t has been a hard week. In truth, it has been a hard few years. For many trans+ people, the noise, the headlines, the debates and the hostility can feel relentless.
So this Valentine’s, we wanted to do something simple.

Oooo! My mum recommended this to me last night. I loved #TheDetectorists, so looking forward to trying this world out too
It is rare for something shot in Manchester to feel absolutely Hooklandian, but Small Prophets is a rare thing - an esoteric TV comedy that grows the heart. Mackenzie Crook is a genius. Small Prophets is television treasure.

Great letter setting out the positives from today's GLP vs EHRC ruling.
Phillipson must now do what we've been asking for all along: send the draft Services Code of Practice back to the EHRC to be re-written to explain that trans inclusion in gender-aligned services remains entirely lawful.

We've written to Bridget Phillipson to point out she's legally obliged to reject the EHRC's draft guidance
The Government committed in its manifesto to “remove indignities for trans people”. We're asking that they take steps to protect the trans community & correct what the Supreme Court got wrong

The result of the Good Law Project’s judicial review against the EHRC’s “interim update” is due at 11.00am tomorrow.
Various trans organisations will be putting out statements shortly after. No idea which way this ruling will go. Sending huge hugs to everybody.

‘Four Night Seas’ is an exceptional first book of short stories. Niamh Mac Cabe takes the reader deep into the textures and instabilities of memory, desire and loss, with well-judged humour and vivid depictions of landscape and character. Published @lilliputpress.bsky.social March.
