This article by @sasha98.bsky.social is a great example of high quality journalism produced by a well-informed, professional & intelligent human journalist, as opposed to AI &/or ill-informed mainstream media hacks with agendas.
IMO AI has lots of A & not much I.
I prefer my journalism with HI.
In 1996, a trans woman won a crucial legal right for Trans+ people in the workplace.

A London street scene with buildings and a red double-decker bus. Overlaid text reads: “JOIN 10K READERS NEW LIMITED LONG READ SERIES, ONLY AVAILABLE WITH THE QUEERAF NEWSLETTER WEAREQUEERAF.COM/MILESTONES APRIL 8TH, 2PM GMT” A phone screen shows an article with the headline: “Workplace rights for British Trans+ people were once better than people thought. Not any more” By Ludovic Parsons · 10 Mar 2026
A raft of ‘gender critical’ employment tribunals, growing confusion for employers, and court rulings that have made Trans+ rights even less clear.
How did we get here?

Poster-style image with a blurred prison corridor background. Large white text reads: “COME OUT BEFORE YOU KISS” Below in smaller text: “HOW TRANS+ PANIC SNUCK ITS WAY INTO UK LAW BOOKS” At the bottom is a signpost graphic labeled “MILE STONES” with directional signs.
“Deception as to sex” has the same impact as a Trans+ Panic clause – and has embedded transphobia into the law
In the next edition of Milestones, @sasha98.bsky.social traces the history behind it and why it matters today

With a wave of “gender critical” cases against Trans+ rights in recent years has received extensive coverage.
But this comprehensive – though not especially accurate – coverage is not consistent: pro-trans cases are almost never covered to the same extent.
✍️ @ludovicparsons.bsky.social
Efforts to narrow the definition of womanhood, police people’s gender expression, and reduce people to their biology don't protect women - they harm us.
Attacks on trans rights should never be done in our name. We must stand in solidarity with our trans siblings.
To understand the current media obsession with Trans+ people, often routed through its coverage of legal cases, we must look back at the past 👇

Trans people of all ages exist, and always have.* They have every right to thrive in life just as their cisgender friends, family members, and colleagues do. Providing healthcare is part of that.
* #TransHistoryWeek reading from @wearequeeraf.com at www.wearequeeraf.com/transhistory...
Trans people are so often excluded from decisions made about them. I am concerned the puberty blockers trial has been paused not for clinical reasons, nor because govt listened to trans people's constructive concerns about how it will be run, but as a political decision...
