Thank you to the Greens in Bristol! 😊

"Green councillors held up pro-trans rights banners and pride flags from their seats in Bristol City Council chamber as a war of words with women’s rights campaigners [transphobes] reignited."

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

As an active supporter of thrifting and someone who was at one point too scared to shop in public, marketplaces like Vinted give people a safe place to explore themselves through fashion, affordably.

Shame they have been advertising on GB news. Join in if you think they should rethink that.

New Podcast Episode: The Gender Clinic Files Part 1

In this episode:

How Wes Streeting used out of date information

A look at the centuries-long waiting list

How newer clinics are doing much more with less, compared to the old GIC system.

And more!

On the right unfortunately is Wes streeting. Below him is the text "part 1, in collaboration with Queeraf" To the left is the fantastic Claire Prosho. And to the left is another face.

The Gender Critical have already inundated this survey with their disgusting views on banning trans people from using the ponds.

Would be a shame if we inundated with trans positive views on not banning trans people.

This is massively important and - ASAP

We need admissions, declarations of intent, of 100% non-compliance to the Supreme Court decision and any subsequent State interpretations eg EHRC guidance, policies etc), intention to physically resist being strip-searched by wrong-sexed police officers, etc

As one of your constituents, please read this Red Flag Alert from the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention.

Regards the genocidal intentions of the government against transgender and intersex people.
sarahoconnellshow.com Sarah O’Connell @sarahoconnellshow.com · Jul 1
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention has issued a Red Flag Alert on Anti-trans and intersex Rights in the UK. “We see evidence of genocidal intent and actions targeting these communities.” www.lemkininstitute.com/_files/ugd/b...
“Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention Red Flag Alert on Anti-trans and intersex Rights in the UK Released on 30th of June 2025 The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security would like to bring attention to and condemn recent judicial and governmental developments in the United Kingdom, which attempt to harm transgender and intersex people in the UK by stripping them of privacy and segregating them as 'others.' The Lemkin Institute believes these moves are part of a broader process of erasure. It is not only government action but also the media narrative that has fuelled hostility to and debate about the humanity of trans and intersex people while ignoring their voices. We see evidence of genocidal intent and actions targeting these communities. In April this year, the United Kingdom's Supreme Court (UKSC) delivered a judgment declaring that, for the purposes of the Equality Act (2010), "sex" refers to "biological sex," which it did not define clearly. The Equality Act (2010) provides protection against discrimination on a variety of grounds in public spaces. This ruling at the UK's highest court means that individuals are now protected from discrimination on the basis of their assigned at birth sex, regardless of how that corresponds to their gender identity, lived gender, or sex characteristics. The decision is the result of a court challenge brought by the gender critical group For Women Scotland, which is financially backed by author J.K. Rowling and characterises itself as "feminist."! The UKSC decision creates dual legal categories for people who have gender recognition certificates, making them one sex for the purpose of the Equality Act (2010) and another for all other legal purposes, stripping people with Gender Recognition Certificates (GRCs) of crucial protections and privacy. Despite the UKSC's assurances in their reasoning that the decision in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers would not be disadvantageous to trans indi…
