Inspired by a reddit post I drew this cartoon. Do they look familiar? #transwomenarewomen #EHRC #transrights

A hand drawn cartoon showing 3 gender critical ghouls standing next to a grave stone with a transgender flag and the words beloved woman on it, and a blahaj from ikea in front of it. Two of the ghouls are holding signs that say "Stop the grave theft!!" and "Single sex cemeteries!!" The third is saying "He's taking a place from a real woman!" Underneath the drawing is a caption that says "The continuing non compliance with the EHRC guidance is making sex mattress increasingly unhinged."

This is insane, but expected thanks to all that “clarity.”

One caller told the charity she was followed into the women's toilet, pushed into a cubicle and touched by two men. According to Chana, the men had justified it by saying the court "gave them a right to check if you're a man or woman"

Ian Dunts' latest substack is a wonderful summary of Faulkners grilling by the Women and Equality Select Comission and picks apart the EHRC guidance and highlights why workplaces could be open to legal action if they follow it. A must-read for every UK trans. iandunt.substack.com/p/judgement-...

This was, simply put, the eradication of trans people from the country's social fabric. Most people cannot take a job if they have to out themselves to their colleagues whenever they need the loo. They will not go to a restaurant or the theatre or attend trade union meetings or go to church or see their child in a school play. The toilet issue is at once stupefyingly banal and yet existential.

I had an unexpected encounter with my estranged mother yesterday in the ladies' toilet. She was waiting for the cubicle I was in! The irony wasn't lost on me, given that our estrangement stems from her refusal to acknowledge my gender identity.

Attacks on the trans community are relentless atm, from the Cass Scandel, the PB ban, CPS guidance and now this: www.gov.uk/government/p... Going to the EHRC for advice, that will probably end with the Equalities Act being changed to biological sex, rendering GRCs pointless.

Forcing trans kids to go through the wrong puberty gives them the worst possible start in life, sets them up for a lifetime of unnecessary misery, and costs them thousands trying to undo the effects You could take action and end the PB ban but choose to pander to gender criticals instead.
