Please don't forget about us trans people. Facing the worst attack on our rights in this country due to Labour's current transphobia. Don't forget my community. That's all I ask. Please.

Every cis person needs to read and understand this.These decisions aren’t taken lightly. Our Labour government is effectively making political refugees of trans ppl and their families who flee and seek safety overseas. It’s shameful. They can stick their dignity and respect where the sun don’t shine

The transphobes leading the Labour Party decided to exclude trans women from the Labour Women’s conference. In doing so they excluded a huge number of cis women also; the venue was only 20% full. Labour needs to learn that transphobia harms everyone, including cis women, & not just trans people.
Lots of empty seats at Labour Women’s conference.

“Alice took her own life in the fledgling years of a decade that I believe may come to be recognised the most hostile in the history of modern trans existence, at least in the uk” From the epilogue to Her Name Is Alice. This report ⤵️ shows I was right and demonstrates how we got here.

I’ve been very quiet during #suicidepreventionawarenessweek because it’s shit being constantly reminded of all the things I might have done to save Alice. The “check-in” narrative is particularly distressing. I get that its’s appealing, plenty of people have an anecdote that it saved their life…

UK government is calling for evidence on puberty suppressing hormones for children and young people with gender incongruence. It’s asking: what research has emerged since 2023. How has the evidence base changed? What makes the evidence hard to generate, evaluate and use in clinical/policy decisions?

How has evidence on puberty suppressing hormones for children and young people with gender incongruence evolved since 2023, and what challenges affect its interpretation and use?

I really enjoyed this chat. You can tell I was having a good day. Hosted by a GP with the aim to educate health care professionals through the power of books that aren’t text books, it’s still accessible to those without a healthcare background. Have a listen and forward to the medic in your life.

I didn’t attend the mass trans lobby. I was on holiday. My husband, who wasn’t coming with me, messaged our MP on 4th August to request a meeting. They replied today: “Zoe was in parliament yesterday. Sorry we had not been able to organise this on Wednesday.” Rubbish in so many ways.

I cheekily DM’d Robin a while back, for advice on how to promote my book. He’s been so kind and supportive, going out of his way to organise a small bookshop tour for us together. And when I told him I was going to the Jason Arday vigil on my own, he made sure to meet me. What an ally. What a gem.

SM is awash with sympathy and outrage for Jason Arday. None of it brings him back, which is all his loved ones crave. And when they maybe want more and fight for change, but the privileged close ranks and the comfortable forget him, so nothing changes or things worsen; I feel broken by that future.

considering how the terf/GC movement is bankrolled by the heritage foundation and how many terfs are anti-abortion, white nationalist, or have other fascist ties, i think a large amount of them are fine with this actually. or at least consider it an acceptable sacrifice to own the transes.

Kathleen Stock has written an article against
"abortion permissiveness". She claims
abortion requires "justification" saying the
state should limit "unacceptable decision-
making" by women about their own bodies.

This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as
the feminist thought leaders of our time.

What progressives won't say
about abortion
The sanitised narrative ignores
ethical truths
