Go on! Tell us the one about the so-called ‘human rights organisation’ that backed down from supporting a vulnerable minority, just because some bigot threatened to sue them. Yeah, that one always gets everyone rolling in the aisles.

These words of encouragement are from across the UK to the trans+ community, written with care, compassion and the hope that love will always be louder than hate. If you want to help us spread love, not hate, sign our letter: Women in support of the trans+ community. #WithTheT
In addition to being cruel, discriminatory and a blatant attempt to make trans people disappear, this whole debacle is an absolute shit show! The sheer incompetence on display is staggering.
Helen 🏳️⚧️✊🏻💕@mimmymum.bsky.social · 2w agoThe “clarified” EHRC Code according to EHRC Chair, Mary-Ann Stephenson 😳🤯🙃 It’s Monty Python’s Flying Transphobes - highlighting the absurdity, nonsense, and hilarious ineptitude of ‘gender critical’ bigotry! 😆
And they will keep pushing the use of them. Yet we have puberty blockers banned for trans kids on ‘safety’ grounds when there has never been a negative consequence of taking them. Just the negative consequences of not being able to access them.
Too often, the public conversation gives the impression that one narrow viewpoint speaks for all women. It doesn't. Over 100,000 UK women have already signed our letter because they believe in fairness, inclusion and treating trans+ people with kindness, compassion, and inclusively. Join us.
As the EHRC Code of Practice comes into force, we’ve compiled a new Oxford toilet guide highlighting unisex/gender-neutral provision. 38 facilities across the city for when you need to go. Read it here: oxfordclarion.uk/oxford-publi...

If you are cis and see someone being challenged, push back, stand up for them. This is segregation, discrimination and wrong on every level imaginable. I’m so angry right now!
Phoebe du Maurier@thejoytuckclub.bsky.social · 3w agoYou’ve already broken one code just by being true to you, my loves. Don’t let another code stop you. Pee where you belong, live as you know you should, and don’t let a stinking pile of terfs stop you, ever. Fuck the EHRC!
No one should face exclusion or discrimination because of who they are. The Green Party stands in solidarity with the trans community and will keep fighting for equality that includes everyone.
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

The unworkable EHRC Code comes into effect today - A reminder to all my lovely trans+ fam… It’s designed for organisations, not you! It does NOT make it a criminal offence for you to carry on using whichever loo best suits you/ your needs. If someone complains, that’s the orgs problem, not yours!
Segregation is discrimination. I will not comply with my segregation. The new EHRC guidance might come into force today but I will not change how I interact with society. Solidarity with all my trans and non-binary siblings.
While every saving has to be welcomed it is an insult to say you are helping people with an annual saving of £45 when you could choose to make a significant change but are beholden to the private companies. £45 a year is about 86p a week or 12p a day.
Amy@justsewamy.bsky.social · last mo.I think I’d prefer a policy that takes the profit and shareholder payments out and keeps some revenue for the government. That would reduce the price cap by considerably more than a measly £45 and would keep revenue for things like the NHS. apple.news/AOO0S9g2tSB2...

If I were Nigel Farage, I’d dip into that £5 million crypto gift just to fund a video that can compete with this! 🤣 HILARIOUS ⬇️
I think my head may explode, I know Labour are a lost cause at this point, but being further right than that woman is beyond belief!
Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · last yr.Many might think this is a joke but this is literally UK politics right now, today. For those who don't know Anne Widdecombe, she's a spiteful right-wing bigot who would like the death penalty brought back.

Rainbow Migration is proud to be Bird & Blend’s ChariTEA of the Quarter 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🫖 Over the next 3 months, all of the profits from the online sales of Fruits of the Forage go straight to Rainbow Migration, to support LGBTQI+ people fleeing persecution.
This is going to reduce employment of trans people. My advice to any trans person who gets turned down for a job after any interview stage is to submit a subject access request for your interview scoring and all details about decision making. I’m sure @goodlawproject.org will be ready to help…

Keep writing to your MP. If they respond in a trans supportive manner but won’t sign as it’s ’not an effective tool’ remind them that they will have scared trans constituents who won’t have written to them and therefore not heard their supportive position. By signing they publicly show support.
