Things do not have to be this way.

It’s a political choice, in the hope we go away quietly.

Will you join us in showing up to demand better?

Mass Lobby for Trans Equality - 9th September 2026
The law around trans equality is fundamentally broken. Government inaction is hanging trans people and organisations out to dry - with a confusing mess of challenging rules and lawfare.

@translucent.org.uk have recently released their latest report.

"Sixty-one of the sixty-two Unitary Authorities responded to our FOI request – Only ONE complaint was found."

Trans inclusion is a non-issue. It is a manufactured moral panic, which is an anti-rights tactic.

Today is 5 August 2026, a day of shame for the UK and the UK Labour Party in particular.

This is the day the UK government brings into force the UK Equality and Human Rights Commission’s new guidance on the provision of services.

The EHRC Code of Practice, which we believe is unlawful, comes into force in just over 9 days' time, and we are seeking a Judicial Review to support the trans community.

Say "NO" to segregation and possibly being "outed" - please donate and share this post.

As my starting point, I'm using @parkermolloy.com's recent piece on Dylan Mulvaney and a report by @translucent.org.uk on years of FOI requests showing how few complaints there have been in the UK over trans women using women's facilities.

17,000 Anti-trans articles over the last 5 years. This is the reality of a distorted media reporting landscape.

Thats the total published by only 4 news outlets in the UK, the problem is indeed greater than just those four publications.
