In light of the Levy Review potentially giving transphobes oversight of medical research on trans healthcare, Trans Safety Network recommend English trans people OPT OUT of their healthcare data being used in research.

An important point to come out of the Sandie Peggie case is that 'gender critical' employees can't take matters into their own hands and confront trans employees. If they do that it is likely to be harassment/ bullying/ a hate incident.

Mini thread on the ET decision in Peggie
Top line: It says exactly what we have been saying for months. The decision of the Supreme Court was not to turn the Equality Act 2010 into a nationwide bathroom ban - regardless of how anti-trans organisations have sought to misrepresent the law.

Like, I'm sorry the fascists are giving you difficult choices. But that's what fascists fucking do. The only legit answer is "fuck you make me". The only answer that shows you have actual fucking principles not preferences is "fuck you make me". And that sucks. But here we are.

The very important point that, to make their “case”, transphobes have to lie about what the Supreme Court actually said, and do lie about it, every day, and the government and media colludes in their lying.
Ridiculous, both from the EHRC and the guardian reporting.

The Supreme Court did not rule that "the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex"
The judgement itself makes this clear:
