Trans folks, how many cis people, that you consider friends in the real world, have reached out to ask if you're OK over the last five years?

For me, despite them mostly being queer people or family, that number is zero.

There's roughly 5 minutes before Trans Pride Birmingham begins, and so far roughly a few dozen people have turned up.

Burnham is the most transphobic Prime Minister ever.

He is also the most cowardly. He will never do anything other than harm trans people, along with other marginalized groups like immigrants, refugees and disabled people.

Labour is suppressing a report on ecosystem collapse.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is campaigning to have it released.

Why is Labour treating this document like Trump is treating the Epstein Files?

We’re asking our supporters across the UK to write to the Chief Commissioner of NHS Wales ahead of Tuesday, to demand that surgery is reinstated immediately while the investigation goes ahead, and to issue a formal apology for making such an irresponsible decision.

1/🧵 From the agenda for next week’s meeting at NHS Wales. But we can assume the arbitrary decision to “pause” referrals was made on a summary of the same information.

And, after a month, there is still nothing of substance that can be presented.

Sorry, but people should lose their job for this.
The WGS decision was apparently made on the basis of the Welsh Vs English whole population figures, not the number of patients seen in the clinic. This is absolutely ridiculous, serious medical decisions should not be made like this. It's not an appropriate comparison!

As of May 2026, Police Scotland now ask every person who reports or witnesses a crime for data about their “sex” and their “trans status”.

These questions are voluntary - you are not legally required to disclose your sex or your trans status to the police when reporting or witnessing a crime.

We're in a film that needs your support! It's called TERF Island.

A couple years ago we were asked by JJ to be shadowed and sit down for some discussion with the amazing Olivia from Trans Legal Clinic, Shiv, and Jazmeen Qureshi.

Please give anything you can!

Keep signing & sharing - I know petitions don't fix everything but we need to use all the tools we have to address this

This article highlights the 'postcode lottery' - uneven impact - of these new transphobic policies. That was the case for S28 also. It's uneven because some are finding the agency to push back. We all have a responsibility to do this in the spheres in which we have leverage and influence.

1/Emily‘s funding for her gender affirming care ran out when she was 18 but she still has another year of college to go so for another year I am financially and emotionally responsible for her. Hence why I am selling anything and everything that isn’t essential to me some items I really care about.

Thank you so much to the hundreds of trans people and allies who joined today's mass lobby! The queue stretched across both sides of the road outside Parliament, and so many MPs participated in meetings and responded to green cards.

Together, we delivered a powerful message for change 🏳️‍⚧️
