As some attempt to legislate trans people out of public life, we stand firm in our values and will continue to advocate for, celebrate and protect trans people at every opportunity. Check out the Good Law Project for more detailed updates on the EHRC guidance: goodlawproject.org/were-support...

The government’s transphobic statutory guidance is now up and running – we’re fighting back

Excellent article by David Banos, trans people have every right to be skeptical of research, seeing how we are treated unethically again and again, in studies which are then used to further medicalize us.

Hele konflikten mellom en liten gjeng "transforskere" og transpersoner, pasientorganisasjon og andre forskere handler om hva slags forskning, ikke om en er for eller mot forskning. www.forskersonen.no/debattinnleg...

So the NSW premier just ruled out expanding anti-discrimination protections for queer people (bisexuals and non-binary people are still excluded by the letter of the law btw) despite their own state gov enquiry asvising expanded protections

Chris Minns is not our friend and will not lift a finger for us He WILL however continue to erode our rights and evermore increase the powers of police to stomp all of us

Other things you can do as a cis ally: -use "prefer not to say" when orgs/employers want to collect your demographic data. -nab some trans flag merch - pins, patches, etc. Flood the market with false positives -ask orgs that ARE enforcing this, HOW they are doing so. Make it awkward af

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.

if the people complicit in this blatant act of segregation had a shred of decency, they would all resign in shame & never show their faces in public ever again the only moral course of action is to disregard the EHRC entirely, work to dismantle it wholesale, & pay reparations to every trans person

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. 



As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

Cis people/liberal cis American citizens are for real so ignorant and sheltered. Y'all didn't give a shit about us even when undocumented TRANS PEOPLE themselves were telling you clearly that trans peeps were being held by ICE under your idols for years now. You simply refused to listen and care.

Ten years ago. ICE has always been a profoundly evil organization, even when Obama was in charge. It abused trans immigrants, too. To liberals, I've always paid attention and cared because it also meant *survival* for me. Democrats are not our friends. Read: - www.washingtonblade.com/2015/06/25/e...

As a latina trans woman who has witnessed my dad being taken away by ICE in the dark of early fall morning during the Obama era in 2013- I would really fucking appreciate it if cis people didn't weaponize my people's pain to attack trans people as well, WHO ARE ALSO MY PEOPLE. Fucking hell.

Deeply disappointed at the comments on my Ken Jennings video. People would rather have empathy for a cis person than the trans person mocked. Yeah it’s the trans persons fault for lightly pointing out to a cis person the New York Times is bad actually to trans person. She’s making it about herself.

A PSA to my fellow cis people who are (or want to believe they are) trans allies If you are getting pushback from trans people and your reaction is to be all “no! not me! I’m one of the good ones!” please remember that “being one of the good ones” is something you DO, not something you ARE
