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 donât 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?Â
Come anyway! You can request a same-day appointment with your MP through a process called greencarding. They will come and see you if theyâre already in Parliament. Even if they donât, theyâre 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 canât provide trans-inclusive, single-sex services, or they risk being sued for discrimination.
e.g. domestic violence support for women including trans women, menâs rugby group including trans men (12.68).
Trans people will have nowhere safe to pee.
If youâre a trans man, businesses can't allow you to pee in the men's, and you can also be ejected from womenâs bathrooms if youâre perceived as a man. Vice versa for trans women. EHRC suggests a âthird spaceâ bathroom, which is discriminatory and unworkable for most businesses. (13.130-133)
Sports organisations must exclude trans people from single-sex competitions (13.73).Â
A womenâs 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 âlesbianâ, and therefore no longer have legal protections if theyâre 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.

I am actually so confused and baffled as to what possible reason there is to react like this to this comic. All the artist is saying is that itâs⌠fine for trans people to be gender nonconforming? That it doesnât make their identity less valid? Literally why would you be upset about this other than youâre a raging transphobic bigot. Much less making literal death threats towards the creator and directing others to harass them. Actually ghoulish, please report this post and get it taken down because this isnât okay.
If you have any sort of food restrictions (Allergies, sensory issues ARFID etc) have you ever wished that you didn't need to eat despite loving food and liking to eat when it's something you can eat?
Yes
No
Nuance
Remaining time: 6 days 20 hours
(this poll isn't asking about anorexia or anything of the sort, just the feeling that you wish you didn't need to eat because it's too difficult to feed yourself or too much of a burden on people around you)
looked up russians vs japanese piracy twt beef and its worse than i thoughtđ it all started with japanese users being mad at discovering there's all those unofficial russian manga reading sites. russians tell them that there's not much licensed manga in russia to consume legally in the first place. japanese say its your problem, you should then go to japan and buy it legally. russians obviously go ??? it's crazy expensive to fly to japan plus we're sanctioned and often can't purchase foreign things with our money. japanese go full russophobia and say ahhh you evil aggressors deserve it for war. russians answer that even before the war this wouldn't be a solution. then brazilians join russians to fight on the side of piracy and started gotcha japanese with their war crimes and xenophobia. then other japanese users joined on the side of piracy and said anti-piracy japanese are hypocrites because its common in japan to listen to pirated western music. i guess this made japanese anti-piracy people even madder and they went all in saying crazy stuff like comparing piracy to rape. the more hilarious example was one japanese user trying to gotcha russians by threatening to pirate and read... dostoevsky𤣠sums up their level of ignorance regarding this whole topic.
I was thinking about this post last week and didnât even bother trying to search for it cuz how in the fuck would you describe it in a way that tumblr search would find
I've said this before elsewhere but it bears repeating: the Mr. Hat hostage situation is one of the AA4 Moments Of All Time for me. The involved characters' actions and reactions says so much about each of them as people.
We see Trucy's impeccable observation skills + intelligence at play when she notices that Stickler is hiding something, her cunning and quick thinking in coming up with a scheme to not only delay the verdict but to create an opportunity for herself to convey this information to Apollo privately, and her boldness + confidence to fake her own kidnapping in the middle of a courtroom in the first place
It's been pointed out before, but Apollo is so empathetic in the way he bursts into tears out of fear for Trucy's safety, but also in his righteous anger towards the "gangsters" he thinks kidnapped her ("There's some things you just don't do! I'm pressing charges!"). Then, when he's back in the courtroom, we see his brash confidence in how he proclaims to the judge that he "settled it". I would need to replay the games to see if the rest of the canon supports my reading of him as a bad liar, but his awkward claim that it was an "out of court settlement" in this moment certainly isn't a good lie.
And this is one of the moments I always point to when discussing that Klavier is very intelligent and not the blonde himbo he gets characterised as in fanon sometimes. He's the only one in the courtroom that knows Trucy's "assailant" is just a magic trick, and he isn't fooled for a second. I also find it so interesting that he goes along with the scheme and even plays into it ("I see no reason to further aggravate this gentlemen"), but at the same time, makes it very clear to Apollo and Trucy that he knew exactly what they were up to ("Perhaps Fraulein would have us believe it was nothing more than a passing dream... a fantastic illusion, now you see it, now you don't"). Prolonging the trial serves his desire to better understand the attorney that had his brother arrested and that's most likely what his motive is here, but I also like to interpret Klavier as someone who likes to be entertained as much as he likes to do the entertaining, and Apollo and Trucy both are an endless source of amusement for him.
It's such a good moment, and a nice little encapsulation of what I like about each of these characters <3
okay i know we point out how edgeworth is in love particularly during the 3rd game and after, BUT that fucker had been at least a little impacted by the first game because wdym he folded his evil prosecutor act THE SECOND CASE HE HAD WITH PHOENIX.
YEARS OF ABUSE fucking DOWN THE DRAIN because of ONE GUY (and his favourite TV show obviously)
[ID: A digital drawing of the head of Apollo Justice from Ace Attorney. He's drawn in a simple cartoony style with a blushing face and shiny forehead. Next to him is a red apple the same size as his head with a similar shine and two leaves on its stem that resemble Apollo's hair horns. Text at the bottom of the image reads "spot the difference". End description.]
people on here are always saying âwe NEED a story where the art of storytelling is abandonedâ like ugh literary devices are soo annoying like that wouldnât happen in real life that only happened to further the story (why is there story in my story) why would orpheus turn around when he was explicitly told not to why would icarus fly so close to the sun romeo&juliet catcher in the rye why are they so earnest why pour your heart and soul into anything why bother why cant all art be quippy logical monotony like my marvel movies thereâs a void in my heart bc i refused to fill it and the curtains were blue
âi hate poetry its so pretentiousâ but then you reblog a quote or a throwaway line and say âwhy does this go so hardâ you are desperate for poetry you are starved for it and u dont even realise youâre hungry
Saving this post to show my boss who I told the AI flier makes us look lazy and ignorant, and offered to hand draw one. She still printed tons of ai fliers and I'm tempted to make a better one just because it annoys me so much.
