We were delighted to see a return of Daniel Zeichner's Toilet of Contemplation, now with a massive poster over his front door! We saw this activity was posted to This Is Not A Drill yesterday and at time of writing the Toilet of Contemplation is still in situ! thisisnotadrill.info/anti-segrega...
An entire toilet bowl is placed on the porch of Alex Wood Hall, the office of Cambridge MP Daniel Zeichner. The lid of the toilet is up, and on the underside is a little trans pride flag, and the words 'NO TRANS SEGREGATION'. Behind the toilet a huge poster has been pasted across the doors, containing excerpts of the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention's damning statement about the latest EHRC guidance. Next to the porch, a very large trans pride flag is draped against the wall.

Important info ahead of the protest! See you all on Saturday!
Three slides with a photographic background showing people demonstrating in Cambridge. The TLC logo is superimposed. Text text is in magenta, black, and white.
The text for the first slide reads: ‘PROTEST against the EHRC’s anti-trans guidance. UPDATE. Saturday 30 May 6pm, assemble at Great St Mary’s, King’s Parade. Swipe for route, info, and accessibility.’The second slide reads: ‘March route. We will start outside Great St Mary’s on King’s Parade, setting off at 18.15. We will march east down St Mary’s Passage, along Market Square and Petty Cury, north-west along Sidney Street, up to the Round Church. We will then march south along Trinity Street, to reassemble at Great St Mary’s. Accessibility. We will be marching in the street. Some of the street surfaces are cobbled or otherwise uneven. We will move slowly, taking care not to leave anyone behind. Please see our previous post for further accessibility information.’ There is a map on the slide depicting the route as described.The third slide reads: ‘Important info. Bring friends, water and snacks, and wear a mask for health and privacy. Try to arrive and leave in a group. You may also want to bring earplugs, as we aim to be LOUD. So bring anything you can make noise with! Drums, tambourines, whistles, trumpets, kazoos… Based on previous rallies, we expect minimal police presence, if any. This is a peaceful march. We will have a police liaison to speak to the police if necessary. We ask that you do not speak to the police, except to direct them to our police liaison, who has all the necessary information.’

Are you perhaps a cis person who thinks 'well, that's a lovely idea'? Perhaps you could chip in some quids to help keep events like this sustainable! Booking a whole pool so that trans folks can swim in peace costs a modest £3 per person, and we would love to be able to make it a regular booking!

Footnote: the booking shakes out to being worth 3 quid per person. Please donate to cover this if you're able as we're looking to make this a sustainable regular event. opencollective.com/tlc/contribute
