619 has been on the morning quarry runs this week. A very nice loco, does as it's told and gets moving!

"She does not own the fandom" is the big lie to soothe whatever flickers of their conscience you desperately want to stomp out. You keep it relevant. You keep it in the conversation, as part of the zeitgeist. You make it core to your sociality and support her empire.

You pay for our eradication.

It’s Trans Pride in Manchester today. It’s a beautifully sunny day to remind the world that it’s always the right time to love, affirm, celebrate, and nurture trans lives without apology.

Though my freight trains would definitely be better with a catering trolley, it must be said.

Could get used to having someone make coffee for me on the move!

The government has just introduced a new Section 28 that will harm a generation of gender-nonconforming kids. New column by me (below).

I grew up under Section 28. I know the damage it caused. This will be a new darkness, with more silence and fear. Another blackout.

A new Section 28 is here – and it will harm gender-nonconforming children

This is idiocy and cruelty

The only logical reading of this letter is simply that BBC, at an editorial level, believes that trans people should be uniquely both-sides'd, that anti-trans voices, opinions, and beliefs are relevant to quote and promote when mentioning trans people in any capacity.

Every time you hear an update from the UK it takes us further back in time.

In other countries they have apologised and are compensating trans people for forced sterilisation - here we are still thinking this is normal

Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · Jul 9

The Gender Recognition Panel refused a GRC to a young trans man - because he wanted a child. With your help, we acted for him and paid for Counsel in his appeal hearing that concluded today.

We will fight against the sterilisation of trans people. goodlawproject.org/trans-people...

Trans people must be allowed to have children

The Gender Recognition Panel is refusing to legally recognise trans people’s affirmed gender if they’re trying to conceive children. But that breaches their human rights

Just been turned away from donating blood and deferred for year because of iron count being too low.

It turns out I have been allocated screening code '4', which on a controlled document they wouldn't let me take a photo of, is born male with a female gender identity.

🆕The EHRC has rolled back its previous insistence that UK single-sex service providers "must" provide single-sex options.

It's significant for employers and hospitality - but doesn't change its guidance's implication: Segregation for Trans+ people

Here's what they've said 🧵
