my first piece (cowritten with Catriona Innes) in a print magazine comes out today: we interviewed 13 people, mostly trans women, about how the Supreme Court ruling has affected them for Cosmo UK

Relevantly, you can read a piece I wrote in November about trans people's trust in the judiciary. One that, as a UK lawyer, it was very taboo for me to write at all.

This perfectly illustrates my point that the British tabloids are aiming at a US audience. There like 5 people in the UK who think about this. But it is huge among US evangelicals.
British politicians need to ignore UK tabloids, as UK tabloids are talking to an audience in the US for clicks.
Facebook comment from Girlguidingβs official page. Girlguiding Hi everyone, We're aware of the Good Law Project campaign and the offers being made. Right now, our priority is engaging with our members and exploring how we can continue to champion inclusion while remaining within the law. Inclusion matters deeply to us, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalised groups. As part of this, the taskforce is exploring opportunities for trans girls and trans women to connect with and be supported by Girlguiding, while working within our equality and diversity policy. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Girlguiding seemingly deciding not to take up Good Law Projectβs offer of help and continuing to go down the route of excluding trans girls.
I think this dispels the idea that their leadership had their hands were tied by threat of costly legal action. They saw a chance and took it post FWS.
On social media, this woman publicly hurls all sort of abuse at her ex, who is apparently a trans woman: "porn-soaked sissy", "autogynephile" etc. All the usual slurs. But, of course, The Guardian, along with the rest of the UK media, won't quote her, because they are upholding her victim narrative.
"In a UK survey of over 4,000 trans people, TransActual found that 99% say media coverage has harmed their mental health, 99% have heard politicians express transphobic views, and many have been refused non-transition healthcare simply for being trans."

This fits with Aleksandra's reporting about Kansas preemptively tracking trans people in the state ahead of the law's passage

So itβs happened.
The first arrest has now been made since the Public Order Act (2023) was amended to classify animal testing sites as βkey national infrastructure.β
This is Britain in 2026, where you can be arrested and detained simply for peacefully protesting against animal testing.
π¨ It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

Observe this "debate" over who should decide on what clothes kids are allowed to wear. Labour say parents, Tories say the state. Both of course in total agreement that the kids themselves should have no say in it at all.
Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people βrecover,β all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially.

Nothing captures the depravity better than the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh girlsβ elementary school. Three missiles into one school building is no misfire. At least 148 innocents were killed in the attack with 95 woundedβmostly girls aged 7 to 12.

No penalty for accidental handball here. Of course, a few weeks ago, Chelsea were given a penalty against us for accidental handball. Ref that day was Darren England. Ref this afternoon is Darren England. Are you seeing the bigger picture?
My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down and itβs difficult to see.

Our thoughts about the Daily Mail.
If he'd been trans and lied about that he'd have been arrested...
"Most troubling of all is that the trans woman (can't name her here for safety reasons) revealed to me that the psychologist has doxed many other trans women using the same method."

Hi @chriselmoremp.bsky.social, I know lying is now so common in the Labour Party (see Gorton & Denton) that dishonesty is the New Black for Labour, but this is such an obvious lie coming from a party that has worked VERY hard to deny trans people in the UK our dignityβ¦

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the driversβ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives
If Brits think βit wonβt happen hereβ think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!
Invalidating ID cards based on gender is literally a key plot point in The Handmaidβs Tale. This is horrifying.
It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker
This was never about woman's sports
"...and there's been another arrest for misconduct in public office but for who Chris Kamara?"
a trans woman i know is being deported back to the USA due to the Home Office messing up paperwork.
her wife is desperately trying to raise the funds to prevent this. they have 48 hours before sheβs put on a plane and might never be able to return.
please, help if you can. theyβre both terrified.
Reform could gain another MP this Thursday. That's why we're urging Labour, Lib Dem, & other party supporters to lend their vote to the Greens this time in Gorton & Denton. We've carried out extensive research and it points to this being our best chance of stopping a very real threat from Reform.
