Jonathan Hinder doing his absolute best to make Labour an anti-LGBTQ+ Party. The fact that Labour is okay with this nonsense demonstrates how little we can trust them to defend trans people's dignity. Something they claimed they would do in their manifesto. www.thepinknews.com/2025/07/07/p...

Labour MP slams Parkrun for trans inclusion. It's a non-competitive fun run

A Labour MP has called for trans women to be banned from Parkrun following the Supreme Court's controversial gender ruling.

It was amazing to be a part of this, even if my MP didn't take the time to attend, nor even send a staffer to chat to me.

Our statement on the trans bathroom ban in Parliament.

Parliamentary Trans Toilet Ban

We, like you, are appalled by today's announcement regarding toilet usage on the Parliamentary estate. Publicising this change just before a mass lobby designed to support trans+ people exercising their democratic rights is outrageous.

This demonstrates just how right we are to be worried about a UK trans bathroom ban. This is why we believe our mass lobby -opposing guidance which would mandate this approach across all areas of public life - is so important.

As the space is controlled by Parliament, and we are simply facilitating trans+ people and their allies in exercising their democratic rights, the decision surrounding toilet access does not lie with us. Nor is it up to us which toilets you use. There will be gender neutral toilets available. We have made clear to Parliamentary staff that we believe their approach is wrong both in law and in principle, and that we will play no part in enforcing it. No matter what, our volunteers will be there to support people on the day.

Do not let them scare you away. Turn up, and make your voice heard. Let MPs see exactly what impact a trans bathroom ban will have in reality.

Yours in solidarity, always

Trans+ Solidarity Alliance

@downloadfest.bsky.social I have heard a rumour that you plan to adhere to the EHRC's interim guidance that they posted after the recent Supreme Court decision. Is this true?

Today I've written to Bridget Phillipson to ask for clarity on how the government will ensure trans people's rights in the wake of the recent Supreme Court ruling and EHRC guidance. At a moment of extreme worry and distress for the trans community, govt must step up and give assurances.

As the host of this podcast, I would love to find younger researchers doing new things in the area to interview. It is just as important to hear from new researchers as it is from well-established ones! #academia #psychology #psychologyofreligion

With the UK Parliament reportedly considering a longer-term ban on puberty blockers, here is the evidence against the ban I provided to the UK Government and Commission on Human Medicines. I have no doubt that Parliament will ignore that evidence today. But this is a long fight we intend to win.

I am shaking. I am relieved. I am devastated. I am furious. I am bereft. The puberty blocker ban is a death sentence for some particularly vulnerable trans youth. It is unconscionable. When will the people with the power to help sit up and listen? It’s a scandal. A cover up. A crime. I’m so sad.

I've had a song that I wrote in 2014. I wrote it with the intent of having a masc/femme duet vocals on it, but never ended up finding vocalists for it, so released it in 2020 as an instrumental. Now that I'm on this place, I wonder if I can find vocalists. open.spotify.com/album/3wTVYU... #musicians

One of the things I think people don't understand is that you only need 2% of people to be actively committed anti trans people to wildly outnumber, outpace and out power 1% who are trans if the other 97% are ambivalent. Ambivalence about human rights is a problem.

Wes Streeting appears to have asked the anti-trans nurses to draw up NHS guidance on trans people. Bethany Hutchison, one of the nurses, said that she hoped their “commonsense” proposals would set a “precedent for all public services and workplaces in the UK”. ALL workplaces. ALL.

Ridiculous BBC headline: "Public sector pay deals help drive up UK borrowing". Nothing to do with corporate welfare, contracts for cronies, Govt paying higher energy bills, HMRC not collecting £500bn since 2010, Tory legacy. Just blame workers wanting decent pay. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Public sector pay deals help drive up UK borrowing

Borrowing was £17.4bn last month, the second highest October figure since monthly records began in 1993.
