I make businesses work better. I inspire people to see they can do things they never thought possible. I advocate for equal rights. I counsel and help female founders grow their businesses. I'm doing the same myself.

If they are going after you it doesn't prove you are getting it right; but if they are not going after you it does prove you are getting if wrong.

Congratulations to @transsolidarity.bsky.social for this characteristically incoherent hit piece from The Times. archive.ph/2025.11.02-2...

🚨We need your help. The NHS CYP gender service is consulting on the draft specification and it closes on Sunday. This is, sadly horrifically being driven by non experts in the field of gender incongruence and based upon the much-discredited Cass Review 1/

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents.

I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights.

I feel the time is approaching therefore for the UK to be red-flagged as a State engaging in steps tending towards Cultural Genocide for the purposes of the definitions used by these well respected early warning systems.

This is why it's important that we collect people's responses. If you can, when you've completed the "consultation", please send your answers to TransActual - policy@transactual.org.uk - so we can ensure that government sees your answers. 1/2
IMPORTANT

I’ve heard EHRC consultation responses will likely be outsourced to a company that will use AI to read them.

So, whilst using templates is convenient and less stressful, responses must be sufficiently individual to not be considered mass produced or copies, or they won’t be counted.

Thank you ! This is very much needed. I will make sure we get this out to our communities.
I’ve tabled NC122 to the Crime and Policing Bill to make hate crimes against people because of their sexual orientation, transgender identity or disability an aggravated offence. We must treat these offences with the seriousness they deserve. Please ask your MP to sign NC122.
