We need to support trans people in the workplace to help prevent their exclusion from the every day conversations that affect them.
I am happy to speak to anyone to share advice on applying to jobs, interviews, career development in any way I can.

I appreciate the piece from @owenjones.bsky.social but it once again repeats that trans men will be forced into the women's when that isn't what the guidance says. The guidance says trans men aren't allowed to use the women's, either.

Take any one of the medications that you currently take. Let's say hayfever pills. Or an inhaler. Or birth control.
How would the effectiveness of those medications be evaluated by the below well-being outcomes:

No survivor should face harm from the very system that is meant to protect them. No child should have to carry an abuser’s name. It’s time to change the system.

To be really clear, Sussex ICB threatened, in writing, to close a Brighton GP practice serving 25,000 patients, purely to bully them into passing over child records. The GP did not want to pass on these records, because they understood the acute risk (& reality) of harm to trans adolescents.
Sophie's article is back up with a statement from the ICB. They are lying. They threatened Well BN with closure if they weren't given access to our childs records. Well BN held off for months, trying to stop them.
"Laura fears all will be lost if ICB Sussex forces her child off the medication.
If ICB Sussex get their own way in a matter of weeks and they force detransition, Olive may well take her life."

They have not spoken to us directly since the investigation was announced. They made the decision to take away what for my daughter was life saving care without ever hearing from us or taking into account the harm of that decision. It’s been devastating. Thank you for talking about it.

Starmer has taken active steps to hurt trans people. He could have done nothing and it would not have hurt labour's standing at all. Labour's anti-trans actions are done because Starmer wants to. He wouldn't buy Whittome here if he thought there was any chance she can have a meaningful impact.
Delighted to announce that I have joined the Women & Equalities Committee, alongside @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social and Kevin McKenna MP.
I’m looking forward to scrutinising the government’s work in this area and championing equality for women and marginalised groups.
