This shit is just a framework to delegitimise transition. Anti trans campaigners said as much after the supreme court ruling – that since it is no longer acceptable for trans people to use services according to transitioned gender, trans healthcare sets us up for humiliation and should be banned too

I have friends being threatened by their workplaces over the use of toilets they've been using for years without problem.
Nearly a year into many trans people in the UK being forced to use disabled toilets or asked to work from home pending legal advice and stuff and I haven't seen a single "Izzy's boss told her she has to use a disabled toilet, here's how she feels about it" piece in the papers.

Labour lost three council seats last night. 1 each to the Greens, Lib dems and Plaid. Reform were 2nd or 3rd in each.
The Greens also won and beat Reform in another local election.
So when they say vote Labour to stop Reform, they couldn't be more wrong. Vote almost anyone but Labour to beat Reform.

I didn’t even know misconduct in public office was a crime here 💀 You’re telling me that’s been illegal this whole time??!
BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

I feel like I've been seeing warning signs of this for ages, but it's still really upsetting. These are not similar things, and you're not respecting a trans person by spreading their deadname to all and sundry and openly mourning them coming out.

Shameful that the EHRC has no written records of any meetings with trans-led organisations over the last five years when trans rights have been under such assault.

FOI reveals the EHRC holds zero minutes of meetings with trans-led organisations in the past 5 years.
This is the UK’s 'equality' regulator.
Trans voices are not important enough for the EHRC to keep a record of what was said. This should be a headline in all the papers.

If you do, and you’re seeking therapy to support them, please send them to a trans therapist if you can.
And if you’re thinking about therapy to support you with your child’s transition, a trans therapist would be a really good shout for you too.

Her one big thought, which controls everything she says and everything in that vile "report," is that being trans is an illness, and we have to do everything we can to intervene when kids start showing symptoms, to prevent the illness from becoming chronic.
