Because we’re not taking this sitting down. Providing information & tools for the transgender community and their allies to campaign for truth & trans equality

Transphobia in the form of misleading, derogatory and dehumanising representation has become commonplace in the media

Alert brands that advertise on such platforms and politely ask them if they want to advertise on channels promoting anti-trans hate? ⤵️

We currently do not have a clear, evidence based definition and standard for classifying anti-trans hate groups. We have initiated an open consultation with a view to filling this gap.

For the first month, we will establish acceptance criteria.

While it might often feel futile, it’s worth reporting tweets and accounts that actively break @twitter terms of service.

Accounts that spread transphobia, often break the rules in other ways too - these can be reported also.

America is now in fascism’s legal phase, writes @jasonintrator

And because so much funding and ideological influence comes to the UK from the far right Trump supporting think tanks, the same is true here

You can email your MP or local politician directly, or send them a message via the link below👇🏻

For even greater impact, you can send a letter through the post.

Keep it polite, friendly, and state that you are voter in their constituency.

The @Commonswomequ inquiry into the GRA consultation and trans healthcare has provided a list of concrete actions that the Government needs to take to improve trans lives.

After Christmas, contact your MP and ask for their support in implementing them.

[The Trans Lobby @TheTransLobby]

When contacting your MP to ask for support in implementing recommendations made by @Commonswomequ on GRA reform & trans healthcare, it’s worthwhile linking to supportive national news articles.

This helps summarise the points and shows national interest.

I missed #LoveYourGender Day, so it seems like a good day to say that I think everyone should have the right to be who they are without medicalisation, intrusion, or discrimination. I’m a straight cis woman - that’s fine, but it’s not the only kind of woman. #CisWithTheT
