Thank you for trying at least.

We need to win big on May 7.

Thousands of Green candidates are standing across England and Wales.

This is a real chance to change politics - to give communities a stronger voice and challenge parties backed by big money.

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.

The art made me chuckle, thank you! 💚

Oh, come now, the Vogons are kind of cute compared to that twat. The dirty money bag is full of more slime than Slimer and so ghoulish his face should probably be behind age verification.

Trans people will resist transphobic ideologues forever more. They can go on waisting tax payers money (and their own) or just accept that trans people will continue to use single-sex spaces based on their gender. No amount of legal tantrums, coercion or gaslighting will change that. Fact!

We've now raised £50,000.

Anything you can spare, will go towards challenging this Labour Government and taking the fight to Reform.

And most importantly - to creating the hopeful alternative.

The Chair Equality and Human Rights Commission Arndale House, Manchester 17 April 2026 Re: The Effectiveness of the Equality Act and “Bathroom Bounty Law” Dear Mary-Ann Stephenson, As a trans business owner, I took legal action against your predecessor in office. I write to draw your attention to your statutory duties as Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Under the Equality Act 2006, the Commission must monitor the effectiveness of the equality and human rights legislation. You must exercise this function with a view to encouraging and supporting the development of a society in which there is mutual respect between persons who share a common attribute in respect of gender based on understanding and valuing of diversity and on shared respect for equality and human rights. Some campaign groups propose that the Equality Act 2010 gives rise to a public policy position colloquially known as a “bathroom bounty law”, whereby a trans person’s choice of gendered facilities is limited on the basis of a mere technicality without objective justification. This is in addition to these groups’ demand for the “policing” of gendered facilities. A “bathroom bounty law” represents a significant state interference with the rights of trans people and the freedoms of business owners and charities, and is incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights. It engages the United Kingdom’s negative obligations under Articles 1, 8 and 14+11, as it involves a sanction against inclusive practices. Accordingly, there is virtually no margin of appreciation for a “bathroom bounty law”.

In my view, Convention rights preclude any legal theories suggesting that trans-inclusive practices could be considered direct or indirect discrimination, harassment, or any other contravention under the Equality Act 2010, or be found to be unlawful under the principles of public and administrative law. This is unlikely to be fact sensitive. I am concerned that the Commission may be misguided in its position, given that your defence in Good Law Project & Ors, R (on the application of) v EHRC [2026] EWHC 279 (Admin) bears a close resemblance to the proposal of a “bathroom bounty law”. One would expect counsel to have professionally advised you on any areas where the equality and human rights legislation might be ineffective. I look forward to receiving your response and understanding how the Commission intends to address these concerns to ensure that the Equality Act 2010 is not misinterpreted to the detriment of trans people. Yours sincerely, Ashley Lee

Today, I sent an open letter to the Equality and Human Rights Commission. A “bathroom bounty law” that limits trans people’s choice of gendered facilities is a clear breach of human rights law. Read it here:

Text: "To standardscommissioner@parliament.uk <standardscommissioner@parliament.uk> Dear Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, We are writing to make a formal complaint about remarks made by Suella Braverman MP concerning Steph Richards, a trans woman and Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) holder, in relation to her role with Endometriosis South Coast. In public statements and on social media, Ms Braverman repeatedly referred to Ms Richards as “a man”, described her appointment as “regressive”, and claimed it “erases women” and is “insulting and inappropriate” for her to speak on endometriosis. These comments were not incidental; they involved the deliberate and repeated mischaracterisation of Ms Richards’ legal sex and identity in a manner that was hostile and demeaning.... Under the Gender Recognition Act 2004, a person who holds a full GRC is, 'for all purposes', recognised in their acquired gender. In Ms Richards’ case, she is legally recognised as a woman, and her sex is female in law. The repeated public description of her as “a man” is therefore not simply a matter of opinion or debate, but a denial of her legal status.... In addition, Ms Richards is protected under the Equality Act 2010 by the characteristic of gender reassignment. The Act protects from discrimination and harassment, including conduct that has the purpose or effect of violating a person’s dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment. Public statements by a senior MP that single out a named trans woman, deny her legal status, and frame her participation as inherently inappropriate are reasonably understood to meet that threshold."

Text: "...The House of Commons Code of Conduct states that “Members have a duty to uphold the law, including the general law against discrimination”, it also requires Members to treat others with “dignity, courtesy and respect”, and that they “shall never undertake any action which would cause significant damage to the reputation and integrity of the House of Commons as a whole, or of its Members generally”. Publicly singling out a legally recognised woman and subjecting her to this form of treatment falls well below those standards, particularly given the wider impact such comments have in legitimising hostility towards trans people. The inconsistency of Ms Braverman’s position further underlines the discriminatory nature of the remarks. Men hold roles within organisations such as Breast Cancer UK, and Endometriosis UK itself includes male staff, without comparable objection. Similarly, a woman serves as Chief Executive of Prostate Cancer UK without controversy, despite not sharing the relevant anatomy. If Ms Braverman holds the belief that Ms Richards is a “man”, then the fact that she has singled her out while overlooking other cisgender men in comparable roles demonstrates that this criticism is not applied consistently, but is instead directed specifically at a trans woman, solely because she is transgender. Taken together, these remarks appear to constitute a misuse of Ms Braverman’s public platform to promote discriminatory and demeaning treatment of a protected group and to undermine the dignity of a named individual. We therefore ask that you investigate whether Ms Braverman’s conduct breaches the House of Commons Code of Conduct, including its requirements to uphold the law, treat individuals with respect, and maintain the reputation of the House. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and advise if any further information is required. Yours faithfully, Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective"

We have raised a formal complaint with the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards regarding discriminatory remarks by Suella Braverman MP, about Steph Richards stepping down from Endometriosis South Coast.

You might prefer Green to Red. The red of Labour stands for blood, the blood of trans kids. Labour leadership is just the greediest, vilest bags of dirty money. I wouldn't even call them people any longer.

A year under attack – and a year fighting back Jess O’Thomson and Jolyon Maugham reflect on what has happened in the year since the Supreme Court’s judgment, and how the trans community has courageously fought back

It's a year today since the Supreme Court decision on the meaning of "sex" under the Equality Act 2010.

Jolyon Maugham and I have written a reflective piece with our thoughts on the judgment, everything that has happened since, and why it's so important that we are still fighting - together 👇

Over 100,000 women stand with the trans community and say 'Not in Our Name'.

Will you join them?

A Government of lies and u-turns. And a failure to end rip off Britain.

In May millions of people have a chance to vote for something better. Hope and a plan.

Trans people in Britain live in 'fear and exclusion' after Supreme Court ruling One year on from the Supreme Court ruling and EHRC guidance, trans people report rising fear, workplace segregation and confusion - alongside growing allyship and community resilience.

Today we mark the anniversary of the SC ruling on the legal definition of man and woman in the EA2010, and what happens when cis women, whose voices have been co-opted and weaponised against the trans+ community finally get handed the microphone.

Peter Mandelson failed his Government security vetting.

Starmer appointed him as ambassador to the US anyway.

No more buck passing, no more mysteriously vanishing mobile phones, we need the truth.

Starmer must go.

This is HUGE!

100,000 women have now signed the @nionwomen.bsky.social petition.

It means conclusively that “gender-critical” transphobes, dishonest politicians, like Streeting and journalists claim that there is a “conflict of rights” between cis women and trans people they are lying.

End of.

Force the government to rip up the EHRC’s transphobic guidance It’s been a year since the Supreme Court's decision that accelerated the rollback of trans rights in the UK. It’s been a difficult year, but it’s also been a year of coming together and fighting…

The government was forced to admit the EHRC’s transphobic draft guidance got it wrong, and they’ve had to send it back to the drawing board.

But the fight is far from over. They plan to bring an updated version back to parliament in May. So we need to act – fast 👇
