Somehow, at some point in the last few years it has become acceptable to publicly mock trans people. This isn’t about vulnerable women’s spaces, or women’s sport, it’s about delighting in declaring your disgust for a tiny minority of other humans and it has to stop.

Many trans people are concerned and confused about what last week’s Supreme Court ruling. The UK Government must provide clear guidance to preserve the rights and dignity of all – including trans people.

#Paris2024 : A reminder from last night that our Prime Minister, instead of donning a naff poncho, brought his own weather protection. He read the weather report. He was prepared. He made a sensible decision based on available information. Unlike our last Prime Minister.

As a small antidote to negative news, here is a pic of my son’s breakfast the morning after his top surgery. Too many beans in my opinion, but nevertheless #TransJoy

I’ve met young people who’ve been prescribed puberty blockers. Some told me they’d helped lift them from depression & probably saved their life. A blanket ban is wrong & not what Cass recommended. Careful, clinical provision is the way forward, not this politicisation.

Labour's manifesto promised to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition & acceptance". That entails ending the Tories' ban on puberty blockers. Young people – cis & trans – must have access to healthcare they need. I'll always stand with the trans community.
