Very happy to see this The Polyphony! Thanks I bring together Ralcua Soreanu’s work on Sándor Ferenczi’s theory of sexuality with Florêncio’s recent writing (with Liz Rosenfeld) about experiences of cruising, and Just’s use of horror writing to explore her experiences of endometriosis.

With 38 hrs to go to the EHRC consultation deadline I'm seeing posts from people feeling bad they're too stressed to engage. The GLP⬇️has removed all but the last step, a general comment box. This is a far easier task. I hope it helps those who want to, to get their voice heard without too much pain.

Unexpected full page in today's Observer on yesterday's protests and it doesn't interview a single GC for 'balance'
United, undeterred and unafraid, trans people rally over court ruling
Thousands gather in London’s Parliament Square to protest at judges’ decision
The Observer20 Apr 2025James Tapper

LEFT Crowds gather outside Parliament in a huge show of unity and solidarity.
After last week’s supreme court decision, activists had been worried trans people might become fearful of going out in public in case they were abused.

They weren’t afraid in London yesterday. Thousands of trans and nonbinary people thronged Parliament Square, alongside families and supporters waving baby blue, white and pink flags to demonstrate their anger at the judges’ ruling.

The numbers seemed to take the organisers and police by surprise. Protesters from a hastily assembled coalition of 24 groups gathered in a ring against the barriers surrounding the grass and began speeches. But after the roads became clogged with people, a woman wearing a “Nobody knows I’m a lesbian” top ran across with her dog and soon the square was full. “It’s one hell of a turnout and there is a really strong sense of unity and solidarity,” said Jamie Strudwick, one of the organisers. “I think it’s impossible to compare it – it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before.”

None of my trans mates feel safe enough to celebrate #TransDayOfVisibility this year. That says everything. Sending love and fierce solidarity—especially to the disabled trans community in the UK. You deserve safety, joy, and care.

1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Finally. A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States. I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it. It is NOT just for athletes. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

State Department visa policy could bar trans people from traveling to U.S.
Violations could result in travel bans beyond just athletes

I’m not on the asexuality spectrum. But as a queer, feminist researcher, I think we should all care about asexuality. Why? Because asexual perspectives can help us better understand sexuality—and gender, race, disability, family, love, etc. Here’s why:
