Woman loses sex discrimination case after toilet complaint - BBC News Maria Kelly took legal action against Leonardo UK alleging harassment and discrimination after seeing a trans colleague in female toilets.

Good news for trans workers

After the Girl guiding and WI announcements, some comfort for trans workers.

A Scottish tribunal has ruled that a trans-inclusive workplace policy is NOT discriminatory against a woman with gender critical views in the workplace.

Trans girls banned from joining Girlguiding Girls’ adventure charity says it made decision after seeking legal advice in wake of supreme court ruling on gender

Wish I was posting more happy Christmas content but I'm just so devastated about the decision by Girlguiding and the continued harm caused by the supreme court 😔

Love this time of year and getting cosy 🎄😍

The image is a graphic with a gradient background that shifts from a dark magenta on the left to a vibrant magenta in the middle, and finally to a deep blue on the right. In the top center, the logo for Robyn Ochs is visible in white. The main text, also in white, reads: HAPPY BI+ VISIBILITY DAY Below this text, centered and in a smaller font, it says: September 23, 2025 Four white, stylized star shapes are scattered around the main text, with two on the top right and two on the bottom left.

Today is Bi+ Visibility Day! For over 50 years, I've been saying that every time a bisexual person makes their identity known, that is a form of activism. So today, let's celebrate all the ways bi+ people are visible—as well as the beautiful and complex ways we exist.

Current mood

Feeling simultaneously exhausted and energised at the end of my first week as a TEP and the day after @edpsy.bsky.social Festival of Educational Psychology. So many thoughts in my head! Looking forward to doing it all again on Monday 😊

Ah I haven't read any VE Schwab yet so they're on my TBR! Any recommendations for where to start? 😊

(blurb and critics' praise included in hopes of enticing someone into reading it too so I have someone to talk about it with!)

This book is absolutely gorgeous and I have simply devoured it over the past few days. Although fiction, it certainly reflects real life prejudices and the impact of underestimating children.

My favourite quote:
"Home is where you feel like yourself"❤️

The poster reads: "We need you! Do you care for a young person who identifies as gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, transgender or non-binary? We are interested in understanding possible experiences of stigma that caregivers of LGBTQ+ young people may go through, and their relationship with their young person. Requirements: To take part you must: Be a parent or caregiver of someone under 18 years identifying as LGBTQIA+, Be willing to share your experiences and help us contribute to research, Have 20 minutes to complete an online questionnaire Be based in the UK. All responses will be anonymised.

The footer of the poster reads "Caregiver Associative stigma and relationship to acceptance of child gender identity V1.0, May 2025"

Researchers at Oxford University are recruiting caregivers of LGBT+ youth for a study on stigma & family relationships. It is an online survey that takes 20-30 minutes, and all answers are anonymised. Please visit : psychiatryoxford.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Indeed it is not 😔

LGBT pupils: Paul Givan says research removed 'to keep website up to date' - BBC News The Department of Education commissioned the research on the experience of LGBT pupils, and published it in 2017.

It might be an older piece of research, but as Alexa Moore comments, understanding young people's experiences are crucial. Erasing research that provides a platform for their voices is dreadful 😔

Can't wait! 🥳

I'm teaching RSE in a school this week. I think schools really need to focus on a massive programme of radical socialisation. Make them sites of joy and possibility. Put that first and then think about the curriculum (inc RSE). Not the other way round. Academic achievement will also follow.

Gosh I suppose I need to change my BlueSky handle now... As I say goodbye to AEP life, TEP fun is right around the corner! 😱
