For the record, the EHRC has all three of our major reports published this year, including the exclusion of trans women from support for sexual violence, and that the UK, in the grips of segregating a minority, will likely never recover from it. www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre...

I spoke to a young transitioned woman today. She had been sexually assaulted twice on the train by different men in recent months. She doesn't seek justice because it's unattainable. Because she'll be scrutinised by services that think her breasts are "male", and re-traumatised in the process.

This is not just a report for commissioners, regulators, and services. This is a report for all transitioned women who are survivors. So many of you have said: “That was me.” You are seen. You are recognised. You are held within these pages.

Out of 15 Scottish rape crisis services reviewed for safeguarding accessibility for transitioned women: 🟢 7 Recommended (low safeguarding risk) 🟡 4 Conditionally recommended (safe with caveats) 🟠 1 Requires direct clarification (moderate risk) 🔴 3 Not recommended (high safeguarding risk)

Sometimes when we’ve been harmed, we lose track of what reasonable expectations look like. Here’s what every survivor is allowed to expect from support services 🧵

While America executes its own citizens, in the UK it seems we're happy just to remove any access to health and social care for trans people by mandating disclosure prior to access, and collect names and registers... for now.

Below is an excerpt of our safeguarding briefing. It's a work in progress, but we felt it was too important to be left unsaid. You can download the full report here: transiness.com?p=536

We’re making an important safety announcement. Following sustained engagement with the NPCC, we’ve had to disengage from negotiation. That means we can’t rely on policy change to protect people right now. We know even imagining this is distressing. We wouldn’t share it unless necessary.

We’ve sent our final correspondence to the National Police Chiefs’ Council, which asserts that the Supreme Court determined its policy. We set out how that assertion results in internal inconsistencies in the operational treatment of anatomy, public decency, & sexual offences within their framework.

A snapshot from our institutional safeguarding analysis: only 13.9% of England’s rape crisis and sexual violence services can be confidently recommended for transitioned women. Over 75% present safeguarding risks or unclear access. transiness.com?p=391

We’ve updated the Transiness site to improve clarity and navigation across analytical reports, audits, and guidance. The revised structure is intended to make the scope and intent clearer to readers. transiness.com

We’re currently scoping sexual violence support services across Scotland and are seeing a strong trend towards more inclusive and accessible approaches. We’ll be expanding our guide to include more Scottish services as we hear back from them.

There's no playbook for "how to recalibrate an entire safeguarding system that's been gaslit by fear". That's you, me, services, everyone. What we've learned in advocacy is: you have to precisely describe the holistic experience of the survivor.

Following consultation, we’ve identified another service that meets our safeguarding threshold for transitioned women and have added it to Finding Safety. Do remember to refresh the page. The guide will continue to be updated as reliable, pre-contact safe pathways are confirmed.

We’re continuing to hear from services about support for transitioned women. At present, no new services have met the threshold for inclusion. Finding Safety lists services only where a survivor can know, before contact, how she’ll be treated and routed without disclosure or negotiation in crisis.
