Happy #AceWeek from this asexual 💜

Learning that I'm asexual has been life changing in different ways. Throughout my 20s I felt like something was wrong with me. Having an answer was both a relief and scary.

Ace Week is an opportunity to reflect on what the community needs, and to take action.

The EHRC's interim guidance is gone, but the damage lingers.

The fight is far from over as a potentially worse code looms large.

To our trans members: your rights are VALID. Exercise them. Know that we see you, we support you, and we will NOT let this go. goodlawproject.org/ehrc-withdra...
EHRC withdraws interim guidance encouraging trans exclusion | Good Law Project
After six months of confusion and delay, the EHRC has taken down interim guidance rushed out in April. But the damage has already been done.

Today, our members marched at Trans+ Pride in London 🏳️‍⚧️ - standing shoulder to shoulder with our trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and intersex family in the life sciences sector.

Trans+ Rights ARE Human Rights.We will not stay silent as the trans community is legislated out of existence.
