Hey Kim, all, I should be able to make it to the meeting tomorrow for the first time in ages(!) Speaking of ideas that could benefit from a partnership approach - I was thinking over the weekend that I've encountered *so many* businesses since the interim guidance was published that are choosing to ignore it and see it as a violation of their customers' privacy. I had a little search and was surprised to see there's no map out there that businesses who reject transphobia and welcome trans people can add themselves to. I had lots of ideas about how to make this a reality, but re-reading your blog post helped me realise that solving this problem by myself is maybe just adding to the challenges you describe. With hope, ~ Quinn On Thu, 8 May 2025 at 15:25, Kim Foale <kim@gfsc.studio> wrote:
