Draft trans guidance for schools treats vulnerable kids as a threat
The guidance won’t become law until September, but the draft shows Labour is intent on kicking trans people and calling it fair play

Andrea Williams has, for decades, been using lawfare to push the ideological agenda of Christian fundamentalists on behalf of The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). They use the legal system to impose their regressive values on all of us.

Hi everyone. As you know, I am our trans rights lead at Good Law Project. I have been working alongside a fantastic team on our challenge since May last year. But whilst what we have achieved is significant - there is still a lot further to go.

I wonder how the ruling today will affect Parliament itself. It is Crown Property & normal rules do not actually apply in there. Also there are toilets such as those in Westminster Hall that are designated 'Public Toilets' as are the ones in Portcullis for use by any invited visitors. 1/2

There is nothing about this piece of crass rubbish legislation that is in the best interests of trans youth. It caters for transphobic parents, teachers and pupils. Educational establishments ar no longer a safe place for trans youth. Cass is revelling in this.

46 young trans lives lost in six years since NHS England took away gender affirming care for trans youth and replaced it with ‘holistic exploratory therapy’ - conversion practices from where I’m sitting.
And LGB deaths also running at twice the rate we might expect.

As someone who has used the Ladies’ Pond myself, I am glad that it will remain an inclusive and safe space for all women.

Finally got round to ordering some new cosmetic brushes so I can ditch the last of the 25 year old ones. Getting a bit tired & shedding when cleaned so a few MAC primer/foundation ones, few Real Techniques eye & contour ones, couple of Avon ones for blush & setting. Sad some of my Kryolan ones died.
