The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

Russell T Davies just told the entire TV industry to grow a pair. At last night's BAFTA Cymru Awards, the "Doctor Who" showrunner and genius behind "Q***r as Folk" delivered a speech that had everyone sitting up straight (no pun intended) - because he said what we're all thinking but too scared to say out loud.

"When times get tough, TV gets timid," Davies warned. He dragged the industry for letting compliance requirements turn writers into self-censoring cowards who kill their own ideas before anyone even gets to see them.

His solution? We need a BBC that stands for "Big Balls Corporation." An ITV that's truly "Independent Television." A Channel 4 that actually stands for something. And - a Netflix that means "Not Enough Trans Films Innit Love?"

Yeah, he really said that. And the room went wild.

But here's where it gets real: "We've seen in America what is happening, how the government is attacking the media. They're literally firing people and literally suing them, and we all know there are people who use that as a playbook. That is coming this way, that's a fact."

Davies has been fighting for q***r stories since Q***r as Folk changed television forever. He's given us "Years and Years", "It's a Sin", and countless characters who dared to exist unapologetically.

And he's making it crystal clear - the fight isn't over. Not even close.

Conversion therapy is harmful and shouldn’t inform NHS practice – new insights from clinical history.

An excellent new article outlining all that is wrong with the Cass Review, condemning its harmful impact on UK policy and practice, and calling it a failure of evidence-based medicine. Written by those involved in trans children's healthcare in Australia.

Good medicine is guided by the values of the patient, not those of a clinician, politician or commentator. The Cass Review, lacking expertise and compromised by implicit stigma and misinformation, does not give credible evidence-based guidance

Labour deputy leadership frontrunner Lucy Powell has branded proposals to mandate the exclusion of Trans+ people from gendered spaces and services “not right” and called for MPs to properly scrutinise and vote on any changes. Her rival, Bridget Phillipson, has to decide whether to approve these proposals- which is currently set to be done behind closed doors. Phillipson can send the EHRC's draft back and insist on changes, and bring the process into the open for real scrutiny.

Reacting to Powell's dramatic intervention ahead of today's deputy leadership hustings, Trans+ Solidarity Alliance founder Jude Guaitamacchi (they/them) said:

“Waving through a Trans bathroom ban would be Labour’s legacy on LGBT+ rights for a generation of voters, and would cause trans people in Britain devastating harm. It’s not right, it’s not workable, and it’s not democratic…

“Fundamental rights shouldn’t be taken away behind closed doors. Lucy Powell speaks for many Labour MPs and members in saying that Parliament needs a say and that the EHRC has got this wrong. Proper scrutiny, proper democracy, and proper human rights considerations are key to fixing this mess.”
