Esse House UK

Please help to build the infrastructure the trans community needs to avoid abuses in everyday life. If the last few years have told us anything, it is that we can't rely on *most people*. If you call yourself a trans ally, chuck us a few £/$/€ to support the only organisation planning for the worst.

We believe that the public has the right to know the consequences of this policy change. So if NHS England won’t publish the full assessment, we will. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/10...

It is my birthday on the 16th October, and instead of gifts and well-wishes, please donate to @essehouse.bsky.social so that the organisation can buy and insure a van. It will make such a difference to what they can do!

Your regular reminder that my daughter Alice’s death wasn’t counted in Appleby’s report, despite her meeting all the criteria. And when I emailed the Tavistock adult GIC to inform them they could take Alice off the waitlist, because she’d died by suicide, they never replied. It’s a disgrace.

Trans people in Scotland will have the opportunity to meet up for a roast dinner on the first Sunday of every month from January 2027 through @essehouse.bsky.social as they seek to expand their community meet-up provisions. £5 per person. 2 courses. All diets catered for.

We have a relatively dry weekend coming up if anyone has some time to give? Get in touch!

We have another skip arriving on Wednesday, and we are still open to hosting volunteers until the end of the September. A warm bed and good food in return for a few hours labour on a fantastic community asset. Go on... 📧 contact@essehouse.co.uk

Many hands are making short work! Skip number 1 is pretty much filled up. Skip number 2 arriving Monday. Volunteers every day until Wednesday. This is community, in action. 💪 🏳️‍⚧️

Anybody near-ish to Glasgow fancy doing a bit of hard labour? My knees are not what they used to be, and @darkeden21.bsky.social is built for admin, so we need your help! 🏳️‍⚧️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈📢

If any of our followers are reading this, live in or near Glasgow, and want to help us fill this skip in return for being well fed and watered - please get in touch! 📧 contact@essehouse.co.uk (We will take all the help we can get!)

If you are able to attend - get to the mass lobby at Westminster www.transsolidarityalliance.com/mass-lobby-2026/info

We are totally okay with it being more than £2. Or less. Whatever works!

If every month we asked you for £2, so that we could afford to keep the lights and heat on this winter - would you sort us out with a couple of quid? Yes? Then please consider making a recurring donation on our website: www.essehouse.co.uk/donate

@essehouse.bsky.social give out accessible toilet keys, for free if the applicant needs them to be, to non-binary people who are fed up with being forced into gendered spaces www.essehouse.co.uk

By numerous, we can confirm that it is *hundreds* of keys and personal safety alarms. And not a single transphobe seeking safety and sanctuary from people that make them feel unsafe. Doesnt really fit the narrative. Does it?

We’ve been saying for many years that once they’re done with trans kids it trans adults next, if you didn’t think it’d happen you were wrong. Stockpile your HRT, make plans to escape the UK if you can, if you can’t, join / build community connections like @essehouse.bsky.social

This weekend, we have volunteers from 30 mins away, volunteers from down near Bristol, UK, and two volunteers who have travelled, by far, the furthest to help out... all the way from Oregon, US. Every volunteer who came for a working holiday has played a crucial role in our development so far.

Huge shout-out to @essehouse.bsky.social !!! Their passport program is an absolute godsend. I& was expecting a humiliating process DWP-style but it was easy and kind and the volunteer I& spoke to was so lovely. Please, if you can donate, do. They're doing such great work

Dolly Parton fully proved that investment in communities gave a fantastic return for society.

Our CEO earns £0/year in salary. Our volunteers have their expenses met. Our service users have access to subsidised rates or free access where possible. Everyone involved is directly related to the community it stands to serve. For the community, by the community. 🏳️‍⚧️

The Pee in Peace Program, by @essehouse.bsky.social is open to *anybody* experiencing anxiety and fear using public facilities. We know cis women stand to be challenged more often than trans people, just by sheer probability. Stay safe. Have options. Avoid hostility. essehouse.co.uk/pee-in-peace

Including our first EsseCamp located outside Scotland! Excited? We are!

We had a great weekend in Oban, with @essehouse.bsky.social teaming up with @obanpride.com to deliver a trans and non-binary camping holiday. If you were there, we were the ones giving out free temporary pride tattoos and face-painting :)
