Guidance from EHRC should be challenged by Labour I WRITE as a feminist and the parent of a trans teenager. I have also spent years working to safeguard women and children. I understand risk- and where harm comes from. I'm writing because of the damage being done by the initial guidance on single-sex spaces from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), and the urgent need for principled leadership from Keir Starmer. The trans community - and by extension, my child - faces hostility, suspicion, and dehumanisation simply for existing. The hatred I see online is terrifying. When politicians fail to stand up for their rights, it sends a chilling message: that trans people are not safe, not welcome, not worthy of dignity. That families like mine don't matter. But it also fails women. It misdirects their fear. The risk to women and children is overwhelmingly from cis men. Women are not safe in their own homes - why are we talking about toilets?

This guidance doesn't protect women it undermines us. It shifts the burden of safety onto marginalised groups, rather than addressing the real sources of harm. It tells cis women that their fear should be directed at trans women, rather than at the systems that fail to protect them from male violence. It also divides us. It pits cis women against trans women, when we should be united in fighting misogyny, inequality, and abuse. It distracts from the real battles - like the epidemic of domestic violence, the failures of the justice system, and the rise of online misogyny. It offers a false sense of security while leaving the actual threats untouched. As a feminist, I find this deeply regressive. It's not about protecting women - it's about controlling spaces. And this brings me to the hypocrisy of current safeguarding rhetoric. Politicians claim to be protecting children, yet ignore the fact that many public spaces - swimming pools, for example - are not gendered. Children routinely share spaces with cis men, often with no supervision. No-one seems concerned about safeguarding in those contexts. Male children routinely stand beside adult men exposing themselves at urinals - yet no-one calls for reform in those spaces. Sex offenders are not routinely stopped from using public toilets. But no pearl-clutching for that. Why? Because the concern isn't about safeguarding - it's about targeting trans people under the guise of protection. The current political framing of trans people as a blanket risk is not only inaccurate - it's unethical. It is also incompatible with trauma- informed practice. Blanket bans and exclusionary policies ignore the complexity of trauma, identity, and safety. Trauma-informed work requires us to consider the individual, not to impose rigid categories. It demands that we create environments where people feel safe, seen, and respected.

I am astounded that Labour have not yet publicly rejected the EHRC's guidance. Surely their role is to challenge it - not quietly adopt it. It is the role of politicians to lead, to legislate, to protect - not to defer responsibility. The EHRC's proposals are unworkable. They do not support the rights of my trans child. From what I've read, they are focused on exclusion, not inclusion. Are we going to segregate trans youth like it's 1950s America? That seems to be what Wes Streeting is suggesting. Will my child have to walk miles to find a toilet they can safely use? This issue does not exist in a vacuum. Women in the UK face enormous challenges. We have a police force riddled with misogyny. În Scotland alone, there were 65,000 reported domestic abuse incidents last year. We face inequality in healthcare, threats to reproductive rights, and systemic failures in protecting victims of violence. Online misogyny is on the rise. These are the issues that demand urgent attention. Yet here we are talking about single-sex spaces. This is not about protecting women. It is about stoking fear. It is about scapegoating a marginalised group. And it is deeply harmful - not just to trans people, but to all women. All this could have been avoided. So much harm has been done - harm that will take years to undo. My child's life has been made more painful, more difficult, more isolating. Not because of who they are, but because of what the Labour Party has legitimised. Because of the fear and hatred that has been fuelled. I urge Keir Starmer to reject the EHRC's guidance, to listen to trans people, parents and professionals, and to lead with empathy - and more importantly, with evidence. Because right now, Labour is failing trans children. As a parent, it's horrifying. Parent of a Trans Child

"A blanket ban on access to gender- affirming spaces does not support healing. It retraumatises. It isolates. It tells vulnerable young people that their needs don't matter."

A powerful letter from a parent of a trans child in the National today, calling for the govt. to challenge EHRC guidance.

Happy #InternationalLesbianDay to all the lesbians out there! Hope you're having a wonderful day. Here's a thread of a few historic lesbian stories (not necessarily stories about lesbians, but definitely stories that have a place in the history of wlw) to brighten your day. #lesbianhistory

Sozialministerium sieht ME/CFS-Versorgung gesichert

Es ist nicht nur falsch sondern auch immer wieder ein Schlag ins Gesicht der Betroffenen und Angehörigen, wenn das Ministerium und SV-Träger von flächendeckender Versorgung bei #MECFS schreiben.

Ein theoretischer Versorgungspfad auf dem Papier, mit dem gegaslightet wird 1/2

Walter P.: Große Medienbühne für Rechtsextremen, um Trans-Rechte lächerlich zu machen Österreichische Medien berichten über einen Mann, der seinen Geschlechtseintrag ändern ließ, um seine Haft in einem Frauengefängnis abzusitzen. Der Fall ist ein gefundenes Fressen für transfeindliche ...

dass der typ schon lang in einem rechtsextremen umfeld aktiv ist, müsste eigentlich verhindern, dass andere medien den fall ohne entsprechende einordnung aufgreifen.

As someone with a very loud brain that I like to try and silence with lots of loud things (video, radio, music, etc)... I am so mad that the best thing to do is to actually just sit in silence without moving for a full half an hour. Game changing. Silences the brain completely for hours.

Seeing multiple reports about people coming down with Covid after Fantastic Fest. Most of those people will recover okay! Statistically, however, some will get Long Covid and watch their life flip upside down. Going to a fun event shouldn’t include this risk. We HAVE to adapt to, not ignore, Covid.

If someone is wearing a mask and keeping themselves, you should politely leave them the alone and mind your fucking business.

This post brought to you by someone who decided it was a bright idea to confront me while I was quietly waiting for the tube as to why I'm wearing a mask.

This was from banning trans girls from girls sports. Just so you understand the reality of what's going on here.

Not having been personally affected by the struggles of being a trans kid/teen playing sports, doesn't change my stance on it. No kid or teen should be excluded from sports!
The hate that especially our younger trans siblings are confronted by is sickening and disheartening! 🏳️‍⚧️

Petition EN7799 - Stop VISA and MASTERCARD from dictating access to Legal Content. Petition Status The petition is currently open for signatures OPEN CLOSED 一雪一〇 PRESENTED RESPONDED Petition Reason VISA and MASTERCARD control the payment processor market, in a monopoly, that is not regulated in the least. These companies openly dictate access to services, sales, or operations, of legal items, or legal businesses, based on their own political views. Credit Card Processors should only be there to process legal transactions, and not dictate what someone spends their money on. VISA and MASTERCARD are so big and control a market that can be equated to a utility. There are no alternatives widely available in the market, despite these companies acting as a key part of all payment infrastructure. just like water companies or electricity providers are regulated to prevent them from stopping service based on arbitrary views, VISA and MASTERCARD should be held to the same standard.

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.”

Petition Ban payment processors stopping services based on objections to legal content Government should legislate that payment processing companies may not place stipulations on use of their services regarding sales of otherwise legal content and, if they do so, must face legal penalties and must remunerate platforms and individuals for lost income until service is restored. • More details Sign this petition 231 signatures Show on a map 10,000

It turns out when you try to put complex biology into a false binary, you end up with a lot of people who don't fall neatly into either category and ss a result they have their lives destroyed. It's modern day eugenics against the intersex community.

Jim, I am asking you to watch this and, with a straight face, tell me you don't think this girl should be allowed to play field hockey with her friends? youtu.be/yf9MfYZ-Bl4?... And before you say "but that's not the example I had in mind," it *is* what the anti-trans laws you support do.

she’s got a point

No one talks about the struggle of buying clothes when you’re built like a tall transsexual ostrich😫

A tweet from the official FBI Twitter account dated June 2, 2025, reads: "Help the FBI protect children. As the Attorney General has made clear, we will protect our children and hold accountable those who mutilate them under the guise of gender-affirming care. Report tips of any hospitals, clinics, or practitioners performing these surgical procedures on children at 1-800-CALL-FBI or tips.fbi.gov." The tweet has 106K views.

The FBI is now going after trans people and their healthcare. Today it's gender affirming care, tomorrow abortion. This is the authoritarian playbook on display.

Protect trans kids and allow gender affirming care for them! ⚧️💜

Memorial for George Floyd at the Say Their Names cemetery

George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today.

The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

Extremist atheists are just repackaged Christofascists.

They rely on the same methods of unyielding dogma and rhetoric to force their beliefs onto others.

It's also an extremely Eurocentric and white mentality, that disregards religions, traditions, and spirituality in non-white communities.

Good morning !
