Gender Identity Clinic's Waiting Lists from Shortest To Longest

@zackpolanski.bsky.social
Have you seen this? Note, this is for a first appointment. Someone in my family has already been waiting 3.5 years. They saved to go private with a shared-care plan but the shared-care was removed after 2.5 years without any explanation. They’re 25yo, how is this right?

Thank you for this Sian. Our open letter shares many of the same concerns and has now reached over 54k signatures in support:

Thank you!
When will we hear the outcome of this, do you know, does anyone know?

An image of Sian's letter to the Minister for Women and Equalities. You can read the full text of her letter at: https://www.sianberry.org.uk/publications/letter-regarding-statutory-guidance-from-the-equality-human-rights-commission/

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents.

I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights.

Above - a copy and paste from the bottom section of the letter.

It is committed to protecting trans people, ensuring that they are treated with dignity and respect.

The Government would like to assure you that it remains steadfast in its commitment to uphold the Act which protects everyone, including trans people, from unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation in the workplace and wider society.

Following this, the Government will undertake an equalities impact assessment, in line with the Public Sector Equality Duty, and lay the approved draft in Parliament for scrutiny.

The EHRC will now take time to consider the responses to its consultation and make any necessary changes to the final draft before submitting it to the Minister for Women and Equalities for approval.

🚨 I've drafted a template MP letter to call on the Minister for Women & Equalities to reject any new EHRC Code unless & until the serious statements of alarm & condemnation from multiple international human rights bodies have been fully acknowledged & resolved.

Sorry - photo is of a public disabled toilet door, decorated with a trans symbol with the wording ‘inclusive’

frustrated cis male janitor then proceeded to use his janitor keys to open the disabled toilet door and look inside to see what the women were doing! And YOU think trans people are the problem!!!

Welcome Break Services, Telford. This is not ‘inclusive’ at all! It’s segregation, discriminatory and NOT the law. I waited here with my disabled mum as it was occupied by a large group of women, using it as an impromptu dressing room. A cis male janitor told us to use the baby changing. The…

History was made at the mass lobby for trans rights An estimated 900 trans+ people and allies turned up at Westminster, making it the largest LGBTQIA+ lobby on record

So, yesterday’s mass lobby of parliament was the largest LGBTQ + lobby of parliament ever, beating the Section 28 lobby in
The 1980s…

Good luck. I wish I could be there but I’m having to work.

We don't think the interim guidance published by the EHRC and pushed by Bridget Phillipson is lawful.

So today we've started legal proceedings against them.

A screenshot of an email that says: Dear Arthur Webber, Parliament is going to debate the petition you signed – “Allow transgender people to self-identify their legal gender.”. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/701159 The debate is scheduled for 19 May 2025.

Parliament is going to have a debate on self-ID on 19th May.

If your MP is supportive of trans rights, it’s really important that you write to them to ask them to be there.

The transphobes will turn out in force - we need to make sure allies do too.

Example #18202 that women’s football is far more inclusive of trans people than transphobes will ever understand (because they don’t actually care about women’s sport)

🚨 Sign our open Letter to UK Pride organisers 🚨
Barclays Bank, sponsor of Liverpool Pride, is banning trans people from using the workplace bathrooms they align with.
Our open letter to all major Pride organisers asks that they evaluate their sponsors to ensure that they're fully LGBTQ+ inclusive.

Lee's not exaggerating.

250 historians of/in the UK just signed this letter that *specifically* excoriates the Labour Party for enacting this anti-trans bigotry.

Historians don't fuck around when it comes to condemning monsters, nor the cowards who stood by and let it happen.
