LGBT+ Lib Dems back calls from Lib Dem MPs to propose amendments to the Equality Act that protect trans rights, and ensure that trans people have a voice in that process.
Lib Dem MP Marie Goldman is right when she says trans rights and women's rights are not in competition.
This has to be agreed cross-party, so please contact your MP and back the Lib Dems in asking for amendments to protect trans rights now.
Dear Minister for Women and Equalities,
Re: Ongoing practical implications of last year's Supreme Court ruling
Following the recent High Court decision concerning the challenge brought by the Good Law Project to EHRC interim guidance, I am writing to express my disappointment at the continued uncertainty surrounding the practical implications of last year’s Supreme Court ruling.
While the Court has ruled on the question of standing in this case, it is clear that the wider issues remain far from settled. Trans, non-binary and intersex people continue to face profound anxiety about what these developments mean for their daily lives. Meanwhile, employers, service providers and public bodies tell us they still lack clear, workable direction about their responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010.
This persistent uncertainty benefits no one. It risks leaving trans or gender non-conforming
people worried about being excluded from facilities they have used for years, and organisations exposed to confusion, legal risk and unnecessary cost. You have repeatedly stated that trans people remain protected from discrimination. Without clear guidance, however, that statement offers little reassurance to those directly affected.
I urge you to bring forward new, workable, and inclusive guidance as a matter of urgency, and to lay any new EHRC code of practice before Parliament so it can be properly scrutinised and debated. There must be a rigorous democratic process, including a free vote, to assess whether the proposals genuinely ensure dignity, safety and inclusion for trans people while upholding the rights of women.
I also urge you to appoint a joint committee of cross-party MPs and peers to conduct post-legislative scrutiny of both the Gender Recognition Act and the Equality Act 2010, takinh evidence from communities who have been impacted including trans people, which will propose any amendments or new legislation it sees as necessary to ensure existing rights are protected.
The Liberal Democrats are clear that everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and free to be who they are. Protecting the rights of women and ensuring dignity and inclusion for trans people are not competing objectives; both are essential to a fair society. Your Department must now provide leadership and certainty to achieve that balance.
I would welcome an update on your timetable for publishing revised guidance and laying it before Parliament, and would be grateful for the opportunity to meet to discuss these matters further.
Yours sincerely, Marie Goldman MP, Liberal Democrats Spokesperson for Women and Equalities.
Trans rights and women's rights are not and never have been in competition. Thank you to Marie Goldman for this excellent letter and your work on this.

I don't even know what the fuck I got spiked with. When I went to the hospital, the doctors never even gave a blood test. I wasted two and a half fucking hours of my time for nothing.

I still feel like shit two days after getting drugged. Is this normal? I wasn't like this the first time I got spiked.

This is true. It completely ruined my night, and I am still dealing with the effects of the drug I was forced to consume.

Lilith just got drugged, assaulted, and became a victim of a transphobic hate crime at the Manchester Academy. We have had to take her to hospital for her safety to be seen.
She is safe. Unfortunately this is the reality of living as trans in 2026; it takes one TERF to fuck it up for everyone else.

...the media in this country can and will rinse that for all it's worth to expand the "incompatibility of human rights", select a "winner" and then use the attacks on the "loser" to undermine the "winner" by turning everything into a zero sum game.

One of the side concerns I have about this BAFTA news cycle is that, as a trans woman living in the UK I can attest to the fact that pitting a clash between a poorly understood oppressed group's human rights and a more culturally legible group's rights, even with it not being a deliberate set up...

I'm not about to let capitalism gaslight me into being a shitty person. You don't think everyone deserves food, shelter, and drinkable water?? That's sad as fuck, maybe you should reevaluate yourself.

Sama’a and three year old Julia standing in front of their home, totally collapsed from the bombs. Julia is in the front, facing left, holding onto a large gray fallen pole of some sort, wearing a pink puffy coat, denim pants and blue sneakers. Sama’a is wearing an oversized white shirt with Mickey Mouse on the front, with a black hooded shirt underneath that is pulled over her head, a black open zip up jacket, and jeans. She is looking into the camera with a meek smile and has her right hand in a peace sign, and holding hands with Julia, who is looking down but toward her mother. She wearing a pink puffy coat, denim pants and blue sneakers
Sama’a and Julia standing in the rubble of their home after Israel’s bombardment. Julia is in the front, holding onto a large gray fallen pole of some sort, wearing a pink puffy coat, denim pants and blue sneakers. Sama’a, her mother, is about six feet back, wearing an oversized white shirt with Mickey Mouse on the front, with a black hooded shirt underneath that is pulled over her head, a black open zip up jacket, and jeans. She is holding up her hands in a peace sign.
Little Julia sitting atop a large pile of debris that was once the contents of their home, before it was bombed. She is two years old in this photo (now 3). She is wearing a dark pink puffy coat, denim pants, with a grey wool hat, her dark curly hair peeking out. She has olive skin, and is looking to the left.
sama’a standing inside of one of the rooms of her house, after it was destroyed by an israeli bombing. she is looking down at the mess of furniture, appliances and other items strewn around the room. to her right, the wall is almost completely gone, providing bright sunlight and a view of the other destroyed buildings nearby.
My home was destroyed in the war, and we lost everything.
This Ramadan, I can't provide food or meet my daughters’ basic needs.
Your support could save my family. 🤲💔
- Sama’a 🤍

Last night's Cryptic Sundays at Grand Central in Manchester kicked absolute ass ^^
Seeing friends I haven't seen in months made it even better, too >^~^<
Though, men did keep staring at my tits through the bar's windows :(
I didn't grow these for you, assholes. Keep your eyes to yourselves.

If you've got some coin, toss some in the plate of trans journalists telling trans stories from trans perspectives, because the corporate media sure as fuck isn't going to do it.
