It's here! Know your rights. A resource for trans people in the UK following the Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act. It has been reviewed by a team of lawyers to help you (and us) feel confident in knowing your rights.

Frustratingly a job I was really excited about has fallen through at the last minute due to a lawyer screwing up.

Turn on the little feature that reminds you to post alt text with your images. Alt text allows blind and partially sighted people to understand what's in your images using screen readers. Without alt text, it just says "image".
