The UK has lost its collective mind.

This is what happens when organisations try to pander to transphobic bigotry, comining up with unworkable compromises that are still dehumanising and demeaning because they absolutely refuse to listen to trans people.

Pride Month - Hansard - UK Parliament Hansard record of the item : ' Pride Month' on Monday 23 June 2025.

How very Trumpian 🍊

Ministry of Justice scraps public support for LGBT in diversity overhaul Department promises to take ‘evidence-based’ approach after updating equality and diversity policy

The Ministry of Justice scrubbing LGBT, race and gender from its diversity policy isn’t neutrality it’s erasure. You don’t protect marginalised people by pretending they don’t exist. This isn’t progress. It’s a warning sign, and we should all be paying attention!!

For what its worth, Sec 127 of the Communications Act 2003 would be the more appropriate charge and wide-ranging.

"...to send or cause to be sent, via a public electronic communications network, a communication that is grossly offensive, indecent, obscene, or menacing"

Jumping on the "Interim Guidance" bandwagon, yet again!

We should have let the Lettuce have a shot!

Gotta appeal to the Russian bots and Reform voters somehow!

The ECHR keeps ruling very strongly in favour of trans people. Our government is going to either lose in court against them, or leave the ECHR and take everyone's humans rights away just to hurt trans people

Wow. This is all sorts of wrong.

This.

This is what we must aim for.

And a backtrack of the last few years from Cass onwards.

Sad to say for many,but anyone who consumes HP merchandise is funding her agenda.

Excise that malignancy.

100%

UK Govt seeing the threat of Reform by pandering to the Right and Mumsnet demographic.

Equality = Removing the rights of a maligned minority

The mental gymnastics to rationalise this is astounding.

Who would have thought, that Labour would do what the Tories have threatened to do since Brexit and trample all over the ECHR 🤔

The Chair of the EHRC, Baroness Falkner, just claimed in Parliament that Article 8 of the Human Rights Act doesn’t apply to trans people and falsely said the Supreme Court agrees.

MPs must speak out. Email your MP now using this template:

Trans People and Sports: Everything You Need to Know I have been writing about transgender people and issues for over twenty years now.

I really wish Simone Biles (& others) would read this – or literally any of the similarly in depth analyses of the research & complexities surrounding trans ppl & sports (no paywall)

We at @whatthetrans.com have already reported on one paper that was commissioned for but not included in Cass (later released as open access) that found very different things than what was in Cass.

Such clarity 🤦‍♀️

Pivoting further to the right seems to be political move du jour

Transphobia in UK: An Urgent Public Health Crisis In recent years, the pervasive issue of transphobia has increasingly been recognized not merely as a matter of social prejudice but as a critical public health concern. A groundbreaking study by Connolly, Meads, Wurm, and colleagues, published in the International Journal for Equity in Health in 2025, emphasizes that transphobia in the United Kingdom operates as a systemic health crisis with wide-ranging effects that transcend individual experiences, permeating societal structures and healthcare systems alike.

EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights.

🧵 As @iododds.bsky.social has already pointed out, the EHRC and the "supreme" court seem to want to create a historical/legal fiction that, in 2009 and 2010, parliament was proposing that The Equality Act (2010) was in fact a national toilet ban for trans people. As someone who was involved...

The veil slips...

@commonswec.parliament.uk We demand a full investigation into why the Government is pushing transphobes into the EHRC, this is not equality for all, it is equality to everyone except trans people.
