The EHRC Equality Act guidance based on flawed SC ruling comes into effect today. Its own impact assessment says that Trans women in particular will be at greater risk of sexual & domestic violence as a result🤷🏻‍♀️ The guidance will encourage Trans exclusion & affect access to services for all people…

🚨🚨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 🏳️‍⚧️✊♥️

However vile he was & however much harm Liddle has caused to trans people, what he did pales into insignificance in comparison with what @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social, @lucympowell.bsky.social & @andyburnham.bsky.social are doing to trans people. They are the ones who will be remembered like Thatcher.

"I said it's a bold move by Reform to use the Navy to return migrants. What did I say Roy?" "You said it's an unworkable load of bollocks designed to win back some racist numbskulls from Rupert Lowe and distract attention from Farage's £5m bung"

Maybe you've had a cat that liked to nibble on fruit, or enjoy a sweet treat, but I am sorry to say that the research on this is pretty clear: cats can't taste sweet. As with *everything* in science, this is subject to revision with new data. Let's review the existing evidence!

Just because someone hates trans people, that doesn’t mean they like women. It means they know how to hate.

Ban all supermarkets from throwing away edible food and require donation petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75... Ok, we're not France. We're a Monarchy, so it won't get the signatures. But we do have to adapt to Droughts and this should be an integral part of any Plan by Burnham on Homelessness

Here’s a bit of the Manifesto we could do with Burnham honouring, oh it seems the promises on the Gender Recognition Act have been forgotten… Make no mistake this Labour Govt can easily correct the misinterpretation of the Equality Act by the Supreme Court, only they choose NOT to !

Here’s a wild idea, Andy! Why don’t you do the things that WERE in the manifesto! Like all the improvements to trans people’s lives that you promised.

I’m not stopping Kevin from working. I’m simply adding an extra level of difficulty. Kevin has the look of a man who’s accepted that arguing with a ginger cat is a battle he’ll never win. 🧡🐈

The cognitive dissonance of this woman is staggering 🧐 "I do harm, I'm not very good but what about me"!!!! 😱 She will be remembered for Trans Section 28 and the Labour Toilet Ban forever, what a dreadful legacy 👿

The Daily Telegraph has raced through all five stages of climate denial this week. But this is, perhaps, the most ridiculous column so far: "Without minimising the severe downsides…especially on some poorer nations, many in Britain would enjoy the kind of warmer climate predicted by modellers..."

Unison, Aslef, Usdaw, and the Musicians’ Union will not attend the Labour Women’s Conference over the decision to ban trans women from formal proceedings at the event. This is what solidarity looks like! 💜

The arch wankpuffin Philp manages to stumble into the French doing a practice exercise, tomorrow’s harrowing adventure - stepping in some dog muck ! Begs the question what the BBC are doing engaging with this confected right wing posturing about immigration…🙄

In the meantime, take your kids here. They have a FANTASTIC tour, absolutely stunning. It's worth every penny. Exiting live "lectures" for kids, play with space toys, look at astronaut stuff. Bliss. And it's a lovely area too - go to Old Hall in Sandbach for dinner afterwards. You'll thank me.

Trans people have a right to the same healthcare we all need

Across the country, trans people are being denied vital healthcare that has nothing to do with their gender identity – simply because they are trans.

Night night, sweet dreamies. 🧡 Not every thought deserves to be believed, especially the unkind ones. Your mind is incredibly powerful. Let it be a place that protects you, encourages you, and reminds you of your worth… not one that tells you otherwise.

An estimated 150,000 trans people and their allies showed up for Trans Pride in London yesterday. Phenomenal!

@novaramedia.com on Burnham’s flip-flopping transphobia; this reveals his most pathetic side. Looks like he is not going to stand up for a marginalized minority against the powerful forces of the mega-rich & hard right. On his watch the UK will become the most transphobic “liberal”“democracy”.
