Every cis person needs to read and understand this.These decisions aren’t taken lightly. Our Labour government is effectively making political refugees of trans ppl and their families who flee and seek safety overseas. It’s shameful. They can stick their dignity and respect where the sun don’t shine

Sea dreaming. #SundayPix #SundayPixSolitude #Photography
A black and white photo of a person standing on a sandy beach looking out to sea. The person is side on in the far left of the frame and looking to their left so their face is hidden. They are close to the camera and fill the frame from top to bottom. The horizon is in the middle of the frame above which the sky is clear. The waterline goes from the very left of the frame where it meets the horizon behind the person through to the right side of the frame where it meets that about a quarter of the way up. The sea is relatively calm with a few small waves. There is nobody else on the beach and no boats in the sea.

The “review” of trans healthcare in Wales despite being described as “urgent” has still not begun even though the “pause” was imposed a month ago. So patients in Wales have already been forced to wait 4 weeks for nothing. It is obviously political rather than urgent.

This is yet another horrific consequence of the hostile environment, which normalises fear, exploitation and precarity and denies people the safety net society should provide. This is the Home Office failing to protect some of the most vulnerable people in our society to placate far-right mobs.

FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England.
Comments Moderated
Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender.
BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out ar** cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They dc have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now.
