I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the impact of the RHRC’s proposed bathroom ban on Britain’s trans people by filming with a trans family over the last 7 years . Others need to know . Please help me get this film out by donating and sharing this widely

Please consider supporting our documentary A Dance of Identity into life. We have just a week to reach our stretch target of £25k Getting this film out is more urgent than ever. It is the story of a 7 year campaign of hostility towards trans existence.

The EHRC has sent its guidance to the Government. Now politicians need to act. As @nancymk.bsky.social writes:
"They can require the EHRC produce a code that is compliant with the Human Rights Act and the public sector equality duty." If they don't act, they are responsible for the harm."
A picture of the shell game - three red - ish cups, with a hand lifting one to show a dice.
As EHRC leaks a final draft Code of Practice to the Equality Act to the Times then delivers it to govt and attempts to wash its hands of the impact on trans people, its important to recognise and call out the shell game we're in. EHRC will say 'we're just following the Supreme Court judgement' 1/3
"I want to live in a world where I don’t have to worry about being attacked when I use the swimming pool changing rooms with my daughter or in the public loos when she needs a change or I need to pee". Sophie in today's Metro calls for your support. 2 days left!

This is the harsh reality of what the EHRC are trying to do - to exclude trans families from living normal life in the UK. As our film A Dance of Identity will show, Sophie has been worrying about for 3 years. Please pledge now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/171...

So happy to see a piece about our kickstarter by the Media Diversity Institute. We have just 14 days to reach our target and get this important film out in cinemas. www.kickstarter.com/projects/171...
🩰 What does it take to tell the story of a trans dancer in a hostile climate?
Filmmaker Alison Rooper followed Sophie’s journey for 6 years. Now she needs your help to finish the film.

Echoing Sophie: mainstream media only hears trans voices when their very existence is being challenged. This documentary can help to correct the false narratives. But we can't complete it and get it out in cinemas without support. If you're LGBTQIA+ or a trans ally, please chip in
The impact on trans people of EHRC's interim guidance was movingly described by @rozsavage.bsky.social and MPs in this Commons debate on self ID : lnkd.in/epQgkBaV. To help amplify trans voices please support my documentary: www.kickstarter.com/projects/171...

Lee you've been great from the moment this appalling judgment was published. Please continue the good work and know that you are supported by trans allies like me

Adding a website as a resource in my book was a last minute decision. I'm so glad I did. Readers are reaching out.
"It has completely opened my eyes to my ignorance...to the plight of trans men and women."
Read my short blog post about it.

Are you counting the horrendously transphobic Observer opinion piece on Sunday? (doubtless penned by Sonia Sodha)
Wonderful to see Caroline's book and interviews are cutting through in North London salons. I'm just off to pick up my copy ....
Caroline's forthcoming book about her trans daughter Alice is essential reading for all those who haven't understood what's at stake for all our human rights in Trump's wholescale persecution of trans people . Buy the book on March 13th!
This is a very good assessment of the situation and the way forward by @katymontgomerie.com
Great to hear this support for trans rights from Unison
If anti trans campaigners were hoping to find their beliefs endorsed, the session had the opposite effect. It was a public revelation of a scandalous intervention into children's well being by ignorant politicians. (9/10)
Prof Giordano was clear that the politicising of trans healthcare had resulted in clinical experts being excluded from key decision making bodies. Whether to prescribe puberty blockers is not a job for parliament but for patients, parents and their medical advisors, she said (8/10)
It was shocking to hear Prof Butler describe the desperation of the thousands of young people and their families waiting for assessment who are now in limbo. Many of those young people are off school and ‘barely functioning’, he told MPs. (7/10)
This judgment surely undermines the whole premise of the government’s ban on blockers! (which is to suspend all treatments outside a research trial) (6/10)
puberty blockers have an overwhelmingly positive impact on the mental health of trans adolescents. Equally damning was the view of all three experts that it any ‘clinical trial’ of puberty blockers would be neither ethical nor workable. (5/10)
In the many years of their use globally there has been zero evidence that they damage fertility or brain development; New long term studies into both these aspects are soon to be published. Existing international studies and clinical evidence so far in Britain confirm that (4/10)
We learned that: puberty blockers are a safe and effective treatment for children who suffer from precocious puberty as well as adolescents questioning their gender. Fears that they damage bone density are unfounded as the bone density is restored once hormones (male or female) are restored;(3/10)
This is the first time we’ve heard Britain’s top endocrinologists and bioethicists comment publicly on last year’s Cass report which has been used by politicians to end trans healthcare for thousands of young people. (2/10)
