This authoritarian approach to policing gendered spaces is terrifying. This is how trans/NB folks get excluded from public life. And it'll hurt cis folks too. This helps no-one.
jessdkant.bsky.social Jesspooka Kant 🎃 @jessdkant.bsky.social · Aug 8
EHRC now saying that not only should trans people be excluded from sex segregated spaces, but ALSO those matching birth sex:

“A legitimate aim for excluding a trans person from … service for their own biological sex …to prevent alarm or distress for other service users.”
archive.ph/2025.08.07-2...
The Times understands that the guidance is still being finalised and it will not decree that services have to provide single-sex spaces, but that if they do - for example if a lavatory is intended for women - transgender women would be excluded from using it. To allow someone of the opposite sex to use the facilities would be very likely to amount to unlawful discrimination. It will also make clear that it will not be deemed as discrimination to exclude trans people from those facilities and that services will be allowed to request birth certificates to ensure single-sex services are protected. It read: "A legitimate aim for excluding a trans person from a separate or single-sex service for their own biological sex might be to prevent alarm or distress for other service users. "A trans man might be excluded from the women-only service if the service provider decides that, because he presents as a man, other service users could reasonably object to his presence, and it is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim to exclude him".

If you're in the UK, start contacting your local government, start raising a stink about this unconscionably cruel bathroom ban, call their offices, visit them in person, flood them with complaints about this, and keep the pressure up.

Also, maybe support @goodlawproject.org?

Been super inactive recently, but I offer a new portfolio piece! It was initially supposed to be greyscale, but I loved the rusty look too much to remove it.

None of us are free until *all* of us are free ✨
Illustration of a group of characters drawn in a cartoon, midcentury-style. They are at pride and the whole piece is a rainbow gradient with the characters in different colours. A sign held by the character at the top says “none of us are free until all of us are free”

Terrorism powers should never have been used to aggravate criminal charges against Palestine Action activists and they certainly shouldn't be used to ban them.

one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable

that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

Israel have shown there are NO red lines they will not cross in this genocide. Not a single one.
Our governments have actively enabled them to reach this point.
Please email your MP calling for sanctions and an arms embargo, donate to aid organisations, keep sharing and speaking.

Another year of ethnic cleansing, another year of Israel getting to perform at Eurovision.
Israel has form using the arts to launder its reputation. A fun "apolitical" song contest is used as cultural cover for apartheid and genocide.

So, I'll be boycotting this year, and I hope you do too.

A new collage! Also inspired by Solfach, Pembrokeshire, cause that place unlocked something in my brain. 🌊☀️
