As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

There are political, economic, environmental and social justice benefits to appointing a Chancellor who knows how to do net zero and has the political skills to make the Treasury work for this purpose. Maybe I’m just posting into the void here, but every voice helps. Alarming shift in Overton window

Simple thing. If you spend *ANY MONEY** or attention on anything JK Rowling related you are quite literally funding the machinations of someone who is in my considered opinion evil. She’s directly funding hate groups. It’s not hard. & there are much better books about teenage magicians out there

Alongside colleagues, I have tabled a motion to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations. We cannot support it, and we have a responsibility to our trans constituents to resist it. Please email your MP asking them to sign EDM 240.

Motion to reject the EHRC's
Code of Practice
Alongside colleagues, I have tabled a motion to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for services, public functions and associations. We cannot support it, and we have a responsibility to our trans constituents to resist it.
This motion is currently the only available mechanism through which Parliament can reject the EHRC's Code of Practice; if it is debated and passed within the 40-day scrutiny window, it would prevent the Code from being issued by the EHRC and coming into force.
Please email your MP asking them to sign
EDM 240.

The Code will exclude trans people from services and facilities that they have long used without issue, putting them at increased risk of harassment and violence, and effectively pushing them out of public life.
It ushers in an era of enforced segregation for trans people, the policing of which will be outsourced to service providers, including businesses, charities and public bodies.

In the statement to the House of Commons yesterday, the Minister even suggested that where members of the public are unsure of someone's gender within a single-sex facility,
"most people will have the common sense to step in where necessary or, if they are concerned, to alert a member of staff."
Meanwhile, this guidance does not give clarity and confidence to organisations that want to be trans-inclusive. Its impact also extends beyond the rights of trans people.
The government's own Equality Impact Assessment warns that "women who are considered masculine may face greater scrutiny" and that disabled people could face adverse impacts.

The Code represents a profound rollback of rights, which will affect trans people directly and erode the principles of inclusion, dignity and equality upon which all our rights depend.
This guidance must not become statutory; the government should withdraw it and instead legislate to clarify and protect trans people's rights, privacy and inclusion.
