Progress.
From 2018 to now after follow a solid plan for almost a year.
I’m so proud of how far I’ve come and can’t wait to see how much further I can go.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Racism, transphobia and homophobia are not protected characteristics; nor should expressing such views be free from consequences
If your ‘belief’ relies on denying someone else’s humanity, it’s not a right; it’s a prejudice.

M&S have responded to our letter regarding the complaint about a supposedly trans employee.
Yet more evidence that anti-trans obsessives lied about the incident to stoke hostility towards trans people.
We all have a duty to tackle such mis(dis)information to protect our community.

If anything, this manufactured M&S trans panic lays bare the absurdity & cruelty of anti-trans obsessives. Spreading wilful misinformation about a non-incident to criminalise an innocent worker simply for appearing to be trans is both disgraceful and dangerous.

JK Rowling threatened to sue a 20-something twitter user with 200 followers for comparing her ideology to the Taliban. (I've seen the threatening letter her US lawyers sent myself. It's what caused me to throw out my HP books).
I'm sorry, how many times has JK set lawyers on people because they criticised her?

A great statement, we need to put pressure on Stonewall, LGBT Foundation and others to follow this lead. They will not do so unless they are pushed. Emails time!
The EHRC’s appointment of Dr. Mary-Ann Stevenson, a figure with known anti-trans views, makes clear it no longer serves all people. Equality Amplified no longer recognises the EHRC as a human rights body.

🚨 We’re disgusted, but not surprised. Labour has now fully sided with anti-trans voices. Bridget Phillipson just appointed gender-critical Dr Mary-Ann Stevenson as EHRC chair ignoring both human rights committees. The UK isn’t safe, it’s time to take this fight to the governments door!
Holy crap, Bridget Phillipson has appointed Dr Mary-Ann Stevenson as the new chair of the EHRC, despite the explicit objections of both @commonswec.parliament.uk and the Joint Committee on Human Rights here: committees.parliament.uk/publications...

The way anti-trans obsessives speak about trans people is disgusting, & it’s deeply troubling how this hateful rhetoric goes unchallenged.
They dehumanise, demonise, & deliberately spread lies to advance an agenda rooted in harm.
We need more influential allies to speak out-now.

It’s not about trans inclusion in sport.
That’s a separate, albeit linked, issue.
There will be people confusing that to make transphobic or political points today.

Caster Semenya is a cis woman.
A cis woman who has been subject to human rights abuses.
She’s won (again) by proving that the system is unfair and she wasn’t given a fair hearing.
There’s no world in which her fight isn’t for women’s rights.
