She/Her/Elle 🇫🇷 I will NOT have my life defined by other people’s hate; not by the government, not by the NHS, and DEFINITELY not by the courts, or the EHRC. Bucket list: 1. Move to a beach. 2. Have no regrets. ✅ 3. Drive a Land Rover. ✅

@yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social Please back the science, not the rhetoric, and rescind the puberty blocker ban.
Natacha@natacha.bsky.social · 6h agoTHREAD 🧵🧵🧵🧵 Two of the main lies in the Cass Review used to justify the puberty-blocker ban; 1. The lie that puberty-blockers have a long-term negative effect on bone density. 2. The lie that puberty-blockers have a negative effect on cognitive ability. Both have been shown to be false; 1/4

It would seem I’ve broken the law… 😁
I suppose the GCs will be up in arms over this, in the same way as they’re always up in arms over the 1,000s of times each year cis men have to share wards with women in overcrowded hospitals. Oh wait! Whst am I thinking? They’re not trans women, so no they won’t…
She Guevara@sheg7.bsky.social · yesterdayWhatever government cunt is on LBC just now is suggesting utilising womens facilities for male prisoners, so you'd have a situation where male-born prisoners would be allowed on womens estate, but not if they transition to women.

I’ve written to the Mayor of London: “I urge you now to work with councils across London to support their efforts to make sure the (EHRC) guidance cannot be used to diminish the everyday rights of 🏳️⚧️ trans Londoners and to seek the wider adoption of these approaches across our city.” [1/3]
![Letter to the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.
Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) Code of Practice for Service
providers, Public Functions and Associations
I am writing following our conversation at Mayor’s Question Time (12 June 2026) where I raised concerns about the distress and anxiety trans Londoners tell me they are feeling following the publication of the revised Code of Practice for service providers and associations by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).
You told me that your “priority is to ensure London remains a city where everyone, regardless of gender identity, can thrive, feel safe and belong.” [1]
You'll be aware that this week, on 5 August 2026, the Government's updated EHRC Code of Practice comes into effect, following an order from the Minister for Women and Equalities.
Trans led organisations, such as Trans Actual, have maintained that the Code remains unworkable; it does not protect trans people, it does not help service providers and it does not respect the UK’s human rights obligations. [2]
Despite cross party condemnation, with 166 MPs signing Early Day Motion (EDM) 240,
tabled by Nadia Whittome MP, in an effort to halt this discriminatory guidance, there has
been no debate in Parliament.
The government's own Equality Impact Assessment admits that this code of practice would have wide-ranging negative impacts on Trans people and that Trans women could face a "disproportionate risk of violence and sexual assault.” [3]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y72k4zijlsi47z7wk262cv24/bafkreifzyqhohvnimtn7f55trm54cbxvwqcjjxkmdfuq74twtvtyacufaq)

I would like to know what work you and your Deputy Mayors have been doing, since we spoke about this in June, to prepare for the changes coming into effect on 5 August.
Londoners need to know how you intend to uphold the rights of trans people and support service providers to remain trans inclusive.
As an elected London politician, I am particularly concerned because London has the highest proportion of people in England whose gender identity differs from their sex
assigned at birth. [4] These are people in our community, work colleagues, neighbours, friends and family members, who should be able to participate in public life without fear of being outed, harassed or discriminated against at work or in public when using a toilet or changing room.
Lambeth Council recently announced that it would challenge the implementation of the
Draft Code of Practice on Services, Public Functions and Associations. Councillors backed a motion condemning the draft code as “incoherent and self-contradictory, discriminatory, and impossible to implement in a reasonable and proportionate manner.” [5]
The motion called on the council to protect LGBTQIA+ workers and service users by
refusing to implement the guidelines should legal advice confirm that such a move would be lawful.
When we spoke at MQT in June, you said “the GLA will continue to work closely with
boroughs, service providers, community organisations and partners to ensure our services remain welcoming, safe and appropriate.” [6]
I urge you now to work with councils across London to support their efforts to make sure
the guidance cannot be used to diminish the everyday rights of trans Londoners and to
seek the wider adoption of these approaches across our city.
This is about Trans people's right to exist in society free from abuse, discrimination and
segregation, with the autonomy to be who they know themselves to be.
Yours sincerely,
Caroline Russell AM

One of the many reasons the judicial review to block the PATHWAYS trial failed, in a digestible form. 😅
Ashleeee 🌊🪭@reactiveashley.cat · yesterday3/ The presumption referred to in the judgment is statutory. This is very much analogous to a scenario where someone opposes planning permission, but somehow argues that the developer will regret building a house and therefore interim relief should be granted.
Exactly. This👇sums up everything about Gender Criticalism. Are we beginning to reach the point where more people are seeing it for what it really is?
Aidan Comerford@aidancomerford.bsky.social · yesterdayThe "gender critical" movement are not appealing their loss in their fight to stop the puberty blocker trial. The "irreversible harm" James is talking about here is people being trans. That's it. Helen Joyce said it clearly, even if trans people say they are happy they consider them to be "harmed."
“My wife has persuaded me that, strictly speaking, it is against the law to tie piano wire at neck height across the road. Oh, but it’s tempting.” It seems Rod liked the idea of being tempted by a lot of things.
Corner@dangerouscorner.bsky.social · yesterdayAlso 'its funny to try and murder cyclists and I do it regularly'. www.cyclist.co.uk/news/complai...
You only have to look at the veneration of the recently deceased Rod Liddle by prominent women in the "gender critical" movement (Kathleen Stock, Rosie Duffield etc.) to know that their claim to be "protecting women" is utter nonsense.
Because to do so would mean asking awkward questions to those in power. And so they have to protect their own.
Elizabeth Taylor@elizabethtaylor47.bsky.social · yesterdayIf someone has committed domestic abuse in their life, that should be mentioned most especially by our national broadcaster. To not do so, while releasing endless fawning obituaries, is to be complicit in societal misogyny and the erasure of victims.
The number of people pushing back against Nick Robinson’s use of language in this thread, who never seemed to have an issue when he used the same language about trans people. Funny that, isn’t it?
