Just the biggest setback to equality in the UK. Read TransActual’s segregation report and if you’re a woman who considers it a disgrace and want to see a more compassionate approach, please consider signing the @nionwomen.bsky.social letter. Men can share it too
“In response to receiving this document, I did what the FA clearly haven’t: I actually spoke to trans men and transmasculine people
Every single one said they disagreed with the way the declaration was worded.”
I wrote about the FA banning trans men on the sly 👇

There is no clash between women's rights and trans rights that wasn't already appropriately addressed by the EA 2010. If there was a legitimate reason for a woman with, eg, a penis to be excluded from a service, this could be done.
Of all things, a Guardian article sets this out very well: 2/
The BBC just printing Maya Forstater lying through her teeth. Zero evidence of any assaults by trans people in bathrooms. Plenty of evidence of assaults by GCs.
the prophecy was spoken 🥹
the member of staff who needs to check if u have a penis but not in a Rude Manner
We brought to the Supreme Court the voices it cruelly excluded. goodlawproject.org/the-supreme-...
Wes Streeting sat in a room with trans kids and their parents pleading with him to make affirming healthcare accessible, while they told him harrowing stories of self-harm and suicide (one teen had TWO trans friends who had taken their lives).
A week later he banned puberty blockers! 😖

It shows that they are aware of the public pressure and that sneaking out bigotry on a Friday evening got them noticed.
So, time to write to your MP again and tell them that the EHRCs response is piss poor and that you expect them to hold the EHRC to account:

We believe the Supreme Court has placed the UK in breach of its obligations under the Human Rights Act.

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform.
This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.
Trans women have never felt like a threat www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
It will not come as shock to those of you who know us on BlueSky but my favorite part about IBD is that all recommendations are 20% off. Which means I'll land all my "this book will rewrite your understanding of language" or "this book peels layers off your brain" recs with "AND TODAY it's 20% off!"
Bloody hell even Rory Stewart thinks the Supreme Court judgement is wrong.
Listening to the rest is politics.
Alistair Campbell has said that this now states trans people don’t exist. He hates the sneering of the JK Rowling side who are gloating in glee and misgendering people.
Over 1300 British writers, including Michaela Coel, have signed an open letter expressing their solidarity with the trans community after the UK Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex.

For people wondering why the UK's Equality And Human Rights Commission is acting counter to human rights, I'll c+p a combination of threads from a couple of years ago.
They cover the systemic attack on many marginalised communities by idealogues trying to dismantle human rights law.

That is also not true, by the way?
Para 236 pretty explicitly lays out how bouncing trans men from a women's space wouldn't count as sex discrimination, owing to their "masculine attributes".
The opinion is hypocritical and happy to enforce a double standard for the sake of upholding cissexism.
JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.
I started tracking paper numbers on 16 April 2024. On 14 April 2025, with one day left to complete the year, the total for the Telegraph, Times, Mail, and Guardian/Observer stands at 1,074 articles about trans people, nearly all of which were attacks and barely any with quotes from a trans person
1. Major news in transgender care.
Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.
They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the
Cass Review in England.
Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper...
But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?
Weird how Cass was splashed worldwide, but multiple countries produce reviews that all rubbish Cass and come to completely different conclusions (namely that PBs are effective and as safe for trans kids as cis) yet you wouldn't know about them if you weren't online and following people like Erin
Our work began with information gathering. The fruits of that labor is a list of 28 ”safer“ countries for trans people who are considering migration. We will roll out information about each of these over the next few months in this thread. We hope you find this information useful. 🧵

If you’re not trans and you believe believe yourself to be a progressive ally type of person I highly recommend you read up on a prison practice called “v-coding” because with any luck it will make you physically ill and shock you to the point of action
