It was always going to be a while before the effects that trans prople felt immediately became a matter of public record. The effect of the closure of the Welsh Gender Services will soon be seen. To be trans is not mental illness. Harming others IS mental illness. goodlawproject.org/jo-maugham-b...

Billionaires like JK Rowling have funded a blizzard of legal attacks on the trans community – and her allies in the rightwing and far-right press have pursued a campaign of trans hate, says Jo Maugham

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

Further police brutality at the site of Compton's Cafeteria. 60 years later and transgender people are still holding the front line for human rights and are receiving the first blows. Trans people will always be here, it is where we stand, it is where we belong. www.instagram.com/reel/Dag2fuC...

¼% of the population are trans women but get 100% of the headlines. No wonder politicians are keen to add to the debate since there's only 1 thing worse than being talked about and that's not being talked about. www.aol.com/articles/lab...

translucent.org.uk? Translucent are seeking a judicial review of the EHRCs exclusionary guidance. Not me saying that. The Chief Commissioner has indicated the guidance is flawed and will lead to discrimination against cisgender women. Yes, cisgender, you are reading that right.

Organisations yesterday extolling the new legislation and celebrating their part in its drafting have been turning off comments on social media posts as it emerges it contains more loopholes than a pomegranate has pips. TransActual have issued a detailed analysis. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/06...

The UK Government has released its legislation that aims to ban forced conversion practices on trans and other LGB people. It reads however as a guide for managing conversion practices whilst avoiding legal challenge, setting the bar for challenge impossibly high. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Trans Pride Exeter @transprideexeter.bsky.social · 24/05/2026
The new EHRC guidance breaks the Equality Act - Trans/non-binary and gender non-comforming people can be excluded from facilities and pushed out of daily life. It will be law in 40 days - without any manifesto commitments, or even a single vote unless our MPs demand one NOW. Join us in protest
Poster detailing upcoming protest against the new EHCR guidance. It reads:
"Protest Labour's Bathroom Ban. Say no to segregation of trans people. Sunday 31st of May 2026 1 PM to 3 PM. Bedford Square, Princesshay EX1 1GJ. Hosted by Trans Pride Exeter www.TPEX.uk."

The body of the poster is a drawing of protest placards in pastel colours with various phrases including "30 year waiting waiting lists", "spat on", "outed" "banned from toilets", "denied healthcare", "denied homes", "denied equal access", "denied employment", and "Segregated". Other placards show a circle with a cross through

The new EHRC guidance on the interpretation of the UK 2010 Equality Act makes a nod to the rights of trans people but it lays open the way for organisations to exclude trans people for simplicity. It is easier to exclude than risk having to deal with a single complaint. www.gov.uk/government/p...

‘Trans-age’ Lorna Young used an anonymous (says it all) X account to post "For the love of God will these deluded people just grow up and get some proper therapy" in regard to a trans co-worker. Going forwards, who will be the ‘Mutton Dressed as Lamb’ policy setter and will it be equally applied?

There may be far reaching implications in an on-line world that is hyper-connected. As stated in the ruling it is the place of the courts to be guided by laws, not to interpret the validity of laws. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The UK continues to slide in 2026. True it is not sliding as fast as it was, but when at the top in 2015 there was a long way to fall and as the UK has got ever closer to the bottom it becomes harder to fall quite so far and quite so fast. rainbowmap.ilga-europe.org
