@transsolidarity.bsky.social I managed to talk to several Mps at the lobby, Samatha Niblett, Dr Ros Savage, Sara Green, Tim Farron, Llinos Medi and Lord Brian Paddick all were very onside and keen to work for trans equality. An amazing lobby, incredibly well organised thanks to all.

Just spent the best part of 40 minutes talking to my MP; the lovely Dr @laurensullivanmp.bsky.social ; about the implications of the interim ERHC guidance which includes the "onion of weirdness" and "reverse Cinderella".
This was part of the mass lobby organised by @transsolidarity.bsky.social

Very productive meeting with my MP @tessamunt.bsky.social this afternoon @transsolidarity.bsky.social

One significant takeaway: don’t assume MPs are as knowledgeable around trans rights as you are. Information is helpful.

I’ve agreed to keep in touch with her to keep her up to date πŸ‘πŸ»

On way home from @transsolidarity.bsky.social mass lobby in Westminster. Queued 4 hours with my husband, Alice’s dad, to green card my MP, who we knew was unavailable , but waited 90minutes in case a member of her team would come and talk to us. My message: keep the gender police out of our toilets.
