"The [#EHRC] has issued an update to previous guidance, stating that teachers who misgender #trans pupils are not guilty of discrimination...The previous guidance stated it would be discriminatory...In the update, the EHRC removed this section entirely."

If anyone was in any doubt about the legitimacy of banning #trans #women from #sport, here we have the proof that is was never about strength or speed, it was just plain and simple #transphobia, not to mention the appalling #sexism.

Trans panic is so bad that the international chess federation has banned trans women from competing in women's events, which is ironic, as women's events only exist because of sexist discrimination in chess. It goes to show that all this "physical advantage" stuff is nonsense.

[Dr Helen Webberley (she/her) @HelenWebberley]

The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%.

The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%.

"Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare.

However...

Let's address that 0.3%.

Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret:

👉Unsupportive families.
👉Transphobic environments.
👉Normal post-op distress.

Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender.

The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve.

Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.

This is where the anti-trans moral panic will take us, humiliating genital checks. Does anyone really want this?

@WhatTheTrans I'm thinking it might even become a kind of 'franchise' org, along the lines of the Kill the Bill or COP26 Coalition, that produces leaflets and posters and encourages people to form local groups. I'm just thinking aloud, really.

[Trans Liberation @translibnews]

@WhatTheTrans Michelle, do you think it would be possible/desirable to get all the significant trans orgs together to form an umbrella group with a boring name like UK Trans Alliance or something, where we could co-ordinate actions in different cities? Could/would you call for such a thing?

🧵...and that the anti-trans backlash juggernaut is still rolling on, attempting to crush all trans-inclusivity in its path.

🧵This should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone, but it is further proof both that #trans women are being increasingly shut out of elite #sports...

🧵 These lawmakers in the USA will have blood on their hands. They don't care about young people, it is simply about winning a culture war and for their own electoral gain.

The transphobic religious right already tried to do this in Britain and I'm sure they will try again.

🧵 It is unspeakably cruel to ban #gender-affirming care such as #hormone blockers, which are entirely reversible and proven to massively reduce suicide attempts, for teenagers.

The fascists are at it again, so we will be there too, to stop them. Join us if you can!

#Transphobic #SNP Leadership candidate Kate Forbes has been narrowly defeated by Humza Yousaf. The vote (52%-48%) went marginally in favour of a man who has often spoken in defence of #TransRights. However, it is clear that the SNP is still riddled with anti-#trans sentiment.

🧵So why the change of heart now? I'll let you decide the answer to that one.

🧵Seb Coe doesn't know whether #trans #women have an unfair advantage over cis women in #Athletics or not, but he has spoken with lots of people who think they might. So he has decided that the fairest thing to do is to #ban trans women...

🧵3 This overturns decades of World Athletics policy positions which have been to follow the available science, which states that trans women with testosterone levels within the normal female range (a contested topic in its own right) have no discernible advantage over cis women.

🧵#Labour look set to ditch their support for #trans people and throw us under a bus in order to appeal to their target demographic, women under 50.
