We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

I’m going to post a thread of some of the useful links and resources that have been shared in our accompanying Padlet, either by myself and my #UKSG2025 fellow panellists or attendees.
#UKSG2025 conference panel done - went excellently, largely due to the presence of @jsendall.bsky.social @playbrarian.uk and @jofitz.bsky.social. Never had so much response after a talk, with people thanking us and saying how impactful it was, how it resonated with them. Genuinely touched!
