it’s incredible to me that the majority of MPs hate trans people enough that they don’t care that the Supreme Court changed the law from what our sovereign parliament intended it to be

I don’t think anything sums up how ridiculous the new EHRC guidance is than the fact it describes those protected by the characteristic of gender reassignment to be those undergoing a process to “reassign their sex”, a thing the exact same part of the document says isn’t legally possible. Nonsense.

Gender reassignment 2.36 The Act defines gender reassignment as a protected characteristic (section 7, paragraph 1). People who are proposing to undergo, are undergoing or have undergone a process (or part of a process) to reassign their sex by changing physiological or other attributes of sex have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment.Gender Recognition Certificates (GRC) 2.49 The Supreme Court in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers (For Women Scotland) [2025] UKSC 16 has ruled that a GRC does not change a person's legal sex for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010. The judgment held that 'sex', ‘woman' and 'man' mean, respectively, biological sex, biological woman and biological man for the purposes of the Equality Act. The judgment uses the expression 'biological sex' to describe the sex of a person at birth. The phrase 'biological sex' has the same meaning when used throughout this Code. This is also referred to as 'sex at birth' in this Code.

I’m told my acceptance speech upset some of the BBC journalists who were in the room. I said what I said and it’s the truth 🤷‍♀️

I'm honoured to get the Amnesty Award, but honestly this was a group effort. Thanks to the crew, fact-checkers, lawyers, journalists, and the team at Nebula who helped bring this scandal to light. And thanks to @jessothomson.co.uk for collecting the award on my behalf! Here’s my acceptance speech:

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

Trans women has been welcomed at the Women's Institute since the 1970s and one member is in her 80's and has been a member for decades. This is pure bigotry pushed by legal threats backed monetarily by JK Rowling. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Women’s Institute will no longer accept trans women as members from April

Let’s be clear about who is responsible for trans girls being excluded from the Guides. Keir Starmer 100% He could have overturned the injustice of the flawed Supreme Court any time, but CHOSE not to. So he is responsible for these girls being harmed. There’s a word for adults who harm children.

It was only 12 years ago that the coroner at Lucy Meadows' inquest blamed the media for playing a part in her death, hounding her for daring to be a trans woman who was also a teacher. Making trans lives unliveable - making us unhirable - is recent history. www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/may/...

The goal is to humiliate trans people and make our lives unlivable. It's a terror campaign. In the ideal world of these far-right activists, people would be scared to hire a trans person for a job, for instance, for fear of something like this happening.

Alex Says Stuff@alexsaysstuff.bsky.social · 11mo ago

It's always a disingenuous bait-and-switch. Contrive an argument to oppose a specific trans-related thing, then invent a completely different one for the next trans-related thing, and so on. No common theme or consistency but transphobia.
