The UK Government has put into motion worrying restrictions on trans people’s rights.
We have a tiny window to challenge this - please email your MP and ask them to stand up for what's right, and call on the UK Gov to show trans people respect. 🤍🏳️⚧️

Today, the UK Government put into motion plans to impose unprecedented restrictions on trans people's rights.
This is a spiteful attack on trans people who want to make their lives in Britain.
Act now. Call on the UK Gov to show trans people respect ⬇️

Anyone whose existence is dedicated to spreading toxic transphobia - while sending ‘big love’ to the far right and using LGBTQ+ people as a shield for vile bigotry - doesn’t speak for me. Sending love to my trans siblings ❤️🏳️⚧️ #JKDoesntSpeakForMe

Today, @thetimes ran with the headline ‘Teachers told to avoid the ‘biased’ views of BLM and Stonewall’.
This is factually incorrect. We will be making a formal complaint to the Times and asking for a correction. Read below for the truth behind the headline ⬇️
Yesterday we submitted a 19-page dossier of evidence to the @UN that reveals the numerous ways the @EHRC now falls short of the international minimum standards required of a credible National Human Rights Institution. Nearly 10k of you signed in support 🚨 https://t.co/OpYZOj79BO
Human rights organisations should not pick and choose which rights they uphold. The @EHRC has consistently failed to protect LGBTQ+ rights and has ignored the discrimination faced by many other communities throughout the UK. We all deserve better 👇🏾 https://t.co/bSQvwKmkGW
These reports, if true, are deeply concerning. Guidance of this nature would effectively seek to erase trans people from public life, and to make it impossible for them to participate in even the most basic social functions safely and with dignity.
The consultation to #BanConversionTherapy closes today!
This #LGBTHM22 make history. Call for a ban with no excuses and no exemptions 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

It’s your last chance to tell the Govt why we need to #BanConversionTherapy and get them to introduce legislation that protects ALL our communities without exception 👇🏾
Exclusive: Senior leaders at the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) have worked to erase trans rights via the courts and held private meetings with anti-trans groups, leaked emails and documents obtained by VICE World News reveal.

Today’s statements from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (@EHRC) are an attack on trans equality and undermine their core purpose of regulating, promoting and upholding human rights.
