Families say medication prescribed through WellBN will end with no clear replacement pathway in place. They fear this amounts to care being withdrawn without a safe alternative.

WellBN “alleviated the distress” of children “in the short term” by providing puberty blockers

A report into the WellBN GP service has concluded that the service "was inappropriately prescribing medications" despite acknowledging how it helped the young people

Good news for trans people these days is "the attempt by transphobes to generate evidence for their claims was protected from being scuppered by even more extreme transphobes" while the bad news is "another regulatory body declares trans people not worth protecting".

“The arguments made by the claimants weren’t really rooted in concerns about ethics, safety, or efficacy. But decisions about healthcare should be made by young trans people and their clinicians – not by anti-trans campaigners.” goodlaw.social/vw87

Extremely good news from CEC absolutely blugeoning the EHRC Guidance! Also highlights the weird changes the guidance is trying to insert especially around "ethnic backgrounds", which seems rife for fascists to bring sham litigation around the concept of "Britishness". A battle on multiple fronts!

Resisting Transphobia in Edinburgh@rtie.org · last mo.

Resisting Transphobia in Edinburgh applauds the City of Edinburgh Council for voting, by an overwhelming majority, to condemn the transphobic new guidance from the Equalities and Human Rights Commission. Zoe Harding delivered a blistering speech on our behalf: rtie.org/2026/06/25/e...

When Section 28 ended, as a teacher I made my school a Rights Respecting School; it based its ethos & teaching on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The government’s anti-trans “guidance” means that, from 1st Sept being a Rights Respecting School will be impossible.

There really is no overstating how horrific the 2026 KSCIE guidance from the UK government is. It takes on board all of the punitive, coercive, ill-conceived musings of the Cass Review, and turns them into a recipe for making kids' lives hell on earth.

Ethel Weapon@lousadzak.bsky.social · 6mo ago

So, it looks like the new DfE guidance on trans students in schools incorporates recommendations from the Cass report. Suffice to say that is an *incredibly awful* decision. Here's a thread with my analysis of Cass on social transition from back in 2024.

Saying no to the new EHRC code.

none of this is inevitable. reform are actually pretty weak right now they've only got 1/4 of the vote & if the mainstream media went hard against them, or there was a big public backlash, i think that could be halved

Nearly 10% of all MPs have now signed an Early Day Motion that would reject the EHRC's unworkable guidance. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

important to remember, since the press will rarely remind you, that the UK supreme court is not supreme in the way the US one is. Parliament is sovereign and can overturn or legislate counter to court decisions, they just choose not to

Worth noting, if your MP hasn't signed it already - that doesn't mean they won't. These are just very early signatories. It's too early to judge who will and will not choose to sign, but not too early to urge them to do so: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/rejectthecode

Such an important statement. Many identified the impact this would have on the disabled community, or people with intersectional needs. It all negates dignity and massively overestimates available facilities. The suggestion trans+ people should “just use” accessible toilets harms both groups
