Last year, nearly 30 feminist organizations & feminist studies academic communities from the Nordic countries came together to issue a statement in support of an inclusive feminism – and called for confronting transphobia.
We were, in part, inspired by NION's statement.
In the UK today the de facto position is that you can be subsidized by the taxpayer, through charitable tax relief, to campaign for the pathologisation and elimination of a group nominally protected by the Equality Act, but not for its protection.

A big thank you to Hannah Spencer MP for signing our letter and standing in clear support of the trans+ community.
Like Hannah, many women from across the political spectrum have joined the 101,000+ UK women who have already signed our letter - Women in support of the trans+ community.
Just a reminder—this is tomorrow evening! Please bring yourselves and your questions.
• Delivering single-sex spaces on the basis of biological sex, in NHS wards, schools, sport and everyday life by upholding the Equality Act and delivering clear instructions to public services on how to comply with their legal obligations to women and to trans people. • Keeping women's prisons for women, instructing the Scottish Prison Service to remove all biologically male prisoners from women's prisons within days of the election. • Recommit the NHS to delivering single sex wards on the basis of biological sex, and ensuring patients can request same sex provision wherever possible.

The writing is on the wall. The UK is going to attempt to ban hormones for trans adults. This is just one of the steps they're taking to limit access slowly.

What we're seeing in the UK is an attempt by the entirety of British society and government to engage in the social murder of its trans population and push them entirely out of society.

It was a total mission to get here by train last weekend thanks to the fine work of DB. Hoping the way back is not so bad.

What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚
Cathy Newman @cathynewman BREAKING on @TimesRadio : we’ve unearthed social media posts by a senior officer at the MHRA, the regulator overseeing the puberty blockers trial. 4:49 PM · Feb 27, 2026 · 39.2K Views Relevant View quotes Replying to @cathynewman and @TimesRadio No file chosen Cathy Newman @cathynewman · 1h Posts expressing gender critical views and mocking trans supporters appeared on the X account of Prof Jacob George, MHRA’s chief medical and scientific officer, who was only appointed last month Cathy Newman @cathynewman · 1h His account has now been deleted and the MHRA told us the Prof had been recused from the trial. Stay tuned…
No one will be shocked that overtly anti-trans officials have been appointed to the MHRA puberty blockers trial.
What is shocking is actual journalism being done to uncover them, and that when uncovered they've been removed.
An important step in the right direction.
Watch this space.
Instead, I suspect that, in 2-3 years time, once the Daily Mail says something, they will be espousing this for the UK. It’s utterly dreadful. Our US (and particularly Kansas dwelling) siblings have my heartfelt sympathy.
In the Holocaust, Jews faced a continuing series of laws forbidding them to do certain activities & occupations. The goal was to remove them from society. The US is now doing this to trans ppl. Generally, once one State brings in such laws, others follow.

“We need more cycle tracks, junction redesigns, crossings, routes through LTNs and more besides if we want more Londoners to switch cars for cycling."

This is a truly magnificent map:
… be jailed than, for instance, a member of the British police & are underrepresented in the prison system by a factor of about half.
Extremists always like to present the vulnerable & minorities in society as the problem. They need to take a look in their mirrors!
