CW: CW: Trans Exclusion : UK Pol
Co-op caves to TERFs, although it has promised unisex toilets where possible in an indefinite future, and no details on where trans staff can go in the meantime, other than the disabled toilets which both forcibly outs trans folx and also treats us as an undefined third gender, contrary to ECHR.
"Co-op scraps trans-inclusive toilet policy following Supreme Court ruling
> The Co-operative Group has changed its toilet policy for trans, non-binary and intersex staff following EHRC guidance on single-sex spaces."

Not sure if it was a good idea for my mental health to start listening to “Her Name Is Alice” by @[email protected] this morning, but I am so thrilled to hear a mother speak with such joy about her daughter. Thank you for writing about her, Caroline. #TransgenderUK #TransRights #Pride

> The Discrimination Of Being An Indeterminate Sex
On Thursday last the UK EHRC, which is in theory at least tasked with
improving equalities and human rights, released its guidance to Parliament
regarding trans citizens access to single sex spaces, and it is fair to
say the guidance is devastating.
But first a little history. Back in the early 2000s in a case brought
before the ECtHR it was ruled that the UK was in breach of human rights
law, in that the UK defacto rendered trans citizens an indeterminate
third gender. This ruling resulted in the GRA 2004 and the EA 2010
resulting in trans people being legally recognised as our acquired
gender, within certain bounds. This existed for a decade until it was
in essence overturned by the Supreme Court ruling in April 2025 which
ruled that under the EA 2010, sex meant "biological sex" without
establishing what this means. This created further confusion because,
under the EA 2010 it was already possible to discriminate against
trans people, albeit with a high bar, on a case by case basis and
in order to achieve a legitimate aim. In short, it was always possible
for women's groups to exclude trans women albeit within certain
bounds.
This guidance now mandates that trans women only use men's facilities
and trans men use women's facilities, unless they look too feminine
or masculine in which case they may not, in which case some undefined
"third space" must be used. This puts trans people at risk and also
forcibly outing us, which is itself against the law. As for the risk,
it is highly likely that any such space would become known as "tranny
toilets" with all the risk of violence that entails.
A more chilling possibility is that such guidance would make it effectively
impossible for any trans person in the future to medically transition.
This is due to the highly pathologised nature of trans medicine whereby
a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, which does not exist in ICD11, is
required for medical transition and a key part of this is demonstrating
living within acquired gender, including the use of appropriate gendered
spaces. This guidance will make that last part impossible and illegal.
The practical result of this will be to drive trans people from public
life. How for example can we go to the pub with our friends if we
are unable to use the toilet?
This must be protested and fought against as the impact will not end
with trans people, indeed, already we are seeing cis women being impacted
if they do not look feminine enough. To this end protests are due to
be held across the UK with some already having been held.
This is regressive, and must not stand.

A very sad day for transgender people in the UK. Marginalised further and made to feel less valued and wanted in society. 🏳️⚧️ 😢 🤬

Went into a corner shop to get myself a sandwich the other day, and saw a Daily Mail on the news stand with this headline: "LABOUR OPENS DOOR TO TRANS CHILDREN IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS"
I thought, well, that's pretty optimistic of them, but we can hope!

I’ve started the process to change my name on all of my documents and stuff. Wish me luck everyone!
I think the process has to look like this:
- Change driving licence
- Change benefits
- Change bank accounts
- Change passport once I have a letter from a doctor to change my gender marker
- From there I can start the timer on getting a gender recognition certificate

Just got a friend to call up the Tavistock gender clinic to ask for a transferral to Transcend, the new-ish gender clinic in the Merseyside. The Tavistock seemed open to doing it and asked her to send them an email, which she did and we eagerly await the results of.
If this works then it seems like a good path for anyone else in the local area since Transcend has a much shorter waitlist than the older clinics.

To any trans folks from #liverpool , #merseyside and nearby this might be extremely important news: Transcend is now taking referrals directly from GPs!
It'd probably be worth any trans folks who can get referred to do so because while Transcend still isn't perfect, or even good, they've shown themselves to have shorter waiting lists and are at least somewhat less hostile to service users.

@ChrisMayLA6 as are every person. This slogan is being used as an anti trans statement s is not as innocent as you make out. Take a look at the protests in Edinburgh over the delay of the Scottish Government implementing that stupid Court ruling on gender. #trans #transgenderUK

Next Saturday at 1PM there will be another trans rights protest at the Victoria monument in Liverpool

CW: UKpol, transgender
Did the Supreme Court not think to ask those who wrote the Equality Act what they meant?
"A former civil servant ... Melanie Field, who oversaw [the Equality Act's] drafting and passage through Westminster in 2010, said the legislation was meant to give transgender people with gender recognition certificates (GRCs) the same legal status as biological men or women."

CW: Medical, blood
Just had another blood test to check my oesteogen levels, all going well I'll be able to have my levels adjusted and start progesterone. I would have been able to do so earlier but the last blood test I had was somehow contaminated :/

Don't feel like a man or woman? Feel like... just a person?
Questioning and just want some space? Or do you feel distinctly ungenderable today?Support Ryan in their legal case for the UK Government to stop assigning genders to people who aren't into it! Let us correct the gd paperwork already.
Yes, I'm kink-shaming policy right now! Treat people like people, gdi.
It's nice to just exist as an individual person.I'll wander around, do daily tasks, or fill forms that affirm my right to live life -- wildly enough! -- left tf alone.
I don't think a train company really gives a crap if I wear a dress or a cravat.
Just... having a grand old time, existing in a way that is apparently queer: 'as an human'. That's it.I don't think marketing teams shit themselves over an 'X', 'I', or 'U' outside the two letters you were told to assume were possible.
Oh yeah, and intersex people exist too. Some are cis.Donate if you can! Share either way! Thank you! aaaaaaaa!

What is Hormone Replacement Therapy? (Download and archive this video.)
A hormone is a chemical messenger made by your body to send signals to some or all body cells. Some hormones are made in other bodies or through chemical processes, like other medications.
HRT is a medical treatment for certain conditions, including menopause for some people, or precocious puberty for others.
(Mostly) Older men and women also use it to affirm their gender experiences.HRT has certain side effects on your body. You may find these desirable or unpleasant.
Any medical intervention can have therapeutic effects and side effects. Different people experience different outcomes.Do you want or need to biohack your hormone levels to affect your body?
Please learn more from your GP, family doctor, primary care provider, or another trusted clinician with access to your personal medical records.Some of the waiting lists can be quite long, or involve more steps than you may expect. So ask early, please!

from the vid: gender affirming care is suicide prevention. It's also preventative care against diseases of despair.

Well, I've made some discoveries that might help my little tranarchy project: first is that it's actually fairly easy and financially doable (albeit not 'cheap') to product transdermal estrogen that could be distributed.
Also I've come up with a name: Fin. First because trans shark. Second because we're bringing the "fin" to transphobia.

I want to put together a much needed no-compromises trans activism group in the UK because unfortunately there is no body at present that's unconditionally standing up for our rights. Ideally we'd be able to fill these purposes and more:
- Provide free access to HRT for people who need it funded by regular donations. Similiarly we should provide a centralised stock of HRT to get people through gaps in prescriptions or availability of DIY HRT.
- Organise protests and civil resistence to oppose transphobia, take a defiant stand against it and raise awareness of trans issues. I'm talking protests, stickering, marches and more.
- Provide 1:1 peer support for those who need it as well as community support groups.
- Respond to the worsening political and social situation as changes occcur.
The real question is how does one do this? I'll be here scratching my head trying to figure it out. Please if you can help in any way let me know! Boosting would help a lot too!

CW: Transgender UK, bad news, Cass review
According to one of the employees at CMagic the publication of the Cass review will cause a delay to the green lighting of the various pilot GICs (Cmagic, Genderplus, etc...). This is because, as we already knew, there is about to be an investigation into the various adult clinics similar to the Cass review. The consequence of this is that the various pilot gender identity clinics won't be able to take direct referrals as was expected to happen very soon since as a pilot clinic they aren't authorized to do so. Instead they'll only be able to take on referrals from the existing GICs, which is what has already been happening. They will remain pilot clinics for the time being. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news everybody.
