If you are helping someone get out of the toilet okay you don't need to get all "Trans Rights!" you can just say "hey bro/sis I wondered where you were come hang with me" and leave together.

Again, making spaces safe, making yourself safe when people threaten you etc is not about what's legal but about de-escalation and getting the fuck out of an unsafe situation. Toilet harassment can happen to anyone, being part of the community working against it can be done by anyone.

hello venues, LGBTQ+ clubs and organisations, workplaces and pals Social posts and posters are nice, but we need you to write to the EHRC and tell them their new guidance (see next slides) doesn't work for you They can't tell people how to run a gay or lesbian club. And they can't make you be toilet cops. Please tell them it doesn't work for you. A quick email or phone call will help a lot.

From the EHRC interim guidance: In workplaces and services that are open to the public: • trans women (biological men) should not be permitted to use the women's facilities and trans men (biological women) should not be permitted to use the men's facilities, as this will mean that they are no longer single-sex facilities and must be open to all users of the opposite sex • in some circumstances the law also allows trans women (biological men) not to be permitted to use the men's facilities, and trans men (biological woman) not to be permitted to use the women's facilities From Phoenix: If we pass too well, we aren't allowed in either gendered toilet or changing room. It's not fair to segregate us, never mind the impact on disabled people if abled trans people use their facilities

From the EHRC interim guidance: Membership of an association of 25 or more people can be limited to men only or women only and can be limited to people who each have two protected characteristics. It can be, for example, for gay men only or lesbian women only. A women-only or lesbian-only association should not admit trans women (biological men), and a men-only or gay men-only association should not admit trans men (biological women). From Phoenix: If you run a gay or lesbian club, night, bar, sauna, reading group, walking group etc - the EHRC say you have to exclude trans people or include cishets. Freedom of association is under threat

Time is of the essence. They're going to make this guidance statutory and Parliament will make that law soon. We will try to help with template letters etc, but your initial objections should be logged NOW. We love you, you need to speak up.

Time is of the essence and we need to fight the EHRC interim guidance before it becomes statutory and Parliament make it law.

Don’t just shout about it, write to them. Also tell the media, if you can get them to care. I’ve posted this on Instagram.

Speak to your unions and staff networks at work

This is a really bad idea and I don't recommend anyone carries these cards made by translucent.

If you are challenged in the loos finish your business there, leave quietly and peacefully, start filming if you are being threatened and get the fuck to safety first and foremost

If the case hadn't been corrupt and the GCs had lost they'd have a protest of about 30 people in one city

Trans rights supporters rally outside UK parliament

Foreign news outlets find the rally newsworthy when BBC don’t report it on their doorstep

Manchester says #TransRights again! Another fantastic turn out in Manchester. Lots of amazing and funny and heartbreaking protest signs. Trans rights now! 🏳️‍⚧️

If you’re going to a protest today, remember not to hold a preprinted sign. They’re nearly always from the SWP, who are rape apologists and don’t care about trans rights - they’re just opportunists who use protests to recruit and fundraise

@prideinlabour.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social just had an email from Angela Rayner asking for donations. You HAVE to be joking. You’ve lied to get votes and have thrown trans people under the bus, taken away existing care, and put their lives in danger. I hate you!

It's more than comrade Delta, one of our younger trans comrades whistleblew on his experiences in the SWP a year ago.

Perhaps most concerningly, the Supreme Court adopts extremely transphobic rhetoric concerning transfeminine lesbians. The Court concludes that a lesbian “must be a [AFAB] female who is sexually oriented towards (or attracted to) [AFAB] females”. The Court concludes that female here cannot include trans women, as the “concept of sexual orientation” would be “rendered meaningless”, and in its opinion, wrongly affect the composition of lesbians as a group. The Court claims this would lead to an “inevitable loss of autonomy and dignity for lesbians”. It points to evidence from gender-critical groups like the LGB Alliance and The Lesbian Project to make this argument. They claim the inclusion of trans women is having a ‘chilling effect on lesbians’ to associate in lesbian-only spaces. The vast majority of lesbians reject this claim.

👨‍⚖️ The UK Supreme Court just redefined what a lesbian is

Manchester says #TransRights, we're not a group of well funded transphobes celebrating bigotry in the sunshine with champagne and flowers. We're a community standing in the rain, on a dark day for human rights, here to support each other, spread love & hope, not fear & hate. Xoxo
