News you need, the perspective you won't find anywhere else. The trans community's guide to UK news and politics and our place in it.

A bill aimed at making the lives of trans people marginally less obstructive has attracted widespread media attention, including with opposition from prominent media figures such as JK Rowling. However the Scottish Gender Recognition Reform has finally passed into law following today's vote.

Graham Norton's Twitter account has been deactivated following transphobic backlash due to comments he gave during an interview regarding the ongoing "trans debate."

The Daily Telegraph are running a piece in their Monday edition about Suella Braverman's latest nonsense while they also jump on the JK Rowling misinfo wagon.

Not least due to the fact that The Times have had to issue multiple corrections for poor journalistic practice in the past, including on trans issues in particular.
