Trans Safety Network have analysed the proposed draft @EHRC code of practice. While there are some useful updates, we have identified a concerning shift in priorities and some confusing gaps in guidance.

@AllieHBNews The service under 18s are referred to is CAMHS.
This is the same service trans kids now need to be siphoned through in order to be referred to youth gender services.
One of the reasons ‘gender critical’ transphobes want all referrals to go through CAMHS is to hide the numbers.
@Esqueer_ Oh but MindEd also has "gender exploratory" online training resources (which Dr Tilly Langton significantly contributed to) for "young people with gender questions or distress" for parents, medical and educational professionals too. https://t.co/joip38DfkK
And most are written or at least edited by Dr Tilly Langton who was also involved in the case report and previously been involved in similar conversion therapy "exploratory" NHS training on working with trans young people https://t.co/4XDKZNjlqH
What the fuck at NHS England online training for medical & other professionals supporting "gender questioning" young people is pure conversion therapy/"gender exploratory". Please tell me medical professionals in England haven't used this for over a year?

We are appalled by the outbreaks of racist and fascist violence over the last week across the UK and stand with all those, especially who have been affected by it and with those defending and rebuilding community spaces amidst racist attacks or engaging in care.

Gender Critical women have instigated a hate campaign against a woman athlete because she does not fit their conservative and racist definition of ‘womanhood’. This has of course been taken up and amplified by the most racist and misogynistic men. It is beyond disgusting.
BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨
Women’s 100 meter runners told to slow down towards the end and let the white athletes catch up incase JK Rowling calls them men and starts an international witch hunt.
The judge has now given her ruling in the legal challenge against the puberty blocker ban. She has ruled that the ex Secretary of State did not ban blockers unlawfully. We are taking advice about the next steps in challenging the ban.

Some are angry about the "anti-Christian depiction of the last supper" at the Olympic Opening ceremony. (@elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump among others)
A Dutch art historian explains it's not the last supper but a Dutch painting of the Olympic gods.
And I explain what I loved.

Because the refugees are concentrated, and areas where they go tend to show a decrease in support for the far right or discriminatory attitudes among the native population. So people worry about immigrants who aren't in their area, but the people mixing with them find them chill.
@Sabcat9@speakoutsister Transphobes: demonise each and every gender affirming medical treatment
Also transphobes: demonise trans people who don’t rush headlong into every gender affirming medical treatment
@MrChrisChopping@speakoutsister And then transphobes be like why on earth are the majority of trans people also mentally ill, can't be anything at all to do with transphobes demonising whatever we do or could potentially do...
@speakoutsister@MrChrisChopping If they really wanted less surgery-related regret they would accept and affirm trans bodies and choices in whatever shape they take.
It's entirely wrong to demand that trans people have genital surgery to fit your idea of "normal". It's major surgery, not everyone wants it, not everyone can get it.
Some women have penises get over it. Other people's genitals are not your business.
Did you notice the way gay man Wes Streeting is in power to oppose the lgbtq+ community, and Angela Rayner, the working class single mum is defending the 2-child benefit cap?
There's something very Bojo about that, and individually... shamelessly two-faced and morally corrupt.
