This will be my thread concerning my FOIA Request to the EHRC. I think I got some actually worthwhile files, but I'll start with sharing the files so that other people can get their eyes on them.
They provided considerable correspondence between EHRC staff and antitrans orgs.

i started hormones in HRT and straight up went to a clinic open house thinking i was just gonna get some info and walked out with a script. i was so happy that i gave a dude asking for change like $20. informed consent fucks. if u are thinking about HRT u should try it u can always decide to stop
hrt isnt scary, rle is fuckin scary, thats what kept me in the closet until i was almost 30, they still make people do it some places, like how many trans women heard about informed consent for the first time in the late '10s and went "oh shit for real?" and got on estrogen within weeks or days

Trump literally owns properties in several countries that he has threatened or that have vowed to defend Greenland.
While I'm all for sanctions to stop a war, if that's what it takes, they haven't even tried going after the low hanging fruit of targeted sanctions against the people doing this.

To those who are claiming that it'd be too cruel and extreme for the EU to cut off American tourist visas now (or to otherwise sanction or inconvenience us Americans in any way)....
You're REALLY not gonna like what happens if the madman Trump is permitted to set off a hot war with Europe.

This move by Streeting is evil, and it's also gaslighting to call banning the world standard, evidence-based care recommended for trans kids. It's conversation therapy and forced detransition, and criminalisation if you try to save yourself or your own kids.
In a screeching u-turn from its Manifesto the Government now backs conversion therapy for trans people. That is what 'supporting' trans youth but denying them the medicine they need to physically transition means.

ICE murdered a Cuban man at a concentration camp on American soil built and staffed using our tax dollars
🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
