My friend is an adult.

My friend has a valid credit card she has shared with steam.

I send my friend an adult game as a gift.

My friend can't get the game. She knows what the game is and was excited to play it. I live in the US. She lives in the UK.

We're pretty sure its a UK age laws thing instead of steam difficulties or even country borders.

I know I'm speaking to the choir here but I feel the need to share that we've experienced the real life effect and goal of these laws.

Because part of the thing is this game was not only good but it scratched a particular itch of mine. It would scratch a similar itch for my friend. It would enable her (as it has for me) to go and do more things because her needs are sated. And bond more as human beings.

These laws are attacking a way humans form bonds.

And I just want people to know that.

Yeah, Steam’s implantation of UK law is very strange. You *need* a credit (not debit) card on your account to see mature/sexual games.

I am begging the UK trans community and its allies to attend the Mass Lobby at Parliament on June 25th, 11am-4pm, organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance.

The new EHRC Code of Practice pushes trans people out of toilets, hospital wards, and community spaces. It normalises gender policing based on appearance and stereotypes. It becomes statutory guidance in the UK by the end of June.

Trans people are now legally their assigned gender at birth and must join gendered spaces accordingly, but if they are perceived as their lived gender, they can also be ejected from those spaces. The guidance says: either break the law, or don’t pass too well.

A mass lobby is where you invite your MP to discuss your concerns with you in-person. Ask your MP to:

Demand full parliamentary scrutiny, debate, and use their free vote on the EHRC Code of Practice.

Support any motions rejecting the EHRC guidance. As of June 4th, Labour MP Nadia Whittome has submitted a prayer motion - Early Day Motion 240.

Write to Bridget Phillipson, the Minister for Women and Equalities about our concerns

Your MP does not have to be an ally, they do not have to respond to your email for you to show up and greencard them (details below the cut.) What matters is that as many people as possible show up.

I cannot stress this enough: Showing up in person matters. It is much more effective than petitions, emails, and letters.

It is a horrible, stressful time, and I am so sorry if you're trans and live in the UK. But I was at last year's mass lobby and the line for greencarding alone stretched around the back gates. It was a record breaking mass lobby and made us impossible to ignore. Let's do even better this time. Details under the cut:
