Way too Slow with an Empty skull. 100% Woke.
Early 2000s, I edited a Trans news site called TNUK. Late 2000s I suffered transphobia at work, I withdrew from RL into a virtual world.
2020s Ukraine, Gaza, anti-Trans & anti-Migrant policies have woken me up.

FYI The EHRC are hiding the consultation responses till after the Code is law

Wise folks at @transactualuk.bsky.social & @tacc.org.uk collected 10 volumes of the submissions
& sent them direct to Bridget Phillipson & Nia Griffiths offices.

You can view them there

As the EHRC refuses to make public evidence for its new guidance, MPs can find out how trans people have responded by asking the Minister Post author By jane fae Post date 5 September 2025 For immediate release: 5 September 2025 Our friends at TACC have discovered yet more evidence of shocking EHRC cover-up.

They simply need to go to the offices of Equalities Ministers Bridget Phillipson and Nia Griffith, and ask to read the completely uncensored submissions already in their possession.

Trans human rights are under attack in the UK. You have individually clearly supported us in the past, but since the launch of Your Party, nothing. The "We're waiting to see what our members want," is zero help against all the bigotry we are facing now.

This EHRC Code of Practice process explainer is very clear. We must be in no doubt; there are probably more difficult times ahead. I need to find more strength for human rights resistance struggles ahead.

A super clear and easy to digest article that explains the rot within the EHRC and also the various positive actions we can take.

"The NEC has also banned local party branches from passing motions which state they disagree with April’s Supreme Court judgment that the word sex in the Equality Act means biological sex and not self-identified gender."

This is just evil.

It is naturally going to be scary, but sometimes I guess a person needs to stand up for their basic rights.

MASS LOBBY AGAINST EHRC GUIDANCE

Trans+ people and allies - join us in Parliament on the 25th June

Register and find more information on our website: transsolidarityalliance.com
Join our mass lobbying day - wednesday 25th June 1-4pm - Against the EHRC Guidance. Together we can make a difference. Register via www.transsolidarityalliance.com Trans+ Solidarity Alliance logo. Unite 4 Trans Rights logo. A picture of a trans flag being held over Westminster Palace. WHAT IS A MASS LOBBY? A mass lobby is when a group of people contact their MP or contact members of the House of Lords and arrange to meet them in parliament on the same day and at the same time. It's a great way of making it clear to parliamentarians that their constituents (or in the case of the House of Lords, UK citizens) are passionate about an issue, and is an effective way of encouraging them to take action. WE WILL BE RELEASING INFORMATION PACKS TRANS+ OR ALLY WE NEED YOU! The Equalities and Human Rights Commission has produced a draft code of guidance to the Equality Act that - if implemented - will have a devastating impact on the day to day lives of trans+ people in the UK, excluding them from settings ranging from specialist support services to gym changing rooms and toilets. We need our parliamentarians to step up and speak out NOW to prevent this draft guidance becoming law. Join us on 25th June you can register via our website www.transsolidarityalliance.com REGISTER TO COME! Let's demand better for Trans+ people in the UK!

Liberty has launched a legal action against the EHRC over the public body's decision to hold a shortened consultation on changes to their Code of practice. UK courts have established that consultation periods should be at least 12 weeks when possible.
