The EU Court of Justice has ruled that France's national railway company cannot require passengers to select 'Mr' or 'Ms' when purchasing a ticket.
The ruling means organisations in the EU can no longer collect gender markers when the information is unnecessary www.ilga-europe.org/news/joint-s...
This has just come through from TGEU;
"Today, the European Court of Justice ruled it’s unlawful for a railway company to collect a customer’s gender marker as this personal data is unnecessary when buying a train ticket & it could lead to discrimination because of a person’s gender identity."

A thread of all 🇬🇧 Labour politicians who have spoken out against Wes Streeting’s barbaric culture war:
Short letter to Irish Times, detailing the grief felt by the letter writer at Christmas, after the loss of his wife.
What a letter.
We should be just as hostile to Keir Starmer as gays were to Thatcher.
Our community has dealt with politicians like this before and we won. The blueprint is already there for us to win again.
The festive sight of supermarket employees, forced to wear santa hats, trying to remove two shouting people from the shop while the people grab clementines from the Christmas display to throw at each other. Solidarity with all retail workers, particularly at this time of year.
Congratulations on getting your book to print. It can’t have been easy but I’m definitely going to read it.
There's a bizarre and ongoing mainstream effort to launder RFK Jr into someone who just wants to get Americans eating nutritious food and exercising again but that is not evidenced anywhere in his public statements or career in public life.
He is a liar and conspiracist.
Oh wow, didn’t see this one coming. The Chair of the Commission on Human Medicines, who just so happens to have rubber-stamped the permanent ban on puberty blockers, was also conveniently sitting on the NHS England Quality & Innovation committee that picked Hilary Cass. Total coincidence, I’m sure.
Copy of Caroline’s email sent to the Tavistock and Portman NHS foundation trust, asking if Alice Litman‘s data was sent to the DHSC for Prof Appleby to review.
Reply from head of data at the Tavistock Portman NHS foundation trust, saying Alice‘s data was not included in the audit.
BREAKING
On the day the UK government announces a permanent puberty blocker ban I learn:
ALICE’S DATA WAS NOT INCLUDED in data sent to Appleby to assess for his rushed DHSC report, that dismissed whistleblower claims of increased suicides in trans youth since Bell.
The report is a proven sham.
It's nice to post positive news and I'm going to make a concious effort to find and post more positive stories.
Sunday Mail front page: Starmer declares war on benefits Britain
Just incredibly bleak that when a Labour government is finally in power, disabled people still have to wake up to front pages calling them a blight on society.
👋🏻 Lack of private accounts is a real downside to this platform. I hope it’s resolved soon. Also, I love #HumanNotPD. Can I use it?
- Govt.: Don’t talk about suicide and trans youth! There is no risk! Your concerns are unfounded exaggerations!
- Trans folk & allies request data
- Govt.: Don’t talk about suicide and trans youth! The data are too dangerous to publish! You’re putting vulnerable youth at risk!
Cynical silencing.
