Solidarity with trans people in Britain today. Fuck the EHRC guidelines.

The fact the guidance literally says that following the guidance may open services/businesses up to legal challenges due to discrimination of protected identifies shows that the government is fully aware that it's not fit for purpose *and* specifically discriminatory

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

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.

The EHRC guidance does not apply to workplaces, and trans people are not criminalised for using any toilet in the UK. But the whole point of this - as with Section 28 back in the 1980s - is to intimidate people. Don't give into that fear.

calling yourself a feminist and then eulogising *Rod Liddle* is truly the brainworm's brainwork

this woman is singlehandedly making her league, its fans, and her fellow players the latest right wing obsession and deserves every one of these boos

Sophie Cunningham is getting booed every time she touches the ball here in Minneapolis

WNBA (the org) courted this. They could have nipped this in the bud, but instead they placated anti-trans activists, so now bigots have glomed onto them. If you don't tell them their opinions are vile and are unwelcome, they will destroy you or leech on you forever. just ask amnesty international

The whole FIFA plan sounded ever so Trumpian from the beginning and its collapse does too.

She’s now paved the way for the anti-abortion and homophobic orgs. I’m sure she’s very pleased with herself

why should we donate to an anti-fascist organisation that won't stand up to fascists? Will their advocacy on behalf of refugees be more effective if everyone knows they can be neutered with a single sufficiently-financed legal threat?

Truly appallingly spineless.

The Women's World Cup is next summer in Brazil. UEFA has 11 of the 32 spots.

Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · 6d ago

UEFA has just unanimously decided to boycott both men's and women's World Cups over FIFA's attempt to sell the global game to private equity. Damn.

if you are bigoted against trans folks you will not stop there and I know it you are either already racist, sexist, or homophobic or you are on your way there and I will not join you for your journey

if youre an asshole about trans people i know your thoughts on being a person are loaded with some real fucked up shit

ashley 🌹@clearlyashley.bsky.social · 7d ago

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

Joni Ernst asks Fauci if it was really his plan to persuade Trump to try to slowing the spread of covid, as though her question is a gotcha and that was a bad course of action

We might as well give it a go.

Jim Callaghan appointed a 'Minister for Drought', and it rained within 36 hours (and led to widespread floods, but a win's a win).

Stop Sex Matters spreading hate! I used the online form to add my voice to this campaign. It took 30 seconds. You can do it too :)

🚨 BREAKING We've filed a complaint to the Charity Commission about Sex Matters, detailing 46 incidents which we think, together, amount to misconduct and mismanagement. But we also need wider action against charities spreading hate - help us tell the government & Commission they must step up 👇
