Don't worry, just our fabulous and wonderful Secretary of State for Health & Social Care singling out trans women for segregation from wider society. No biggie.

Streeting had an interview with the founder of Mumsnet archive.ph/Ys6u4

Alt text: Screenshot of a text conversation discussing the impact of a Supreme Court ruling on biological sex and the Equality Act. It questions NHS policies about sex-segregated spaces and mentions waiting for EHRC guidance. The text expresses concerns about mixed-sex spaces, women's rights, and safety. There is a call to ensure inclusive and dignified spaces for trans individuals without affecting women's spaces.

Alt text: A text conversation discussing LGBT rights, focusing on spaces for trans women, empathy, understanding, and a balanced, compassionate approach.

Just goes to show, I suppose, how far down the rabbit hole we are when a conversation about a dog in prison garners more sympathy and less need for "balance" than one about an entire marginalised community who weren't invited on to speak for themselves.

Listening to the Nolan Show this morning because clearly I'm a glutton for punishment.

Just think it's really fascinating how differently Stephen & guests speak about trans people versus how they speak about Bailey the dog. That dog has been humanised more than the entire trans community.

Since I posted this fundraiser two days ago on my 10 year tranniversary I've raised over half my original goal of £15k.

I never expected it to go this well or to get this much support from, frankly, extremely generous queers. If you can donate or share, it is greatly appreciated.

In Ballymena today as it holds its 1st ever pride, but also where some disgusting bigots have dumped slurry on the parade route.

A huge thank you to the businesses who have rallied round to clean up the mess.

The lesson for these bigots, Pride goes on. We’ve dealt with your shit for far too long.

Anyone who has transitioned privately will know that £15k, while a life-changing start, certainly won't be the end of the road. Certain gender affirming surgeries alone can cost upwards of that.

If I think I might hit the target (which, honestly, I never thought I would) it might shift up a bit!

Guess who's being vulnerable online again?

Today is my ten year tranniversary. Ten years since I came out having stolen a dress from my granny and taking a selfie for Instagram. Ten years of being in this beautiful, wonderful, community. And ten years of limited access to care.

I've decided to bite the bullet and just do it, because ten years in things should really be in a different place for me and for any trans person. If we don't do it ourselves, who on earth will do it for us. So there.

Any donations or shares greatly appreciated x

I decided to fundraise now, honestly, in the wake of the FWS judgment. Things are just getting so much worse, and it is getting harder to do public campaigning and advocacy on trans rights and as a trans woman.

It takes a toll and, to be blunt, it would be easier if I wasn't also so dysphoric.

This was an extremely fun and interesting discussion to record on my bank holiday Monday.

We got deep into the weeds on some of these issues in a way that I don't often get the opportunity to in the media. Give it a listen if you're not sick of listening to me harping on about thon transgenders

don't know if it's been *completely* debunked. The letter may still exist, even if it isn't official council policy, and that's still worrying. trying to get to the bottom of it!

Sounds more like 'toilet don't ask don't tell' to me, with minoritised staff and visitors bearing the brunt of DIY enforcement and formal complaints without policy backing?

They're walking this back. And they're walking it back because in the sober light of day they strongly suspect the EHRC guidance is unlawful - and if they follow it they will get sued. www.scotsman.com/news/politic...
