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.
"Laura fears all will be lost if ICB Sussex forces her child off the medication.
If ICB Sussex get their own way in a matter of weeks and they force detransition, Olive may well take her life."

and yeah it turns out if you near unilaterally exclude trans voices from the news, reporting, journalism, media in general and at the same time do PR for the bigots who want us dead or gone trans groups like Bash Back will start to feel like they have no alternative to break stuff.

They didn't care when trans people spoke up. They didn't care when allies spoke up. They only cared when business spoke up about losing money. Tells you all you need to know about where their priorities lie.

I was personally promised the council would fly the trans flag months ago. Yesterday I was told they forgot to do it and there's nothing anyone can do to rectify their mistake.
5/7 We’re also disappointed that Brighton & Hove City Council promised to fly the trans flag over both town halls this weekend in solidarity, then backed out, citing Black History Month. As if intersectionality doesn’t exist. Once again, our community is pushed aside by institutions.

🧵 1/7 Last night, a trans-led direct action group, Bash Back, damaged windows at the Brighton Centre in response to it hosting the Filia Conference. To be clear: TPB had no involvement in this and doesn’t coordinate with Bash Back. Our organising centres community safety and collective empowerment.

BREAKING: BASH BACK TARGET FiLiA ANTI-TRANS CONFERENCE
The conference, whose alumni include J.K. Rowling, this year hosts hate groups LGBAlliance and Transgender Trend, along with the director of Scottish Lesbians, one of the groups responsible for April's segregationist Supreme Court ruling.

Our city is being invaded by transphobes. Allowing this conference to go ahead represents a failure of leadership and safeguarding by the Brighton Centre and Brighton Council.

This weekend the Brighton Centre will host the Filia Conference 2025, an event which bills itself as a feminist event, raising issues about global women's rights. Sounds great, right? Well, it’s a lie...

The population of Brighton and Hove has the highest density of trans people in the country. We have 3 MPs but only one of them has the strength to be an actual ally in words and actions.
Huge respect for Sian.

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents.
I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights.

There are multiple protests planned around this violent TERF event, held in a Brighton Council owned space. The Council have insisted to me they are powerless so the hate rally must go on.

It still blows my mind the double standards the media has for trans victims vs cis victims. The Prime Minister, Health sec, head of the Met police yesterday were defending the violent Graham Linehan.
Today, undeniable proof this 57 y/o man assaulted a 17 y/o girl. Not a peep of self-awareness.

So glad this video of Graham Linehan allegedly assaulting a 17 year-old is finally public.

If he doesn't want to be arrested, maybe Graham 'no family' Lineham should stop his campaign of violence against women and girls then?

We'll see how many of these politicians are actually allies, rather than just being there for the show
This year, every Trans Pride in the UK has taken the collective decision to exclude all political parties from officially participating in our events. That includes marching under party banners or hosting stalls within our event spaces. 🧵

This is happening in Brighton too.
In recent months, we’ve heard from several families who were referred to social services simply for supporting their trans child’s access to legal, gender-affirming care.
Here's what to do if it happens to you 🧵
