Trans people are people: We are doctors, nurses and teachers. We are lawyers, airline pilots and scientists. We are designers, artists and poets. Invariably, you dont know we are trans - yet some want to persecute us for living as our true selves?

Hi @MForstater, would you like to explain precisely how you know what Stonewall has or has not done? Can we assume people inside @EHRC have informed you?

This is the fourth time the usual suspects have tried to bully the national equality regulator by co-ordinating complaints about it to the UN. At least Stonewall has recognised that it is embarrassing behaviour by now and have left the pack.

📢 the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions’ Sub-Committee on Accreditation has decided *not* to review @EHRC's "A Status" ❌ Several requests for the review were made because of EHRC's response to the @UKSupremeCourt decision in @ForWomenScot

Do you know how few detransitioners there are in the UK? Less than 3 in 200 trans people regret aspects of their transition The number who actually commence any gender reassignment cross sex hormone treatment or surgery & then detransition is so small, you won’t find them

@Telegraph According to the report: - "Significant voices” were too often missing from the BBC's coverage, including those who had transitioned and regretted their decision or those who had concerns about the process.

Google's Gemini tells me that for every one trans woman, there are five hundred and ninety-two women who identify as per their sex at birth. Yet, somehow, we are seen as a "problem" in womens sports, prisons & refuges. The lies of the gender-critical movement have no bounds.

Thank you, Megan, and all those other women saying "NO" to transphobia and "YES" to the inclusion of trans people.

Untrue @sharrond62. The SCJ decimated the lives of trans people - and it certainly changed the law for those who have Gender Recognition Certificates; and you post the word "ignorance"?

‘Transgender guidance must not be hurried says Baroness Smith | Malvern Gazette’The wilful deliberate ignorance of the law by those treating women’s spaces & sports as unimportant is mind boggling. The law was clarified in April 2025 not changed or altered

@VictoriaCoren It shows how radicalised Graham Linehan is that he even thinks that any sensibe BBC presenter would wade into this topic to give their opinion. He's become a weird, obsessive creep and he needs help if he thinks contestants on a quiz show are legitimate targets for his hatred.

Dear @ClaireCoutinho From tomorrow to Sunday, I will be spending my time with about twenty amazing s!sgender women in huts, located in southern England. We all volunteer for the same womens health charity. I'm a trans woman; however, you allege that they need to be kept "safe."

Pretty, rich when a @Telegraph journalist kicks off about LGBT coverage at the BBC, given they work for a newspaper that promotes a massive culture war against trans people and prints lies upon lies in their quest to make trans lives as difficult as possible.

All the toxicity regarding the "sex and gender" debate stems from one simple fact. The gender-critical ideology movement is simply incapable of accepting that trans people exist, are an EA protected characteristic and have human rights in particular, ECHR Article 8.

All I ever wanted was to be comfortable in my own skin and I’ve never harmed anyone and I’m not some sort of monster and me and people like me shouldn’t be scapegoated or demonised.

The new rise of Christian Nationalism in the UK – a movement opposing women’s rights, freedom of religion or belief, immigration, same-sex marriage, abortion, and LGBT rights – is NOT representative of the vast majority of the UK, NatCen’s research confirms.

Let's remember who is responsible for this awful mess - those in the hateful gender-critical ideology movement. S!S women say NO! "Several winners of the 'Cycling UK 100 Women' prize decline the award due to the exclusion of trans women". https://t.co/UKoR8tE5TZ

Cycling UK say the decision was made following legal advice but that the rule change "doesn't alter our commitment to transgender and non-binary people"

Hi @michaelpforan Your blog post (Myths about For Women Scotland v The Scottish Ministers) paints a dangerously simplified picture of how this judgment impacts the trans community, especially those of us (like me) who hold a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC). Society and,

An arrogant, entitled "journalist" making unproven assumptions. Rose says she was accepted and supported by other female staff. And then came along those "Christians" offering financial "support." I think we have heard similar stories before, with gay people being victims.

No, @legalfeminist, the sign is perfectly legal, informing users it's an inclusive space. One way to overcome the mess the gender-critical movement has put this country in is simply to add five words in front of a sign. "For people who identify as" Sorted!

One year ago, my city became the first in the UK to officially adopt a definition of transphobia. One year on, the definition remains unchanged, and it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Last week I met @breastcancernow in parliament to celebrate #WearItPink. Shocked to learn from them the NHS does not collect detailed data on people with incurable breast cancer. Without that data how can they assess what treatments and support work best? I'll be writing to
