I fully endorse their actions.

Yes, you heard me. I fully endorse this direct action against a government that openly abuses the human rights of trans children and adult.

Trans people poured their hearts into this consultation. The EHRC won't even bother to read them.

'Rushed out' EHRC trans toilet guidance could be sent to govt as soon as August An EHRC representative has claimed its trans toilet guidance could be finished and sent to govt by August, court documents have shown.

Alex Parmar-Yee said the EHRC’s claim that it would seriously consider the submissions in just a month is β€œsimply not credible.”

β€œThis is an emergency, and we urge people to tell their MP now – this isn’t how we should make decisions about fundamental rights.”

It isn't just inflation, it isn't just one issue, there's so many interconnected problems that keep being unnecessarily made worse, ignored, + blame thrown onto scapegoats to distract away from decades and recent systemic issues, where solutions aren't logically thought out, and manipulating anger.

And that's just me talking about ONE particular field.

Let alone the insane student visa cost and restrictions that Universities get a lot of their money from, and if less come than that's another blow for everyone trying to get into high skilled jobs.
And higher fees dished out to make up losses.

Tuition fees in England and Wales rise to Β£9,535 Maintenance loans have also gone up, meaning students can borrow more to help with living costs.

Yet constant complaints when doctors and nurses ask for pay to live on, whilst trying to pay for accommodation, training, food, kids, and paying back tuition.. and struggling with Healthcare workforce losing out on visa workers, adding pressure on them.

I will not back the Green Party in the UK if Adrian Ramsay is still co-leading.

Standards are needed, not transphobia.

Loyalty isn't a given
when values, such as Human Rights are not held up.

Civil rights agency sued over handling of trans worker discrimination complaints The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has dropped several lawsuits on behalf of transgender workers, stalled progress on some new cases and subjected others to heightened scrutiny.

The EEOC is being sued for discriminating against trans people.

I wish a very happy β€œfuck you” to everyone who thought throwing trans people under the bus was going to stop these lunatics

Their goal has *always* been the eradication of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and they’re not gonna stop at Obergefell either

This is why we fight for *everyone*

This is an emergency.

The time to act is now.

The EHRC is not changing course.

Make sure your MP knows what is happening.

For Jude, founder of Trans Solidarity Alliance, this "destroys any ability the EHRC has to claim it is a fair arbiter of equality and human rights for all."

"It rushed through a consultation as quickly as the courts would let it, and we now know it doesn't even intend to read all the responses."

Zohran Mamdani being *more* popular among NYC Jews than among NYC voters as a whole is a wild fact, and completely belies much of the national narrative surrounding his candidacy.

The people in the national media who talk a lot about antisemitism are often not listening to actual Jews.

Ms Peggie’s lawyer Naomi Cunningham says there is no third gamete beyond eggs and sperm - Dr Curer said this is a β€œvery simplified definition”. She said there are also chromosomes that β€œdon't produce reproductive organs due to a lack of responsiveness to hormones”. That means someone can carry the chromosomes of one sex but not present at that sex at birth or later in life.

Dr Currer then said: β€œI don’t believe it is possible to change your chromosomes or carrier type. I do believe it’s possible to change your expression of gender.”

Ms Cunningham is then asking about neovaginas, a surgical cavity made with skin from a penis or colon, which can be surgically created on a trans woman. She said it is β€œobviously not” a vagina because β€œany sperm ejaculated into such a cavity would find itself in a dead end with no egg to fertilise”. Dr Currer agrees.

Reading through this is wild. Fife's lawyer is asking about rotas, Peggie's is talking about where spunk goes.

It's an employment tribunal.
