Institutional transphobia means trans people are absented from institutional discussions about their lives. In courts, the absence of trans voices leads to abstracted doctrinal analysis that fails to grasp the impact of decisions on trans lives. We need to challenge this legal politics of erasure.
We are going to see a deluge of cases brought against institutions that (I think lawfully) want to continue to adopt trans inclusive policies. We will run an accelerated process to hire an equalities lawyer to advise them and (try and) ensure trans voices in those cases.
The fight for the rights and dignities of trans people is a fight against the thin edge of fascism. It's a hill we are willing to fight and die on. If you'd like to support us with a donation dedicated to trans rights, you can do so here. I am donating £1,000. goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

The state of the newspapers this morning: a near-universal attack on trans people, most of it grossly exaggerating the implication of yesterday's ruling. Almost joyous in its spite.

“Gay ideology” usually refers to gay people being visible, expressing our identities, forming communities, fighting for our rights, etc. Now “gender ideology” evokes similar in relation to trans folk. And when LGBT people become an “ideology,” our humanity degrades and we become targets for erasure.

Masses of people deported. Trans folk erased. Abortion denied. Sex policing. These are examples of current authoritarianism. We can defeat such politics by connecting across issues and refusing division. If you’re “pro-LGBT” but racist or “pro-migrant” but homo/transphobic, you only enable fascism.

Today is the start of LGBT History Month in the UK. It’s tempting to imagine our history as one of linear progress but recent events remind us that progress is precarious.

Trans and feminist scholars/scientists have repeatedly warned us about the dangerous consequences of sex policing, including in sport. In addition to the blanket exclusion of trans and intersex women, the invasive bodily testing enables stigma, abuse, and shame for other groups of women too.
World Athletics said Mon. it plans to go back to mandatory sex testing for ALL women, ban all trans women and DSD athletes, and return to requiring cheek swabs, a version of chromosome testing discontinued in the 1990s for being unscientific, harmful & invasive. www.reuters.com/sports/athle...
