Mass Lobby for Trans Equality - 9th September 2026
The law around trans equality is fundamentally broken. Government inaction is hanging trans people and organisations out to dry - with a confusing mess of challenging rules and lawfare.

I think Bluesky may not be for me. It's clear that the platform lacks the diversity that I value. For example I've struggled to find any significantly active QTPOC posters here which I think makes conversations worse. In addition bluesky lacks the fun factor in its content.

Trump talking about meeting Theodore Roosevelt in his speech (after he was taken to a museum to speak with an AI gen version of him)... Embarrassing but also reminds me of people I come across that treat AI as if it is magic and even those that use it thoughtlessly + uncritically.

I had a reminder at work that by staying in our own bubbles we maybe are not reaching all of our allies. I mentioned the work of @guidersfortrans.bsky.social to a colleague in a random desk yap. She was totally unaware of the situation and was visibly upset and angry that this was happening today.

It's heartbreaking to hear that Damsel Collective in Hoxton a beautiful lesbian cafe/bar has closed its doors. A reminder that if we want spaces like this to exist we have to support them.

Those currently coming for trans rights will not stop with us. If they succeed they'll move onto equal marriage, LGBTQ+ parenting, abortion access and anti-discrimination. We must unite for trans rights to protect trans rights AND to protect so much more.

Reminder: trans kids need our help. 📚 The government’s proposed changes to ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ would fail trans pupils. 🏫 The draft safeguarding guidance would turn teachers into gender cops. ⏰ Act now, there’s not long left. www.theproudtrust.org/about-us/blo...
Trans pupils are being failed.

The Government’s draft ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ guidance is a threat to the safety and wellbeing of trans+ kids at school and college.Is this dignity?

Trans+ students will be banned from toilets and changing rooms that reflect their gender.

Schools and colleges will be allowed to refuse a child or young person’s request to socially transition.Is this respect?

Trans and non-binary students will be encouraged to not come out.

The proposals label all trans and non-binary children as ‘gender questioning’.

"Any new version of the EHRC's code that does not provide clarity for service providers on how to include trans people will not fix this mess,” says @transsolidarity.bsky.social director Alex Parmar-Yee @fruitypy.bsky.social Read our analysis 👉 www.wearequeeraf.com/understand-t...
Text that reads: The EHRC is reportedly softening its line on Trans+ segregation, after a change in leadership.
Equality watchdog the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is reportedly "adapting" its draft code of practice to "lessen its impact" on business and "balance single-sex spaces with lives of Trans+ people", ahead of a critical judgment on its advice to segregate Trans+ people from single sex spaces - The Guardian

It follows a number of developments in recent months, including:

Three employment tribunals reaching different conclusions about the Supreme Court ruling's meaning - the cases of Sandie Peggie, Leonardo vs Maria Kelley, and Darlington Nurses.
Growing pressure from businesses over the code's lack of feasibility.
The exit of the EHRC's previous chair, with Mary Ann-Stephenson being appointed as replacement.
