Once again institutions like the police are failing women facing abuse. We need to come together to stop perpetrators getting away with abuse in all its forms - and demand better from the institutions that are supposed to protect us. Help us hold them all to account ⬇️ goodlaw.social/ouzo

Sadiq Khan claims he's a trans ally. But actions speak louder than words – and further lining JK Rowling's pocket helps her fund her transphobic campaigns 🏳️‍⚧️ Take Action now 👇 goodlaw.social/3440b9

NYC Plans to Allocate Nearly $9 Million to Youth Trans Care
The funding comes as advocates, organizers, and medical professionals have warned of the gaps in care created for trans youth across the country as hospital systems have capitulated to the Trump administration.

@translucent.org.uk have recently released their latest report. "Sixty-one of the sixty-two Unitary Authorities responded to our FOI request – Only ONE complaint was found." Trans inclusion is a non-issue. It is a manufactured moral panic, which is an anti-rights tactic.

4/4 Visibility opens the door. Respect keeps it open. Equality walks through it. Safety ensures everyone can stay. To every non-binary person reading this: You do not need to explain your existence to deserve respect. You already do.

Isle of Wight Trans Network @iowtrans.bsky.social · 14/07/2026
3/4 One truth is often overlooked: Not every non-binary person is transgender. Not every transgender person is non-binary. Both are valid. Both deserve respect. Both belong. The Association of Transgender People (ATP) stands with our non-binary brothers and sisters, not only today, but every day.

2/4 This week, we observe Non-Binary Awareness Week, and on July 14, we celebrate International Non-Binary People's Day. The date was chosen to fall exactly between International Women's Day and International Men's Day, a quiet reminder that not everyone fits neatly into either category.

Isle of Wight Trans Network @iowtrans.bsky.social · 14/07/2026
Non-binary is not new. Not a trend. It is not confusion. It is simply another way of being human. Some people live between man and woman. Some identify with both. Some with neither. Every experience is real. Every identity deserves dignity. None requires anyone else's permission to exist. 1/4
