This is it? No comment from your party leader? No criticism of the prejudice/hate that trans people face? No trans voices from your party mentioned?

When I first went to get my driving licence changed a worker at the DVLA rejected it and forged my handwriting to claim I had a disability that prevents me from driving. Whenever I tell cis people about this they invariably tell me 'well you should have disclosed it'. Even though I don't have it

& when you say "no, it means in the pub trans people can't use either men or women's toilets" there's this kinda blank stare you get the same thing describing republican policy in the simplest terms: people just don't believe you because it sounds nuts

I know folks mean well however repeating the idea that "trans rights are not in opposition to women's rights" feeds subconsciously into the idea that trans women aren't really women. Trans women's right are women's rights.

The Green Party's lack of an official statement on the EHRC code coming into effect today and instead posting this is incredibly tone deaf. You should know better than to take the votes of marginalised groups for granted, you WILL lose support if you continue to sweep trans people under the rug.

There a million things wrong with the EHRC guidance, as you all know, but for me the weirdest thing about it all is that its authors don't even seem to be aware of the possibility that someone asked to leave a "single sex" facility might refuse.

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.

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.

Photo taken at a protest, he background is tall old buildings of a city centre, a lightskined hand is holding a sign with a trans flag painted on it that says "fuck your "respect and clarity""

By targeting women and girls born trans the EHRC are state funded lobbyists for Moscow and Washington and Riyadh and the Vatican. They are importing and implementing religious law used as a geopolitical tool to subjugate all women!

Our resistance to your code of practice, which promotes segregation and forced exclusion of trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming people, comes into force today. Already we're sharing practical guidance on how to disrupt any service, public function and association implementing your bigotry.

If you were a notable neo-Nazi, and you are trying to do better, that is good; but if you do not understand that "I will no longer seek power over anyone other than myself" is an essential part of that redemption you are not redeemed at all. You're still a fucking Nazi.

Lot of cis people still dont see trans people being forced out of public spaces as segregation and i urge them to wake the fuck up and read a history book as well as a dictionary Its *literally* segregation If you think even saying it is bad, you should be angry its actually happening

Woke up not really sure if I'm up to going to the gym. Then I remembered it's Segregation Day and I'm fucked if I'm going to miss the first opportunity to stick two fingers up to Andy "Genocide" Burnham. We're going to see Spidey later and I'll be drinking lots of water before that too

Happy segregation day everyone. I have no doubt this government (and Starmer) will eventually be remembered for their awful human rights abuses. Take care if you’re out and about today - there will be GCs around actively looking to ruin our day. Hopefully they’ll end up targeting each other! 🤞

If you’re trans and someone questions you, you don’t have to tell them anything you don’t owe them anything and they could be committing and offence if they harass you. Same with service providers get the name, document. Stay safe and complain later

EHRC 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.
