24/05/25 - @flint_uk , @thedykeproject , @rs21org , @swunion_uk , @rmtunion , @falatinamericans and more stage a demonstration at Liverpool Street station, protesting the British Transport Police’s strip search policy, implemented a day after the Supreme Court gender ruling.
A spokesperson for FLINT said: “Violece against women happens everywhere, from the home to police cells. The right wing is using scapegoats like trans women and migrant men to cover up the sexism that actually runs through our whole society.”
SEE IT
SAY IT
STATE VIOLENCE
19/04/25 - an emergency demo for trans rights, where @queers.for.palestine join @transkidsdeservebetter , @rs21org , @fag.revolt , @blacktransalliance and countless other groups to march on Parliament Square following the Supreme Court’s ruling on a trans-exclusionary definition of “woman”. This decision comes about from the right wing billionaire-funded culture war against the systemically oppressed, harming trans people, and ultimately the cis people who lobbied for it.
An excerpt from QFP’s speech:
“The systems that seek to invisibilise transness are the very same systems that facilitate and propagate the genocide and ecocide of Palestinians and their land.
This imperialist system is a many-headed hydra, Zionists and terfs each a different head of this monster. They even have the same tactics - both claiming oppression to dehumanise and wield power over those actually being persecuted.”
Liberation is not curtailing yourself for proximity to power, for a seat at the table that is on fire, fuelled by the bodies of the oppressed.
There is no liberation for some of us without liberation for all of us. Trans Rights, Free Palestine

Our first symposium on Saturday the 25th was incredible! We were so glad to see over 200 of you show up and pack the main hall to capacity from morning to evening. We will be back next year! And in the meantime we all have a lot of work to do.
We heard from speakers across the movement, including an excellent keynote from Omar Khatib that combined his own questions, reflections, and provocations, with words from comrades in Palestine. We were left to reflect on how to move from small, committed queer groups into broader mass politics, how to build a movement that is structured, disciplined, sustainable, what we are bringing to the Palestine movement beyond queer visibility and what are the results of our organising.
We have some provocations to act on: to dismantle queerness as identity and understand political queerness. To build and organise outside the queer world. To struggle through contradictions instead of running away from them. To practice a form of care, as our comrade Nadine in Palestine urged, that is oriented towards the kind of action needed to actually dismantle the material structures of power that cause harm in the first place, like zionism.
The day was made much fuller and richer by the beautiful exhibition of movement photography and propaganda by @tarunisms and @ahealthylevelofdissent . We were reminded of the historical importance of documenting movements and designing their propaganda and visual language. We were invited to think about questions like what makes a photograph extractive or generative to the movements they capture, or what makes propaganda influential.
Finally we have some observations from history to consider: change is inevitable, the masses, when organised, are the only successful vehicle for change, direct action and mass organising are mutually complementary and necessary parts of a movement. This movement requires sacrifice and risking comfort and certainty, but there is greater safety in large numbers. Good organisation helps us to grow as people and overcome insecurities. Organisations transform us from individuals into political subjects.

10am-8pm
Last Thursday evening we hosted a fundraiser in solidarity with the people in Lebanon under ongoing Israeli assault. We raised £2.5k in support of grassroots aid initiatives. The funds will go towards equipping the @lebanese_civil_defense with the equipment they need to carry out lifesaving rescue operations and to the Lebanese emergency relief fundraiser @tanseqeye_shaabeye_lebanon who are providing essential support in the form of food, shelter and medical aid to the displaced.
Israel’s unprecedented and horrific assault on Lebanon on the 8th of April has made the needs of the people even more urgent and dire. Let’s continue to show material support and solidarity for the people fighting and resisting on the frontlines against western-zionist imperialism. Please continue to donate to and share these fundraisers and to other grassroots initiative!
Thank you so much to everyone who came down to support and made the evening happen!
Special shout out to:
@juzourdanceco for holding us together in community with Dabke and for reminding us of the power of art and culture in the resistance.
@ahmad_amki for sharing your beautiful poem and Alex from @peoplesletters for sharing some Palestinian poetry with us.

30/03/26 - LET TRANS KIDS BLOOM
@transkidsdeservebetter plant flowers outside the Department for Education, demanding the scrapping of transphobic guidance.
The guidance within “Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026” puts up barriers to social transition, which will have negative consequences on trans kids.
Testimonies from kids include:
“Social transition as a kid would’ve LET ME BE A KID”
“Not being able to be fully, authentically myself early on made my MENTAL HEALTH TAKE A NOSEDIVE”
“Now that I’m not worried about being misgendered and deadnamed, I can actually THINK ABOUT MY FUTURE with comfort”
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 DYKE PROJECT SHUTS DOWN NHS ENGLAND HQ
Today we shut down NHS England HQ, staging a die-in inside NHS England to protest their decisions to restrict live-saving gender affirming care. Banning HRT for trans teens will cost lives! As queers and feminists we say: Come on Streeting, no more lies, Don’t play games with trans lives.
➡️➡️➡️ This morning, we called for NHS England and Health Secretary Wes Streeting to end his attack on trans healthcare and immediately reverse the ban on gender-affirming care for trans teenagers.
Trans healthcare is live saving. Multiple studies show that the vast majority of trans people are happier after transitioning. Everyone has the right to bodily autonomy and there can be no exception for trans youth.
NHS England also recently announced it was undertaking a further review into hormone treatments for trans adults. The attacks on trans healthcare must stop!
❓❓ As a result of Streeting’s restrictions, trans people will be forced to pay for private care, go DIY or detransition against their will. The consequences will be deadly. The changes will hit working class young people and young people of colour hardest, as these communities already face disproportionate barriers to accessing care.
For queer people, healthcare has always been political. We take inspiration from our queer elders who resisted Section 28 and inaction on the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. Reverse the ban! Dykes of all ages, unite for trans healthcare!
SILENCE = DEATH 🪦 🪦 🪦 HRT SAVES LIVES
On Monday evening, we launched our new zine “Partners in Loot: BP and the British Museum, Past, Present and Future” and were joined by incredible panellists, including Hannah David from @pcsculturegroup , Allan Struthers from @artistscultureworkersldn , author of the Brutish Museums @profdanhicks and Oriane Bui from @lsesusjp
We explored our new zine uncovering BP and the British Museum’s shared history of colonial plunder and their present partnership in service of imperialist genocide and ecological destruction. We also spoke about what the complete transformation and democratisation of the British Museum could look like, staring with the £50 million partnership.
Our zine is now available to view online and order.
