So many people buried their heads in the sand this week saying that NHS segregation of trans people was "for their safety". But even internal NHS assessments say it will cause direct harm. Sex is not binary and trans people need respectful care based on actual physiology, not anti-trans slogans.
NEW: NHS England know the harm they are doing to trans patients.
Their internal assessment reportedly warns of corridor care, treatment delays, outing, discrimination and healthcare avoidance being among the risks identified from their new policy

Today's announcement from NHS England was as bad as we expected. It is cruel and unworkable, and is phrased such that it is likely cost the NHS a vast amount of money as it is subjected to even more gender-critical lawfare.
Trans+ people, and the NHS, deserve better than this.
Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly
The more I examine the CPS “sex by deception” guidance, the uglier this gets.
Imagine a woman accused by a former sexual partner of “really being male”.
She says she isn’t.
What happens next?
I'm pretty sure the dems who are right wing for trans people are gonna be right wing for immigration too so like you probably shouldn't be voting for those dems anyways
Well, “we will drag you all down with us”, when lots of folks are facing even more danger today than the trans community is from Talarico Dems (how about those being held in concentration camps, sent to Eswatini or Gitmo, or killed by ICE?), is kind of being an asshole according to my worldview.
I'm still struggling with the volume of cis people who're confidently telling trans people they have to vote for a transphobe because Republicans are worse. The absolute hubris. Do you think we're idiot children, who don't know what the consequences are? Of course we do. 1/x
blizzard workers had to fight tooth and nail for years, but they finally did it: they secured a union contract not just for one team, but for all unionized units--warcraft, overwatch, diablo, and more
My first experience of AI was asking it a relatively simple Fortran question, entering it, watching it fail to compile and then giving up and reading the correct answer from a textbook
We use the term futureshock in my friendgroup to describe the bottomless disorientation that we experience when we see these things do something new that didn't previously seem possible. I'll probably never forget the first time I loaded up claude code.
‼️Statement RE my suspension from the Greens.
I was suspended for the 'crime' of being a trans woman who ran for a women's place. The "media interest" in my gender was cited as the sole reason for my suspension.
Undercover footage verified by Channel 4 News reveals a secret plot by senior Reform UK figures to break the law on party donations. A leading legal expert is now calling for a criminal investigation.
🔗 Read the exclusive story on Substack:
Trans + people segregated from using single sex spaces like toilets that match their gender.
Trans + people must declare their "birth sex" before having sex with someome new or face potemtialy being charged with sex by deception.
No end to the decades long wait times for trans people to receive
Under a UK Labour Gov we have:
The forced cancellation of all Adult trans + surgeries in Wales
The ongoing enforcement of a puberty blocker ban for all trans U18s.
A don't say trans style ban on teachers/support staff discussing trans + issues with pupils in English schools.
This is ridiculous, if every single surgery for any other condition was cancelled in this way, everyone involved in the decision making would be fired the next day.
This is purely transphobic and completely insane. I hope the NHS gets sued for this.
"GENEVA – UN human rights experts* today warned that the UK’s revised Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions, and Associations, in force as of 5 August, may place transgender and gender-diverse persons at heightened risk of discrimination and exclusion."

Unison, Aslef, Usdaw, and the Musicians’ Union will not attend the Labour Women’s Conference over the decision to ban trans women from formal proceedings at the event.
This is what solidarity looks like! 💜
If you're trans, you're trans.
Even if you misgender yourself in your thoughts
Even if you have nightmares of everyone deadnaming you
Even if you're not where you want to be
Even if it's hard
Even in the bad days
The deepest part of you
Still is your truth
Still is real
Still matters

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.
Then covered it up again when caught.
Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

“The decision to exclude trans women was made without any warning or consultation with members. The WI’s response that they had ‘no choice’ does not ring true for an organisation that has famously declared they ‘love taking on tricky issues’.”

Good god. We've spent a decade with the British media - including the BBC - claiming that the 'gender critical' movement wanted to 'protect women and girls'.
And it turns out Jeffrey Epstein was funding part of it.
During the pandemic many people regarded SAGE as dangerously flawed and not independent enough from government interference.
Today many regard the EHRC as dangerously flawed and not independent from government or anti-rights groups.
That is why we need the iEHRC.
FOI reveals that within the first week in office, Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson requested a meeting with Sex Matters to discuss "mutual priorities and ways to work together going forward"
Good morning. I hope this doesn't get lost in the war talk, but here's some facts about the threat of trans women in single sex spaces. It's unbelievable but it's true.

In my view these shocking numbers for homophobia and transphobia amongst Labour voters are, to a large extent the responsibility of the leadership of LGBT Labour over the last 5-6 years. There are a number of reasons why the LGBT Labour exec needs to be held accountable…
