‘What have I done wrong?’ Trans kids go back to school bathroom bans in Scotland Councils rushing to put policies on school bathrooms in place leave trans children facing confusion, distress and the risk of being outed.

If you're a parent with kids at school in Edinburgh it's time to get in touch with your school admin and make clear you will not accept them bullying trans kids out of education.

This is cruel and discriminatory behaviour. Child cruelty.

The Supreme Court ignored trans voices. I’m ashamed of what our law has become | Good Law Project The Supreme Court’s decision to exclude trans voices has harmed trans people – and harmed the fairness of their ruling.

I've put on my hob nailed boots and given the Supreme Court decision the kicking it deserves. goodlaw.social/vd3a
