UK drops six more places on the ILGA-Europe #RainbowMap to now lie at 22nd, an outlier in Western Europe. The only country to fall further is Orbán's Hungary. Ten years ago the UK was first on this list. Only six years ago it was third. "A co-ordinated global backlash aimed at erasing LGBTI rights."

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

Worth reading this @patrickstrudwick.bsky.social article on Stonewall
To highlight one recent example of Stonewall’s seemingly waning influence, I asked the Government several times recently whether it has consulted with Stonewall over a proposed ban on conversion therapy since taking office. A spokesperson from the Cabinet Office declined to confirm whether it has even had any meetings with the charity about it, instead offering vaguely: “We will engage further with a broad range of stakeholders.” I asked Stonewall three times, but they did not provide a response.

I keep a couple of charts handy in case anyone had questions about cis people. I’m just a regular (not cis) woman, but I consider myself a proud ally!
Frequently Asked Questions About Cisgender People
Cisgender people are just like you and me, except they believe their "assigned sex at birth" matches up with their "gender identity.
How do they know they are cis?
Many cis people feel they "know" their gender internally.
They feel they were "born in the right body," even if others don't understand.
Who is going to date them?
Though cisgender people can have a hard time meeting partners, they are still able to have healthy relationships.
Often, cis people will date other cis people.
How do they have sex?
Cisgender people can be very inventive with their bodies.
But they don't look cis!
Cisgender people are everywhere.
They might not look the way that you expect!Cisgender 101 - Understanding Cisgenderism
What is a "Cisgender" Person?
A cisgender person is someone who believes their gender identity matches the one they were assigned at birth. They were born like this and did not choose it!

Cisgender man:
Identifies as male
Usually has a penis
Prefers pronoun "he"

Cisgender woman:
Identifies as female
Usually has a vagina
Prefers pronoun "she"

Although you may not realise it, cisgender people are all around us! It is often very hard to tell if someone is cisgender at first glance. Many cisgender people invest much time and energy to ensure they "pass" or appear as their assigned gender.
Some scientists believe that cisgenderism is a result of a fault in the brain of cisgender people, which prevents them from identifying as anything other than the gender they were assigned at birth.
No one is sure what causes cisgenderism:- genetics, hormones, or reinforcement of gender stereotypes as a child, but there is no known cure,

Cisgender people often suffer from "body
dysmorphia* - a feeling of distress or extreme dislike for their bodies, and they often take medicine or undergo surgery so that their bodies more closely match their gender identities
Did you know...?
Cisgender people aren't always straight - many cisgender people identify as gay, lesbian, or even bisexual!
