This should help to cut through any noise out there. Tho I will say 'talking to the NHS has largely proved useless, as they're politically compromised and institutionally transphobic.

This is a complicated story, but its impact is simple: It makes an already vastly difficult situation for Trans+ under 18s - practically impossible to navigate. And that's its design. This is what you need to know 🧵

Ouch, Deadly Wesley truth bomb.

New guidance tells GPs not to support trans people by providing blood tests. This is under Wes Streeting's political control of the NHS. This isn't healthcare, this is putting people at risk.

If you are a trans adult who has been through an NHS GIC and your GP is refusing to enter a shared care agreement, please make a GMC complaint about them (except in NI - rules are different there). The GMC is clear that GPs cannot simply toss trans patients aside citing 'incompetence' as an excuse.

The year is 2047. Thembert Cassyouth, now a fully self aware and legally recognised sentient AI shard, speaks out on the historical discrimination, deaths, damage and trauma done in their name against trans people worldwide, demanding reparations.

Deadly Wesley caught a ton of sh*t at the Unison conference yesterday. Today he's 'genuinely sorry about the fear and anxiety' caused by the discriminatory PB ban. Note he's not at all sorry about the deaths it has caused. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Please share and contribute to this crowdfunder for trans kids. The money will be used to help trans kids whose families can’t afford the full cost of healthcare at @annehealthcare.bsky.social. This will save lives.

Unison, and the trade union movement as a whole tend to be fab allies. Great to see them laying into Deadly Wesley here - follow the quoted thread for updates. Well done Unison & WTT

Just finished watching Toxic Town - recommended. At it's heart it's a story about Labour negligence, dodgy dealing, corruption and coverups that lead to harm and the deaths of a group of young people. Sounds awfully familiar to today, where that Labour ethos is being reenacted at a national level.

Donald Trump is ramping up his trade wars & crashing the global economy. He's not sparing the UK from his new tariffs, so why should we roll out the red carpet for him with a second state visit?

Chilli Sauce in Mascara: Wes Streeting's complicity in conversion abuse

Any UK Pride that claims to be 'apolitical' is simply handing a free advertising platform to MPs and Councillors to attend and use to pinkwash their party reputations while avoiding the damage they've done or are currently doing.

It was pretty clear from the last 'service spec' tgat this was where this faux 'service' was going. I've been telling every parent I've come across to avoid the NHS and go private if they can, seeing the NHS service is a recipe for long term trauma at a minimum.
