TransForum UK (they/them)

Hmm. Here's their phone number for "enquiries and feedback" for anyone who'd like to give them a call

I mean you COULD just tweet/etc at them but there's nothing like real phone calls from confused/disappointed/alienated customers to make clear people's feelings about the humiliation of segregation

Dear Laura Thank you for getting in touch and sharing your concerns with us. We understand that the recent ruling and subsequent guidance have caused uncertainty and concern for many. Please be assured that the Natural History Museum is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all. We are currently reviewing the implications of the recent Supreme Court ruling and awaiting further clarification and industry specific guidance. We appreciate your support and your advocacy for inclusivity, and we want to reassure you that our commitment to treating all our visitors with dignity and respect remains unchanged.

Decided to write to all the London attractions In a Friend/Member of and ask for assurances they won't treat trans visitors unfavourably in future. Natural History Museum are first to respond

Trans inclusion after the Supreme Court decision: FAQs | Good Law Project Guidance for this time of uncertainty

If your employer is struggling to work out how to respond to the awful Supreme Court decision this FAQs document reflects advice we've had from a team including a leading KC. goodlawproject.org/resource/tra...

In line with the interim guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), and to comply with the Equality Act, our single-sex facilities are provided on the basis of biological sex. We appreciate that this may be upsetting, particularly for those who wish to use facilities that reflect their gender identity. So to ensure that everyone feels respected and supported during their visit, we provide gender-neutral, accessible toilets across the Gardens (separate from the male and female designated toilets). Their locations are listed below. Victoria Plaza Palm House Pond Ruined Arch Temperate House Brentford Gate Kew Palace Orangery Family Kitchen Pavilion Bar & Grill In addition, the toilets inside the Botanical Bar & Brasserie are all gender-neutral. Thank you for sharing your concerns, and we look forward to welcoming you to the Gardens again soon.

"So to ensure that everyone feels respected and supported during their visit, we provide gender-neutral, accessible toilets across the Gardens"

I'm nonbinary, and I have never felt less respected and supported than when you use gender neutral toilets to segregate binary trans people.

How did this Supreme Court ruling happen? A brief history of how Great Britain became Terf Island How the UK anti-trans machine turned the UK from a place of hope for the Trans+ community, to hate

🏳️‍⚧️ "They will not win because, for all these reasons and more, they cannot win. Ultimately, even if everyone else wants to let them, we will not."

Separate is never equal.

They said: “Most people, including some fairly senior ones, had no idea the interim guidance was coming until it was published late on the Friday evening. “They woke up to texts from family members and friends saying: ‘What’s going on?’ Staff working on sex and gender issues hadn’t been told, and nor had the duty press staff who were meant to explain it to the media. It was completely shambolic. “This is, understandably, a fairly inclusive workplace and quite a few staff have trans friends or even partners. They suddenly had to try and explain this guidance which made no sense. “The pushback has been really strong. Some stakeholders are saying they can no longer work with us. Loads of staff say they’re looking for other jobs. The approach from the chair and senior leadership has been really secretive and paranoid.”

This reads like more evidence that the interim EHRC guidance was drawn up by Kishwer Falkner and cronies, without input from neutral expert staffers.

Now THIS is how you do a response statement.

Cis-allies: Now’s the time to step up 📢 If you’re feeling helpless after the UK Supreme Court ruling and the EURC’s response, here’s 5 practical steps you can take to support the trans community right now: 1️⃣ Tell your MP you oppose the ruling and anti-trans guidance — use a template, personalise it, and hit send. 2️⃣ Stay informed, avoid media spin, and learn the facts from trusted, trans-led sources. 3️⃣ Support legal funds and healthcare access for trans people. 4️⃣ Make your support public — show up, speak up, and wear your allyship proudly. 5️⃣ Challenge transphobia when it’s safe to do so — silence helps no one. There are plenty more things you can do to help - attend protests and marches, have those awkward conversations with your colleagues, friends, family - but these are a starting point.

For cis allies; something you can do to support trans people…

I'm suing the EHRC. Anti-trans interim guidance challenged

I'm suing the EHRC.

“Akua Reindorf KC, was overheard in the Supreme Court building plotting with activists from other hate groups about the next steps to take once the judgment was delivered. This is one of the factual grounds for the challenge.”

From 3 years ago ...

@BBCWomansHour have said the ultra extremist anti-trans hate-group the LGB Alliance will be on their show next Monday.

Please share and prevent this.

The Government hasn't forced a longer consultation period on the EHRC to avoid a pre-determined outcome. It's forced a longer consultation period on the EHRC the better to shield Labour politically from the pre-determined outcome.

I find it's almost always clearest & best to use their terminology quotatively, in inverted commas & hedged with "so-called".

Therefore "so-called 'biological sex'" or "so-called 'birth sex'" etc

Then they can't (pretend to) misunderstand & also makes clear the dodginess of their terminology.

Very pleased to say, we've at last managed to get up some practical guidance on what the For (Some) Women Scotland decision means.

This is worth noting; the EHRC has form. It has previously produced “guidance” that, like their current“interim” hogwash, was ignored by everyone.

..."piss on the floor" & be sacked.

Basically the so-called "Equalities" minister is forcing employers to "out" transgender employees to their colleagues… -> humiliation, exclusion & stigma

AND making employment even HARDER for trans people to obtain - what employer wants this hassle?
#EHRC #SHAME

That's true for public toilets - a nightmare for service providers to "enforce biological sex" as they don't know the users

But easier to enforce in workplace toilets like this case - employers usually know which of their employees are trans (originally to protect them but now to exclude/harm them)

Not the airplane toilets!

Airbus are banning their transgender EMPLOYEES from using the toilets at work. "Outing" & endangering them

They've rushed to do this even BEFORE the draft guidelines have been reviewed & confirmed… eager to start humiliating & harming their trans employees ASAP.

Another day, another needing to say "The young men who buy into Andrew Tate's bullshit are not victims but perpetrators of the rape culture he sells them".

I think there's an argument to be made that they are often victims of some kind of fraud/con artistry/grift. But not victims of the misogyny.

Vet found hanging draped in trans flag The suicide letter they won't publish

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.

Thank you for supporting us.

Sadly your party doesn't.

In implementing that dishonest farce the Cass Report, Labour has committed a permanently-unforgivable betrayal of LGBT rights and is putting in place state-enforced "Conversion Therapy".

Thank you for opposing your party's crimes against us.

X under Musk is like a toxic partner, MP says in ‘break-up letter’ Labour’s Sarah Owen has joined a list of MPs leaving Elon Musk’s platform over its rise in misogyny, threats and intimidation

Until now, the consensus on X has been that it is a necessary evil for anyone in politics.

But I know my presence on X no longer benefits my role or the people I seek to serve.

So I have left, for good.

YouTube video by Sarah Owen MP Progress isn't inevitable - we need to fight for LGBTQ+ rights | Sarah Owen MP

LGBTQ+ people are some of the strongest I know.

They aren't 'snowflakes' for asking to be treated with dignity in public life. This LGBT+ history month, I asked for a timeline on:

➡A full trans-inclusive conversion therapy ban
➡making anti-LGBT hate crime an aggravated offence
➡Reforming the GRA

If you're implementing Cass, you're already implementing conversion therapy.

Abandoning trans people is 'fascist logic', says leading feminist philosopher Leading feminist philosopher Judith Butler has declared that abandoning trans people or any minority is operating within 'fascist logic'.

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

Me too. Early on when you don’t know where to turn for support. But most parents do enough research and have their children’s best interests at heart to see through this eventually. It’s just the transphobic ones who stay to listen further. And Wes Streeting 😡
