Just in case you happen to be a trans person, please remember to take absolutely no notice of this unenforceable nonsense as you go about your business today.

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

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

Currently wide awake because it's really hard sleeping on your back for any length of time when the back of your head has been used as a donor site for hair transplantation Unrelated, I've entered my Sinead O'Connor era for a few weeks

When Phillipson claims cis women will be safer by banning trans women from women’s spaces, she is lying. All empirical & real-world data shows this is a lie. Phillipson is a liar, & she is lying about trans people. Making a marginalised minority seem dangerous is in every fascist playbook.

We need you 🏳️‍⚧️ The new Code of Practice comes into force on 5 August. It is harmful. It encourages discrimination. And it will make life so much harder for the trans people in our community. We’re fighting back. But we can’t do it without your support. Will you join us? 👇 goodlaw.social/qmhp

Sat nervously waiting for Masters degree results today - the OU generally release them a day earlier than they state, which would be today. Espresso martinis on standby to either commiserate or celebrate with

@labourlewis.bsky.social states that Reform would build an "intolerant and repressive country" whilst ignoring the very same thing his own Government are doing to trans people. I wish banning displays was the only thing the trans community had to worry about. Do better, Clive. You're no ally.

Clive Lewis MP@labourlewis.bsky.social · 4w ago

Reform-led Norfolk County Council banning Pride displays and events across the county’s libraries. What we see here is a glimpse at the kind of intolerant and repressive country they would build if ever they formed a government. This then is but a starter. The main course would be even darker.

Question for the hive mind: I have a collection of Soul Source dilators that I don't need (the 3 smaller sizes). WTF do I do with them? I don't need them, & they're expensive, & someone could get use from them, but still....you know. Curious to know how others redistributed their unnecessaries.
