I want to ask reporters what else exactly they want from Beth Upton. They wanted her booted out of female changing rooms, they got it. They wanted her on trial for misconduct, they got it, she was found totally blameless. They wanted her publicly named and shamed in the media, they got it…
NHS England claim "privacy, dignity and respect" when talking about their new guidance on single-sex accommodation in hospitals. However, their own *unpublished* impact assessment says otherwise. Read the assessment and don't keep it a secret, share it with your MP.
New NHS England guidance on hospital accommodation risks making an already difficult experience even harder for trans+ people.
As women, we know how it feels when our concerns aren't heard or our needs aren't taken seriously. We wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Well this bizarre, unnecessary, cruel and prejudiced guidance has already take one directly accountable life!
It must go, and the vile prejudiced legal rail that brought us to this.
NHS killed 27 year old trans women due to not having a single room bed for her despite her pleading to be placed on a male ward for treatment.
Read share, write to your MP and donate.

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
At its core transphobia is a rejection of trans identities or the belief that trans people should not be visible and able to participate in public life.

Since Senegal’s anti-LGBT+ bill was passed into law, the situation has worsened. No one should face imprisonment just for being who they are. Sign to repeal this law. a.allout.org/s/Pa3jX/
Great to see today the @libdems.org.uk vote overwhelmingly to restore trans rights in the UK.
@rebeccajones03.bsky.social was one of those to speak during the conference.

Trans people deserve equality. I'm joining the mass lobby on 9th September. The government wants us to accept laws that are broken quietly. We won’t. www.transsolidarityalliance.com/mass-lobby-2...
Amazing artwork, and excellent comic strip detailing how @amnestyuk.bsky.social have caved to a SLAPP campaign against them, simply because they spoke up for a marginalised community.
ANTI-TRANS = ANTI-RIGHTS
When Phillipson claims cis women will be safer by banning trans women from women’s spaces, she is lying.
All empirical & real-world data shows this is a lie.
Phillipson is a liar, & she is lying about trans people.
Making a marginalised minority seem dangerous is in every fascist playbook.
The hype around Lia Thomas was a manufactured moral panic, full of false claims of trans people stealing awards from cis women.
Science backs up that we do not hold an advantage. So, even if a trans person dominated their sport, this would not be a reason for exclusion. It just means she is good
The 'panic' around Lia Thomas was about creating a target people could point at while demanding exclusion. So much of what people “know” about Lia comes from manufactured outrage and years of misinformation repeated without context.
We commissioned this comic to break down the actual story. 1/2
Reposting this;
Labour’s new schools’ “Section 28” for trans kids should really be called Labour’s “Ambient Conversion Therapy”.
It is way, way worse than Section 28 ever was.
We must never allow anyone to forget Starmer’s & Philippson’s culpability (& Burnham’s if he fails to change it).
We stand with Amnesty International UK. Freedom of expression isn't a one-way street. If organisations demand the right to criticise others, they must also accept the right to be criticised. Read our statement on why this matters for democracy and human rights.
Important takeaways:
- The anti-trans movement has access to hundreds of millions of $
- The vast majority of this funding comes from the Christian right, American organisations, and anti-women groups
- When we were saying this as far back as 2019 we were called conspiracy theorists
So far Burnham has avoided all key litmus issues, including;
-Gaza
-free speech/protest
-trans people’s human rights/government transphobia
-taxing the rich/media reform
-fair votes/PR
-Brexit
-immigration/asylum/government racism
-undoing the social media ban
-zero-hours/gig economy/AI threats
“These are not small side-issues. They directly affect the lives of millions. Brits who, say, are married to someone on a visa route, or have trans family, will also be impacted. Taken together, the country is a much, much more illiberal place than it was two years ago.”
I certainly won't. My red lines:-
Amend the Equality Act to make it trans inclusive again.
Rejoin the EU
Condemn what Israel is doing in Gasa, Syria & Lebanon.
So absolutely NO CHANCE!
Tech billionaires are getting richer while we pay the price for the real-world harm their platforms cause. The "neutral host" loophole lets them off the hook for pushing dangerous content. MPs are demanding emergency laws to make them pay. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...
@stonewalluk.bsky.social You should be ashamed that activism like this against your actions is happening.
It time you lived up to very history of your name.
Suprised I haven't seen this on here- couldn't find it with a quick search so I'm uploading it.
Activists going into Stonewalls office to hold them to account over recent statements.

EDM 240 is now at 142 signatures which is the most supported EDM since 2021, the next milestone is 151. Keep pushing this, if you haven't already email your MP. If your MP is a Labour MP it maybe worth reminding them that over 70 MPs that have signed are from their party.
EDM 240 to reject the draft Code of Practice now has 63 signatures. We all need to keep pushing this.
We need everyone to write to their MP. Regardless of their positions on trans rights. If they choose to ignore our voices, at least we will have the receipts.

Two of the three judges who will hear her appeal of her lost appeal, of her lost appeal, of her lost case against Stonewall, were judges on the FWS case.

We need to start getting trans people and allies together to start planning civil disobedience in different local areas, targeting venues/organisations that operate a trans-exclusionary policy. Civil disobedience needs to be thought out carefully to achieve maximum effectiveness.
Juliet Jacques on Labour's Section 28:
"Civil disobedience and trans organisation will flush this contemptible code down the toilet of history, and we can push for a full inquiry into how the EHRC became captured by transphobic fanatics and ask how we can safeguard such bodies [...] in future."
I just don't know anyone can have faith in justice prevailing atm. Constantly, over and over again, the most brazenly unjust, irrational bullshit thing happens and then we just move onto the next one
I recorded this the morning after Bridget Philipson laid the updated EHRC guidance before parliament at the last minuet before recess so as to see it gets minimum scrutiny. This guidance is still transphobic and that this government is doing this is shameful.
Lets hold the Government to its promise! No new oil and gas in our seas. Offshore drilling causes hundreds of toxic spills, deafens whales, and won't even lower our energy bills. It's time to stop letting Big Oil profit at the expense of our ocean. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...
