"We're speechless" Exclusive: A leaked government document has exposed transphobic draft policies for UK civil servants. The new rules will block most trans staff from using single-sex spaces such as toilets, and force staff to accept anti-trans views. vice.com/en/article/3ak…

English can be very gendered, and this can mean that we sometimes use language that can make non-binary people feel excluded or unwelcome, even when we don’t mean to. Below are some examples of easy ways that you can use language that includes everyone. #NonBinaryAwarenessWeek

After successfully intimidating @Oxfam @BritishLibrary and others to withdraw support for trans people, the GC movement are now trying to bully the NHS into allowing patients to refuse treatment by anyone who’s trans. Imagine if that was Black or Gay. nhsconfed.org/publications/l…

Whatever the facts about suicide, the truth is I have lost two trans friends, and I know I'm not alone. Many gender-critical groups are partly responsible for the dramatic increase in trans hate crime and by association, suicide. This tweet by @SexMattersOrg disgusts me.

Raising suicide threats as a response to legitimate debate about legislation, as Kirsty Blackman MP did in yesterday’s Westminster Hall debate, is neither respectful nor responsible. We explain why. sex-matters.org/posts/updates/…
