Thank you, Sian. It needs to be binned.
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.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.
Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.
We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

Clarification for anyone who needs it:
Transfeminism isn't just general positive affect towards trans women as a category of human being, nor is it anything that a trans woman happens to say she supports.

If you missed it, don’t worry, you can still speak with your MP about trans rights - just send them an email requesting a meeting.

🧵 Last week, Robin White, a barrister and trans woman, was harassed for using the women’s toilets in the Parliament.
Today, Parliament has implemented a trans bathroom ban, telling trans people that they are no longer be allowed to use toilets which align with their lived gender.
