Another inadequate thing is the women’s uniforms. Men wear practical uniforms; women are usually forced to be half naked.

The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

If we could obtain some/all of the original complaints and outcome decisions, we could take a strong case to judicial review. If any of you out there made complaints against this monster to the Bar Standards Board and got one of the 'No Further Action' replies, DM us. discretion guaranteed (more)

EXCLUSIVE: In our latest episode we sat down with Clare Prosho who runs the Adult Gender Service Monitor at @ukgsm.bsky.social, she worked out the 225 year wait time in Glasgow last year. Want to hear how long it is now? Get listening! > whatthetrans.com/ep167

In mid-October we had the pleasure of welcoming #IMC2027's Special Thematic Strand Co-ordinator, Cosmin Popa-Gorjanu, to Leeds for a week of Communities-themed stranding and programming. Read below to learn more about the IMC programming process:

The full weight of the UK establishment - NHS, the Times, Baronesses of the House of Lords, all misrepresenting an actual full blown scandal of acute child harm. My research (with @sandraduffy.bsky.social) captures the real situation, centring patient voice journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

The Burnham government is happy to listen to transphobes galore but will move mountains to avoid listening to any trans people.

The media want another Jason Arday...

Imagine if a podiatrist randomly got involved in oncology because someone in the government hired them to do an independent review. Then, a few years later, they were able to disrupt and shut down healthcare for cancer patients despite having no expertise That's Cass in the UK with trans healthcare

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. 30 years after the first protests members of the UK intersex communities have come together to write this important open letter to the UK government: openletter.earth/open-letter-... Please do read, sign and share widely.

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.

Can anyone recommend me some good stuff to read on the Book of Job? Medieval-era appreciated #medievalsky but any/all periods of interpretation also welcome, I would like to understand it more in general.

Myself and @sandraduffy.bsky.social are looking for people to come talk at the @slsauk.bsky.social annual conference in April. We want people to come and discuss what we're describing as trans/gender legal histories. Please get in touch if you have ideas you'd like to explore. www.slsa.ac.uk/streams

New Rule: Before any of you cis liberals come into a trans person's replies about how we need to suck it up and vote for bigot candidates, you are now required to list which specific rights YOU, personally, are willing to give up in exchange for your candidate's election.

Autumn Dawn at Bolton Priory. The priory was founded around 1154–1155 when a community of Augustinian canons (often called "black canons" due to their robes) relocated from nearby Embsay. The land beside the River Wharfe was gifted to them by Lady Alice de Romille of Skipton Castle.

Rowling *never* writes about women’s rights, workplace discrimination or the threats to women from predatory men. I tracked her posts for five months: Well over 200 hateful transphobic smears. Not a single post about women’s actual concerns or needs None

there is no such thing as the neutral observer in journalism. there is no such thing as "objective journalism". These ideas are just bullshit marketing meant to make you think their work is somehow better than someone who openly cares about the subjects they investigate and report on.

I said in this interview that life as a trans person in 2026 Britain is "terrifying", but I honestly don't really feel "terrified" so much as I feel "terrorised". And the industry I work in carries much of the blame.

Imagine feeling like your country's newsmedia could at any time turn its back and begin this level of hate campaign against you, to the point that they harass you and everyone you love to the literal ends of the earth, mining you for content until your death and even after. How would you live life?

She moved country and changed her name – and the British press still won't stop harassing her.

BBC editing out pride flags and protect the dolls while insisting on poppies really really laying bare its a state propaganda mouthpiece innit

Battle of Ideas Run by peer, Claire Fox 17 of the speakers were peers Bank rolled by a billionaire, Ben Delo Choca bloc with Race Realists/Sex Realists Gender Critical up the wazoo Bet Jo 'Two Yachts' Rowling would claim it's all grass roots and working class. No elites to see here, nope none..

To clarify @transparentaction.bsky.social exists to support proud parents (and other family) of trans people, to take a stand and speak up. Given we’ve recently heard that family members influenced the gender affirming surgery pause for adults in Wales, our action is needed more now than ever.

Breaking. Data request from the CPS has confirmed the Met Police didn't supply the CPS with further information supplied by the witness about Graham Linehan that would have shown crucial context and mens rea to his tweet INCITING others to assault transgender people. This changes things massively.

Headline: “forced out of job” Article: she decided to leave her job after being accused of transphobia The good old Sussex transphobe playbook huh

Things have gotten SO MUCH WORSE since last we poast.

Even when your job is to absorb horrors, please try and understand that it is: - Absorb a subset of the horrors - Absorb the horrors within working hours(even if you're volunteering) and attempt not to absorb them outside of working hours.

Maybe now people will have more empathy for Meghan not wanting her children to have much contact with the Royal family, the family consisting of people like Prince Andrew

Just a working class lunch at the River Cafe in Hammersmith, where lunch starts from £65…

So JK doesn’t just have one yacht, she has a “support yacht” that follows her “normal” yacht around. And she has the gall to describe one of the most impoverished demographics wanting nothing more than to exist…?
