I dunno if I was wanting to indicate that my new government was going to be different to the last one, I might hire some new faces from my 400 MPs to be in my cabinet and not stick with the same dozen ghouls that killed my party’s approval ratings

Streeting confirming that he won't stand in a leadership election failing to mention that it's because his treatment of trans people has led the traditional right of labour who are quite overwhelmingly lgbt+ to abandon him so he'd only get 7 votes is very funny, pop the prosecco everyone

Met with my MP about the EHRC Code of Practice. Spoke about the impact it would have on me as a trans man, my access to toilets, sports & my Gender Recognition Certificate. Overall, it was good, she was very supportive. But the atmosphere felt like we’d all accepted we’re fighting a losing battle.

Motion to reject the EHRC's
Code of Practice
Alongside colleagues, I have tabled a motion to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for services, public functions and associations. We cannot support it, and we have a responsibility to our trans constituents to resist it.
This motion is currently the only available mechanism through which Parliament can reject the EHRC's Code of Practice; if it is debated and passed within the 40-day scrutiny window, it would prevent the Code from being issued by the EHRC and coming into force.
Please email your MP asking them to sign
EDM 240.The Code will exclude trans people from services and facilities that they have long used without issue, putting them at increased risk of harassment and violence, and effectively pushing them out of public life.
It ushers in an era of enforced segregation for trans people, the policing of which will be outsourced to service providers, including businesses, charities and public bodies.In the statement to the House of Commons yesterday, the Minister even suggested that where members of the public are unsure of someone's gender within a single-sex facility,
"most people will have the common sense to step in where necessary or, if they are concerned, to alert a member of staff."
Meanwhile, this guidance does not give clarity and confidence to organisations that want to be trans-inclusive. Its impact also extends beyond the rights of trans people.
The government's own Equality Impact Assessment warns that "women who are considered masculine may face greater scrutiny" and that disabled people could face adverse impacts.The Code represents a profound rollback of rights, which will affect trans people directly and erode the principles of inclusion, dignity and equality upon which all our rights depend.
This guidance must not become statutory; the government should withdraw it and instead legislate to clarify and protect trans people's rights, privacy and inclusion.

My MP didn’t respond to me directly but did raise the issue in Parliament today. Write to your MPs.
I cannot be the only Member to have had dozens of emails from constituents who are dismayed that, under this guidance, the vague, ill-defined and highly subjective term
"discomfort of service users" becomes the litmus test for excluding people from essential services. I heard what the Minister said about associations, but can we be clear whether public spaces will still be able to provide trans-inclusive services? If that is not the case, I feel that this guidance is simply unreasonable, unfair and unworkable.

Was a real honour as a baby trans to be asked to represent us in an Arsenal video. Was told it was just going to be played at one game in 2022. It was received so well that Arsenal continued to play it at every game for the next two seasons. Would recommend taking a look if you haven’t seen it 👇

Amongst many other things, what saddens me about the guidance is that it punishes openness. I’m “cis-passing” & am lucky enough to have been so for years, so people don’t know unless I tell them, & I like seeing the smile appear on trans people’s faces when I do share. I don’t want to be stealth.

Break from election stuff for a moment: LGBTQ+ rights is, alongside democratic systems, one of the areas I think it's important to use my platform as BBS to push on. The way the UK is treating trans people is absolutely despicable, and if you are an ally with a Labour MP, you should write to them.

Wrote a letter to my MP, it’s probably not the most coherent thing in the world but I couldn’t not say anything.
Dear
For the five years I have lived in
, I've been proud to have you as my representative. Your
intervention when my gender identity clinic did not send my surgery referral for over a year was crucial in getting them to acknowledge and, vitally, rectify their error. I will remain forever grateful to you for this.
But I'm afraid will not vote for you again, not whilst the red rosette you proudly wear remains a symbol of my exclusion.
Your government's proposed guidance is innately dehumanising. It prioritises the comfort of others over my ability to use the toilet, to access services, and to play the sport love with my friends. Ultimately, it seeks to confine me to my home - away from those who view me with disgust. A dangerous precedent has been set that it is more important for others to be protected from acknowledging the existence of those they deem unworthy than for marginalised people to exist publicly at all.
No matter how hard your party tries to spin this, there can be no dignity and respect for trans people with this guidance in place. As a trans man, I am told am not permitted to change with my football team who have called family for the last five seasons - that I must use separate female facilities alone. But if a woman walked through the door whilst I was lacing up my boots, I could be removed from these facilities too if she objected to my presence. Where is the dignity and respect in changing in a corridor? I suppose the preference is that don't play at all and stay at home so others do not have to perceive me.
I expect this behaviour from the Conservatives and Reform. Had this guidance been proposed by the previous Minister for Women and Equalities, I would have been devastated but not batted an eye. To watch a party I campaigned for, a party I was proud to represent for several years as a candidate, the self-identified "party of equality" usher in the biggest rollback of LGBTQ+ rights since Thatcher's Section 28 is shameful. I will not choose betwe…
