The EHRC is not changing course on their bathroom ban.

They don’t care what the consultation said.

So what happens now? 🧵

The final 405-line transmitter goes on the air.

Newhaven in Sussex was an off-air relay station built by the ITA designed to fill gaps in the service.

It was a year late due to the workers being needed to work on the Emley Moor transmitter collapse.

NHS England has just published the updated Accessible Information Standard, which makes clear how NHS and social care services in England must provide information to blind and partially sighted people in a way they can read.

It's a step forward - here's what's improved:

Pride isn’t a marketing moment.

Some firms who have supported Pride are advertising on GB News – a rightwing TV channel known for pumping out hatred of LGBTQ+ people.

We’ve teamed up with Stop Funding Hate to get these companies to pull their ads.

This letter from Tony Vaughan KC, the MP for Folkestone, is the clearest articulation I’ve seen on the flaws of the interim update from the EHRC. The section titled ‘Legal Incoherence’ hits the nail on the head.

Tag your MP and ask them to support our motion in Parliament.

On Tuesday Parliament’s website will update and we’ll be able to see which MPs do the bare minimum and acknowledge we’ve been here forever and deserve dignity, respect and equality.

Change begins with education 👇
The bare minimum that MPs can do is acknowledge that Trans+ people are not a trend and we have been around for millennia. This Early Day Motion for @transhistoryweek.bsky.social gives us a foundation to build engagement from.

Ask your MP to sign the motion.

A trans woman wrote to Wetherspoons to ask which toilets they're meant to use. Wetherspoons replied acknowledging the Supreme Court's verdict...and that trans customers can use whichever loos they want to but to please lock the cubicle door.

I gave an interview to Al Jazeera on the Supreme Court judgment, and the surrounding context. I think it's possibly the best thing I've ever done (?) so give it a listen.

This is an excellent article - I have some additional thoughts from a feminist perspective on the consequences of this Supreme Court judgment, rather than just my legal ones:

Thread 🧵
The UK Supreme Court’s transphobic ruling on the definition of woman last week is a defeat for all women—even, ultimately, the self-described feminists celebrating it, and the women who will gain in the short term from their alliance with the carceral state.

my latest for @thenation.com
The UK's Anti-Trans Ruling Is a Defeat for All Women
Even the self-described feminists celebrating the Supreme Court's attempt to banish trans people from womanhood will pay a heavy price.
