"HR professionals report increased anxiety about implementing trans-inclusive practices, not because they lack legal grounds but because they fear becoming litigation targets [...] organisations that have operated trans-inclusive policies for years without incident now face legal threats"
Who's Funding the War on Trans Inclusion?
“The stated goal of strategic litigation is rarely to win every case. It’s to make the target behaviour—in this case, implementing trans-inclusive policies—expensive, risky, and exhausting”

Yup. Realistically, there haven't actually been any additional trans rights of note since 2004. What people mean is "seeing more trans people in public and on TV and being expected to be respectful to/about them".
"The wide-ranging polling on attitudes also suggested the proportion of the public feeling transgender rights have gone "too far" has more than doubled in five years" I WISH there was a follow-up question as to what new trans rights they think have come in over say, I dunno, the last 15 years?

Let’s be clear: @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social and Labour own this cruelty
Trans+ children and teenagers are being harmed by a Health Secretary who could stop it all tomorrow
But every day Streeting refuses to end his anti-Trans+ crusade, he makes a deliberate choice to let his cruelty continue

Please read this statement by Anne Health.
Trans children are being subjected by Sussex NHS to the physical torture of being forcibly detransitioned.
This is unnecessary cruelty and in my view constitutes torture, violence and child abuse on the part of NHS Sussex.

It turns out when you fire all the staff who handle travel bookings, visas, and security, the inspectors can't do their job either. These absolute dipshits.
The Food and Drug Administration is scrambling to hire contractors to replace fired employees who helped plan thousands of food and drug safety inspections throughout the world.

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

The poll only counts those who think they can escape the UK, not those who would go if they could, but are too poor, too old and so on. The proportion that wants to leave is much higher.
YouGov polling reveals that over a quarter of trans people are likely to leave the UK.
