Horrible and also no surprise. The problem is that members of these anti-trans hate groups don't actually believe that being trans is a real thing - because most of them have never knowingly got to know a trans person. So they honestly believe that trans women are men pretending to be women 1/
The EHRC FOI release reveals a disturbing pattern: trans people β especially trans women β are repeatedly framed as inherently dangerous, deceptive, or a safeguarding risk. The EHRC didnβt challenge this once.

Oh, and by the way, given I know a lot of my followers haven't been watching this story?
That trans doctor the Daily Mail article is fixated on?
Did absolutely nothing wrong. Cleared of every charge. Was just living her life, forced to flee the country by NHS bigots and the British media. Yeah.
Here is the BMA saying "we were worried about the FWS case, warned you about the potential health risks associated with the proposed Code of Practice, and now you have gone ahead and implemented policies that will cause serious harm to trans patients and staff'

If Sadiq Khan is a trans ally, why is he allowing JK Rowlingβs Harry Potter to take over the Christmas lights in Oxford Circus? Email him now and ask him to pull the plug on transphobia. goodlaw.social/e1ae3f
Essential grim reading from one of my favourite posters.
You cannot ask people to support political parties that want to erase their existence.
And if you are in such a political party, I hope you're trying really hard to make them stay their hand. You'd better be *really* unpopular with them..
It is incredibly telling, to me at least, how Cameron and May were more progressive on trans rights, and yet even those areas of recognition are being rolled back/completely destroyed by Labour, yet trans and non-binary individuals are ignored, talked over, and told to shut up and support Labour.
βthis government wants trans people and their families to feel safe and accepted in our society.β
I think I can speak for most trans people and their families when I say, they donβt and increasingly they arenβt, precisely because of Labourβs decisions.
How can they believe this stuff they type?
Iβm seeing a lot of posts about talking to your sons in light of the Cornell article.
And yes. Talk to your sons. Here are some things you should say, based on anti-violence research about what they need to hear:
Still gathering signatures, still reaching new people, still receiving largely positive feedback and messages of support. Lots more to do of course but some meaningful activities planned.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2

Heartbreaking VIDEO for all my cis followers on here (please share with any other cis people you may know)
Itβs about Andy Burnhamβs new Transphobic Section 28 in schools and the harm caused to one trans child as a result.
I never say this but I will now;
Please watch donβt scroll.
As a society we must do a better job of listening to disabled people.
As the incomparable Alice Wong used to sayβ¦ weβre oracles.
We can offer a window into what comes next for you and your loved ones.
We have wisdom to share.
We also know how to fight systems of oppression.
if you think the way PBS is framing this issue (see QT below) is a joke, please read & share my latest essay, which flips that framing, exposing its many flaws: juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...
An increasing number of Democratic officials in red and blue states are distancing themselves from their party's unflinching support for the transgender community's policy priorities, such as allowing athletes to compete on teams that match their gender identity. https://to.pbs.org/4xO5rWu
If you believe there are reasonable concerns about trans women in sports, PLEASE read this article and the thread I just reposted. If you're otherwise supportive of trans rights but think this is the one area you have to give ground on, you're being deceived.
www.transresearch.org.au/post/trans-w...
There's this too, which includes the fact that every single U.S. state that's passed laws banning trans athletes has gone on to pass further anti-trans laws, and 27 out of 29 have banned gender-affirming care for trans youth.
It's never really about sport.

When disabled people oppose Assisted Dying, itβs almost never from a religious point of view.
Itβs not because weβre anti-choice or that we want to force people to suffer.
We oppose it because society devalues disabled lives and uses these programs in an unethical manner.
They become eugenics. π§΅
Like so many of the drums people bang in the name ofΒ βprotectingβΒ women it is deeply misogynistic β predicated on the idea that women are, by default and without exception, inferior athletes.
And if pointing out that it's transphobic doesn't stop someone using it, remind them that the British Medical Association described the concept of "biological sex" as "scientifically illiterate".
Something simple trans allies can do, online & in person, is refuse to accept this framing.
Stop using the language of our oppressors! Call out other cis people who use these slurs that dehumanize us!
We are all biological. Android bodies don't exist. And we are the gender we say we are.
"You cannot separate the art from the artist when the art is literally bankrolling the artist's hate campaign" - @jessiegender.bsky.social
100% this. Rowling is an enemy to all us trans folk who just want to live our lives in peace. You cannot claim to be my ally & still support her trash.
in less than 9 minutes @jessiegender.bsky.social summarizes my feelings on the Hairy Poophands reference in Lanterns β from the shattering of immersion to the fact that both are WB properties and they're probs using the one to launder the other
I don't think people understand the extent to which this has been a decade plus long billionaire funded campaign (obviously Thiel is involved). We've tried to ring the alarm about these eugenicists but it is too easy for them to get parroted by the mainstream media.

Transphobes keep asserting that trans rights and women's rights are fundamentally at odds. Further demanding that single sex spaces "remain" only based upon sex assigned at birth, despite the fact that this has never been the case and trans people have been using toilets for decades. 1/π§΅

Absolute clusterfuck of an interview, confirming the new guidance to be an unenforceable pile of shite.
Cis people: if a bigot is kicking off at someone they think is trans in the ladies, your response every single time is "She looks like a woman to me, I have no idea what you're talking about."
The EHRC don't care that it's unworkable. If anything that's a bonus, because when it manifestly fails they can use that as a excuse to bring in even more fascistic anti-trans regulations like preventing trans people from changing gender markers on ID, and swapping back those already changed.
That's already happening in the US of course. Passports that have been correct for decades are being changed back when they expire. That's our trajectory.
Their sick obsession with a tiny minority simply existing and being themselves in a way that harms absolutely no-one is beyond belief.

For the avoidance of doubt, when I call this guidance unenforceable I am NOT suggesting it would be fine if it could be enforced. It would not: it is simply performative cruelty, empowering bigots and vigilantes, in the belief that if everyday life is enough hard for trans people they'll disappear.
The reason that Mary Ann Stephenson can go on TV and essentially admit that enforcing a ban on trans people using the toilet of their choice is unworkable is because it's not about enforcing a ban, it's about creating a climate of fear around trans people.

The Dutch equivalent of Cass, (except itβs a proper scientific review not pseudoscientific drivel like Cass) has wholeheartedly endorsed puberty-blockers and full gender affirming care for young trans people.
Incredible statement from the Church in Wales on the ignominious Code of Practice: "The Church in Wales will not use equality law exemptions to exclude trans people from our worship, our sacraments, our pastoral care, or our common life." www.churchinwales.org.uk/en/news-and-...
@neunion.bsky.social what are you doing about this? In Sept your members will be *forced* to harm trans children. In many cases that harm is going to be very significant & very stressful, & many teachers could be forced to carry high levels of guilt & stress. Especially when (& I mean βwhenβ)β¦

Just had meeting with kiddo's school.
She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years.
All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board.
The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2
