The estimated number of deaths so far due to USAID cuts are truly mind-boggling. Musk will be complicit in the unnecessary deaths of millions of people.

LGBTI movements are driving change but they’re being outspent, outmatched, and underfunded. Meanwhile, anti-LGBTI forces are ramping up funding to roll back rights.

That’s why the Fund Our Futures campaign exists. The goal is $150M by June 25. 👉 Learn more: fundourfutures.org

The EHRC Guidance is a wicked exercise in removing rights from trans people - and is bad too for employers and service providers, those outside gender norms, people with disabilities and the economy.

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

Yesterday the Supreme Court said (having refused to hear from any trans people): "this interpretation would not be disadvantageous to or remove protection from trans people with or without a GRC."

Sąd Najwyższy wydał przełomowy wyrok. Polskie prawo nie może wykluczać, dyskryminować i dzielić polskich rodzin. Osoby transpłciowe, które chcą dokonać korekty płci, nie będą musiały już pozywać własnych rodziców, a sprawy o uzgodnienie płci, będą się toczyły droga nieprocesową!

Trump's Executive Order defines “female” as someone who produces eggs & “male” as someone who produces sperm. "My intersex body, like the bodies of many intersex people, does not produce either gametes, arguably leaving us in legal limbo." @xoxykz.bsky.social

My existence as an intersex American was finally acknowledged, then erased four days later
Federal government now defines sex as 'male' and 'female.'
