This is my anonymised account as, due to being stalked and trolled, I’ve had to suspend social media accounts where my details appear publicly. One day things may be different, but not while our courts and govt appease, promote & protect fascist “beliefs”.

Today is 5 August 2026, a day of shame for the UK and the UK Labour Party in particular. This is the day the UK government brings into force the UK Equality and Human Rights Commission’s new guidance on the provision of services. translucent.org.uk/the-labour-p...

The situation in the UK right now is not normal, and hasn't been for some time. There are some signs that this is starting to reverse, but the international audience is seeing this and working out how they can support the fight, because they know they can't let the hatred spread.

Helen Belcher@helenbelcherobe.bsky.social · 9h ago

A really helpful piece which reminds me what it was like transitioning over 20 years ago, and how much community has been built since then. And while governments and their agencies might let us down, I'm at an international event right now hearing just how much of the hate comes from the USA/UK.

A new essay for all my trans siblings and our allies. "As the UK enters a new era of state-mandated segregation, I find myself asking: was it all worth it?"

🚨We have written to all MP's expressing our anger at the government. Our rights WILL be restored. Our voices WILL be heard. We will continue to fight 🏳️‍⚧️✊

Got to be honest. I am really disappointed @TheGreenParty are not LOUDLY condemning trans apartheid today - the biggest attack on LGBT rights in UK history. Over the last eight years, I’ve seen the Gender Critical intimidate everyone from Stonewall to Labour into silence.

IndiaWilloughby@indiawilloughby.bsky.social · 18h ago

The persecution and state sponsored demonisation of trans people in the UK is real. Banning and humiliating us will have zero impact on the number of girls and women who are attacked. Please check: There is not ONE recorded case of a trans woman assaulting a c!s woman in a public lav in the UK.

I’ve written to the Mayor of London: “I urge you now to work with councils across London to support their efforts to make sure the (EHRC) guidance cannot be used to diminish the everyday rights of 🏳️‍⚧️ trans Londoners and to seek the wider adoption of these approaches across our city.” [1/3]

Letter to the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan. Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) Code of Practice for Service providers, Public Functions and Associations I am writing following our conversation at Mayor’s Question Time (12 June 2026) where I raised concerns about the distress and anxiety trans Londoners tell me they are feeling following the publication of the revised Code of Practice for service providers and associations by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). You told me that your “priority is to ensure London remains a city where everyone, regardless of gender identity, can thrive, feel safe and belong.” [1] You'll be aware that this week, on 5 August 2026, the Government's updated EHRC Code of Practice comes into effect, following an order from the Minister for Women and Equalities. Trans led organisations, such as Trans Actual, have maintained that the Code remains unworkable; it does not protect trans people, it does not help service providers and it does not respect the UK’s human rights obligations. [2] Despite cross party condemnation, with 166 MPs signing Early Day Motion (EDM) 240, tabled by Nadia Whittome MP, in an effort to halt this discriminatory guidance, there has been no debate in Parliament. The government's own Equality Impact Assessment admits that this code of practice would have wide-ranging negative impacts on Trans people and that Trans women could face a "disproportionate risk of violence and sexual assault.” [3] page 2 I would like to know what work you and your Deputy Mayors have been doing, since we spoke about this in June, to prepare for the changes coming into effect on 5 August. Londoners need to know how you intend to uphold the rights of trans people and support service providers to remain trans inclusive. As an elected London politician, I am particularly concerned because London has the highest proportion of people in England whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth. [4] These are people in our community, work colleagues, neighbours, friends and family members, who should be able to participate in public life without fear of being outed, harassed or discriminated against at work or in public when using a toilet or changing room. Lambeth Council recently announced that it would challenge the implementation of the Draft Code of Practice on Services, Public Functions and Associations. Councillors backed a motion condemning the draft code as “incoherent and self-contradictory, discriminatory, and impossible to implement in a reasonable and proportionate manner.” [5] The motion called on the council to protect LGBTQIA+ workers and service users by refusing to implement the guidelines should legal advice confirm that such a move would be lawful. When we spoke at MQT in June, you said “the GLA will continue to work closely with boroughs, service providers, community organisations and partners to ensure our services remain welcoming, safe and appropriate.” [6] I urge you now to work with councils across London to support their efforts to make sure the guidance cannot be used to diminish the everyday rights of trans Londoners and to seek the wider adoption of these approaches across our city. This is about Trans people's right to exist in society free from abuse, discrimination and segregation, with the autonomy to be who they know themselves to be.

Rod Liddle spent years spouting divisive and hateful rhetoric - turning other people’s lives into clickbait, culture wars and newspaper copy for money. Now the privileged media class are passing judgment from the safety of their TV studios and opinion pages on the very people who he targeted

Ben Goldacre @bengoldacre.bsky.so... • 14h Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind. 529 1 263 37 ••• Leo Enright @ollopa11.bsky.social • 13h I am saddened by the tone of commentary in this place about my former BBC colleague. The level of vitriol seems more suited to the other place. I worked with Rod at the Today programme. He took no prisoners, but he was witty and personally capable of genuine warmth. My sympathy to his family. 233 1 51 7 •• •DO YOU THINK THE OWL IS A PREDATOR? OF COURSE NOT. HE'S NEVER BOTHERED ME. EXACTLY. NO IDEA WHAT MR. MOUSE WAS GOING ON ABOUT.

The GCs won on this and they're still miserable. Complaining that the apology didn't go far enough and that Amnesty sent a separate email to their supporters apologizing to them. No matter what you do, you will never appease them. They're a miserable group of bigots.

Amnesty International has now issued a public groveling apology to JK Rowling's organization and has pulled her another report documenting the anti rights platform of gender critical organizations. www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...
