WHAT DOES *GENDER IDEOLOGY" MEAN? "Gender ideology" is a made-up term used by those who oppose trans and LGBTQ+ rights. It suggests being transgender or non-binary is part of a radical agenda rather than a lived reality. It is often used to portray LGBTQ+ identities as unnatural. Frame trans rights as a threat to society. Justify discrimination while sounding 'reasonable'.

So, we waited for the Your Party conference. We were promised, by Your Party's defenders, a resounding and unambiguous victory for trans rights. Then we got to see a bunch of transphobic BS happen on stage.

Has there been a vote? Is there now an official position? Or is it still just a mess?

"Have you considered waiting for the conference in November before accusing Your Party of being transphobic? Because we're having a vote on whether to support trans then. Me, I don't have a problem with them. I was actually in the same room as Jeremy when he said he wasn't bothered about it either."

This is the most uplifting (& funny) discussion ever with Kellie @IndiaWilloughby

The female audience and hosts adored these two incredible trans women. We need to see more of this to help celebrate trans people and show the world our worth.

The “trans debate” reduces trans lives to a policy dilemma. This is an evasion of moral responsibility.

“treating somebody with ‘dignity and respect’ does not include enabling and engaging in widespread public discourse about the locations that people could be banned from entering.”
If respect is the goal, why are we debating where trans people can exist
As Bridget Phillipson weighs new ‘single-sex space’ guidance, the debate reduces trans lives to a policy dilemma. This is an evasion of moral responsibility, writes columnist Aimee Walsh

So true. Musk came from a rich family. Richard Branson did too. Maybe we need to tax the billionaires more, especially when they die. That way their children really can work their way back up 'if' it's that easy to do without monied backing.

“Cis” is not a slur.

Saying “Cis is a slur” is an indication that the person saying it is a transphobe however.

If you’ve been thinking about applying for the EHRC Commissioner roles, please, please do!

Falkner and Reindorf will soon be out and there is a real desire for representatives of our 🏳️‍⚧️ community on the Board.

Be quick though — the deadline is midday on Monday 1st December

It’s not too late, and there is a real desire for people from the trans community to apply

archive.ph/UQia8

Application details here:
apply-for-public-appointment.service.gov.uk/roles/9026?b...
It is understood that some Labour MPs as well as figures in the wider policy sector believe the current impasse is a distraction from other pressing issues, including the rise of the far right and its impact on the communities served by the EHRC. They have been encouraging applications for the commissioner roles from those they feel take a more nuanced approach to trans inclusion. One Labour backbencher said: “As these posts are coming up, it’s important to have that broad range of experience and expertise on the board, and within those discussions we’ve been saying please do encourage people from the trans community to consider it, or have you thought of applying? “That broad range was essential from when EHRC was first set up but may have been narrowed with more political appointments under the Conservatives. “When a group of us met some of the current board members and the current chair, we felt very strongly that an understanding of the impact of the supreme court ruling on the trans community wasn’t there.” Another Labour backbencher said they hoped more people would apply: “We need commissioners with real world experience of the issues they grapple with.” Stonewall said the arrival of the new chair and commissioners was an opportunity “to rebuild an EHRC that re-establishes fairness, balance, and respect at its core”. CEO Simon Blake said: “We are living in a time of uncertainty and turbulence for many; this is an opportunity to review the strategic approach of our National Human Rights Institute so everyone – including trans people – can benefit from the rights and freedoms the EHRC is constituted to protect and defend.”
