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.
Lil notes i have as headcanons on Viltrumites biology.
Slower heart rate but very strong, helps them hold their breaths longer and slow their metabolism during long travels.
Most likely got a third see-through eyelid to protect their eyes from irritating in space.
More noticeable canines, some even have double canines but this trait appears at random. (Mark’s developed when his powers came in and now finds himself biting the most random things because it itches.)
He's clueless in true Mark Grayson fashion… Doesn't even realize why he starts thinking about Rick more and more or why he never gets around to the "stealing" part Until someone lays it out for him <3
If you haven't heard, there's an organization called Stop Killer Robots which is actively fighting to stop the spread of using generative AI for war and weaponry.
If this sounds good to you, sign their petition, it'll help a lot. If you also want to do more, consider donating to their campaign. They also have a shop where you can anti-generative AI merch. This money is going to help this organization help to plan treaties and talks to ban the use of gen AI in war.
If this succeeds, we can see a much bigger push back on generative AI in the future.

I think it would have been so interesting if one of both of these variants were less villain, more violent vigilante.
On a show level, it would force Mark to again confront the two ideas that he’s struggling with: A) that some villains may have to be killed to protect innocent people and B) that even violent people who have done awful things can be redeemed. I think it would make him understand Cecil much better! Maybe he gets this in the comics, but I’m still just wading into the more shallow side of the show rn.
Also, it would be really funny to have an additional Mark or two wandering around and getting beaten up.
Honestly any of these two could work on a similar way to Jason Todd, more willing on violence because of maybe small changes or ways their lives differed from mainstream Mark.
Are they truly evil or are they like this because they didn’t had a choice in the matter?
Did the people they mention died or abandon them for the atrocities they committed?
Did they went along with Nolan’s request or forced into it?
We know nothing of them and the possibilities are endless, this is why we got fanfiction!
I can’t help but wonder, if Jayce and Viktor are Orpheus and Eurydice, what greek mythology couple would Jinx and Ekko be? Which one would Caitlyn and Vi be?
