Its been lovely doing activism under TransActivismUK. Obviously, I will continue my activism in more localised and specialist areas as I have done since quietly just monitoring TAUK regularly! We will eventually get there. I have hope. They can't take that away from me or anyone else!

If you're in the UK, I strongly recommend following @transsafety.network and @transactualuk.bsky.social who are doing some of the most important work of our time. 4/4

Most notably, intersectional marginalised trans people, trans women and fems of colour and sex workers especially. If you consider yourself an ally but you don't follow any trans-led organisations, that's a behaviour you can correct right now today. 3/4

And honestly, it's for the best, for my own mental health. I did it so no one else on the team would have to look through all of those brutal statistics. There are other people doing that work, and so much more, to raise awareness of the hardships trans people face. 2/4

It has been a tradition for the last few years for me to post up the names of every trans person lost to violence over the last 12 months on the @transactivismuk.bsky.social socials, to mark Trans Day of Remembrance. I have stepped back enough that I won't be doing that this year. 1/4

I hope that every vile person who claimed to have empathy for Brianna and her family, but vehemently denied that transphobia was a motive, hears the sentencing today and feels sick with remorse. I hope you're capable of listening and doing some serious self reflection.

Trans Activism UK’s Statement on the Department of Education’s draft guidance on “Gender questioning children.”

We would like to advise that Kemi Badenoch and Gillian Keegan undergo some basic Equality, Diversity & Inclusion training, as apparently they must have missed that mandatory e-learning when appointed in their respective positions.

In the meantime, it is crucial to emphasise that this guidance is not just unlawful, it is also non-statutory. Thankfully for the many schools that care about legitimate safeguarding for their pupils, this means that they are not under any obligation to follow this draft guidance.

Should any school feel compelled to follow this guidance, they will face an immediate risk of isolating marginalised pupils and creating an environment that encourages the bullying of vulnerable children.

Galop released a statement yesterday that confirmed, using data from YouGov, that a great portion of abuse experienced by trans and non-binary people under the age of 18 comes from within their own families, and that the most common perpetrators of this abuse are parents.

This draft guidance intends to override already existing safeguarding procedures within schools and skip straight to exposing minors to potentially unsafe home environments, all whilst encouraging staff to disregard pupil’s wishes and give the potential to create a situation where youths feel in danger both at home and at school, ultimately removing any safe space for them to exist in.

It is important to note that this guidance is under consultation until 12th March 2024. We would strongly urge everyone to provide feedback via their consultation website, but especially teachers, school staff and anyone that works in a capacity that involves the safeguarding of minors, to ensure that the government is told just how reckless and inflammatory this document is.

We would strongly advise that you practice extreme caution in regards to coverage of Brianna Ghey's trial, which is due to be ongoing for likely 4 weeks. It is clear from reports of day one alone that this trial details incredibly disturbing information.

We would like to kindly request that you do not send dick pics to any of our social media accounts, unless you're willing to donate a rating fee to a trans charity. Also, if you're going to DM us pretending to be trans, perhaps delete the TERF posts on your feeds first.

Rita is raising money to give her son Corei the send off he deserves. Please share and support if you can. We also urge folks to read the entire fundraiser, as it gives wonderful insight into who Corei was as a person. www.gofundme.com/f/corei-hall

A photo of Corei Hall, a 14-year-old white trans boy who was tragically lost to suicide.

Rita Williams is organising a fundraiser to pay for his funeral expenses, the text in the screenshot reads:

Corei was our son and brother who tragically took his life, and died on 12th October 2023 aged just 14. We are fundraising for a memorial headstone, grave plot, flowers and other associated funeral expenses to give him the send off he deserves. After Corei has been laid to rest and the memorial paid for, we will give everything remaining to charity: 50% to Great Ormond Street Hospital as they looked after Corei and us so well in his last days, and 50% split equally 3 ways between the trans youth charities Think2Speak and Mermaids, and the youth mental health charity Young Minds, in the hope that young lives can be saved. If we reach our target this should be a substantial sum and will honour Corei’s last wish to protect trans youth in his name.

We'd imagine that more people have likely read this review of his book than have read the actual book. It's shorter and a much better use of one's time.

The problems with Graham Linehan’s memoir Tough Crowd

The ‘Father Ted’ writer who more recently uses his platform to share controversial views on the transgender community has released a memoir describing how his life was ‘smashed to smithereens’. It’s a strange, sad read, writes Louis Chilton – one that crumbles under the slightest scrutiny

Today we found out that we lost another young person from our community too soon. We didn't get a chance to meet you, but we thank your Mother for sharing her love for you. Rest easy, Corei.

Modern transphobia has often centred around sport, including public mixed-gender events such as these. We’re trying to push back against that by encouraging and celebrating trans participation in running.
