It’s so triggering (and I don’t use that word lightly) to be repeatedly ignored, dismissed, patronised and lied to by politicians and policy makers because it reflects how Alice and I were treated when she needed help and answers whilst she was alive. Trans people are enduring state sanctioned abuse

Workplace segregation following the April 2025 Supreme Court ruling raises a foreseeable risk of employment attrition among transitioned women, particularly where implementation compromises established arrangements concerning privacy, confidentiality, dignity or ordinary workplace participation.

❓How do we make a world in which transitioned women can live, grow, thrive and love without shame, judgement, violation or punishment - and where tenderness, recognition, reciprocity and protection are allowed to flourish around that life? 💻 LLM/AI and/or human answers on a screenshot, please.

For the record, the EHRC has all three of our major reports published this year, including the exclusion of trans women from support for sexual violence, and that the UK, in the grips of segregating a minority, will likely never recover from it. www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre...

I spoke to a young transitioned woman today. She had been sexually assaulted twice on the train by different men in recent months. She doesn't seek justice because it's unattainable. Because she'll be scrutinised by services that think her breasts are "male", and re-traumatised in the process.

While America executes its own citizens, in the UK it seems we're happy just to remove any access to health and social care for trans people by mandating disclosure prior to access, and collect names and registers... for now.

We’re making an important safety announcement. Following sustained engagement with the NPCC, we’ve had to disengage from negotiation. That means we can’t rely on policy change to protect people right now. We know even imagining this is distressing. We wouldn’t share it unless necessary.

There's no playbook for "how to recalibrate an entire safeguarding system that's been gaslit by fear". That's you, me, services, everyone. What we've learned in advocacy is: you have to precisely describe the holistic experience of the survivor.

On surgical wards, transitioned women placed according to sex category may lack both the equipment and ward-level experience needed for their care. How is safe, dignified continence and catheter care meant to work in a side room under those conditions?

040

Transiness @transiness.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

A stealth-transitioned woman never discloses her natal label & relies entirely on functional accuracy for care. Yet algorithms route her by natal sex, functionally denying access to services aligned with her physiology and social need - a failure that never appears in audits, so cannot be corrected.

Transiness @transiness.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

When a person’s current physiology, strength profile, and social risk exposure no longer align with the sex category recorded in systems, what actually predicts safety outcomes better - the category, or the material reality in front of you?

On mental health wards, safety depends on trust, privacy, and environmental fit. If placement rules ignore a patient’s current body and lived vulnerability, distress escalates and engagement with treatment predictably drops. When that happens, is the risk clinical, or procedural?

In emergency medicine, decisions are made fast. If records prioritise birth sex over current anatomy and physiology, clinicians can be routed toward incorrect assumptions under pressure. When seconds matter, which information actually predicts safer outcomes?

Transiness @transiness.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

If hospital policy uses "biological sex" for ward placement, a post-surgical transitioned woman can be assigned to a male ward. The outcome is either psychological or medical harm. At what point does “following biological sex” stop being a neutral classification and become foreseeable harm?
