‘I’ve been spat on’: gender non-conforming women tell of toilet abuse after UK’s supreme court ruling” Support groups report that women and non-binary people are increasingly being challenged in toilets and changing facilities – but others call it scaremongering.

A big thanks to Libby Brookes for her powerful, balanced piece in The Guardian on the UK Supreme Court ruling. Whatever the truth is about the ruling, one thing is clear:

More people now feel unsafe simply being themselves.
That is not OK.

Society must protect everyone, not just those who fit gender norms. How can we better protect gender non-conforming people? We have to look after each other because the powers that be are not doing a good job of that.

“Now, more than ever, we need kindness and compassion and a genuine effort to understand each other, even towards those with prejudice.”
