The latest @whatthetrans.com podcast is out, with yours truly talking with @flintywrites.bsky.social and @ashleigh.whatthetrans.com about the 2026 gender service dashboard updates. link to the pod below, which includes links to the dashboards.

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.

Another episode. Essentially it's a gender clinic files part 2. Some fantastic work from the team and Clare.

I think I've heard a couple athletes say that they have felt let down by the community for conceding so quickly on trans sports. It has been dissappointing to see. And conceding unnecessarily when the actual science and everything all counts against trans sports bans.

German police raid a DIY hrt event. Absolutely horrendous from German authorities taz.de/Durchsuchung...

We have added this to the fundraisers section of the website: whatthetrans.com/compilation-...

It feels very coordinated that the NHS trans-exclusion ward guidance, the Civil Service guidance and the updated Armed Forces guidance (JSP889) have all dropped at the same time. They all enforce our exclusion from single sex spaces and make GRCs meaningless. Which was always the point.

EPISODE 166: BASH BACK: The Interview This week... - Turkey, has begun a crackdown on LGBTQ+ organisations and people - Update on the goings-on from the Welsh Gender Service - The Meat this week is, we spoke to BASH BACK + more whatthetrans.com/ep166/

Back in England. I want to go back. I don't like it here...

@bexsailingmermaid.bsky.social has now secured her bronze medal! Congratulations, a fantastic job and really proud!

Our latest reel. Today is the final day. Lets see if we can land the podium position!

As part of international lesbian visibility day I want to congratulate my partner @bexsailingmermaid.bsky.social for her fantastic day of racing yesterday. A 1st, a 4th and a 2nd in her races. Really proud to be her partner.

Day 4 Boats go and do zoomies

The challenger fleet of dinghy's is the perfect counter to terfs imo. It doesn't matter what condition you have or what your body has. 1 leg or 1 arm or if you are able bodied. You can compete. It is basically like the sailing equivalent to roller derby.

Today, we will be reporting on Exeter Trans Pride 2026! Come back shortly after 11:00 for the live reporting.

Day 3 in Portimao

Off to Portugal today. Helping out @bexsailingmermaid.bsky.social for the World Sailing Inclusion World Championship. Here's a video I edited of Bex on the water earlier last week.

My new article, co-authored with @sandraduffy.bsky.social is out today, please read & share: "Criminalising and eliminating affirmative healthcare: Trans childhood in a moral panic" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

We were going through our library of protest photos, but a curious thing we noticed was that there were a lack of protest signs talking about gender euphoria. Bit of a suprise that we didn't see it at all. We got tons about trans joy, other references to stuff. But not anything on gender euphoria.

Some great work by Flint! He put a lot of hard work into this. And the team has been doing a fantastic job of keeping WTT producing these episodes whilst I've been on my break.

We're in a film that needs your support! It's called TERF Island. A couple years ago we were asked by JJ to be shadowed and sit down for some discussion with the amazing Olivia from Trans Legal Clinic, Shiv, and Jazmeen Qureshi. Please give anything you can! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/terfisland...

So excited to be making an appearance in this film! Donate to its crowd funder here! It's all filmed. It just needs some last funds for its post production! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/terfisland...

To be clear – I would argue this is almost certainly unlawful discrimination under the Equality Act 2010, even under the Code of Practice.

Late Motion to Conference to unfreeze gender-affirming surgeries in Wales: autumnconf2026.greenparty.org.uk/std/Unfreeze... We need 50 co-proposers, ideally by midnight.

People get confused about the trans sports thing because at a glance it seems like a small issue that impacts a very small number of people and thus makes sense as a "reasonable" concession. But it isn't, because conceding that is accepting that a kid's trans identity is on some level fraudulent

I spoke to Kat Bristow and Melissa Harker from LGBTIQA+ Greens about conference motions A116: End political capture of the EHRC and create a truly Independent Equality & Human Rights Authority and A12: Oppose Gender-Based Blanket Bans in Sport. youtu.be/J_eySTo4LW4?...

Moment of silence for my spider plant. Lasted a year but unfortunately it looks like it has passed away.

Having some rum for the first time in like 2 or 3 months and it is super nice. Also got some nice chocolate to snack on. But now, I have a policy of no social media and alcohol so alas I shall bugger off the internet for the next couple hours

ICYMI: The NHS cancels every gender-affirming surgery for patients of the Welsh Gender Service with immediate effect, we reveal with @whatthetrans.com

It's always funny when someone tries to complain at us about a protest when we are clearly not an organiser of a protest we are reporting on.

Not until the last brick falls from the last Wetherspoons onto the last heterosexual will the UK know freedom.

🚨🆕 @wearequeeraf.com and @whatthetrans.com can reveal that the NHS has cancelled all gender-affirming surgeries for adult patients of the Welsh Gender Service Some trans patients received the news just days or even hours before they were due to take place 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/nhs-cancels-...

Living up to the "complaints" part of their name. Great work TACC!

Rest in peace Dolly. I shall commute to work tomorrow with 9-5 playing in her honour.

With it being payday. Bought myself a lovely new cookbook. This one brings in the politics of food and has some lovely recipes. Discussions of the effect of colonialism and a lot more. Gonna be a good read and can't wait to get into it.

I think I'm getting old. I'm getting excited about buying a multicooker and some fancy tupperware containers to do batch cooking.
