Reminder that with the EHRC guidance coming into force today the responsibility is on the service providers and there is no law dictating which toilet you can and can't use. Also ACAB includes people who decide to be the toilet police. #EHRC #TransRightAreHumanRights

Had to cancel my sessions today as waiting for. Dr to call me. Suspect I have early stages of thyroid eye disease. The earlier it's caught the better + it hurts. But it's cost me money I can't afford to lose. *Sigh* #SelfEmployed #TherapistsConnect
Got told today we are going to tribunal. I've expected it all along but part of me had hope my employer would be reasonable. Looks like this is all going public soon, it's not pretty + reputations will be damaged. Join your union! #DisabilityDiscrimination #DisabilitySky #UCU
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
Being disabled is expensive,restrictive, & isolating. Those 3 things grind people down. Many disabled people are seen to not be trying hard enough, years of trying to fight for accommodations + access take its toll + people give up. #WheelchairUser #NEISVoid 1/3
The disability discrimination fight against work is taking its toll. The system is working as designed. Taking as long as possible to grind me down and make me give up. That's not gonna happen. I'm fighting this. #DisabilirySky #ChronicIllness #WheelchairUser #NEISVoid

Wes Streeting's Interim #ADHD and #Autism report is out but the media seem rather quiet about it. Probably because it shows no evidence of overdiagnosis but confirms what our communities have been saying all along.

This was posted in sincerity. No wonder the satirists are struggling. What a totally out of touch thing to say. My MP everybody. Who believes that wealth, power and opportunity has been spread for the many. *SMH*
A privilege to be a part of Keir Starmerβs final cabinet meeting and PMQs as his Chief Secretary. Our Labour government, irrespective of who is in what role, has the mission of spreading wealth, power and opportunity to the many. Keir has done that and long may it continue.

It's gender census time again.
The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy. #LGBTQ
Proud of the Queer community of Bristol for showing up at the full council meeting. Our City is rainbow and that isn't changing. Says a lot that the GCs didn't stay to hear the youth council speak considering they keep saying they are so concerned about kids. #ActionsSpeakLouderThanWords
Having to deal with grief today. Fatigue is hitting + I can't go to the Full Council meeting to support my community. Living the values I espouse is important to me; disability makes that harder. So I'm making space for my grief over the loss of choice. #Bristol #DisabilitySky #NoLGBWithoutTheT
Just bought tix for a show in Jan 28 to get access seats. Wheelchair spaces for the 3 shows I can attend sold in the members presale, which would mean having to pay an extra Β£60 a year for a chance to get a chair space. It is time the #BristolHippodrome added more wheelchair spaces. #DisabilitySky
I've had my active chair a few weeks now and yesterday I had my first tumble. I was trying to balance in a wheelie and lost it backwards. I can't stop giggling at the thought of me backwards on the floor with my legs in the air π€£π€£π€£. #Wheelie #DisabilitySky #WheelchairUser
There are people all across Belfast helping relocate people, get them food, clothes, meds and more. You will likely never hear about them on the news. But they are many. And *they* are Belfast.

The EHRC draft code of conduct is out. Hereβs how to fight itβ¦
On 21st May 2026, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) laid a new code of practice for access to services based on gender before Parliament. The code is the EHRCβs second attempt at provβ¦

Currently in hospital waiting to go home after surgery. The advocating you have to do to have your pain taken seriously as a chronic pain patient is ridiculous. Thankfully after bashing my head against a brick wall with the nurse she escalated and the anaesthetist spoke to me.
I say this as someone who in the past was a paid up active member in local Labour party politics. Fuck the Labour Party! They wouldn't recognise equality if it was anthropomorphised standing naked in front of them holding a massive sign singing equality is here again. #EHRC #TransRightAreHumanRights
@kazself.com so with the draft guidance being dropped are you still standing by this transphobic Labour party? Or are you standing with the trans community. As one of my local councillors it's important for me to know which side of the line you are putting yourself on.
EHRC says it's discriminatory to assume that gender critical people have a negative attitude towards trans people, or that religious homophobes have a negative attitude towards gay people... Would love to hear an example of those beliefs reflecting a positive attitude towards queer people π
The Minister has confirmed that she has laid the new Code of Practice. But the Code itself has not yet been published for members of the public to view. We are watching closely and will have more analysis once we have seen it.
Went out in my new active chair for all day for the first time yesterday. Oh my goodness it was wonderful, also had a lot of grief last night of what I had lost for so long. Need to write it out in full, noone talked about those feelings I didn't expect them. #DisabilitySky #WheelchairUser
