We see politicians weaponising fear about trans+ people to avoid addressing the systemic issue that actually endanger women. Not in our name. NION icon

The statement in the image is one line taken from our letter - 'Not In Our Name: Women in support of the trans+ community'.

If you agree, read and sign our letter and stand alongside 42K+ other likeminded women in the UK who refuse to be used as cover for discrimination:

Hundreds of firms warn new draft guidance on single sex spaces is ‘unworkable’ Exclusive: More than 650 organisations have urged Bridget Phillipson to ‘take immediate action to prevent these proposals from moving forward’

The EHRC transphobic “guidance” is unworkable say lots of firms.

Reminder: the government could repeal the Supreme Court misjudgment any time it likes.

100’s of firms warn new guidance on single sex spaces is ‘unworkable’ and would cause ‘significant economic harm’

More than 650 organisations have urged Bridget Phillipson to ‘take immediate action to prevent these proposals from moving forward’ saying it’s incompatible with modern business values.

We delivered our joint letter to Parliament demanding full scrutiny, meaningful debate and a free vote for MPs on the new Code of Practice.

Many MPs we have spoken to are now ready to help.

@charlotteclymer.bsky.social posted this today. It’s a beautiful affirmation for trans and nonbinary people.

The absence of trans people from the British media is part of the problem. I'd like to offer mentoring to trans people trying to get into journalism, free of charge. Most of my experience is obviously in political commentary, but I might be passably useful in news and other areas.

This is what it comes down to in terms of how we actually function in society: not “what is a woman?”, but “how do you know I’m a woman?” Nobody has ever asked to inspect my gametes or chromosomes. Presentation is literally all anyone is going on.

Trans women arrested on Britain’s railways to be strip-searched by male officers British Transport Police amends policy in light of supreme court’s landmark ruling on definition of a woman

if I understand correctly, the campaigners wanted (in their words) to stop trans women officers with a gender recognition certificate searching women.

and, in response, the police have decided to allow male officers to search trans women.

Shortly before he died, Terry Pratchett assured me that, if there is an afterlife, he would give me a ring and let me know. That was ten years ago - and still no call. From which, incidentally, I draw no firm conclusions. What if there was an afterlife, but with no phone signal? But of course there is one place where Terry indisputably lives on: in the pages of his books and in the minds of the millions of readers around the world who turn those pages and continue to find them funny and true. For, while his words live on, so does Terry, and that will be the case, no question, not just for this one decade so quickly gone, but for many further decades to come. So let me join Lyn and Rhianna in raising a glass today to the magical persistence of books and to Sir Terry; gone but still so very firmly with us. Rob Wilkins

Viral posts that claim the pilot of the Black Hawk helicopter involved in the crash in Washington DC was a transgender woman named Jo Ellis who deliberately caused the incident are false and baseless.

Jo Ellis has posted on Facebook to confirm she's alive, and not the Black Hawk pilot.

Labour aligning themselves with JK Rowling, Murdoch, Trump and Putin.

Wes Streeting claimed he is just wanting to make evidence made decisions.

Well here's the evidence 👇🏼
