M&S must be told that we won't tolerate being discriminated against
If you are a trans person or a cis ally, you can contact M&S to demand that they stick up for their trans staff and that they allow trans women to continue to use their facilities on equal terms.

The end game here is to ban trans people from employment, and trans customers from clothing stores, in case it causes distress to 'biological women'

An Appeal to M&S over Transphobia
Another open letter.
This time to M&S.
I donβt have any nostalgic desire to protect this brand. Other undies are available.
And back in the 70s my local store had fuzzy, mustard yellow pillars that gave me static shocks every time I went near them.
Anyone else?

The Height of Misinformation: How a Bra Fitting Became a Culture War
How one routine customer interaction became weaponised β and what it teaches us about countering fear with strategy, not silence.
βThis incident is a case study in how transphobic ideology launders itself into public discourse under the guise of safety and dignityβ - @joannelockwood.bsky.social
Hereβs what the headline shouldβve read: M&S employee offers customer service. Customer projects bias. Media fuels anti-trans panic!

(1) Ann Widdecome has rightly called out Kemi Badenoch. Ann is no ally to the LGBTI community, but correctly defends transitioned trans women against abuse in prison.
Ann clearly knows the situation here, as she used to be Michael Howard's deputy as Home Secretary.

I don't find passing is the key, I do pass 95%, and that is helpful. It's not helpful to others who don't, and I support them. James Whale was very conservative in his views, that upholds sex stereotypes, and harms us all. I disagree with Whale's position

Corbyn is keeping quiet on trans rights because the subject is toxic. If he makes a statement he will be attacked by the media, damaging the new party.
The new party is not going to breakthrough, it can only harm Green & Lib Dem candidates.
GRN/LD is the way forward to defeat the right

He had an old fashioned take on the subject, something that would be welcome today in these toxic times. He understood the subject, but was quite ignorant towards non binary etc.
His views were certainly problematic, but not hostile like today's commentators

James Whale was a big ally of the 'true transsexual' - he was good friends with a trans woman who I will not name. I've met him. He was not my cup of tea at all, but respectful and polite

Most cis people think being trans is something we DO, and therefore that transitionβnames, pronouns, presentation, hormones, surgery, etc.βis something we WANT.
Trans people know being trans is something we ARE, and that transition is something we NEED.
This difference is killing us.

These consultations have not taken on board any trans positive feedback related to trans children's healthcare in the past decade. There have been many of them. Don't waste your time lovely people. Repeatedly hitting ourselves in the face with consultations is an act of self-abuse at this point.
