It's like the government claiming that legislation passed 16 years ago means it's been illegal to let blue cars into car parks this whole time, and their only comment is, "We expect owners of blue cars to comply."

Big shout out to all the people who were mad at me for not wanting them to vote labour cause they were “certain labour will be better on trans rights than the tories“, they couldn’t have done it (segregation) without you
meanwhile, the anti-trans lobby has gone straight from "we won't need toilet police" to "the toilet police will need much more funding" without missing a beat bsky.app/profile/hlee...
Absolute state of Falkner and Reindorf in the Times today
wild way to frame one of the most aggressively anti-trans bathroom bans in the developed world
Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Mass Lobby for Trans Equality - 9th September 2026
The law around trans equality is fundamentally broken. Government inaction is hanging trans people and organisations out to dry - with a confusing mess of challenging rules and lawfare.

We have an increasing number of folks offering services around the kind of social technology that the Atmosphere can help build. Congrats to @kandake.africa on launching with @eskahlay.com
After AtmosphereConf I was hit with the realization that I couldn't continue working in corporate tech where I had could not see the impact of my or the companies work on communities. I've started a new venture, Eskahlay, rooted in my nubian culture to build sustainable community technology.
“my aim is to produce a guide—visual and written—of immediate use to folks who’d like to do things on the internet without being stuck in maximally corrupt systems, but who aren’t plugged into at-proto stuff enough to know or care about any given project purely because of its use of the protocol”
I would like to bring more of the fruits of the AT Protocol to the people who don't care about protocols, which is most people. www.wrecka.ge/launching-a-...
A short thread explaining trans exclusion in the law, and the Code of Practice, in response to a load of questions 🧵 Obviously this is necessarily simplified. I cannot write a legal textbook on Bluesky.
"Give him more than a week" say the people who have not been segregated from society, while he rolls out even more anti-trans policies and gives positions of power to people who hate us.
"This is distressing to trans people as well as those of us within the profession who continue to support trans patients.”
Reporting about British Medical Association critique of Cass Review was 'factually wrong'
The mainstream media's reporting of vital information about trans healthcare was wrong. Again.

If you are quote-posting a story you don’t like from an outlet that constantly provokes you…you are executing their marketing strategy.
The biggest difficulty for trans rights – the general public seems to believe the new guidance makes it possible to exclude eg trans women from women's services in some circumstances. No. This was the previous position. The current guidance requires their exclusion, always, regardless of context.

150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.
The official government response to London Trans Prides message to Andy Burnham from the end of various articles: A Government spokesperson said: ‘The Government is committed to protecting the rights, dignity and safety of all LGBT+ people. 🧵 (me- this is simply insulting)
