Once again wanna point any people whose lives are being affected by this nonsense toward @essehouse.bsky.social and their Pee in Peace Program, which is distributing accessible toilet keys - not because you shouldn't be allowed in gendered spaces, but so that you can avoid hostile atmospheres.

Trans people are being challenged, misgendered and harassed whether they use a facility that aligns with their sex assigned at birth, or not. Many gender non conforming women also report more challenges in gendered spaces.

My son is on blockers legally from before the ban and we did everything they told us to do and now we are being threatened with social services if we don't allow them to "safely withdraw" medication. They admit that the impact will be "stark" for our kids but they are going to do it anyway.

The decision to drop the case against Graham Linehan is a green light for hate. These laws were made to stop abuse. If this stands, it’s open season on every marginalised group, not just trans people.

After buying accessible toilet keys in small numbers pretty regularly - we have now found a bulk supplier that is 35% of the cost!.
This will help us assist even more people on low incomes for free - and enables your generous donations to go even further to help provide for excluded identities.
