A reminder that cis women can sign the @nionwomen.bsky.social pledge to show they stand with our trans sisters and brothers here in the UK.

These messages are from UK women who know that behind every headline is a human being who deserves kindness, dignity and joy. We hope these words bring even a small moment of comfort to trans+ people in the UK today. 💗 #WithTheT #NotInOurName

On Valentines Day this year, women across the UK sent us messages of love, hope and belonging to share with the trans+ community. We post them again now, because we want trans+ people to know that in these difficult times you are seen, valued and never alone. 💗 #WithTheT

The misogyny and homophobia directed at Bev Craig throughout her campaign was awful. We posted a positive message of congratulations, which also drew some cynicism. We understand, but decided to delete, as we’d tagged her and didn’t feel it fair to add to the negativity, on her night of celebration

Please read my book (out September 10th) before posting about how much you ‘hate’ the concept of nuance. I am not using the word to suggest compromise with fascists. In fact, lack of nuance has brought us to where the far right are winning & I lay out exactly how. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

This is what our campaign is about - not shouting, not fearmongering, but building something positive. A space where women can come together, speak kindly, and show solidarity. Add your name and help build that space. ✍️ notinourname.org.uk

A pleasure to help put this campaign together with the Good Night Out Campaign 🏳️‍⚧️ With the EHRC Code about to roll out, please put these posters up in your venues and help us spread the message: Pee in Peace 💖 #PeeInPeace #GoodNightOut #TransRights #TransInclusion

This is a platform. Women everywhere are taking a stand against being spoken over, and against their voices being twisted into tools of harm. Add yours today. ✍️ Sign the letter at notinourname.org.uk

I also just want to say publicly, and I have passed the same sentiments onto her personally, that Allison Morris is a true champion of women, both cisgender and trans. She didn't have to speak up, and she did. Allison is taking a hell of a lot of abuse and flack from some pretty despicable elements

We're still smiling after an incredible day at London Trans+ Pride on Saturday 🏳️‍⚧️💜 It was wonderful to spend the day surrounded by so much love, joy and solidarity, catching up with friends and having so many thoughtful conversations with people from across the trans+ community & allies #TransPride

Excellent news

“The rolling back of inclusion in recent years has been heartbreaking to see. For my trans friends, I wanted to do something practical and purposeful” Our campaign is that practical step. Women across the UK are signing in solidarity with the trans+ community, refusing to let hate speak in our name

Trans people are still waiting years for gender clinic appointments in Scotland and across the UK, while the people who closed and restricted services describe the resulting crisis as a reason for further caution. That is not logic. That is a policy creating the conditions it then uses to justify it

Trans people have been marginalised, demonised and attacked. Britain now has one of the worst records on trans rights in Europe. But they have so many allies who will never give up on them.

Big love to all joining London Trans+ Pride today, we hope you have the best time. To the trans+ community, we’ve got you and we’ll see you there 🏳️‍⚧️

More wonderful support as we approach London Trans Pride this weekend. The lovely Zelah Glasson, who showed us all last year how you can live your truth and bring people together around it.

We are delighted to see @libdemwomen.bsky.social and @feministgreens.bsky.social join the 54 women’s groups who’ve now added their name to the joint statement on the EHRC code and trans+ inclusion.

Maybe the best response I've seen to the EHRC, and from an unexpected source (for me as an atheist). @willhaycardiff.bsky.social @iandunt.bsky.social @quietriotpod.bsky.social

Allies and wonderful community members like Lewis Hancox were out in force yesterday to promote London Trans+ Pride 🏳️‍⚧️, which takes place next Saturday July 25th. While this annual event offers a unique moment to come together in joy, it’s also a special opportunity to show up and be visible allies

Statement of the Bench of Bishops of the Church in Wales on the publication of the EHRC Draft Code of Practice - Church in Wales

churchinwales.org.uk

Last week, NION was proud to add our signature to a joint statement from over 50 women’s organisations, speaking up against the EHRC’s updated Code of Practice, which is due to come into force on 5th August.

Today is International Non-Binary People's Day. Did you know? The date was chosen because it sits exactly halfway between International Women's Day and International Men's Day, recognising that not everyone fits neatly into a binary understanding of gender. #InternationalNonBinaryPeoplesDay

Would encourage you to read and share this. The resources and report show the challenges faced by Pride organisers, and highlight what we’ll lose if people and orgs bow to pressures to withdraw their support

Thanks and well done to all who registered their concerns, wrote to MPs, signed our letter, or joined our statement expressing dismay at the draft guidance. It’s a significant show of support to the trans+ community and we hope it helps ongoing legal and policy work www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Trans advocates and MPs urge government to scrap 'segregation' code'

The EHRC Code of Practice is set to pass Parliament today at the end of the 40-day scrutiny period, despite 166 MPs signing a 'prayer' motion to stop it — including more than 90 Labour backbenchers

mirror.co.uk

Despite more than 1 in 4 MPs signing my motion against the Code, it is due to come into force without any debate or vote in Parliament. I have written to the Minister for Women and Equalities urging her to withdraw it now. 2/2

What is needed, among others, are wide support bases with local people, institutions, influencers and politicians in person. Connect, liaise, share information, do community work - demonstrate that you are valuable members of local communities. (I know - happens already.) From there, dissent arises.

"I know how it feels to be an afterthought. This isn’t just about toilets. It’s about pushing disabled and trans people out of everyday life and treating them as an afterthought." Exactly our thoughts @nionwomen.bsky.social Read this powerful piece 👇

"Why can't trans people just use the accessible toilet?" It's a question that comes up time and again. But as a disabled person, our latest blogger explains why that seemingly simple suggestion isn't a solution at all. Read here👉 notinourname.org.uk/why-cant-tra...
