Wes Streeting is a walking f*ckup.

"Authored by people with no skin in the game"? Sullivan has enormous links to Sex Matters, Maya Forstater and Helen Joyce. She very much has skin in the game, she wants us gone.

She has interests but her world isn’t materially affected by this ours is

I don't count that as skin in the game. Yes she wants us gone, but it doesn't actually hurt her if we're not gone. So yes, she's biased, she's motivated, she cares. But she doesn't have anything of substance on the line.

I'm not trying to say Sullivan has the same existential investment as trans people, or that the review affects us much more than its implementation or not affects her. Rather I'm saying the "no skin in the game" grants her the benign status of a neutral academic when she's actually a committed bigot

vala.bsky.social•4 days ago

That's fair, they're definitely not neutral disinterested parties. I'm only saying that I don't think I'd use the term "skin in the game" to describe their involvement as they risk nothing.

*sorry should be I'm not saying the review affects us less.

Ugh it's repeating the prostate check myth though :( otherwise good, but I wish that wasn't there

Can we not call it a fuck up, this is a plan and it is progressing well for them and badly for us.
They have also followed the Americans and are now removing anything to do with trans people from the BBC and now the NHS.
