Scrap the UK Bathroom Ban
Via TransActual: The EHRC has sent a new draft Code of Practice to our Equality Act which would lead to the exclusion of trans people from public life. The decision now is up to this government, will they sign a trans bathroom ban in secret? Act now. Ask your MP to urge the government to…

Email Virgin Active
Via the Good Law Project Virgin Active gyms turned their back on trans people with a changing room and bathroom ban. They tried to justify it by claiming they were following guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission, but that guidance has now been withdrawn. No more guidance means no more excuses. It’s time to…

Demand an apology from the Wall Street Journal
This prominent Murdoch paper published unfounded assertions that baselessly accused trans people of committing violence, which put the community at risk of reprisal. This purports to be a serious newspaper which means it can and should be held to account. The HRC has a form and an example letter, but using some of your own…

Write to your MP
The recent decision by the UK Supreme Court is bad, but we’re still going to win. Anybody who went to the protests at the weekend feels it. This is a backlash and it’s bad, but there are just more trans people and allies than there are terfs and transphobes. We will win. Your MP needs…

Passport Rights for Trans Americans
Last week, the US group Lambda Legal had a workshop for trans people who are eligible for US passports. The information is current as of then. Almost all international travel requires passports, so it’s generally better to have an incorrect passport than no passport. As hedgehogs, we have no borders and dream that this will…

Trans rights now!
We are a collective of hedgehogs who have come to feel very prickly about the international rollback of trans rights. In recent years, we’ve mostly dedicated our activities to nighttime walks in the fog, eating slugs and avoiding bonfires, but we do have a history of anti-fascist organising, especially in Austria.
