GREAT nomination & well deserved too!
The 'draft dodger' currently in the Oval
Office probably won't be pleased with
Zelensky's @NobelPrize nomination? 🤷♀️
So, please do NOT share, got it? 😉

22 years ago, the European Court of Human Rights delivered a landmark ruling that changed the lives of transgender people across the UK forever.
On July 11, 2002, the court ruled unanimously in favour of Christine Goodwin, a British trans woman who had faced severe workplace harassment, issues with her National Insurance contributions, and was denied the right to marry in her acquired gender.
This archival footage captures the moment that reshaped trans rights in Britain.
Trans women have been using the ladies loos for two decades in the UK. There is NO evidence to suggest women are at a greater risk because of it. This is a made-up problem caused by some rich bigots. Excluding trans peoples from single sex spaces will not make c!s women safer.
Support for people on low incomes to pay water bills is unfair and inconsistent, forcing many to make impossible choices to make ends meet. I've signed the petition from @IndependentAge calling for a national social tariff for water. Join me! https://t.co/q8LXJaiYCO

Corporate vet chains hiked prices by 63%, forcing owners into debt to save their pets. 💔

The law is clear. You cannot discriminate.
Trans people exist. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Non-binary people deserve rights too.
Start there, and everything else follows. https://t.co/odsOkVIXWw
Trans people are people:
We are doctors, nurses and teachers.
We are lawyers, airline pilots and scientists.
We are designers, artists and poets.
Invariably, you dont know we are trans - yet some want to persecute us for living as our true selves?
TransLucent Resignation Statement: Seeking to take the Labour Party to court.
Some 6+ years ago, I started a personal blog, which led to a group of campaigners, which in turn led to an organisation we now know as TransLucent. It’s been an amazing journey for me as a founder and CEO. Still, in life, things change, and chapters end.
In December 2025, the Labour Party discriminated against me by barring me from a space where I was once welcome - the National Women’s Conference.
The Party claims that this is due to the Supreme Court judgment (FWS v SGM). I believe the Labour Party has been badly misinformed by their lawyers and could have chosen to remain trans inclusive.
A court, perhaps ultimately in Strasbourg, will need to decide.
I know this may be a marathon journey, but it is inconceivable that when the Gender Recognition Act was drafted, exemptions, which included single-sex spaces and female sport, would also mean a trans woman could not attend a conference.
For nearly a year, the Labour government has witnessed the chaos the Supreme Court judgment has caused: likely suicides, certainly suicide attempts, trans people outed at work, trans women and girls expelled from Girlguiding, and volunteers quitting in protest.
The Women’s Institute has excluded trans women who had been members for decades, resulting in multiple branches closing, leaving many elderly s!s women without the companionship they cherished.
This is madness, and the Labour government could and should have intervened - neither Girlguiding nor the WI wanted to exclude - this gender-critical “lawfare” has to be stopped.
I never imagined that I would be the one embarking on this epic journey to help overturn the FWS judgment, and I know the right-wing media will target me relentlessly with lies and misinformation - something I have faced several times before.
As I begin my legal case, it is clear that I can no longer remain the public face of TransLucent, which is not involved in my personal dispute.
I have served the Labour Party loyally in various Women’s positions in the past. As a post op trans woman with a Gender Recognition Certificate and as an award-winning feminist, I am truly disgusted, but while I feel desperately let down, it is my intention to remain an active member of my CLP.
I am pleased to confirm that Prof. Stephen Whittle OBE (who co-founded Press for Change) and Dr Debora Diamond, both eminently qualified, will take my place at TransLucent. I know they will do a superb job.
My immediate resignation will not affect the tireless advocacy work the organisation has undertaken -TransLucent will continue to fight for the dignity, respect, human rights and healthcare that trans people so richly deserve.
I have had months to prepare for this, as my dispute with the Labour Party has been ongoing since December. Although I am leaving my position at TransLucent, I will continue being involved in the cause of human rights and intersectional feminism.
Finally, please support my Crowdjustice Campaign to help fund my legal case against the Labour Party. Initially, I need £25k, followed by a further £45k as soon as possible.
All donations go directly to my solicitor - should you prefer by using the slider, you dont need to leave a tip to Crowdjustice.
Please donate and share this post.
Thank you.
