UK Health Secretary, Sajid Javid; “it’s important that words like women and men are...
The fact that transgender men and nonbinary people exist (and in the case of the former can have legal recognition of that fact) is enough to warrant the use of inclusive language. It's not about beliefs or about ideologies, its about ensuring that people get the care they need and that requires going beyond primitive views of 'basic biology'.
GCs and media continue to erase lesbians: The week in trans 04/09/22
Another week, another series of articles talking nonsense about trans people in the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, and Times.
Penny Mordaunt isn’t our best option for Prime Minister, she’s yours Jayne
Jayne Ozanne writes in Pink News that Penny Mordaunt is "by far and away the best" candidate and that Jayne believes Penny "is a true champion of all the LGBT+ community". Which is just wrong. She isn't our best candidate, she's yours Jayne. By which I mean semi-wealthy white cisgender queers. She's got your back, and judging by your endorsement of her after her tirade? Clearly you're fine with sticking the knife in ours if it means you don't have to look over your shoulder so much any more.
What does the Maya Forstater tribunal mean for trans people? (Don’t worry!)
Before Maya Forstater's case a lot of things were up in the air and every single lawyer, legal expert and asshole with a website like myself was just guessing about how things would work or play out.

The convenient LGBTQ allyship of Jordan Henderson
Jordan Henderson leaves behind his vocal LGBTQ+ allyship after moving to Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia, raising questions about the genuineness of his support.
JK Rowling’s horrific claim that trans women “retain male pattern criminality”
This transphobic disinformation has been floating around for many years now and has been debunked repeatedly. Despite this it persists as a quasi-religious belief amongst transphobes such as JK Rowling who repeated the claim on Twitter.
Everything you need to know about Isla Bryson, Transgender Rapists and a disgusting smear...
Isla Bryson and a handful of other transgender rapists have become major talking points in anti-trans rhetoric led by Scottish Tories who oppose the...
“Queer existence is resistance”; inside Trans Action Warwick’s protest of Nadhim Zahawi MP
Trans Action Warwick regard this protest as a success. They say they achieved their aim of disrupting the event, using it to make a statement that we need to oppose transphobia and those who weaponise it against us. They believe we can’t gain liberation by attending and asking "difficult questions" alone and that doing so risks legitimising the answers and normalising the negative way transphobes talk about trans people.
Allison Bailey’s embarrassing loss to Stonewall UK
Framing, its fun for all the family! The result of the Allison Bailey tribunal is out and transphobes are already claiming a win, with Allison herself having repeatedly posted the hashtag #AllisonBaileyWins.
