  • Well, I’m not an expert in this stuff, but here’s a couple of starting points

    • This bill amendment that was submitted, but thankfully didn’t pass
    • The Cass Report, a review of the science of trans studies the government bases many of its decisions on has been widely criticised by the international community. It was also found they tried to deliberately ban any subject experts from weighing in on the report during its construction.
    • The EHRC and other government bodies frequently consult trans hate groups while preventing any trans person from weighing in on decisions about them
    • Last year, the UK government banned the use of puberty blockers for adolescents, saying there is an unacceptable health risk to them, when in fact the risk is minor at best and witholding them is much more damaging to trans people (high suicide rate, for example).

    Generally, rather than listening to experts, the government cherry picks bad research (similar to weirdos saying vaccines cause autism) and listens to and emboldens hate groups.

    It’s a words Vs actions sort of thing. They say they support trans people, while doing everything they can to make their lives worse.


  • That’s the narrative, but trans rights have been taken away. Ask anyone who is being forced to out themselves by going to their “sex assigned at birth” bathroom, or being forced to use the accessible toilets.

    That’s in no small part due to the EHRC’s “interim guidance” that in no way follows the law.

    Not to speak of the increased trans-spotting, and the fact women can now be searched by male police officers (trans or cis) for being suspected of being trans.

    And every effort is being made to pass more laws to make things worse, such as making registries of trans people, outing them to their employers and potential employers.
