Our challenge to the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s interim guidance has begun in the High Court.
This is only one step in a long battle. But we’re ready to fight it.
Our team is in court and we’ll let you know as soon as the court reaches a decision.

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Phillipson is being an idiot. Let’s keep the squeeze on.
This letter now has 700+ signatures. Shall we get it to 1,000 before the Tuesday deadline?
Then I’ll print it all out—with every name—and post it to her, plus copy to every supportive MP I know.

How I hate business speech.
Phrase I encountered today:
"persuade more leaders into that 'willing' audience"
So just persuade them then.
