I recently reported that Bossier Parish, Louisiana, voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom rules I'd ever seen. It begged the question: Why? Enter Aurora + Shae, who were allegedly attacked by an anti-trans mob near a Parish bathroom in May. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-coup...

Trans Couple Brutalized At Louisiana Park Bathroom, Then Charged By Police

An angry mob allegedly beat them. The police charged them. The municipality voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom ordinances in the country.

Landmark Official Dutch Review Recommends Trans Youth Care, Call For Expanding Treatment

The review finds that wait times must be shortened, that few people detransition, and that trans youth care has enormous benefits.

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

Unlike Labour politicians I keep my word because I have morals, principles & integrity... which is something they lack in entirety.

Please sign and share. Last week I spoke with a trans woman who is too afraid to accept medical care for leukaemia because of her profound fear of being outed by being placed in a side-room on a male ward. Trans people have a right to the same healthcare we all need goodlawproject.org/s/ec0359

Trans people have a right to the same healthcare we all need | Good Law Project

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

The expectations for trans people are incredibly high, but they are even higher for trans fem creators. You’re expected to be perfect. You need to match beauty expectations, sound and act a certain way.. but you’re also supposed to take all of the abuse without complaining.

Today, feminist organizations across 🇨🇦 are launching a new campaign: Women for Trans Rights. This campaign rejects attacks on trans people under the guise of protecting women and putting the focus back where it belongs: patriarchy and government inaction. Add your name: www.womenfortransrights.ca

“protectors of women” harassing a woman, because of her beliefs. What a joke these people must be.

This is so infuriating. There was quite a big debate over ruling out tax rises! Rachel Reeves just shut it down by answering every single bloody time "well, being in government would be a nice problem to have"!!!

Incredibly important new study from Cal Horton @fiercemum.bsky.social - the first to look at England's post-Cass child/adolescent gender clinics. Dr Horton found patients and families are being actively harmed, with one young person describing appointments as "the worst thing I’ve ever experienced”.

Within trans youth healthcare two fundamentally different models of care persist, with a significant difference between affirmative and non-affirmative healthcare services. To date there has been l...

Very short positive thread

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

A UN commission of inquiry has confirmed what was already clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The government’s position was already morally indefensible. It is now politically untenable. Keir Starmer and his Labour ministers must be held criminally accountable.

The U.K. mainstream media is absolutely complicit in fomenting and promoting HATE! They absolutely IGNORE inclusion and solidarity while they PROMOTE divisive conflict, racism, transphobia and violence! 😖 The BBC, GB News, The Times, Telegraph, Guardian, all of them are complicit!

100,000 trans people & allies march through London without threatening or making anyone feel like it is a no-go area. Media: crickets. 100,000 fascists & Nazis march through London threatening violence & making anyone not cishet & white feel it is a no-go area. Media: wall-to-wall live coverage.

They wanna blame trans people so bad.

Reporters talking with everyone who has ever met the shooter asking if the shooter knew any trans people. Healthy society we have here for sure.

We asked the EHRC whether they consulted any trans, intersex or LGBTQ+ groups before intervening in the 2024 Supreme Court case For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers. Their answer? They didn’t. 1/
