A transphobic pressure group is trying to ban trans women from Hampstead women’s pond – it's time to fight back.

30 more women to tip this over 55k today? The calm, compassionate, inclusive feminists, who might not have seen the amazing support received for the trans community and the rejection of hate so far? Go on…

Sian Berry MP @sianberry.bsky.social · 11d

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents.

I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights.

Hi, are you trying to make a donation to @goodlawproject.bsky.social from the US? They might be able to help if so. We don’t have a donation link directly from our letter you see

We’d love that. He echoed our message in the recent @boldpolitics.bsky.social podcast.

Happy for him to share please. We are trying to reach cis women with the letter. We know from conversations and support received so far, that there are many women who don’t agree with the narrative that trans people are a threat. If he can share or support trans orgs in any way, that would be great

🩷 Every signature sends reassurance to the trans+ community that those whose aim is segregation, do not speak for us

As a collective of cis (not trans) women from every corner of society, we’ve been blown away by the response.

Your backing shows there is a different conversation to be had - but we must keep it going.
