After 5 years waiting on Tavistock, it looks like TransPlus will see me soon after my referral was moved over to them a couple of months ago. It's completely unacceptable that trans people need to wait so long for the NHS. We need a desegregated informed consent system now.

So Trump's plan on stopping Israel ethnic cleansing Palestinians and colonialising Gaza is the US will do it instead. I see Democratics from the US on here being like "well Kamala wouldn't have done this." No, she would've just let Israel carry on with it. Both of them are culpable in genocide.

We're proud to support this statement, alongside other LGBTIQA+ groups. We've been been failed by successive governments: on banning conversion therapy, on access to trans healthcare, despite being promised change. #SackStreeting

Now after a certain someone has taken up so much of my time today with needing to fact check their transphobic nonsense. I can finally get back to what is left of my Sunday.

I am personally investigating this matter with the relevant Green Party bodies. Presently I have heard no indication that Shahrar's claim is true, but fact checking takes much longer than writing a tweet without providing evidence. I can ensure everyone that I will continue working on this.

Cass is a political sham, said this all along. Everyone involved should be prosecuted for fraud.

The leader of Germany's far right AfD says the Nazis are 'communists'. Nothing could be further from the truth. I ripped this lie apart in this video (from 2023) 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=2biE...

Corporations are only interested in making more and more money. Pretending to be inclusive or falling in line with fascism, is all the same to them as long as the line goes up. Which is why we should work against capitalism in all it's forms.

Starmer said his government would be like New Labour's 'Clause IV on steroids.' Seems Streeting's take on this is NHS PFI version 2. But just like steroids, any plans for privatisation in the NHS should come with a health warning: they may cause dangerous side effects. I write for @metro.co.uk:

Well done for calling them out on their outrageous behaviour. One of the unmistakable trends in this saga is cis people telling trans people how we should fight for our own rights. LGBT+ Labour ignoring their only trans committee member shockingly callous and continues this humiliation.

Such a deeply ironic statement from Wes Streeting about listening to clinicians and not politicians, after making a political decision to ban healthcare for young trans people. He is a complete disgrace to his office and the LGBTIQA+ community.

I share concerns of experts at the Council of Europe that removing access to #PubertyBlockers except through clinical trials may breach “fundamental ethical principles governing research”, amounting to coercion and a breach of young people's human rights. I asked Wes Streeting about this today... 🧵

I'm glad to have imputed on this from the LGBTIQA+ Greens side. The last thing we need is to put party politics ahead of calling out Wes Streeting on banning puberty blockers. It's time for Labour and the Tories to stop politicising the healthcare and lives of young trans people.

I don’t condone murder, but I damn well hope the billionaire class realizes after the killing of the UHC CEO that their fear & outrage mean nothing to a world crushed by their greed & cruelty. After all the devastation they’ve unleashed on countless lives, why should anyone care about their pain?

Every few months, I get an email from Universal Credit saying I have a message in my journal. My heart stops for a minute every single time. In the dread they’ll want to do another Work Capability Assessment. Until I see it's just another notification restating that ESA is affecting my claim.

We need to stop centering around reactionary tantrums & lies. They sell junk food for the soul—cheap, easy - what people want to hear. We’re stuck selling "eat your veggies" in their sandbox. Let’s instead build, dream, and create stories that inspire—a feast beyond their empty promises.

Looks like the weather is doing a transphobia. Can't risk going outside in my wheelchair today with Storm Bert going on. So this is the first Bristol Trans Pride I'll miss since I've been out.

Bristol's first Green MP and leader of the party, actually listening to trans people about our lives, rather than buying into transphobic narratives. We need a lot more politicians like this all over the country.

Speaking as an expert on transphobia and the gender critical movement: Block them. Hide replies. Report them. Do not "debate" them. The fact that they are campaigning so hard against blocking and in favour of debate/their right to harassment should tell you - it serves their interests to engage.
