.social from the @quaker.org.uk π youtu.be/OoYYzd-n8J0?...
Older but wiser! π
This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively βwe legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happenedβ
Important short thread, particularly for my cis followers. This is America, now ππ»
First they came for the immigrants. Now we're onto the queers. Women are next. I am begging all of you. Be loud. Save us. Make it incredibly clear this is unacceptable. If you don't? If you don't hold the line here? You're next. You don't want to be where I'm sitting right now.
Quakers rock β€οΈ
That's the NHS all over: over-complicate things to facilitate the employment of more people sat behind desks...
Hope it's not stones or anything serious. π€
111/NHS direct is a joke. Having to misgender yourself to the people there for no reason is outright humiliating. It's designed to put trans people off reaching out for healthcare support. There were years of surveys that worked on finding respectful ways to gather this information, disregarded.
Inspired reposte! πππ

1 following, 1 post. So-o-o-o-o predictable. Bye bye π
The EHRC has refused to uphold our review request, continuing to block transparency. We have now escalated the matter to the Information Commissionerβs Office (ICO) for investigation into their handling and use of exemptions.
Well I'll solve that problem for you. You're blocked.
Oh dear, you ARE hot under the collar, aren't you? When I've actually done any of the above, rather than just say I enjoy looking at something, maybe you'll have a point. In the meantime, I suggest you lighten up a bit.
Ditto β€οΈ
They do.. but having had mine a decade ago, it does remain a handy tool to be used as a reference if they ever try to land 'gender exploratory therapy' on us adults... Which they can get fucked with, by the way.
A true 'portaloo' then! π
πππππ
50,000 +, eh? That's an awful lot of responses for them not be be taking into account... π
No offence taken. The pic is beautiful, thanks β€οΈπ Truth be told, we're all dependent upon things that are detrimental to the planet. While we try and play the long game, sometimes even artifice can bring comfort...
Fan bloody tastic!! Take a bow, all of you responsible π
Me? I'm only a hen... π
Again, just like the technology you're using to reply to me....
Well I'm happy for you π
Totally agree with your last point, but imagine you were stuck in a hospital bed with no view of the outside world? Or living in a dark, depressing slum from which there was no hope of immediate escape? Sometimes things like this are the only glimpses of Nirvana that people have access to...
Oh, and by the way, everything about the mobile or computer you're using costs huge amounts of electricity and fresh water... π
... and what have you done today to make someone feel good?
Sock it to 'em! π₯π³οΈββ§οΈπ
So pleased we made this happen. What's so striking, is that this 10-volume dossier represents just β0.73%βof the 50,000+ responses the EHRC have received. The EHRC have been totally overwhelmed by the response. Huge, huge thanks to everyone who shared their submissions with us. More photos below! 1/
Truly incredible work from @transactualuk.bsky.social and @tacc.org.uk π³οΈββ§οΈ
Exactly this π Originality and creativity will ultimately win us this war π
If what I see makes me feel good, then it's cool π
Completely π
Sometimes, regrettably, the only solution is to let people know that you have the bigger stick...
9. Michiganβs AG has shown one path forward: warning institutions that capitulation itself may be unlawful. If more AGs follow that lead, they could tip the balance, compelling schools and hospitals to resist rather than retreat, and ensuring that trans lives are not treated as bargaining chips.
Good on you π For the record, I feel the same way about being a chook ππ
Maybe raise the issue with them? You could also write to the BMA. I know it's a lot of hassle, but if it gets things moving forward for you...
Is your local MP trans-friendly?
On to the CQC, then (for starters).. π
That's fair enough. I'm still okay with it (for now...) π
It's always good to remember the beauty of the wider world whilst you're caught up in human preoccupations - and that's not just me talking, my human ghost-writer swears by it πππ
So what?
Firstly, maybe a letter to the practice manager, just casually mentioning the CQC....
Tbh, I tend to give some people the benefit of the doubt: as far as I'm aware, 'they' is a bit of a catch-all, and it's what a lot of people use out of discretion when they're not sure. But then, what do I know? I'm only a hen (pronouns: she/it/they)...
βοΈπ³οΈββ§οΈ When a journalist who writes and campaigns on trans rights caught the attention of a gender-critical barrister, her life was turned upside down. With her support, weβve filed a complaint with the Bar Standards Board. https://goodlaw.social/blei
Marianne is a hero β€οΈ People should listen to her voice rather than those of the government, who promise 'dignity and respect', but deliver the exact opposite.
βNo matter how much the government try to limit access to trans healthcare for trans youth, I will never stop working to deliver what I know works and is safe. What is good enough for trans youth in Europe is good enough for trans youth in the UK.β #PubertyBlockerBan #GenderAffirming #AnneHealth
Money should be no object when fighting for justice. The whole system is wrong.
This is exactly the kind of thing that has to be done: get wise to the artifice, preempt it and stay one step ahead πππ
Israel have bombed another hospital. Waited for medics to arrive - and then bombed again. Britain keeps selling arms to this genocidal regime. Starmer & Lammy say they're "horrified". They condemn. But they do nothing. All the war criminals must face justice.
Bye bye π
The EHRC don't want your views; TransActual are challenging Government Ministers to do better! We had no faith that the EHRC would conduct this consultation professionally, fairly or transparently. We asked individuals and organisations to send us copies of their consultation responses.
Has anyone else noticed that since COVID and the lockdowns turned life upside down, people tend to think more in extremes? There's no real 'normal' anymore...
Can it be made more public, too?
Brilliant. πππ
With some help from our friends @tacc.org.uk , the result was a massive ten-volume, 2,800 page dossier, which we have now sent to Nia Griffith and Bridget Phillipson (Ministers for Women and Equalities). #EqualityAct #EHRC #Trans #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransRights #Equality #Discrimination
Oh c'mawn - ALL the best medicine tastes terrible! Always have!
Will someone please tell him that you can't 'separate the art from the artist' when the proceeds from the art are being used to finance lawsuits against the interests of a defenceless minority?
Susan Stryker continues to be absolutely amazing.

Remember when all the really mature adults in the room said it would stop at bathrooms and sports and protecting the kids and that transphobes had legitimate concerns.
