If you are helping someone get out of the toilet okay you don't need to get all "Trans Rights!" you can just say "hey bro/sis I wondered where you were come hang with me" and leave together.

Again, making spaces safe, making yourself safe when people threaten you etc is not about what's legal but about de-escalation and getting the fuck out of an unsafe situation. Toilet harassment can happen to anyone, being part of the community working against it can be done by anyone.

Time is of the essence and we need to fight the EHRC interim guidance before it becomes statutory and Parliament make it law.
Don’t just shout about it, write to them. Also tell the media, if you can get them to care. I’ve posted this on Instagram.
Speak to your unions and staff networks at work

This is a really bad idea and I don't recommend anyone carries these cards made by translucent.
If you are challenged in the loos finish your business there, leave quietly and peacefully, start filming if you are being threatened and get the fuck to safety first and foremost

cis people you can just do this
you can make it impossible for them to police any of this and all it will take is a trans flag badge

I'm pretty sure if I went into a public British bathroom this week with a trans flag tshirt on there is a good chance of my being told to leave, regardless of which bathroom I tried to use, or my 'biological sex'.
And that is the point.

If the case hadn't been corrupt and the GCs had lost they'd have a protest of about 30 people in one city
The sun is out, and there must be thousands here. This is giving me life.

If you’re going to a protest today, remember not to hold a preprinted sign. They’re nearly always from the SWP, who are rape apologists and don’t care about trans rights - they’re just opportunists who use protests to recruit and fundraise

@prideinlabour.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social just had an email from Angela Rayner asking for donations. You HAVE to be joking. You’ve lied to get votes and have thrown trans people under the bus, taken away existing care, and put their lives in danger. I hate you!

It's more than comrade Delta, one of our younger trans comrades whistleblew on his experiences in the SWP a year ago.
RIP frog
RIP frog
reminder for UK people protesting today - do not accept a sign from the Socialist Worker's Party and certainly don't wave one around unless you remove their branding first
(search for "Comrade Delta" for reasons why)

👨⚖️ The UK Supreme Court just redefined what a lesbian is
🧵👇
🧵👇
![Perhaps most concerningly, the Supreme Court adopts extremely transphobic rhetoric concerning transfeminine lesbians.
The Court concludes that a lesbian “must be a [AFAB] female who is sexually oriented towards (or attracted to) [AFAB] females”. The Court concludes that female here cannot include trans women, as the “concept of sexual orientation” would be “rendered meaningless”, and in its opinion, wrongly affect the composition of lesbians as a group.
The Court claims this would lead to an “inevitable loss of autonomy and dignity for lesbians”. It points to evidence from gender-critical groups like the LGB Alliance and The Lesbian Project to make this argument. They claim the inclusion of trans women is having a ‘chilling effect on lesbians’ to associate in lesbian-only spaces. The vast majority of lesbians reject this claim.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i7aox3qj5gv2bqvlclpwcw5u/bafkreicrxzlblscgchacobotqqxbvfhiyclwilbbzjs363mwf65meyssly@jpeg)

Manchester says #TransRights, we're not a group of well funded transphobes celebrating bigotry in the sunshine with champagne and flowers. We're a community standing in the rain, on a dark day for human rights, here to support each other, spread love & hope, not fear & hate. Xoxo
