BBC describing one of the UK's largest ever protests as being only attended by "Thousands". And argues that protesting the EHRC is nonsense claiming that "it was intended to allow people to live free from discrimination and harassment". More coverage than the last few but that doesn't mean better.

It's much akin with the gleeful references people make about the scale of prison rape against trans women when they're incarcerated. It's not satisfaction at justice or a threat averted. It's joy. Mirth. Inhumans used as toys for their entertainment.

1/🧵 The EHRC draft Code misstates the law and incites “bathroom bounty law” actions against service-providers. It recommends but does not demand segregation of trans people.
13.130

If a service provider (or a person providing a service in the exercise of public functions) admits trans people to a service intended for the opposite sex, then it can no longer rely on the exceptions set out at paragraphs 13.99 to 13.111.
This means that if a service is provided only to women and trans women or only to men and trans men, it is not a separate-sex or single-sex service under the Equality Act 2010.

13.131

A service like this is very likely to amount to unlawful sex discrimination against the people of the opposite sex who are not allowed to use it. A service which is provided to women and trans women could also be unlawful sex discrimination or lead to unlawful harassment against women who use the service. Similar considerations would apply to a service provided for men and trans men. It is possible to offer a mixed-sex service alongside a single-sex service. A mixed-sex service must be open to all service users.Equality and Human Rights

It's much more than a toilet ban. Here's the summary. Please share far and wide, this needs to be stopped #LabourBathroomBan #TransSegregation
- Public toilets: biological-sex facility, or universal/accessible if provided
- Changing rooms in gyms, pools, leisure centres: biological sex
- Single-sex hospital wards: placement by biological sex
- Domestic abuse and rape crisis group services: trans women excluded from women-only provision; trans men excludable from female-survivor services
- Refuges and shelters: placement on biological sex
- Maternity, obstetrics and gynaecology: trans women excluded, trans men served without adaptation
- Breast and cervical screening, women's health clinics: biological sex basis, no required adaptation
- Single-sex sports clubs and teams, recreational and competitive: biological sex
- Competitive sport events: trans women out of women's competition, trans men excludable from men's on safety grounds
- Single-sex fitness classes and women-only sessions: biological sex
- Single-sex saunas, spas, bathhouses: biological sex
- Communal accommodation (dormitories, shared sleeping): exclusion permitted, subject to proportionality
- Single-sex associations and members' clubs: membership on biological sex
- Religious single-sex services: biological sex
- Schools, pupils aged 8 and over: separate-sex toilets and changing on biological sex
- Workplaces (toilets, changing, single-sex facilities): same logic via Employment Code
- Prisons and immigration detention: placement on biological sex (already in force)
- Single-sex shortlists and positive action: "sex" means biological sex
- Door-of-service sex enquiries: providers may ask, trans people may be required to leave

So the EHRC just decided to effectively repeal the Gender Recognition Act on a Thursday afternoon, then go on holiday. WTF?
2.49 The Supreme Court in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers (For
Women Scotland) [2025] UKSC 16 has ruled that a GRC does not change a
person’s legal sex for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010. The judgment
held that ‘sex’, ‘woman’ and ‘man’ mean, respectively, biological sex, biological
woman and biological man for the purposes of the Equality Act. The judgment
uses the expression ‘biological sex’ to describe the sex of a person at birth.
The phrase ‘biological sex’ has the same meaning when used throughout this
Code. This is also referred to as ‘sex at birth’ in this Code.  
2.50 This means that, in relation to the Act, a person’s sex remains their biological
sex, whether they have a GRC or not. For example, a trans man with a GRC is a
woman and a trans woman with a GRC is a man, for the purposes of the Act.
2.51 This Code only relates to the application of the Equality Act 2010. It does
not deal with the implications of the For Women Scotland judgment for the
application of section 9 of the Gender Recognition Act 2004 to any other
legislation.
2.52 A trans person will be protected from discrimination because of gender
reassignment, whether they have a GRC or not.

Thanks for taking the time to contact us again.

 

Our social media guidelines are publicly available for anyone to view. You can find these through any search engine, and they are applied equally and fairly to any situation no matter the individuals involved.

 

As stated however, Martina is not a BBC member of staff, nor was she working for us at the time of the post. The BBC's social media guidelines apply only to those working for us.

 

We have shared your ongoing concerns about any further work with Martina, with management at BBC Sport.

This concludes Stage 1 of our complaints process. That means we can’t correspond with you further here. If you remain unhappy, you can now contact the BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.
Screenshot of Kickstarter's new rules against mature content, in which everything pornographic is banned. It's a long document that's formatted in a way that I can't copy and paste all the text that's in it, but the first is that all point and anything sexual is now banned.This part of the document outlines how even self censoring your own work will not work, because even the implication of sex is too much. Even in prose works.This document is confusing because it says that erotic comics ARE allowed... you just can't show sex acts or genitals or try to arouse people. Also you can make sex toys, just so long as they're not for sexual gratification. This is how Kickstarter's email began: 

"Hello,
Kickstarter has always been a home for bold, boundary-pushing creative work, including mature content projects like romance novels, nude art books, and provocative comics. Creators working in this space are a valued part of our community, and that hasn’t changed." And yet it definitely has changed.

We have raised a formal complaint with the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards regarding discriminatory remarks by Suella Braverman MP, about Steph Richards stepping down from Endometriosis South Coast.
Text: "To standardscommissioner@parliament.uk <standardscommissioner@parliament.uk>
Dear Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards,
We are writing to make a formal complaint about remarks made by Suella Braverman MP concerning
Steph Richards, a trans woman and Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) holder, in relation to her
role with Endometriosis South Coast.
In public statements and on social media, Ms Braverman repeatedly referred to Ms Richards as “a
man”, described her appointment as “regressive”, and claimed it “erases women” and is “insulting
and inappropriate” for her to speak on endometriosis. These comments were not incidental; they
involved the deliberate and repeated mischaracterisation of Ms Richards’ legal sex and identity in a
manner that was hostile and demeaning.... Under the Gender Recognition Act 2004, a person who holds a full GRC is, 'for all purposes',
recognised in their acquired gender. In Ms Richards’ case, she is legally recognised as a woman, and
her sex is female in law. The repeated public description of her as “a man” is therefore not simply a
matter of opinion or debate, but a denial of her legal status....
In addition, Ms Richards is protected under the Equality Act 2010 by the characteristic of gender
reassignment. The Act protects from discrimination and harassment, including conduct that has the
purpose or effect of violating a person’s dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading,
humiliating or offensive environment. Public statements by a senior MP that single out a named trans
woman, deny her legal status, and frame her participation as inherently inappropriate are reasonably
understood to meet that threshold."Text: "...The House of Commons Code of Conduct states that “Members have a duty to uphold the law,
including the general law against discrimination”, it also requires Members to treat others with
“dignity, courtesy and respect”, and that they “shall never undertake any action which would cause
significant damage to the reputation and integrity of the House of Commons as a whole, or of its
Members generally”.
Publicly singling out a legally recognised woman and subjecting her to this form of treatment falls
well below those standards, particularly given the wider impact such comments have in legitimising
hostility towards trans people.
The inconsistency of Ms Braverman’s position further underlines the discriminatory nature of the
remarks. Men hold roles within organisations such as Breast Cancer UK, and Endometriosis UK itself
includes male staff, without comparable objection. Similarly, a woman serves as Chief Executive of
Prostate Cancer UK without controversy, despite not sharing the relevant anatomy. If Ms Braverman
holds the belief that Ms Richards is a “man”, then the fact that she has singled her out while
overlooking other cisgender men in comparable roles demonstrates that this criticism is not applied
consistently, but is instead directed specifically at a trans woman, solely because she is transgender.
Taken together, these remarks appear to constitute a misuse of Ms Braverman’s public platform to
promote discriminatory and demeaning treatment of a protected group and to undermine the
dignity of a named individual.
We therefore ask that you investigate whether Ms Braverman’s conduct breaches the House of
Commons Code of Conduct, including its requirements to uphold the law, treat individuals with
respect, and maintain the reputation of the House.
Please confirm receipt of this complaint and advise if any further information is required.
Yours faithfully,
Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective"
