That's right! We should destroy human rights so that Keir Starmer can win* the next general election!

Mini thread on the ET decision in Peggie

Top line: It says exactly what we have been saying for months. The decision of the Supreme Court was not to turn the Equality Act 2010 into a nationwide bathroom ban - regardless of how anti-trans organisations have sought to misrepresent the law.

1/ What’s the topline?

The @goodlawproject.bsky.social challenged the Equality Watchdog’s ‘interim update’ on the Supreme Court ruling, which reexamined the meaning of ‘woman’ under the Equality Act.

"Because here’s the truth: this so-called ‘bathroom ban’ won’t protect anyone. It will only breed suspicion, hostility, and humiliation.

And all of it could have been avoided if the people in power had chosen empathy over ideology."

We have heard that the Green Party has passed a motion at conference calling for desegregation of trans healthcare and to end the practice of GICs and to move it to primary care.

And you can definitely see why they voted for it here:

When seeking healthcare (whether for general healthcare or transition-related care), we know that most trans people in the UK don't experience the high standards of care they ought to be able to expect from healthcare professionals.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth.

Many complied and shut down their programs.

Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care.

And now, they just beat Trump in court.

A new report from TransActual demonstrates not only the emotional toll, but the degree to which trans people are having to reshape and limit their lives to avoid the new dangers posed to us in the UK.

Read the report at: tinyurl.com/community-li...

#Trans #EqualityAct #EHRC #TransRights
Text reads: “I've never seen a single issue unite the LGBTQ+ community so much. It's like you can feel this fire and power. We have a such a long road ahead of us. It's going to be hard especially when we are hurting so much right now and expecting more to come but we're united.” -trans woman in her 30s tinyurl.com/community-living-in-fear Image of the front cover of the report on a pink and purple background. Text reads: “It has taken decades to move away from biological essentialism which men justified to keep women quiet, and without the rights we have today. Now we have a new wave of anti-trans bigots who seek to roll back protections and re-introduce biological essentialism and justify it. My womanhood is and contains more than just my fucking vagina. It’s a huge, scary ruling and I’m deeply concerned about the potential reach it may have. ” -cis queer woman in West Yorkshire tinyurl.com/community-living-in-fear Image of the front cover of the report on a pink and purple background. “The recent ruling has made me worried for my safety in that it will embolden those who want to eradicate trans people. I have given up any idea of participation in the sports club I used to be a part of. As a longstanding NHS employee, I feel unable to continue in a public facing role and am looking to move into non-clinical work for another organisation. I am looking at the possibility of emigrating but this would be disruptive to my young family.” -trans woman working for the NHS, considering emigration tinyurl.com/community-living-in-fear Image of the front cover of the report on a pink and purple background. Text reads: “The UK is awful to intersex and trans women and I want to run away to Canada or Estonia with my fiancée so we can just live peacefully happily married. I can’t stand the constant hate online and in person that's deemed acceptable because politicians are being actively hateful. The equality minister blatantly saying ‘we’re discriminating to stop discrimination’ what??? It’s heartbreaking. What can we do?” -intersex trans woman tinyurl.com/community-living-in-fear Image of the front cover of the report on a pink and purple background.

As you may have seen, the EHRC delivered their updated Code of Practice to the UK Government’s Minister for Equalities last week. It is now up to the Minister to approve the Code, or to ask the EHRC to make further changes. Contact your MP: www.scottishtrans.org/codeofpracti...
Graphic with a pink,blue and white gradient background. It says "Update: EHRC delivers Code of Practice to the UK Equalities Minister." The Scottish Trans and Equality Network logos are at the bottom. Graphic with a pink,blue and white gradient background. It says "What can you do? - Email, Call, Meet with your MP! We have a template developed by TransActual, or use your own words - we need MPs to understand the real, everyday impact of this Code! (Link in bio) - Support your trans friends and community members! See what they need and what actual support you can provide - be that emotional or physical (for example - picking up groceries, attending appointments with them, making sure they have a safe person to access public spaces with.)"

So pleased we made this happen.
What's so striking, is that this 10-volume dossier represents just ❗0.73%❗of the 50,000+ responses the EHRC have received.
The EHRC have been totally overwhelmed by the response.
Huge, huge thanks to everyone who shared their submissions with us.

There’s a lot of talk about the ‘trans agenda’, but what is it that trans people actually want?

Read about our dream (and our reality): transactual.org.uk/the-dream-vs-reality

What else would you add to the trans agenda?

#Trans #Transgender #Nonbinary #TransRights #Liberation #DreamVsReality
Text is printed as if on a flyer. It says: the real trans agenda. 1. Timely trans healthcare. 2. End pathologisation: provide informed consent healthcare. 3. Ban conversion practices. 4. End the ban on puberty blockers. 5. Legal gender self-ID. 6. Clean up the EHRC. 7. An inquiry into historical abuse in NHS Gender Clinics. 8. End trans torture in prisons. 9. Gender inclusive data standards. 10. Treat LGBTQ+ asylum seekers with respect. 11. 11. Our rights under the Equality Act and GRA fully restored. At the bottom of the graphic are the My Genderation, Lush and TransActual logos.)
