Vile transphobic bigot Bridget Phillipson is leaving trans women survivors of domestic violence with nowhere to go. Trans people are particularly vulnerable to domestic violence & this disgusting government taking away support is putting lives in danger. Statement by @galopuk.bsky.social.
The news earlier today has really upset me. I think it's great they're doing what they're doing and I understand why and wish them all the best. It's not them, it's the reason why. That they had the strength of character and determination to do it even though it's so hard. And I'm not sure I do 😔
Given trans families leaving the UK is on people's minds, perhaps it's time to share Trans Rescue's How To Get Out again. transrescue.org/how-to-get-out

I'm so glad those who can leave, are. For their safety, peace of mind and future. It always starts with those who can; the professionals, the Doctors, the judges, the researchers, the journalists, or those blessed with dual citizenship. but they won't be the last. transrescue.org/how-to-get-out

"This Labour Government is the worst thing to have ever happened to trans children." Do you recall, back in the 2010s, that campaign of videos where #LGBTQ+ people, including celebs, sent the message "it gets better" to prevent kids killing themselves? 16 years later, this. What the fuck happened?

Cal and their family shouldn't have to do this. It's tough being a trans adult in the uk and it's torture being a trans child. The government could cheaply fix it so easily but they either don't care or want us to suffer. Sacrificing the human rights of a minority to keep the media onside.

I’m considering leaving the UK also. I don’t want to. I’m a Londoner through & through. Burnham is by far the most transphobic PM ever. Transphobia is a flagship Labour policy. It’s also a political litmus test for how it will treat minorities & capitulate to oligarch media. A test it has failed.
Stay safe. Look after yourselves. I’m so sad that it’s come to this. It’s a national disgrace.
EVERY UK MP needs to read this You are all part of a government that is creating a situation so hostile and unsafe that people are leaving the country This is not an isolated case. You have the power to do something about this.

"Today, as a family, we have booked our flights and our one-way ticket out of the UK. This has not felt like a choice. This feels like fleeing to protect ourselves." 💔😢

This Iran war is helping in some ways I guess. UK EV sales; August 2026: 28,063 September 2026: 99,163 In the UK September is always a good month for car sales but 28k to 99k is still exceptional.
Anyone else picking up on their eventual goal being the sealing of the US border and revocation of all normal passports?
Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · 4d agoI love that the U.S. government now has ideas so dumb that the fact checks are simply “yeah this isn’t a parody, it’s real”
So America now has an Office of Religious Affairs in their military where chaplains can contact the highest ranks. What part of Gilead are people not seeing here? Well, guess I'm proud to be a gender traitor then.
You have not misunderstood, sadly. They have an exhibition that they just put up celebrating a bunch of Surpreme Court-y things. A section of it is dedicated to the FWS ruling, including some gushy quotes from one of the justices lying about how happy everyone was about the ruling.
Andy Burnham has pledged to work hard for cross party support for moving Britain forward. Labour - anti trans Tories - anti trans Reform - anti trans Lib Dems - trans supportive but weak Greens - pro trans but nobody even counts then a worth listening to
Isn't it just wild.. The Labour Party have become the new Nasty Party and The Greens are now the moderate left.
Wait, what? The UK's Supreme Court have a permanent exhibition celebrating a ruling that has pretty much introduced the legal segregation of trans people? Am I going insane or is that just so wrong on so many levels? Please tell me I've misunderstood.
Of note to me is that UK visitors to the US dropped from 4M a year to 2M in the space of 12 months. As seen on the graph, UK visitors stuck at 4M pa for the previous 4 years. (Canada dropped from 20.5M to 7.5M and Mexico from 18M to 10M)
Semafor@semafor.com · 4d agoVisitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year. “We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.” www.semafor.com/article/09/2...
Hey y'all, I don't usually share GFMs but Katra is a good friend and the fact that her job was terminated literally a day before her bottom surgery is atrocious. Definitely go give her some help if you can.
🦇 Katra Scariello, Spooky Apple Audio 🦇🏳️⚧️@katrafiy.bsky.social · 5d agoHey everyone, I'm really in a bind. I was just told earlier today that my job will be terminating me on October 13th, exactly one day before my upcoming requested paid medical leave to recover from bottom surgery. I intend to fight this in court, but I could really use some help in the meantime.
TransActual partnered with @scottishtrans.bsky.social and @transsolidarity.bsky.social to bring messages from this month’s Mass Lobby for Trans Equality to the Labour conference in Liverpool, and to ask the party: what now for our standing on LGBTQ+ rights?
Keep hold of that one. We’ll need it for when the ECHR declares it unlawful. We’ll have our own exhibition then.
The Supreme Court has responded to the complaint we have raised alongside @translucent.org.uk and @transparentaction.bsky.social and, as expected, they have failed to address the concerns we have raised...
TACC@tacc.org.uk · last mo.We’ve written to the UK Supreme Court with a formal complaint about its permanent “The Law and Us” exhibition and its presentation of For Women Scotland TACC, alongside @translucent.org.uk and @transparentaction.bsky.social, are calling for a full review of its wording, imagery, balance and context

I don't know what to say. This is just awful 😞
JesALady@jesalady.bsky.social · 4d agocw: stark transphobia stats The EMIS-2024 Ireland survey results are out, and trans/non-binary people in Ireland are not doing well: 88% scared to be in public 84.3% verbally harassed 32.5% blackmailed 51.8% avoided healthcare 73.5% excluded from family activities
The whole thing is a bigoted disgrace. The cis don't have to tell each other if they are married, if they have herpes, if they are a Tory, if they've been convicted of horrendous offences. But if we fail to disclose we're trans, off to prison we go and have to sign the sex offenders register.

Rose Schmits@roseschmits.bsky.social · 4d agoYou do see how “there is no route to restoring trans rights (as done by the party implementing segregation) than through (the party implementing the segregation)“ sounds right
Showing their UTTER CONTEMPT by continuing to drag their feet despite saying they'd have an urgent review.
