Hi, Bluesky!

We're a small grassroots organisation in Edinburgh, Scotland dedicated to fighting transphobia, championing trans liberation and joy and a safer future for trans youth.

Very proud to have curated this Special Issue in the @mja.com.au on #gender & health.

Amid growing backlash against #genderequity & diversity, we sought to elevate work informed by evidence & respect for the rights, dignity and perspectives of affected populations.

“The Cass Review's contradictions are striking. It acknowledged some trans young people benefit from [blockers], but its recommendations have made this currently inaccessible to all. It found no evidence psychological treatments improve gender dysphoria, yet recommended expanding their provision.”
Cass Review does not guide care for trans young people
Good medicine is guided by the values of the patient, not those of a clinician, politician or commentator. The Cass Review, lacking expertise and compromised by implicit stigma and misinformation, doe...

The ongoing moral manic about trans people did not just arise organically.

Well-funded propaganda organisations associated with the so-called Christian right have deliberately stoked it as part of their broader campaign attacking the rights of women, gay people and others.

A timeline of the actions of the extemist anti-trans hate movement in the UK

This has got to me a bit today so here we go.

No Rebecca we can't have a calm discussion for the way forward when one side's intention is to eliminate us, secondly the heat is coming from one side, it's the side accusing trans people of being paedophiles, rapists, cheats and predators.

For 6+years non stop, they have demonised every single one of us as predators, paedophiles and child mutilators. There can be no “conversations” with these ghouls.

We’re hearing that EHRC’s updated Code is now with the Minister for Equalities.

Now, more than ever, it’s critical to write to your MP to get them to pressure her for a debate & vote in Parliament, not for this Code to become statutory automatically.

Please do write; template letter linked below 🙏

Success! We delivered our joint letter demanding full scrutiny, meaningful debate & a free vote for MPs on the new Code of Practice.
www.thepinknews.com/2025/09/02/e...

Many MPs we’ve spoken to are now ready to help.

❗️BUT they’ve advised that they need you—as constituents—to keep writing in❗️

LGBTQ+ groups have called on the UK government to table a debate regarding the updates to the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) single-sex code of practice.

More than 80 organisations and groups signed a joint letter calling on equalities minister Bridget Phillipson to stage a “meaningful debate” once the revamped guidance had been published.

The UK’s equality watchdog proposed updates to its Code of Practice on Services, Public Functions and Associations, in April, shortly after the Supreme Court ruled on the definitions of “woman” and “sex” in the 2010 Equality Act.

Allow me a moment to be a bit of a mother…

Please look after yourself today.

Sure, do the things that help like emailing your MP, but balance this with being present and doing things that bring you joy.

Close this app. Speak to friends and plan something fun to do this weekend and focus on that.

The Edinburgh Council Bathroom ban.
The day began well. But then we found out that the councillors were simply required to be there to rubber stamp a decision that had already been made by Council officials. The officials have forgotten that:

Guess what?
The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions.

It has been six years since the Gender Autonomy Act was passed in Iceland. In those six years, none of the usual fears that anti-trans advocates warn against have manifested - and trans people, non-binary people and intersex people have enjoyed increased rights and protections.

trans rights isn't a single issue, it's an indexing issue

a politician willing to dump all evidence & get behind anti-trans rhetoric for votes, they're showing you something important. they're showing they'll give up any principle at all for political expediency

are you so sure you won't be next?

The same influencers that Amnesty identify here have been driving the anti-trans narrative in the UK for the past few years.
amnestyuk.bsky.social
🚨This isn’t history. It’s a plan for our future.

Amnesty UK has exposed powerful & well-funded groups that are working to stop women, LGBTI+ people & children making decisions over our bodies, health & futures.

This matters to all of us as everyone’s rights are at risk.

Join us in exposing them.
