The WI and Girlguiding have been pressured to exclude trans women – yet the law is clear as mud | Jess O’Thomson Since the supreme court decision, organisations have faced lobbying and legal threats. But trans people are protected by discrimination law too, says Jess O’Thomson of the Good Law Project

‘Organisations that value trans people should know not just that the law is on their side – but so, also, are many people who will step up to defend them if they have the courage to take a stand.’
- Jess O’Thomson of the Good Law Project.

Beneath a post on Threads where I’ve written ‘I don’t feel as someone living with HIV that I am lesser than other people’ someone has responded ‘Only gay monkey have aids (sic)’. 
I’ve obscured their picture and user name, to deprive them of the attention that they crave.
