"The new EHRC is discriminatory & excludes trans, non-binary & gender diverse people from swathes of public life, including their working lives. The law must be changed. The EHRC guidance is unworkable, is absurd & it is cruel" Maria from the @cwunews.bsky.social at #TUC26

Full post from Sherborne Pride Facebook page
PLEASE SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE
It’s easy to show up for Pride when there are flags flying, music playing, performances to share and glitter on our faces.
BUT, we are heartbroken today and this is when showing up really matters.
Last night, a member of our Pride community was surrounded by a group and violently attacked close to her home in the Cale Park area of Wincanton. She has been left with a split lip, a black eye and bruised ribs. Her family have told us this is being treated as a hate crime.
We won’t name her. But we want you to know something about her. She came to her first Sherborne Pride alone, without telling her mum.
One of our team spoke to her that day. Afterwards, when we were all emotional and swapping the moments and people we’d remember, she was one of them. The brilliant human in the knight’s helmet with the rainbow Christmas tree, right at the front of our parade, beside us. Someone we remembered for being brave enough to come alone. 
This year’s Pride her mum knew about Sherborne Pride and proudly came along with her, I personally met her on the day and shared a beautiful conversation. 
Last night, her mum reached out to us for help.
That has broken our hearts. Because this is why Pride exists.
Not just for the sequins and the party. For the night somebody is attacked. For the morning after. For the frightened parent who doesn’t know how to make people listen. For making damn sure that hate is not allowed to happen quietly.
So today we need our community — and everyone who has ever stood beside it — to be loud.
Share what happened. Share this post. Help it travel beyond our own little corner of the internet. Help make sure it is seen, recorded and heard by the people with the responsibility and power to act. The police MUST act. 
If you witnessed the attack or have information that could help identify those responsible, please contact the police. Please do not speculate publicly, name individuals or take matters into your own hands.
To the very…Photograph of pride parade

Gardeners of BlueSky, advice please How can I discourage foxes from my garden. Have a Vixen and grown cub that use it as their playground overnight. Fed up of finding my plants crushed and broken. Don’t wish them harm, just want them to play elsewhere

#PrEP prevents HIV acquisition. 110,000 people are currently on it in England but some communities (black women, people in rural communities) are underserved. To end the epidemic, all must have access. Getting PrEP into pharmacies would make it easier for many. This is the urgent goal for 2026.

Terrence Higgins Trust CEO: 'Why 2026 must be the year we unlock PrEP through community pharmacies' (EXCLUSIVE)
"We have the tools, the evidence and the opportunity. Now we need the courage to act," Richard Angell OBE writes for Attitude.

Girl Guides of Canada has made a statement, likely in response to the cowardly decisions of Girlguiding UK. 🏳️‍⚧️

"I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.” What does this do for women's rights?
