5/ The word Transgender has been erased, in all but one title
When referring to transgender people, the only time the term is used is in the subtitle for the LGBT section. Otherwise all references are to "gender questioning" or the Equality Law protected characteristic of "gender reassignment"

New statutory guidance, published today, will take effect from September 1st, 2026.
It instructs schools to avoid using material that "encourages pupils to question their gender", as well as adopting a number of other gender-critical perspectives into the curriculum

Exactly right. The JPAC decision notice they've based this off states to use female ranges; but for a trans man stable on HRT, this could allow them to donate at levels below safe limits.

To summarise: This is more or less a stealth ban on trans women donating blood in the UK, as they won't meet the male requirements. I suspect this is unintentional, with no malice intended.
I'd be interested if this would count as direct discrimination under EqA. 9/9

Dachau opened in March 1933 as a concentration camp for political prisoners. It didn't become an extermination camp until much later. The lesson is that this starts slowly until the atrocities are inevitable. We're on that march now.

The media coverage around the Florida concentration camp seems familiar.
From the NYT covering the opening of Dachau in the summer of 1933.
