The hateful march we saw in London last weekend has left many of the women we support feeling scared and unwelcome.⁣⁣

We witness the devastating impact of anti-trans rhetoric, aimed predominantly at trans women, that masquerades as feminism while advancing nothing but harm. Not In Our Name - NION Women Icon

Anti-trans rhetoric doesn’t protect women. It causes harm. It masquerades as feminism while stripping away solidarity and compassion.

Real feminism is about justice and equality for all women, including trans women.

Along with over 80 partner organisations, we are writing to MPs across the UK calling for robust Parliamentary scrutiny of the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) forthcoming Code of Practice on Services, Public Functions and Associations.

Infographic titled 'Violence Against Women and Girls in the UK.' Key statistics include: 1 in 3 will experience domestic violence; 2 women are murdered by a partner or ex-partner every 8 days; over 90% of rape and sexual assault perpetrators are known to victims; 1 in 2 rapes are by a partner or ex-partner; over 90% of stalking perpetrators are known to victims; 1 in 3 rape survivors experience it at home; women denied public funds are 3 times more likely to experience violence; 1 in 2 stalking victims are stalked by a current or ex-partner. Logos at the bottom: End Violence Against Women, Hibiscus, Southall Black Sisters, Women for Refugee Women.

🚨 The reality of VAWG in the UK is alarming. Using it to push a racist agenda does not represent us.

We’ve joined 200 organisations to urge the government to reject this dangerous weaponisation of VAWG and to take urgent action.

OUR STATEMENT ON THE TRANS BATHROOM BAN IN PARLIAMENT DO NOT LET THEM SCARE YOU AWAY! Turn Up Make Your Voice Heard

Parliamentary Trans Toilet Ban We, like you, are appalled by today's announcement regarding toilet usage on the Parliamentary estate. Publicising this change just before a mass lobby designed to support trans+ people exercising their democratic rights is outrageous. This demonstrates just how right we are to be worried about a UK trans bathroom ban. This is why we believe our mass lobby -opposing guidance which would mandate this approach across all areas of public life - is so important. As the space is controlled by Parliament, and we are simply facilitating trans+ people and their allies in exercising their democratic rights, the decision surrounding toilet access does not lie with us. Nor is it up to us which toilets you use. There will be gender neutral toilets available. We have made clear to Parliamentary staff that we believe their approach is wrong both in law and in principle, and that we will play no part in enforcing it. No matter what, our volunteers will be there to support people on the day. Do not let them scare you away. Turn up, and make your voice heard. Let MPs see exactly what impact a trans bathroom ban will have in reality. Yours in solidarity, always Trans+ Solidarity Alliance

Our statement on the trans bathroom ban in Parliament.

This evening UK Parliament voted to reform abortion law. It is the most substantial reform in almost 50 years.

This is an historic moment.

Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”.

They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour.

They were gunned down and murdered instead.

What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

🚨 Emergency Protest: Stop Bombing Iran - Stop Arming Israel
⏰ Saturday, 14 June, 2PM
📍 Downing Street, London

As it commits genocide against the Palestinians Israel is now bombing Iran. Join us to demand our government stop arming genocidal Israel.

Last week I updated my mega-post "What's wrong with the Cass Review?" with new links to analysis and evidence.

I have no illusions about the current political landscape. It will likely take years to undo Cass' act of sabotage. But I am in this fight for the long haul and hope you are too.
