Its good there’s people pushing pro trans things within the labour party but i do wish they could understand that when you say “the only way back to trans rights is through the labour party one way or another“ that is very upsetting actually cause all i hear is that we’re fucked then

The whole thing is a bigoted disgrace. The cis don't have to tell each other if they are married, if they have herpes, if they are a Tory, if they've been convicted of horrendous offences. But if we fail to disclose we're trans, off to prison we go and have to sign the sex offenders register.

I’ve now read the CPS consultation response on “deception as to sex”. And I am fucking furious. The CPS actually asked whether its approach properly balanced the rights of trans people to live fully in their acquired gender against the rights of complainants.

None of it is good enough. Not anything Labour have done or have promised they'll do is good enough. I'm sick of talk, talk is cheap. I'm sick of many of our lives getting worse as each year passes because everything has been worn down to the bone and nobody in power will do a damn thing about it.

If you’re wanting to figure out your gender, you’re better off talking to your trans friends than you are seeing a “gender therapist” about it. No, your trans friends will not just push you to transition. That’s social contagion crap. What they will do is tell you about their experiences. They’ll

For all that it's been barely reported in the UK press, it's still hard to understate the importance of the stance @labourunionsuk.bsky.social has taken on trans and non-binary rights this week. Every single trade union affiliated to the party of government has stood up and said we will not comply.

Joint statement from National TULO

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community

Labour's 11 affiliated trade unions stand in total solidarity with the trans and non-binary community.

Trans rights are human rights, and trans rights are workers' rights.

We in the trade union movement will do all we can to stand up for our trans members and all our trans siblings, to protect them from persecution, harassment and attack.

The government must act now to protect all trans people, to make sure their rights are protected, expanded and upheld in our workplaces and communities.

When the far right tell you it’s about protecting women and children, but will inevitably react to this headline on social media with “laugh” reacts, you know it’s not about protecting women and children at all. It’s about flexing their racist muscles. Why? Because they’re racist c*nts. That’s why.

Sex Matters' claim that the Sex by Deception guidance by the CPS is not transphobic enough has been dismissed: Sex Matters v Director of Public Prosecutions www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u... DPP agreed before the case to make some changes to the guidance, which we will need to see how it's changed

"The outcome
156. For the reasons we have explained at paras 123-134 above, we do not accept that a
suspect’s deception as to their gender identity is incapable of vitiating consent to sexual
activity for the purposes of section 74 SOA whatever the circumstances. In order to
avoid any misunderstanding, we emphasise that our decision goes no further than that.
We do not conclude that a deception as to gender identity will negate a complainant’s
consent to sexual activity; whether or not a particular deception has that effect will fall
for consideration on the basis of the circumstances and evidence in the case in question.
However, on the current state of the law we cannot conclude in advance of such cases
arising that a deception as to gender identity could never negate a complainant’s consent
and it would be unwise and inappropriate for us to do so.
157. It follows that we have rejected the claimant’s Ground 1. The DPP’s Deception
Guidance does not wrongly state the law in this regard (paras 135-142 above).
158. We have also rejected the claimant’s Ground 2, as the DPP’s guidance does not present
a misleading picture of the true legal position, as we have explained at paras 145-153
above.
159. Accordingly, we will dismiss the claim"
