Another gender clinic shut down. Another report filed. Another group of trans young people left without care or a replacement. I've read the WellBN findings carefully, and my full take is waiting for you.

Chants of 'Don't protect the women, we can fight. We don't need your fascist shite' rang out in Glasgow tonight. As anti-fascists, women's rights groups and trade unionists protested against 'patriot platform' and their supporters pushing their racist agenda in the city. Things you love to see ✊

I recently spoke on a fringe panel at TUC Congress about what comes next in the fight for trans rights. I was pleased that the congress passed a motion to oppose the EHRC Code of Practice, demonstrating that trade unionists understand that trans rights are a workers’ rights issue too.

Sometimes you need to give people who've done something fucking idiotic an excuse to change their mind. ESPECIALLY if you warned them it was fucking idiotic. And if it was an emotive choice. you have to decide whether you value them walking it back over catharsis. Applies in work, love or Brexit.

It was never clear to me as a kid how ten green bottles could hang on a wall, - whether there was some kind of hook or loop system going on etc - but now I’m wondering whether “hanging” means, you know, like, hanging out, although I’m not sure that sense of the word existed in Olden Days (morning)

“We are rendered hostile abstractions in a contradictory narrative: Trans people are not real, only our violence is real.” This is a compelling reflection by @ginagwenffrewi.bsky.social on how the British press has laundered transphobia in recent years (so much of it is just recycled homophobia).

I’ve emailed Andy Burnham and Bridget Phillipson with a name change suggestion for next year's conference.

"Dear Ms Phillipson and Prime Minister Burnham,

I understand that Labour’s National Annual Women’s Conference took place in Liverpool on 26 September, with reports suggesting that attendance was somewhere around 200 women, compared with roughly 1,000 in previous years.

Given that rather spectacular reduction, I have a modest suggestion for next year.

Perhaps the event could be renamed the Labour Party (Handful of) Women’s Conference.

It would certainly be more accurate, and it might save on printing costs.

Of course, there is a more serious point underneath the joke. When a women’s conference loses the vast majority of its attendees, perhaps it is worth asking why so many women decided they no longer wanted to be there.

If Labour genuinely wants to represent women, it might be worth listening to the women who stayed away.

Yours sincerely,"
