Back when I was at art school, I used to label my sketch books Glib, I thought it was funny to call my ideas "glib" the opposite of the pompous attitudes prevalent at design courses in the 80's. Now I'm working on a new site I thought I resurrect Glib Design...

We have been advised that β€˜Gender Critical’ NHS staff have been trying to locate some trans people by searching the NHS computer systems.

We ask everyone worried they may have been targeted, to make a Subject Access Request to learn who has searched your record.

This afternoon our friend Frankie, vocalist of the band Phat Problem, was arrested at the Trans Pride Brighton protest march for allegedly wearing a Palestine Action t-shirt. Fighting for free speech is more important now than ever. Free Frankie. πŸ˜”

When I DM’d Kate Nash on Instagram I did not expect this!

Thank you.Thank you.

A random older woman shouted "Cow" at me as I cycled past her car, which was stuck in traffic. We had a previous interaction when she'd pulled out in front of me from a side road. Cow is such a school yard insult, but as a transwoman I appreciate gender affirming insults...

Sharing Kate Nash’s fantastic new song GERM, has put me in FB jail for 24 hours!

So now I’m nervous to share it here, it’s kinda racy! But the content is an amazing act of allyship with the Trans community β€οΈπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

Twelfth Night to be transformed by non-binary performances
The Daily Telegraph29 May 2025By Craig Simpson ARTS EDITOR

Sir Ian Mckellen’s show will feature non-binary or transgender performers
SIR IAN MCKELLEN will support an all-transgender and non-binary version of Twelfth Night.

The actor, 86, will introduce the onenight-only performance at the Space Theatre in London.

It will consist of a reading of the play conducted entirely by those who identify as non-binary or transgender.

The play will also be directed by Phoebe Kemp, who prefers they/them pronouns, in a new London production.

The production will also include a trigger warning alerting viewers to the fact that the comedy contains β€œShakespearean humour”.

Kemp said: β€œTwelfth Night already toys with gender and performance – it feels like Shakespeare wrote it for us. This reading is about joy, solidarity and showing what’s possible when trans and non-binary artists are at the centre of the story.”

The performance will take place on July 25, on the eve of a scheduled Trans Pride march through London. The production will be the first staged by theatre company Trans What You Will, which is β€œin the business of putting on Shakespeare with trans and non-binary per

formers”. The company has stated: β€œWe believe in the importance, now more than ever, to provide opportunities for those under the trans umbrella to come together and make us laugh and cry and show the world how precious and wonderful gender diversity can be.” #TransAgendaClips

Neither of these "experts" is neutral, one of them is notorious for links to what patients have called abusive conversion therapy.

Our view is that organisations can (indeed, should) continue to offer single sex toilets for all women - cis and trans.

We think it would be best for them to say this explicitly. See πŸ‘‡ goodlawproject.org/resource/tra...

So, having not really paid close attention, are you all telling me that most of the seats Reform won came from the Tories, while most that Labour lost went to the Lib Dems & Greens, and, as a result, Labour are going to get even tougher on migration to chase Reform?

Almost like it's a choice.

And Labour failed to replace her, she’s causing as much damage to trans rights as possible before her time is up! The EHCR β€œguidance” is politically motivated and bathroom bans were always the goal!

Support us | Good Law Project We can only keep fighting thanks to individual donations. Our people-powered model keeps us fiercely independent, so we can hold power to account.

I can't stress enough how important regular monthly donations are to Good Law Project's ability to take the fight to billionaires - and our amoral Government.

If you want to help your trans friends or family members please set up a regular monthly donation. goodlawproject.org/donate/

How are you supposed to get a gender recognition certificate, which requires you to have lived in your acquired gender, now the Supreme Court has said you are not allowed to live in your acquired gender?

I'm going to ignore the EHRC obviously but the one that scares me is work. My employer has got huge power over me now

Other employers aren't going to be rushing to give us jobs either, not now that the EHRC has said that workplaces only need to build extra toilets/changing rooms if they employ us

Government bans gender-neutral toilets in all new public buildings The government is banning gender-neutral toilets in all new non-domestic public and private buildings, under new legislation

I heard a suggestion that trans rights organisations should be campaigning for gender neutral toilets but people are forgetting the previous government banded them.
