Sex workers get classed as sex offenders if they are prosecuted for crimes related to their work. The UK refuses to decriminalise sex work. The trans people most impacted by violence and abuse from police are sex workers. This is not the win the far right will claim it is.

Trans Activism UK is hosting a protest in place of the government's failed "Safe To Be Me" LGBT conference. The Conservative government has made a conscious effort to make the UK unsafe for all marginalised communities. You can cancel your conference, But you can't cancel us.

We've had several reports back from the Tate demonstrations today. The overall picture has been: Far right numbers were way less than they hoped for. Many of them were scared off and scarpered. Counter-protestors were far more prominent and successful. Huge well done 💕

We appreciate that a Wednesday is not the most ideal day for many people, which is why we announced the protest as early as possible back in January, confirming the date in stone at the start of March. The reason for this date is a very important one. 1/5

Not content with fishing for relatives of non-binary people, the BBC are now embarking on a no doubt another transphobic hit piece. Absolutely do not work with the BBC. They do not care about detransitioners, they do not care about trans people.

The BBC are doing a docu on Tavistock GIDS and have strolled into a detrans subreddit (and only a detrans subreddit) to fish for responses. As always, do not work with the BBC, do not think they will present your story fairly. They have a transphobic narrative to spin.

I'm happy to note that the business in this screenshot was spoken to by a member of the trans community about the BBC situation and have decided not to aid the BBC in their search.

No matter what bad news we have to face today, please be kind to yourselves. We've faced injustice before. We'll face it again. But we're here for the long game and we will keep standing tall.
