I make businesses work better. I inspire people to see they can do things they never thought possible. I advocate for equal rights. I counsel and help female founders grow their businesses. I'm doing the same myself.

If they are going after you it doesn't prove you are getting it right; but if they are not going after you it does prove you are getting if wrong.

Congratulations to @transsolidarity.bsky.social for this characteristically incoherent hit piece from The Times. archive.ph/2025.11.02-2...

NHS Children and Young People’s Gender Service Specification - NHS England - Citizen Space This site contains surveys and consultations that are run by NHS England.

🚨We need your help. The NHS CYP gender service is consulting on the draft specification and it closes on Sunday. This is, sadly horrifically being driven by non experts in the field of gender incongruence and based upon the much-discredited Cass Review 1/

the EHRC is not fit for purpose and flies in face of all the Paris Principles and GANHRI warnings over many years. It doesn't even have a required quorum to operate or make any decisions!

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents.

I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights.

Clearly she reverted to CG/SM stories of 'well women want their rights too'. Her intention is clear. A democracy known to be that by the protection of minorities, not the dogma of a majority - and in this case an invented majority.

I feel the time is approaching therefore for the UK to be red-flagged as a State engaging in steps tending towards Cultural Genocide for the purposes of the definitions used by these well respected early warning systems.

This is why it's important that we collect people's responses. If you can, when you've completed the "consultation", please send your answers to TransActual - policy@transactual.org.uk - so we can ensure that government sees your answers. 1/2

I’ve tabled NC122 to the Crime and Policing Bill to make hate crimes against people because of their sexual orientation, transgender identity or disability an aggravated offence. We must treat these offences with the seriousness they deserve. Please ask your MP to sign NC122.

UCU calls for staff rights to use facilities matching gender identities It follows the Supreme Court ruling last month that the word β€˜woman’ in the Equality Act 2010 refers to a biological woman.

β€œWe refuse to allow trans people to be the collateral of a right-wing culture war and while they continue to experience violence at home, in the workplace and on the airwaves, we will stand by them": bravo @ucu.org.uk. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

JK Rowling makes enthusiastic use of her expensive lawyers, Schillings, to silence those who speak out against her war on trans people. But I shan't be bullied by her billions.

Speaking at rallies around the country I as have, being present in many business events and networks, and simply engaging with shopowners and others on the street, I assure you the public remains overwhelming tolerant. Everyone thinks the current situation is nuts.

Me too. I know the threat has receded for the moment, but if they revoke my passport with F marker, then at 69 years old I will have lived long enough not to find any desire in being forced to live in an identity that is not me. I too will put an end to me if they tell me to use M. I will not be M.

The bus was May 1st elections and act of triage for Labour to get through them without, as the Chief of Staff would have said, giving Reform another stick to beat Labour over the head with. That many Labour ministers and others felt no qualms beating up an inoffensive minority is shameful. No morals

1/ If this was a new report saying puberty blockers cause irreversible harm -splashed across The Times etc with @BBCNews running umpteen β€˜debates.’ But bcs it says the exact opposite - UK news blackout.
The ONLY studies which claim PBs are dangerous are written by quacks, or pseudo-medical fronts
