Graphic reading: Christine Goodwin Vs The UK, the historically pivotal case you need to understand to fight for Trans+ rights with a picture of the European Court of Human rights, a room with a EU flag carpet and a semi-circle bench, with blue chairs

20 years ago, a landmark decision at the European Court of Human Rights changed the lives of Trans+ people in the UK and Europe.

It was a pivotal moment in Trans+ history –  but now its significance is being erased.

Tomorrow, 10K readers will understand why 👇🧵

You can support Trans+ rights and win a British election: A consequential Green victory Spencer has been a supporter of Trans+ rights and was accompanied on her campaign by Zack Polanski, the UK's first openly gay leader of a political party

This victory should be a wake-up call to everyone in the UK that the political playing field has been reshaped, and the fight ahead will play out in uncharted territory.

It establishes an important legal principle that in most public life - segregation is not lawful.

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

The spread of these numbers is vastly significant.

Appleby's report was held up by Wes Streeting at the despatch box to defend the safety of his ban on puberty blockers.

This spike in suicides following Tavistock's shuttering raises huge questions for Streeting.

goodlawproject.org/new-data-sho...

The new data out today shows there was a fourfold increase, from 5 in 2019-20, 4 in 2020-21:

To 22 in 2021-22, the year Tavistock was shuttered

We only have this data thanks to a series of FOIs, and press requests - not because officials have taken action.

One in six children who died by suicide were LGBTQ+, new data shows Amid heated public debate about whether trans children are dying by suicide, campaigners say we need to "take the politics out of policymaking"

What we argued in 2024 was the very point made by the whistleblowers: these numbers were seemingly obfuscated, making it more difficult to report on this issue.

Now, two years on, thanks to vast research, we are closer to understanding the true picture.

Attempt to cover up "explosion" of trans youth suicides on NHS waiting lists NHS England faces accusations of an institutional attempt to cover up a rising number of deaths among transgender youth waiting for its care in order to protect its reputation and because "it is polit...

Reading the Appleby report in 2024, it was clear how subjective and opinionated it was.

To rebuke what @goodlawproject.org and @wearequeeraf.com were reporting it said that the data wasn't concrete enough - but, that didn't capture the nuance of our journalism.

www.wearequeeraf.com/attempt-to-c...

I've always been clear about the huge irony in a government report calling the media like @wearequeeraf.com irresponsible for reporting on trans suicides, in case it harms young people's wellbeing.

Politicians, healthcare systems and media perpetuating hate, are the driving forces 🧵

One in six children who died by suicide were LGBTQ+, new data shows Amid heated public debate about whether trans children are dying by suicide, campaigners say we need to "take the politics out of policymaking"

Important new data uncovered by @ludovicparsons.bsky.social & @wearequeeraf.com

107 of 647 children who died by suicide in England were LGBTQ+ in 2019-2025. 46 of those were trans - this is disproportionate

I spoke to Ludovic about how action needs to be taken⬇️

All eyes are now on the judicial review, brought by the @goodlawproject.bsky.social, on the EHRC's hasty actions in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling

It's striking to me that this shift is happening before that significant ruling 👇

Just got a reply to a press request I made in 2020

Needless to say, it missed the deadline.

The Levy Review has been published | Good Law Project We analyse the findings and implications of NHS England’s review of adult trans healthcare, published today.

Screenshot of newsletter text that reads: Picking up our Audio Production Award this week on behalf of the QueerAF podcast producers, speaking to the audio industry audience, I reflected on how we sometimes talk about hard-to-reach communities in the media. But 450 Trans+ people applied for the 20 opportunities we offered for the first ever Trans+ History Week. The queer and Trans+ community is bursting with untapped talent, and if there were more of us in the room, the way we're represented in the media would be vastly different. At a time when so many headlines pit marginalised communities against each other, I'm incredibly proud QueerAF and Trans+ History Week have been recognised for a show that mentored Trans+ creatives and bought them equipment to create beautiful, nuanced and inspiring documentaries on the millennia-old history of gender diversity to shut down the pernicious lie that being Transgender is a modern 'trend'.
