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?
This of course this is a total lie. However the media and the well meaning will repeat it without question, and this is how the right set the narrative in this country.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 This video proves @EssexPoliceUK transported left-wing protestors to The Bell hotel in Epping. There is no way Chief Constable BJ Harrington can stay in position.
While the media spins that nurse Sandie Peggie should not have to share a changing room with Dr Beth Upton, perhaps it's more relevant to consider if people with prejudices should be employed in the first place.
It must come as a shock to @bphillipsonMP, @EHRC, @EHRCChair, and @10DowningStreet that a country known for its #HumanRightsViolations treats #trans people better there than in the UK.

No surprise here then: "Two in five arrested for last summer’s UK riots had been reported for domestic abuse...... theguardian.com/society/2025/j…
Has anyone researched the roots of British transphobia? It seems to have developed very quickly. April Ashley became a member of OBE in 2012. JKR is a liberal and a generous philanthropist. Her transformation is baffling. She seems to have gone batshit crazy in 2020.
I was at this meeting. The terf on the chair is Venice Allan. Nobody agreed with her.
The state of this. Prominent terf Venice Allan stood on a chair hollering at a group of women that they’re going to get raped, attacked etc by trans women using Hampstead Pond 🙄. Their attempt to ban trans peeps was rejected - by cis women #LetWomenSpeak
I find it offensive for people to have prejudices, to discriminate, and cause hate. See how that works @jk_rowling?
I find it offensive to be pressured into calling him ‘she’. See how that works? It’s his narcissistic injury versus my moral injury, but only one of us is demanding the dismantlement of the other one’s rights.
Hi @jk_rowling, thanks for coming to Trans Pride London today.
Tomorrow, some media outlets will likely publish some offensive images taken at Trans Pride London, but before they do lets remember some other offensive actions. The offensive Cass Report, which denys trans children and youth decent healthcare. The offensive action of…
Eventually, Gary may realise he doesn't speak for women and that spaces belong to service providers, not a sex class. We live in a "live & let live" society and are tolerant of people with differences. The women at Hampstead Heath Ladies Pond understand that: Gary doesn't.
"Shock"? Surely you jest, @PompeySteph. Hong Kong is just continuing to violate human rights by allowing men to abrogate/appropriate the rights of women and girls.
A shout out to my colleagues at Stand Up To Racism (Portsmouth), who stood up to thugs and racists "legally protesting" outside accommodation used to house refugees last night. Refugees are welcome in Portsmouth. Thugs and racists are not.
My problem with Terfs is that they think they represent all women when they clearly dont. They have cost women in the Labour Party their conference and spent many millions of pounds on litigation, which could have helped genuine feminist causes. Oh, and they are bullies.
Yes. I have been mistaken for being trans and I really felt uncomfortable that I had to justify to a total stranger. My fundamental problem with Terfs is that they are just so horrible. Your politics should be judged on how you treat the most vulnerable. My husband is an academic…

Raw, truthful and well said @NNversusNN. Followed.
I find in increasingly disturbing that ‘Feminists’ who fought for women to be allowed choice & agency are regressing back into patriarchal tropes & biological sex based rights. Like the abortion debate the GC position requires an unholy alliance of ideas to keep it structurally…
So you are saying that the British people shouldn't have the rights listed below? #ECHR
Janey, what a star you were. We miss you.
We just felt like posting this today 😊
On May 20, 2025, we heard the news that the Labour Women's Conference was being cancelled due to threats of litigation by the Gender Critical Ideology Movement (GCIM). But what of the cost to feminism and womens human rights? Wanting to reinforce the Supreme Court Judgment…

Three Rape Crisis centres have closed in the past year. Of the remaining centres, a third risk closure – and half are worried they may have to cut counselling services. This is a funding crisis – we urgently need more government funding 📢 Read the report rapecrisis.org.uk/news/more-than…
Reading my Stand Up To Racism WhatsApp chat, it's distressing to see the images of the far-right posts inciting violence and hate. Respect, understanding, and kindness cost nothing.
