If you want to flood the Committees with requests to scrutinise Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson on trans rights, do it now!
She is due to be appointed the new chair of the EHRC
The pre-appointment scrutiny session is tomorrow (see thread below).

With 38 hrs to go to the EHRC consultation deadline I'm seeing posts from people feeling bad they're too stressed to engage.
The GLP⬇️has removed all but the last step, a general comment box. This is a far easier task. I hope it helps those who want to, to get their voice heard without too much pain.

It's your last chance to respond to the EHRC consultation. It closes at 11.59pm tomorrow. Get it done tonight. Tell them about the personal impact. Better to do something short and quick than not at all.

Don't let them claim we didn't tell them.

🚨🚨CALL TO ACTION🚨🚨

The new EHRC chair candidate, Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson, has a history of transphobic actions. MPs *must* scrutinze her.

Sign the open letter and use the template to email the WEC to demand MPs protect trans rights!

In a ~medium size discord I'm in, they have a productivity voice chat. I like to sit in there when I'm doing uni work and don't mind company, as accountability.

Well, someone I would consider an acquaintance just joined to go 'hey! I can't stay but I think you're cool, and good luck!'

My heart 😭💛

I was expecting today to be pretty rough, but everything has gone so well. A mixture of good planning, kindness of strangers, and lucky timing, and now I'm home.
An hour earlier than planned, and with way more energy.

I still need a nap though... 3½ hours sleep is not enough.

(Long story xD)

Today I met someone for the first time, who I'll be seeing regularly, as we are now in the same space/s.

They're lovely. I'm curious about them. There's a lot to them as a person.

I think I gave them a good idea of who I am and how I tend to be. They seemed to understand.

I think that went well.

Sometimes, the universe tells you to take a coat.

I don't like coats, so I didn't take one.

I should have listened. xD

Another thing to add to the list of cosmic coincidences:

My brain was doing *very* bad, getting caught up on everything I've done wrong or could have done better.

...Then it started raining. Really heavy, too.

So I just.. opened the door, and sat there. Half in, half out.

And now I feel better.

Today, I took part in the Cancer Research Race for Life!
I stepped in last-minute to accompany a friend, then we spent the rest of the day hanging out - and we made a 'doduckahedron'!

I'm far more excited about the ducks to be honest, but I think Loop likes their medal.

Let's do a roundup of all the letters from different professional sectors objecting to the supreme court ruling & the EHRC's bathroom ban, and promising to defend trans people in their spaces!

For anyone feeling alone in this, look at how many people will stand with us:

LGBT Liberal Democrats and a number of other Liberal Democrats groups have called for Baroness Falkner and Bridget Phillipson to resign.
The UKSC ruling was an opportunity for the government and the EHRC to step up and commit to affirm the rights of all. They've failed on every measure, choosing to peddle hate and discrimination instead.

We've heard enough: Kishwer Falkner and Bridget Phillipson must resign.

We'd also like to see messages or signs from employers or service providers that stop trans people using single sex spaces.
