"On 6 May, the BMA's own review was published. It said that the government's actions went beyond the recommendations of the Cass Review, and that the Review provided no evidential basis for a puberty blocker ban." www.wearequeeraf.com/exclusive-re...
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.

I’m launching the paperback edition of Breaking: How the Media Works, When it Doesn’t, and Why it Matters on September 1 at The Book Elephant in Elephant & Castle. I’m very lucky to have Juliet Jacques joining me for the Q+A. 🎟️ Ticket details coming very soon.
What a ridiculous and absurd situation the small-c conservative lobby groups have created. How much scrutiny was ever needed to pee and wash your hands? None.
Caroline Russell@carolinerussell.bsky.social · 2d agoI’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]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y72k4zijlsi47z7wk262cv24/bafkreifzyqhohvnimtn7f55trm54cbxvwqcjjxkmdfuq74twtvtyacufaq)

Mumsnet TERFs on Rod Liddle: "Yeah fair enough. If he said that I can’t defend it. Still enjoyed most of his writing though. And I still think a lot of it was tongue in cheek agitating to stir up the liberals." No depth is too low for them.
There’s an answer to this: He was “one of them” and therefore a “real person” rather than all the disabled and queer people he attacked. We don’t count. So the fact he hit women and perved on children is more acceptable than the rest of us having an opinion…
A Mere Solicitor@ameresolicitor.bsky.social · 2d agoIf “he took no prisoners” then why should any of the many people he targeted in life be expected to? Seriously; why is the rich, racist, white misogynist who was homophobic, transphobic and a bully while telling everyone that he wanted to sleep with 14 year old children, entitled to priority?

Earl Haig was an Edinburgh gadgie, Winston Churchill was a half-American alcoholic, the British Empire was the main Slavery player in the World. In WW1 the UK Royal Family was German and waged War, against their German, First Cousins. Agreed, more history facts needed!

Just showing what a mess this government has made of the UK’s Terrorism laws. Terrorism offences have reason by over 1000% More than 1,850 hearings were listed in Westminster court on Thursday and yet the government (and the Met) insist in continuing with pointless arrests
Defend Our Juries@defendourjuries.bsky.social · 4d agoAMAZING MOMENT A woman came back still wearing a custody tshirt having been released for a terrorism arrest. While being arrested for declaring support for Palestine Action a second time, another woman came back to do the same. The opposition to this ban cannot be contained.
“Gender-critical” transphobia is fascism. Transphobes don’t want to “protect women & children”, they just hate trans people. There are no “gender-critical beliefs” just hatred. They are just a rhetorical cover for hate. They are certainly not in any way “worthy of respect” in a democratic society.

This thread contains the Amnesty report that got pulled due to legal threats by JK Rowling & Co. It's really worth a read, it's not long and gives a great overview of the deeply conservative organisations hard at work right now. btw: ADF fund Christian Concern, the group behind Darlington Nurses 🤔
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 4w agoAmnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
*whispers* That’s because it’s the original Supreme Court ruling that is the problem. The Code of Practice is trying to put googly eyes and a smile on a turd

I hope the penalties outweigh the risks to the companies if they try to circumvent this. They'll find a way if there's a way to be found.

Received wisdom is that Burnham’s trans segregation policies will mean trans becoming less visible in society. Consequently I have decided to become more visible and more in people’s faces over the next few months/years.
