🚨🚨Today the EHRC Code of Practice goes live. Our voices have been ignored. We will not stand for this. We will not stop until our rights are restored. The CoP does not change the law. Inclusion can happen. The vast majority of the public do not want this. WE WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT 🏳️⚧️✊♥️

These messages are from UK women who know that behind every headline is a human being who deserves kindness, dignity and joy. We hope these words bring even a small moment of comfort to trans+ people in the UK today. 💗 #WithTheT #NotInOurName
Good morning. Welcome to the UK, where our equalities watchdog has a handy guide on how to hatecrime people you don’t like the look of in public toilets and the Tories are standing a Neo-Nazi local government candidate who was jailed for antisemitic harassment.
Just a reminder that: - this isn't for workplaces and if your work is trying to implement it scare them over discrimination claims - the onus is on the service provider, not the service user to comply - the code *itself* says enforcement of toilet facilities is unworkable and low priority
Slurms MacKenzie@slurmsmackenzie.bsky.social · yesterdayEHRC Code of Practice comes into effect today so remember to be an absolute pain in the arse to any service provider who is trying to actively enforce it.
It was just a piss, how did it end up like this? I will not comply!
Trans Pride Brighton@transpridebrighton.bsky.social · 2d agoThe new transphobic EHRC guidance comes in to effect tomorrow. This is just a little reminder that we do NOT comply, from your friends at Trans Pride Brighton 😘 You can’t legislate the trans away! #ehrc #transphobia

No parliamentary debate. No new or amended law. Ludicrous biblical sex segregation imposed without any due process, at enormous financial and social cost, and to what end?
Transgender World@transgenderreport.com · 23h agoNearly 13,000 toilets and more than 5,000 changing rooms may need changing under the Supreme Court ruling www.independent.co.u... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA
Oh no! Poor “women”, (by which the Times means “transphobes”) totally on their own! And against one of the poorest, most marginalized & disempowered minorities in the country, with only the help of the entire mainstream media & £ millions in donations from wealthy fascists and billionaires!
The EHRC guidance comes into place today, & the UK trans community has no idea what is going to be implemented where, how forcefully, or by who. Keep your options open, mitigate for the worst outcomes, & stay safe in uncertain times. Free, if you need them to be www.essehouse.co.uk/pee-in-peace...

Xander King@xanderking.bsky.social · 22h agoBetter yet, do this AND set up a monthly donation if you can, which is something I’ve only just realised you can do 🙂. Practical and essential support for people victimised by our sh*tty government.

As a human rights law academic, I'm ashamed of this country today and I'm ashamed of our supposed equality commission.
Equality and Human Rights Commission@equalityhumanright.bsky.social · 22h agoOur 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
REMEMBER The guidance coming into effect today doesn't dictate what you're allowed to do as an individual. It for service providers and business owners. Do not cower in fear, do not reduce yourself, do not isolate, that is one of the intended effects.

Heading up to Trans Pride Manchester today,flying solo.Please come say hi and if you are so inclined a big hug as I’m pushing through major anxiety today.Thank you to the wonderful @melody-fair.bsky.social for agreeing to meet up with me.Added a pic of today’s outfit if you want to look out for me.
In the office today, bag placed proudly on my desk- I wonder if I’ll get an email from HR from complaints…….
1. Do not get angry with Jess for putting this out there. 2. We must not become despondent & give up. Piling on lots of nasty stuff at the same time shows that is what Burnham wants. 3. There are a whole load of reasons/ways to keep resisting however. This will cost Labour the next election.
Jess O'Thomson@jessothomson.co.uk · last wk.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.

“Every single person who marched today is proof that we are not going anywhere, that our joy is louder than their hate, and that London Trans+ Pride will keep fighting, keep loving and keep growing until every trans person is safe, seen, and free.” Solidarity with all marching for trans justice. 🏳️⚧️
150,000 march through London in world’s largest trans pride, organisers say
Protesters voiced anger at the new guidance on single sex-spaces and fears that trans people are being excluded from society.

Today I did a thing… I got this tattoo to celebrate coming out and finally being myself. It’s a love letter to myself and to those I love in the community. #pridemonth #lwiththet #comingout #lesbian #transally
1/ As things stand with Emily right now, she has one year of college left. We are yet to meet with the college to discuss things. As Emily’s course is sports and personal training it essential that she can eat and drink. This is something I know she won’t do if she can’t use the right facilities.

An entire weekend with my amazing girlfriend and trans pride Brighton!!! Don’t mind if I do 🥰🏳️⚧️.
Reposting this; Labour’s new schools’ “Section 28” for trans kids should really be called Labour’s “Ambient Conversion Therapy”. It is way, way worse than Section 28 ever was. We must never allow anyone to forget Starmer’s & Philippson’s culpability (& Burnham’s if he fails to change it).

This whole injustice with Heather should be a wake-up call to all of you in the UK trans and non-binary community. What "the law" *is* doesn't matter. How the law is applied and who it is applied to, does. 1/4
