Back in Feb, I organised an event with @UoNHRLC to explore key challenges, opportunities & strategies for advancing trans rights, amid the rise of anti-gender movements globally. Huge thanks to the wonderful speakers who joined us! Event recording here:

We stand with the Hongkonger community and everyone affected by the Government’s proposed changes to the BN(O) settlement route. These changes risk undermining fairness, stability, and the commitments made to families who have built their lives in Bassetlaw and across the UK /1

So Iqbal has gone full mask off and is now directly allying himself with Rosie Duffield & Rupert Lowe to prevent trans children from accessing healthcare. Championing cruel & discriminatory policies to spite trans people, alongside members of Reform, the DUP & the Tories...

The image used in this article is of Luca Kumahara, a 3-time Olympian who has won multiple table tennis competitions. Of course, what isn't stated is that Luca is a trans man, who will rightly be able to continue playing his sport in the men's category under these new rules.

The experience of being a trans woman in the UK is waking up each day to see which sport (or service/org) you've been newly banned from. We're so deep into a trans panic in this country that it doesn't seem to matter whether these bans are backed by any evidence (they are not).

The "compromise" is that trans women are now banned from attending anything that isn't a fringe event at the Labour Women's Conference. This is nothing besides complete capitulation to transphobes & bigots. A government of cowards & a party of needless, performative cruelty.

Two years ago today, I was crying on the floor of my bathroom as I took my first dose of estrogen. Now I have C cups. Life comes at you fast. Happy tranniversary to me!

Update: the motion proposed by Reform, which sought to ban trans women from women's spaces, was ruled out of order because the councillor who had seconded the motion could not be bothered to show up to the meeting...

The current leadership of Your Party has been irreconcilably captured by transphobes, at this point. A chair silencing a trans member in this way is completely embarrassing for a party that claims to put equality at the heart of its (yet undecided) policies.

Gender dysphoria has a well recognised treatement pathway which has 110+ years of medical science behind it. Gender critics advocate for child suffering and cruelty by denying this pathway to innocent trans children for the sake of their own personal beliefs.

Insisting that you're not transphobic before going on to make a bunch of deeply & violently transphobic statements is an interesting tactic. Just because ChatGPT says you're not a bigot, doesn't make it so.

It turns out the "Change" that Starmer was promising during the 2024 election was the laundering of Rishi Sunak's legacy through his own staggering incompetence.

Some delayed vindication for Rishi Sunak? Britons are now more likely to say that Sunak was *closer* to telling the truth on the economy before last year's General Election than Keir Starmer. That includes 28% of those who voted Labour in the election.

It's actually disgusting to compare access to life-saving medical treatment to buying alcohol or cigarettes. Hilarious that this man has spent the past week repeatedly asserting that the claims that he is transphobic are unfounded...

In the UK, - Children rightly cannot lawfully buy cigarettes. - Children rightly cannot lawfully buy alcohol. - So why can children lawfully be given experimental/irreversible chemicals/drugs by the NHS to stop their bodies developing naturally? PLEASE STOP THIS.

@ToryFibs @iqbalmohamedMP Iqbal suggested that trans women should not be allowed in women's spaces & categorised trans women as "biological men". Are you able to explain why you think this isn't transphobic?
