“As the genocide survivors in Gaza seem to understand a little better than some in the west, Palestine and Sudan are haunted by the same ghosts. If we are to perform an exorcism, it must include Gordon and Kitchener as prominently as it does Balfour.” novaramedia.com/2025/11/07/s...

Thanks to @abortionrights.bsky.social for raising this alarm: the memo sent to the BBC criticises journalists for using the term “reproductive rights” in US election coverage, claiming the phrase is "contested" + signalling a biased mindset to many BBC viewers 🤨 abortionrights.org.uk/press-releas...

Exciting progress on our case against the EHRC's transphobic guidance following the Supreme Court judgement on the definition on a woman.

The guidance was rushed + harmful, causing orgs across the country to rush out policies excluding trans people. Let's hope it's deemed unlawful before xmas 🧑‍🎄🤞

Keir Starmer tries to look tough - and exposes himself as a coward The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇

1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK

2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves

3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries

Trans people at risk of exclusion from many UK public spaces, rights expert says Council of Europe commissioner voices concerns after April’s supreme court ruling on legal definition of a woman

“Inferences being drawn from the UK supreme court judgment...could lead to widespread exclusion of trans people from many public spaces...this...may severely infringe on their ability to participate fully and equally in society.”

Is conversion therapy free speech? Colorado says no. Supreme Court justices seem skeptical.

“As Chiles' lawyer put it in court…Colorado's rationale "would allow states to silence all kinds of speech in the counseling room, such as disfavored views on divorce or abortion." @enbrown.bsky.social reason.com/2025/10/08/i...

Thanks to everyone who spoke to me for this story. I also wanna add that it may not just be the kids registered at this practice impacted - the legal threat + investigation could lead to a total ban on hormones for under 18s. Read the full piece here: goodlawproject.org/christian-ri...

Christian right targets Brighton GP treating young trans people An ultra-conservative anti-abortion lawyer has threatened a GP practice in Brighton with legal action, risking further restrictions on healthcare for young trans people.

As always, those who are anti-trans also turn out to be anti-gay and anti-abortion. They are the same people, and the same groups funding them.

Christian right targets Brighton GP treating young trans people An ultra-conservative anti-abortion lawyer has threatened a GP practice in Brighton with legal action, risking further restrictions on healthcare for young trans people.

A practice treating young #trans ppl is being investigated after a lawyer with links to Christian right + #gender criticals sent a threat. These cases can look organic, but there are often other forces behind them. Here, the victims are vulnerable kids. My latest: goodlawproject.org/christian-ri...

A key player in the overturn of #abortion rights in the US is fuelling 'March for Life UK' in LDN tomorrow. This raises concerns about the import of anti-#gender fundamentalism to the UK, threatening the bodily autonomy/rights of women + LGBTQ+ ppl.

Read my investigation here:

The draft is cruel; there is no evidence it will better protect women, cis or trans; it breaches Labour's manifesto commitment to trans people; it is unenforceable; encourages vigilanteism; and it is clearly inconsistent with the UK's obligations under the ECHR. We will challenge it in court. 2/2

We are aware of the EHRC's briefing to The Times about its draft statutory guidance. The draft is inconsistent with the Supreme Court's explicit assurance (from para 248) that its "interpretation would not be disadvantageous to or remove protection from trans people with or without a GRC." 1/2

I get that, but this is technically true. See here in the piece. But yes, as I report in the story the way it is done can be harassment etc for sure.

I hear you! But from a legal perspective in the UK this is true, see the explanation in the piece here.

We need free speech, and gender-criticals have the right to express their views. But when does this expression become harassment, bullying or discrimination?

Thanks to everyone who spoke to me for this piece, particularly the trans journalist and campaigner, who has been through a lot.
