We've said it before and we'll say it again: the EHRC's interim guidance is transphobic and harmful, and it must be stopped. We will fight it in the courts in November. Will you join us? goodlawproject.org/donate/

This is legitimately insane. It's not an exaggeration to say this is actually a full on bathroom ban for trans people because they're banned from using spaces of their sex assigned at birth too!

Screenshot of text discussing draft guidance on excluding trans people from certain services. It states that, in some cases, a trans person could be excluded even if their biological sex matches the service. The text explains that exclusion might be justified to prevent alarm or distress to others, giving the example that a trans man could be excluded from a women-only service if he presents as a man and others might reasonably object, making exclusion a proportionate means to a legitimate aim.

Personally I’m really glad that the police and government are finally acting on these shocking lyrics sung by Bob Dylan on stage at Glasto 1998

Lyrics from Bob Dylan’s ‘Masters of War’ which say “And I hope that you die And your death will come soon
I'l follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead”

A cis women's rugby team played a trans women's rugby team and won 34-7. Naturally, Oliver Brown, who likes that his job gives him free reign to attack women, is not pleased, perhaps because he's spent years telling us how shit cis women are at everything

Red Roses players support game against trans team
The Daily Telegraph3 Jun 2025

Protesting ban: Alycia Washington and match organiser Sasha Acheson
Red Roses players have voiced their support for a rugby match in which a team of transgender women played a side of biological females.

The “Ruck You” match took place in Oslo to challenge the perception that transgender women have physical advantages over biological women.

The game began with seven trans women playing against seven former female internationals, before players from the two teams mixed to protest against the sport’s ban on transgender women.

The match finished 34-7 to the biological women’s team, with a post on the event’s social media feed claiming the team of trans women scored their try only after “one pivotal change ... when trans women and cis women mixed teams and came together”.

The event, which was organised by former England prop Sasha Acheson, was also supported by past and present players from Wales and Scotland. Current Red Roses players Meg Jones and Poppy Cleall were among several biological females who sent messages of support that were shared on the

event’s social media feed ahead of the match on Sunday.

Jones, one of England’s standout players in recent seasons, said: “I’m supporting the Ruck You match because this game is built on women of all shapes and sizes, different backgrounds, different stories and I know sport has the power to make this change. On June 1, hopefully we get to see the change we want to see in this world.” #TransAgendaClips

Enough of this racist fiction. Enough. Not a single non-white person in England is in a job in the NHS *because* they are non-white. Not a single one. And as for the idea that England's criminal justice system goes easy on non-white people because they are non-white. Well. Just think about that.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.
