Forthcoming statutory guidance could have a profound impact on trans people's lives.

I've written to the Women and Equalities Minister to urge her to reject anything that undermines trans people's rights, inclusion, privacy or safety, and for Parliament to have proper oversight.

Drop what you're doing, and read the best piece on the Cass review, by @freddymcconnell:

"Hilary Cass’s proposals are mostly common sense. She must reject anti-trans bias with the same clarity."

🇬🇧UNITED KINGDOM | While many countries in our sample saw their empowerment rights increase following loosening of #Covid19 restrictions in 2021, the UK did not.

The #UK government is not improving empowerment rights outcomes for its people.

Today we sent a letter to @DominicRaab urging him to make LGBTQ+ Afghans a priority group for evacuation. With @RainbowMigrants, we demand an urgent response that includes LGBTQ+ Afghans as a priority group for immediate assistance. Please RT to support.

Wishing my fave bohemian adventurer @mercerPete safe travels as he moves to NZ today 😭

We were meant to be meeting for tinnies in town but alas not to be. So let me say au revoir with the memory of the single greatest night of our lives - when we crashed Cannes

That is some impact 👏🏾🇺🇸
