Transphobia is about to be signed into law in the UK. We can fight this.
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.
Last year we broke the record for an LGBT+ mass lobby of Parliament. Will you help us break it again? Join us on 25th June 2026 to demand be
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:
Worried about what to say?
Bring your personal worries about transphobia being signed into law, and trans friends being excluded from public spaces. You are a living person who deserves dignity. Remind your MP of that. You will also get guidance and brochures from Trans Solidarity Alliance that outlines our demands. This is mine from last year.
Money issues?
Trans Solidarity Alliance provides a travel bursary that you can sign up for via the link.
Got a refusal or no response from your MP?
Come anyway! You can request a same-day appointment with your MP through a process called greencarding. They will come and see you if they’re already in Parliament. Even if they don’t, they’re made acutely aware of your cause because you showed up in person. This is my greencard from last year.
Here is the EHRC Code of Practice in full. It's a tough read, but some highlights are:
Organisations can’t provide trans-inclusive, single-sex services, or they risk being sued for discrimination.
e.g. domestic violence support for women including trans women, men’s rugby group including trans men (12.68).
Trans people will have nowhere safe to pee.
If you’re a trans man, businesses can't allow you to pee in the men's, and you can also be ejected from women’s bathrooms if you’re perceived as a man. Vice versa for trans women. EHRC suggests a ‘third space’ bathroom, which is discriminatory and unworkable for most businesses. (13.130-133)
Sports organisations must exclude trans people from single-sex competitions (13.73).
A women’s only sports competition must exclude trans women because of their biological advantage or face potential lawsuits (13.74), but a trans man who has undergone testosterone treatment can also be excluded based on fairness rules (13.81).
Trans women are stripped of the legal definition of ‘lesbian’, and therefore no longer have legal protections if they’re discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation. (2.50, 2.92).
Here is the Good Law Project's better explanation of the EHRC Code.
I have also made a PDF printout of QR codes for the government petition, email your MP tool, and mass lobby link to pass around your communities. DM me and I'll send it to you.
The first steps in life are not easy, not for humans and not for rooks. This rook probably just left the nest that day and walking on uneven ground the first time is not easy. They also cannot really fly at this stage, they manage a few flaps, but gaining height and landing is really difficult, so they rather walk.
Good time to remind people that birds like this are not injured. Lots of new fledglings get reported as injured birds. Unfortunately the fledgling stage is dangerous as they are susceptible to predators, but it’s what they have to go through to eventually fly. Luckily it really only takes a few days. And mom and dad are usually around helping out with feeding and alerting to danger. The only baby birds that need assistance will not have any feathers on them, they are hatchlings and you call your local wildlife rehab for help.
Reblog for the good info from @lifewithchronicpain.
And I would like to add: If you see a fledgling at a dangerous place, like on the street or on any pathway where lots of people walk or cycle, just take the little bird carefully in your hands and place it in a nearby bush. And no, the parents will not abandon the fledgling because of the human smell. That is a myth that originates from the rescue of some species of mammals like deer, where that is the case. With birds it is not a problem. And yes, the parents will find the fledgling in the bushes, because just like the little rook in my video, it is normal for all songbird fledglings to move around and call for their parents. The parents will also call out and that way they will find each other. But it is important that you move away, so that the parents will come closer. Like when I do these videos I always stay quite a long distance from the fledglings (hence the shaking because I use a really long focal length) and I never stay long, especially when the fledgling starts to call.

Speaking of The Heavy Metal Memoir set in my hometown (whose actual name I have long forgotten), I kept thinking about it when I watched Todd in the Shadows attempt to grapple with the question of how we know metal is 1. uncool and 2. unlike other seemingly related music genres, not relevant to the world of music criticism.
I was first exposed to this harrowing question as an 18ish metalhead when I read The Heavy Metal Memoir. I simultaneously had hurt feelings while also trying to be like 'why should this matter? I don't care anyway!' Possibly it helped that the main period he covers in the memoir is the entire pre-grunge era, which from my position in the 2000s felt increasingly irrelevant.

RIP Marjane Satrapi, a huge artistic inspiration of mine. Her comics are incredible, sparse, so expressive, each panel tells you so much in a few simple lines. I learned so much from her as a young person when I read her autobiographical works, both about the complex politics and history of Iran, and about how incredible the medium of comics can be.
Thank you Marjane Satrapi. The world is worse without you.
Someone I follow posted art, then a few posts higher up someone else I follow posted a reblog of that art with the same amount of reblogs but less likes. This is the new reblog feature nobody wanted, isn't it? The one where each reblog makes a new post? Ugggggh.
fuck! such cool tracks, I never heard any of them before but all of them tingled my brain in such a good way.
i wake up with the first track in my head which means I end playing it a bunch of times before breakfast. The second is to open up the hips for summer baby!! Orchestra Baobab is such an entity i don't think it needs an introduction.
I tag @bddybby666 @revcleo @invisibletwinsisterwhofollowsyou @cjamswriting @zveroyadina @vvhatifhumanshadtails @cowgirls4breakfast @prettyfacebadcharacter @reneesimone @greenfishnets show me your stuff!!<3
Thanks for the tag :) lovely musics all around I don't have much specific in rotation at the moment but I love this track and video, there's not much I can think of which celebrates romany and other roma British people
this song repeats in my head every now and then
I saw this before I knew of what it's parodying/building off (Did you ever get a ride on the tractor) once again the track is great (I've not heard such great use of the default yamaha sounds) but the video is special
@saxifraga-x-urbium @bisthefairy @shandrydan @wild-at-mind @ccrowsiie show me some tunes :)
Hell yeah music posts!! I listened to every track and loved all of them, awesome. I agree @revcleo, so little stuff that celebrates British Romany. It's an amazing video. (Also- I see the Sheppey bridges making a couple of appearances :D The big bridge actually has a sign that says unsafe for pedestrians and horse drawn vehicles and to take the lower bridge, not everywhere you see that specified!)
My tracks:
The first 2 because they cronch in my brain just right, something about the sound. The 3rd one just because it is lovely and someone made a really good English lyrics translation designed to have the same rhythm as the original so it can be sang in English. It's about being a hawk. (It's a cover and the original is by Hungarian folk band Kaláka.)
Thy Catafalque – Embersólyom: English translation. Original lyrics in Hungaria
I won't be tagging anyone because I feel I don't know you guys on here like that and also because I just got off a massive tumblr break and have no idea whose still around. But anyone can do this if they would like, I wanna see (and hear)! :)
